No worries, Dom! I know we're all super anxious to get going, but take your time!

Or I'll post the second track to Mr. E.P. Nosisberg's album.

That's a threat?

Oh no. Mr. Nosisberg has a beautiful, wondrous voice. Wouldn't you agree?

Wouldn't know, never heard it.

But when the host of a party specifically reaches out to you, it's bad form to say no.

Put me in the roster.


NOW.......I'M MOTIVATED!!

Glad to be facing off with you again, Mordecai.

Dom wrote:We could potentially start... tonight...

Then let's get this filled. Tell your friends.

Glad to see you, DDL!

Fantastic! It'll be great to play with you again.

And it seems Sloonei has voted yes! So we now officially need 5 more, since sig is the only one who committed to playing but hasn't yet voted.

I'm really excited about this game! We have a fantastic host (Dom) and somehow RL has always gotten in the way of me playing a Dom-hosted game before, despite being in similar mafia circles as him for the past 5 years now, so I'm stoked on that fact alone. We also have a fantastic player lineup, with some really great players from The Syndicate and some from other communities (1 from RYM, the 2 from the INTJ game who are still relatively new here, and a few from JTM/GTF, right? and then there's Gumshoe as well). I'm especially excited to play with all of the folks I haven't played with yet!

Fixed the pyramid for you, Gumshoe.

Thanks MP. I'll buy you a beer or whatever your drug of choice is that last one looks a little weed like, I think it will do.

Pretty much any of those look good to me. Except the tea, since I don't like tea. :P

For future personal reference, what's this other site?

Naruto Forums (NF). I met DDL and a few other folks over there. This requires some backstory.

I didn't even know they (or a bunch of other sites) played mafia. Like some others here, I fell in love with mafia at Lostpedia and played on the LP-based sites The Piano, Revolutionmafia, and Hedville. Of course, there was the SpoilerTV route as well, but I never played there, only heard other folks (such as Roxy) talk about it. I introduced it to a bunch of friends I had made at ProgArchives (my main forum hub from '08-'11) and they loved it, so some on The Syndicate come from that background. About a year ago, I had played once or twice on RateYourMusic, only because someone (Keterman) I knew originally from ProgArchives had found out that they played mafia there, so I checked it out. My life was way too busy though and my presence over there quickly faded, to concentrate solely on this site. That was pretty much the extent of my mafia universe.

Ever since we came in contact with Thingyman and found out about the Mafia Championships, it was like an entire previously unknown mafia universe revealed itself to many here, myself included.

I scanned the preliminary list of participating sites and saw Naruto Forums. I love Naruto and never checked that site out, so I made it one of my first sites to scope out for mafia. I met DDL there, played a game, and we talked more as the Championships Game 3 played out as well, since our rep (Turnip Head) was in it as well as NF's rep (Soneji/WolfPrinceKiba).

I was also reminded of RYM and really longed to head back over there again, so I did. I've been playing a few games there (including one I'm in at the moment) recently and that's where some newer folks came from as well, such as JJJ, Sloonei, etc., since I got four of them to come over here and play the recently completed Economics game.

Where is DDL? DDL, where are you!?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, I think Sloonei will be playing, but he did say "probably" in his post, so it's a little unclear if he's fully committed yet. Either way, he needs to play.

And yes, DDL needs to play.

I want to play but I'm already about to play a game in my site and I really want to avoid playing 2 games at once.

Maybe if I get day 1 lynched there or something...

Guys stop doing this to me.

Maybe I'll sign up over there and lead a lynch on you Day 1.

Gumshoe wrote:Sorry Dom, I will not be able to play either. One more person down.



Now this game will never get off the ground



Just kidding! I'm still in. I hope I get to creep in y'all's bedrooms in the dead of night and smother y'all with your own pillows soon. What? Too dark? No. It's just mafia!

I like this guy already.

Well, I think Sloonei will be playing, but he did say "probably" in his post, so it's a little unclear if he's fully committed yet. Either way, he needs to play.

And yes, DDL needs to play.

We need 6 more because sig didn't vote in the poll, right?

Golden wrote:OK, I'm in.

Yay!

Sloonei wrote:I am probably in for this, MP told me to

Damn straight.

Noted. Thanks, Dom!

Seriously, this game looks awesome. Let's get it going, folks!

Welcome to The Syndicate, sig!

Well, call me the Miracle Maker, since if I do lose my shit, I have every intention of doing so privately to Llama only. :P

Llama, I hope you're ready to handle my shit.

That is so terrifying.

Missing Person wrote:Give me a day to mull it over. I'm tanked after running the 90's game on JTM. But I may play.

Totally understandable.

Also, you should play, other MP, so we can enact our MP plan.

Missing Person wrote:So are special roles basically concealed in this one?

Seems that way. None of Dom's roles explicitly say "Secrets", yet since no abilities are listed, I think that every role's ability must be Secret.

Maybe he can clarify.

Maybe we can play a game together again, finally, for more than 1 cycle. :P

Oh that's right, I forgot it wasn't all your fault. :P

Where did I say it wasn't? :P

Haha, as much as I'd love to do that, I will be inevitably quieter this game. I've already procrastinated too much the past month of my summer participating in posting contests I mean playing mafia. :P

No, actually, I'm multipolar. Just look at all of my colors!

In that case, I'm tripolar.

14 more let's go

Oooh, more fresh blood. Welcome to The Syndicate, Scotty!

And welcome to The Syndicate, Gumshoe!

My life is just too too busy to commit right now.

I know, I'm just saying I know you'll be playing. :P

Hedgeowl and Golden, you WILL play.

Also, I may not be posting a ton this game, but I've said that before and still posted quite a bit, so we'll see how it goes. But now if anyone is asking 'where is MP?' they can quote this and show that I warned all of you. :P

Cobalt wrote:Joined here specifically for this game, oh man. I'm pumped.

Welcome to The Syndicate, Cobalt!! Nice to meet you.

So my life will become increasingly busier as the summer progresses, but somehow I've never played a Dom game. That is a travesty.

Thus, I am playing.
