This one looks fun and more my speed for a first game here, so shoot me another PM on RYM whenever there's a less intimidating game open. Thanks for the invite!
Please be on call for a replacement. It always happens.

Indeed.

Also, HBoy, I should have mentioned... there's Frisky Dingo in sign-ups if you're interested! Should be fun!

Glad you made it over here nonetheless!

Definitely will do.

Golden wrote:HAMBURGERBOY!

I love the RYM influx

THIS. 100%.

I asked HamburgerBoy to see if he wanted to play, but the game filled up so quickly at the end there, guess he missed it! Bummer.

And I'm Sockman.

Personally, I would NOT recommend infodumping. Sometimes against the rules, sometimes not, but almost always considered bad form unless specified otherwise.

I don't know if I am.

Spectating online drunk mafiaing is always glorious.

Aww, I was under the impression he does his best work while loaded.

Oh wait, thats me.

I just want him to be sober ENOUGH to start the game. He definitely does his best work while buzzed, at least.

Hey, Scotty, I'm glad I'll get to play with you for more than a Day or so this time!

How are you liking The Syndicate so far?
I'm looking forward to playing with you too! Let me know right away if I'm on your team this game, ok?

Syndicate's awesome! I mean, I have an addictive personality and thrive on deduction. So mafia fits the bill, and is pretty cool online.

Also interesting seeing differences between communities and playstyles from the other site I started in (Jesus Toast Mafia) and here. It's like apples and tomatoes, I'd say.

Will do.

Glad to hear it! I can relate 100% to the bolded/underlined. Lol.

I know, right? I love playing at other sites. For 4 1/2 years, I played on a few sites, but within the same general group of players, although I did introduce mafia to a bunch of newbies (at the time) around 4 years ago as well. Since the Championship game, it's been amazing to play on RYM again and check out other sites/communities. I love finding out about other sites and how they play!

I only wish I had more time for mafia. Can't complain, since RL takes up a lot of my time for good reason, but mafia is just amazing.

Indeed it is! Glad to see you here!

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:What about the black and white sock you use on NF?

That's the original image; it's the album cover for Unrest by avant-garde progressive rock band Henry Cow.

Long Con edited it to create the rainbow-modified one I have now, since I was wanting something different, and it references my Rainbow Raider role in The Flash. It was an unconventional faction-based game that I replaced into, and knew I didn't have much time to play, and no one was listening to me, so I self-impoded and got lynched pretty quickly after my entrance. The Rainbow Raider's phrase "I believe in me!" thus was modified. :P

G-Man wrote: No idea. I ran a few Google searches and it seemed fun but I've tired of it already. Not sure if I want to stick with the G-theme, go with a comic book theme, or a watch theme. I think I'll probably change my avatar every game. It's been fun to do for the most part.

Oh, okay. I say changing it each game seems fun as well! I've had the Sock for SO LONG though (7 years?), so I've tried changing my avatar, but it never lasts long. Going forward, I'll likely continue changing my avatar but only while retaining the Sock in some way, shape, or form.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:I'm in.

I was worried I'd be playing another game at the same time, but it seems the other game will be delayed. And this game looks fucking awesome. I love Watchmen.

YES! Awesome.

What's your current avatar from?
Dude...that's from the alphabet.

That's what you get for studying numbers too long.

Funny, but I'm serious, looks like it's from a kids' show or something. :P

Made it through one of my super major deadlines today! Just one more on Monday. I knew I was hoping the game would wait until both were over, but I think with 1 down I could devote enough time to this game, so... let's get on with it!!

This will probably be my last game anywhere until December.

I'm really glad you're playing, especially considering that! We'll get to play together for real this time.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I'm voting for MovingPictures07 on Day 1 if he has more than 50 posts before the end of the day.

This won't happen, I assure you.

Unless I want to fail out of the PhD program, that is.

Long Con wrote:Pact?

Alright, if you play, I won't vote for you on Day 1, unless:
- You have no posts
- You have the lowest number of posts
- You do something SUPER suspicious

How's that?

Then we'll see how much heat we take due to the "pact". You may not last past D2.

Sweet, timmer and Cookie are playing! Just 5 more.

Ooo, and you will be warmed up for when Recruitment Mafia 4 starts!

Play, LC. Please.

So glad to see another member of the old guard here. It seems I picked a good year to find this place!

Also, after being thoroughly crushed in Guess Who, the temptation to play this game is mighty strong.

Play, G-Man. You know you want to.

No way!

Badass! Good to see you, man!

I guess I should have retired with my 66% winning record intact.

Congrats on winning Guess Who!

I'll have to update the Hall of Fame and The Syndicate Master Spreadsheet. I'll do that shortly here.

I'm so glad I decided to forego my temporary break, that's for sure.

Glad to be playing alongside you once again.

And I love individual win conditions too, that's what really attracted me to this game.

1 game at a time? Pffft. :P

Seriously though, fair enough. Would be appreciated if you changed your mind at some point, however.

Sloonei wrote:I'm probably in if this doesn't start right away.

I'm hoping this won't start for another week or a bit longer myself, but I don't want too much longer than that!

DharmaHelper wrote:I mean, I guess I'll play.

Yay!!!

It'll be good to play with you again.

G-man, Golden, Llama, LC, and Sloonei should play as well.

Excellent.

I'm in. Just can't miss this game.

Okay, I may not last a week's worth of mulling over this game after all. It just looks TOO good.

Bass_the_Clever wrote:WTF this is the one speed game I want to play but I need a break in a bad way.

Alright, Bass, how's this? If you play, I'll play.

Epignosis wrote:My speed games are always 24/24.

Good to know, thanks!

Ricochet wrote:Join us, MP, to speed up the process. If I'll be the Comedian, I'll help with out with a quick exit if you can't play anymore.

It's very tempting.

Let me see how the coming week goes and I should be able to make a decision one way or the other.

G-Man wrote:You can always just ignore most of the thread, read the last 5-10 posts, and blame one of those posters for your uninformed vote. Either that or just commit to drive-by voting for a full game?

Not my style.

I feel absolutely terrible enough as is when I miss one vote or can't analyze all of the thread. I'd be seriously bummed to miss the game, but I'd rather miss it than sign up and not play, since I can't stand the idea of flaking on a game.

If I do even play, I will very likely play a relatively more light-hearted, less posty game. There's no way I can play up to my most posty (Economics) and probably not even my normal posting level (Roger Rabbit) either.

Ahhhhh!

This HAD to be the game that went into Speed Game sign-ups right now, didn't it? This is the only one of three Speed Games in the list (the other two being Daisy's Psych Mafia and G-Man's 1, 2, 3 Numbers Lover Game) most apt to tempt me out of my "no mafia until after the honeymoon" break.

Okay, so as I said in Frisky Dingo, my schedule has really been kicking my ass, but I might actually have some time to play mafia for a week or two max in late July after some major deadlines come and pass. My window is restricted to roughly July 21st to August 1st or so, sadly, and that's only assuming I manage to completely knock out my replication by the deadline (July 20th). If I knock it out before then, then I might be able to start sooner. If I don't knock it out by then, well, I need to get it done before I leave, so I won't be able to play.

Also, the game almost has to be 24/24, since 48/24 will probably be too long of a game for me, unless I die early or the game falls right in my mafia window (even then, still would have to die somewhat early). So... is it 24/24 or 48/24?

That first week of August is pretty much the cutoff, regardless of how much I knock out my PhD workload, since I'm leaving San Antonio on the 5th and getting married on the 8th (for those of you who don't know by now, it's to the lovely Spacedaisy, and I'm a very lucky man).

So, for now, I'm "Maybe", only because this game looks freaking amazing and it's tempting me real bad.
