The Syndicate

So.... Here I am, in charlotte airport. Cincinnati to charlotte flight went okay. Then I make it in time to transfer to tallahassee. Tallahassee flight gets delayed because flight is late coming in. Gets delayed two more times due to maintenance. We finally leave around 1150, which was when I was supposed to arrive. We get all the way to tallahassee airport but can't land, apparently, due to the storm. So what do we do? Head back to charlotte. By this time it is well after 2. Next flight they can get any of us on to tallahassee is 610PM. Well I was supposed to meet Allen at the hotel at 8am and my phd schedule would last through about 430. So that wasn't going to work. I finally got to talk to an agent. I now have a flight scheduled back to Cincinnati leaving at 730. At least I will be able to work tomorrow. Even if I won't get in until like 10 so I will have a late night. I sent Allen email letting him know. And now I am running on no sleep. So I guess post will be up sometime after work tomorrow night. And by tomorrow I guess.I man later today.

Who deserves to die?

I updated the player list, at least.

I have to do a few other things now, but I'll see if I get to the story tonight too.

Who should be lynched?

I forgot to post this in here yesterday, sorry!

MovingPictures07 wrote:So it's been a hell of a day. My flight got cancelled, and I was on hold for three hours with US Airways earlier today and still never got a hold of anyone. Tried again tonight. They won't even put me on hold now.

Nonetheless, I rearranged it with the university and also with my work to get a new date -- next Friday, the 21st. And I just booked a new flight. Hopefully I can get a refund for my first flight, though, and I'm definitely going to keep trying to call them over and over.

So what does that mean for you guys? It means I will be here tonight and tomorrow night to address questions, take PMs, and even end the night early if necessary.

I will get a post up whenever I can tonight.

Who deserves to be removed from The Red Room?

1. These are actually rules. Yes. They perfectly meet the definition of rules. The host never lies.
2. The players from the other thread can definitely post here without getting punished. And vice versa!
3. You know that saying that "death comes in threes"? It's never true. Especially not here.
4. This thread and the other Champions thread are completely unrelated. COMPLETELY.
5. That said, your alignment here has everything to do with your previous alignment in the other Champions thread.
6. "L" does not stand for lynch and "N" does not stand for night. And they certainly do NOT indicate anything.
7. Just because you're out doesn't mean it's over.
8. May the worst player win.

[center]THE RED ROOM[/center][/b][/u][/size]




[center]ROLES[/center][/b][/u]

• AceofSpaces – Brother of DharmaHelper! His playstyle contrasts with that of his sibling and is much more subdued. Because of this, he may be an easier lynch candidate, since he sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. Has BTSC with DharmaHelper. (L = 1 / N = 2)

• A Person – This shy but anime-loving music lover has a self-proclaimed difficulty knowing anyone's allegiance in mafia with any certainty. Because of this, his gameplay has become increasingly avant-garde, and he often is lumped together with Lizzy and Vompatti for bizarre behavior. Despite this, he is almost always a civvie. If anyone votes against him at any point in the game, and he lives to tell the tale, his role will be revealed, unveiling his intentions. (ProgArchives) (L = 1 / N = 1)

• agleaminranks – agleaminranks knows the pain of dying early in games, having only made it to middle or later stages of the game just once. Because of this, he has been granted the power to resurrect, but just on two occasions, and only if he is alive. (ProgArchives) (L = 1 / N = 1)

• bea – bea may not have the epic reputation of her other veteran comrades, but she always means well and looks out for every other player she believes to be civvie, and sometimes she is underestimated. She serves as a guardian for all of her fellow civvies, protecting one player other than herself from night kills every night. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• birdwithteeth11 – This avian-toothed RL friend of MP often is lynched as a civvie for being misunderstood, but that doesn't stop him from trying his best anyway! He uses his fictitious ego to block a player of his choice every night. Because he is often misunderstood, he is more easily lynched, but sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. And he'll talk to anyone about music, Doctor Who, or politics! (ProgArchives) (Animal Sanctuary Squad) (L = 1 / N = 2)

• blindfaeth – A veteran player waging a comeback, blindfaeth is known for playing a really great mafia game. He has pretty good instinct and is vocal in expressing his suspicions, even if they are different from most others'. Fortunately for him, and his fellow civvies, he has a little something more than gut. He role checks a player of his choice every night, but his accuracy isn't quite perfect, falling in around 80%. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• Boomslang – A RL friend of MP, he can be somewhat on the quiet side, and sometimes attracts attention for his unconventional commentary. The epitome of his best performance was in Super Meat Boy, and because it complements his style even when unintended, he decides to channel Tofu Boy. Because of this, every time he receives three votes against him but escapes a lynch, he is awarded an automatic night protection. (L = 1 / N = 1 + ????)

• DFaraday – DFarday is quiet, but when he does speak, he can have great insight, especially as a civvie, and loves sharing his thoughts nonetheless. Every night, he sends his thoughts to the host, and his opinions will be made public. As a generally more low-key player and low poster, he can be unfairly lynched, and seldom is a night target in the early stages of games. As such, he may be easier to lynch, but sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. (L = 1 / N = 2)

• DharmaHelper – Brother of AceofSpaces! He has a very aggressive, unconventionally analytic playstyle that often brings attention in his direction. As he is a fantastic talker and never gives up, his thread presence may make him more difficult to lynch. He is a rival with Russtifinko; as a result, if DharmaHelper ever votes for him, Russtifinko dies. Creator of the mafia motto of FUNNY OR DIE, DharmaHelper targets one player every night who must make him laugh the subsequent day. If he declares that the player was not funny enough, he kills them, and as such he is the civvie ninja. Has BTSC with AceofSpaces. (L = 2 / N = 1)

• DisgruntledPorcupine – This prickly porcupine loves music! As such, he searches for a fellow ProgArchives member each night; if he finds one, he gains temporary BTSC with them for the subsequent day/night cycle. He always tries his best, but often is really quiet. Too quiet. If he misses a vote, he dies. Fortunately, he sometimes has some pretty good luck during the night. (ProgArchives) (Animal Sanctuary Squad) (L = 1 / N = 2)

• Elohcin – Loves to make cakes! She will make a free cake for anyone she chooses every night, but the contents of the cake are determined by whether she believes her target is civvie or not. Her cakes either thus can give the player the energy to use their night action not just once but twice or role block the player. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• Flyin' High – An entomologist with a love for all things insect and mafia! Well-known for her insight and data analysis, Flyin' High has an excellent, helpful reputation, and can be a huge asset to civvies or baddies. Thankfully here, she provides nothing but her civvie-friendly analysis, and will be quite difficult to lynch. (L = 3 / N = 1)

• Hedgeowl – This vegetarian, Doctor Who loving, owl-obsessed friend of thellama73 loves playing mafia, but as a civvie fears for wrong lynches to be made. She will stop a lynch up to two times throughout the game if she thinks the civvies are in danger. (Animal Sanctuary Squad) (L = 1 / N = 1)

• insertnamehere – Somewhat of an enigma, insertnamehere is a bit off the wall, especially when hosting a game. As a player, he comes up with his fair share of wacky theories, which bring him plenty of attention, but through them he may gain powerful insight. He insanifies three players every night; he is told the subsequent night how many of them were not civvies. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• juliets – One of the nicest people you will ever likely meet, juliets dislikes being a baddie because she dislikes lying. She thrives as a civvie, and even though she sometimes can be slow to declare someone as baddie, she is a pretty strong asset to the civvie team. After careful deliberation, every night, she will select a player of her choice to remove from the subsequent day poll, a power which makes her a bit nervous, but also carries significant potential. Because of her pleasant demeanor, she may be difficult to lynch. (L = 2 / N = 1)

• Mongoose – Your friendly neighborhood Mongoose loves to talk about anything, but especially movies! As a close friend of thellama73, she learns his identity after Night 3. Every night, she sends a PM to a player of her choice, asking them a yes or no question. If she likes their answer, their vote is worth 3x the following day. If she does not like their answer, they start the next day with 3 votes against them. (Animal Sanctuary Squad) (L = 1 / N = 1)

• Russtifinko – A RL friend of MP, he has proven to have an excellent mafia game, characterized by somewhat long posts and a nice, analytic persona. He is a rival with DharmaHelper; as a result, if Russtifinko ever votes for him, DharmaHelper dies. As a very genuine-seeming and persuasive player, Russtifinko can avoid lynches quite well. (L = 3 / N = 1)

• S~V~S – The resident Tilde Queen, S~V~S aggressively leads discussion in the hunt for baddies, but like many of us, can have mixed success. Her determination and focus can prove to be very helpful, but also can lead her down the wrong path. Consequently, a coin is flipped every night; if heads, she must vote the same person she did the previous day, and ramp up her suspicion of this person. She also searches for her buddies, bea, juliets, and Kate, every night. If she finds any of them, she gains BTSC with them. Because she fights so hard, despite bringing attention her way, she may be difficult to lynch. (L = 2 / N = 1)

• Spacedaisy – Significant other of MP, she knows him better than anyone else. Every night she searches for The Host; if she finds him, something very interesting happens. ( L = 1 / N = 1) (Secrets) If she finds MP, they gain BTSC, and MP can then only win with the civvies. If MP dies, Daisy will take over duties as de facto host.

• thellama73 – Llama hates non-participants! Every night, llama decides whether the player with the least amount of posts is role blocked. If there is a tie among the lowest posters, he may choose to role block them all. Once at any time in the game, he can call the Animal Sanctuary Squad to order, and multiply his and his fellow animal-named comrades' votes by three each. As someone who often gathers attention but unfortunately is lynched, especially as a civvie, llama is easy to lynch, but sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. (ProgArchives) (Animal Sanctuary Squad) (L = 1 / N = 2)














• Dom – A younger veteran than his comrades, but don't let that fool you! He is just as skilled of a mafia player as his teammates and is certainly no stranger to baddie wins. He loves asking questions! Every night he will target a player of his choice, asking any yes or no question. He must also predict how he believes that player will answer. If he is right, that player starts the next day period with 3 votes against them. If he is wrong, he receives one strike. If Dom receives three strikes, he starts the next day period with 3 votes against him, and he cannot ask questions the subsequent night. Afterwards, however, his strike count resets, and he can start asking questions again. Because of his aggressive, inquisitive persona, he may be difficult to lynch. (L = 2 / N = 1)

• Kate – A lawyer with a well-known reputation for her insight, Kate is a formidable opponent. She uses her experience of dealing with truth and lies to her advantage and lie detects one statement every night. Obsessed with LOST, Kate cannot be night killed on any night following a day period in which she voted in an order that corresponds to one of the "numbers". As an aggressive, talkative player, and very persuasive, she may be difficult to lynch. (L = 2 / N = varies)

• reywaS – A resident mafia expert who has an excellent baddie career himself, as well as a self-proclaimed fan of Masters of the Universe, reywaS channels the almighty Skeletor every night, forcing a player to vote for another player of his choosing. If the forced player makes it obvious in any way that they have been forced, reywaS will kill them instantly. Because reywaS has two sides to his mafia play, a coin is flipped every night; if heads, he is Aggressive ReywaS, and will be quite difficult to lynch. If tails, he is Quiet ReywaS, and is easier to lynch, but very lucky during the night. (L = 1 or 3 / N = 1 or 3)

• timmer – As a veteran mafia player with more than a few outstanding baddie and independent performances, timmer is a force to be reckoned with. As a movie buff, he searches a player of his choice every night, hoping to discuss movies with them. If he finds Mongoose, they both cannot be lynched or nightkilled the subsequent cycle. If he finds anyone else, he is dissatisfied with their lack of movie knowledge, and makes them post in all movie quotes the subsequent day period. Channeling his time spent as Zodac, he is very difficult to lynch. (L = 4 / N = 1)














• BigDamnHero – This new entrant to mafia won his very first game, and as a baddie! And lied his way magnificently for it. He can get fired up and focused once he thinks he has found a baddie (that isn't on his own team). Consequently, a coin is flipped every night; if heads, he must vote the same person he did the previous day, and ramp up his suspicion of this person. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• Devin the Omniscient – This somewhat zany RL friend of MP has proven himself to be quite the baddie. Channeling Sander Cohen, a role he excelled at magnificently, he whips out his camera every night, taking a picture of a dead player, role checking them. His zany antics sometimes warrant some unwanted attention, but he has shown more than once that it actually works out well for him. Because of this, he may instead be difficult to lynch, and he even sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. As long as he is not doubted (i.e., received five votes against him in one day period), he remains calm. If, however, he is ever doubted, he goes just a bit insane. (Secrets) (L = 2 / N = 2) If Devin is doubted, he can no longer win with his team, winning only as a last man standing role. At this time, however, he also gains a nightly kill, independent of his team.

• Epignosis – Epignosis doesn't take shit from anyone and he can be as aggressive as they come, if he wants to be (which seems to be all of the time). As an English teacher, he emphasizes diction, and he is truly a manipulative master of words. He is married to Elohcin and knows her playstyle incredibly well, making a point to emphasize this fact; as such, he knows which player is assigned to the Elohcin role. As an aggressive, talkative powerhouse, he gathers everybody's attention! Nonetheless, he may be difficult to lynch, as he never lets anyone push him around. (ProgArchives) (L = 2 / N = 1)

• Lizzy – A very insightful mafia player, Lizzy often masks her observations through a veil of wacky WIFOM-filled behavior. Despite her off-the-wall notions, she is one hell of a manipulative powerhouse. She searches for A Person and Vompatti every night. If she finds A Person, she manipulates him into dying for her cause. If she finds Vompatti, they gain BTSC, and she works with him to influence his kill targets. (Secrets) Once she finds Vompatti, she can decide whether to change win conditions and win with him only, or whether she can only win with her team, and not Vompatti. (L = 1 / N = 1)

• Nevinera – An analytical mastermind, Nevinera has an insanely impressive win percentage of all the games he has played, and for good reason. He role checks a player every night, but it can only be a player with whom he voted the same the previous day period. Fortunately for him, he sometimes has pretty good luck during the night. (L = 1 / N = 2)














• Vompatti – Absolutely, positively insane. This crazed wombat will always do whatever he feels like doing, often defying logic and the confines of the game. He lives to cause chaos, even though it appears to be unintentionally. He kills every night. His kill fails automatically if he targets Lizzy. (ProgArchives) (L = ???? / N = ????)
















• MovingPictures07 – The host runs the game. (Secrets) Can end any day or night of his choice. Every night, he role checks three players of his choice. He may win with any team, but he cannot win with any players he has role checked. (L = ???? / N = ????)
