The Syndicate

Correct, sorry to disappoint anyone, but there are several reasons that banners are not happening for Heists:

1) They occur with potentially much higher frequency than other games, and our main banner-makers Long Con and Spacedaisy are barely able to keep up with current banner demand.

2) These games are designed to provide exercises by which players can practice the core element of mafia, the hunt, but because they are smaller (13 players max) they have been argued by some as 'easier to win'.

3) These games do not count toward the annual Game of Champions eligibility, hence we do not want confusion (banner = eligible). (But they do count toward their own Heist All-Star Game, and the MVP from there will be eligible for Game of Champions if they are not already.)

An MVP banner will be awarded to the MVP of the Heist All-Star game, however.

drum roll please...

The MVP of Pet Sounds Mafia is...


You will now be eligible for the first Heist All-Star game!

Congratulations are in order!!

I know so many people
Who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads
And stay in their safety zones
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say
That won't make them defensive
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come out
And tell them the way that they live could be better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better
I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself


Luke11646 has been lynched. He was a vanilla civilian and "I Know There's an Answer".

The game has ended. The mafia have won!!

Congratulations to Boomslang, Enrique, and Matt F!! They are the winners of Pet Sounds Mafia.

All votes are final and locked when cast.

Also, FYI I have a huge deadline on Monday, so I won't be checking this game thread until I've made substantial progress on this term paper. Since it's LYLO, the timing for this phase is unpredictable, so I may not be around to immediately end it. If the conditions have been met for Day 4 to end, I promise I'll end the Day as soon as I can.

Hey, Wilgy, I know this wasn't your song, but this is for you:

I came along when scum broke your soul
That's when you needed someone
To stop forgetting to vote

I gave you pills at a discounted price
That's what you needed the most
To set your scum radar back

I know you cried, and you felt blue
But when I could I gave strength to you
I'm waiting for the day when you can post again

I drugged you mad
And when your face looked sad
It made me think that's not enough
That you needed more drugs

But it better come pretty soon
I hoped you'd feel glad
That you found your soul
And I hoped that you vote

He hunted you, but that's all in game
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can vote again

He hunted you, but that's all in game
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can vote again

You didn't think that I could sit around and let the scum win
You didn't think that I could sit around and let the scum take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and let you all die
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you all go
You didn't think...


DrWilgy has been killed by the mafia. He was a vanilla civilian and "I'm Waiting for the Day".

It is now Day 4.

It is now LYLO. If a civilian is lynched today, mafia will win the game.

All votes are locked once they are cast. Day 4 will end once a player receives a majority of the votes, or once all players have voted.

Choutas has been lynched. He was a vanilla civilian and "Pet Sounds".

It is now Night 3. You have 24 hours to silently mourn the death of Choutas. If you are the mafia, send in your kill.

Entirely disturbing.

I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my marmot

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my marmot, let it hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Lets not think about tomorrow
And don't talk put your head on my marmot

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my marmot, listen to its heart beat
Listen, listen, listen...

Don't talk, put your head on my marmot
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my marmot
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my marmot


Metalmarsh89 has been killed by the mafia. He was a vanilla civilian and "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)".

It is now Day 3. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

I had to prove that I could make it alone
But that's not me
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
But that's not me

I could try to be big in the eyes of the thread
What matters to me is what I could be before I was dead

I'm a little bit scared
Cause I haven't been lynched in a long time
You needed my vote
And I know that I left at the wrong time
The spectators I tell them
Tell 'em what I was up to said that's not me

I went through all kinds of changes
Took a look at corpse and said that's not me
I miss my bod and the posters I've known
And every night as I laid there alone I did dream

I once had a dream
So I posted and hunted for the scum
I soon found out that my townie life wasn't so pretty
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready

I once had a dream
So I posted and hunted for the scum


a2thezebra has been lynched. She was a vanilla civilian and "That's Not Me".

It is now Night 2. You have 24 hours to silently mourn the death of a2thezebra. If you are the mafia, send in your kill.

Wouldn't it be nice if we were copless
Then we wouldn't have our role cards read
And wouldn't it be nice to kill so stressless
In the kind of world with the cop long dead

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can tell the cop goodnight forever

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the night together
High five each other since the cop is through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kill was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Teamie then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be copless
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice



FZ. has been killed by the mafia. She was the cop and "Wouldn't It Be Nice".

It is now Day 2. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

Where did your lizard avy go
Where is the flame I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Brian C. no

Who took that sig away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Brian C. you

Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a Pokemon die
Oh, Brian C. why

Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love your civility then
Could we ever bring it back once it has gone
Oh, Brian C. no


bcornett24 has been lynched. He was a vanilla civilian and "Caroline No".

It is now Night 1. You have 24 hours to silently mourn the death of bcornett24. If you are the cop, send in your PM. If you are the mafia, send in your kill.

Literally every user on this forum except for our 13 players now should be able to see the Spectator Chat in this subforum. If you cannot, PM me.

I've changed my mind.

Please just note the normal off-topic restriction.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Sockface, do we get one reaction post during each night phase?

No.

I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent sock
From the Syndicate and ProgArchives home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Sockface squared the fight
And he was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought him down
But he's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a mod'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My players were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe posty wealthy and wise

I've been in this town so long
So long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

A shot was fired. MovingPictures07 collapses to the ground, blood gushing out of his body. The sock has been murdered.

The following behavior constitutes non-participation:

- If you do not post at all during 1 entire Day cycle.
- If you do not cast a vote in 2 or more lynches.

If any of these are committed, it will qualify as non-participation for the purposes of this game. Consequently, any player who commits any of these will have their Participation Score (P-Score) penalized.

If at any time you are afraid you cannot fulfill any of these requirements due to any reason, please PM both hosts immediately explaining your situation or requesting a replacement. In the case of the latter, we will then seek out someone to take your place and your P-Score will not be penalized.

Exceptions will be made for unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances.

Gameplay
1. Days are 48 hours. At the end of each Day, the player with the most votes will be lynched, and that player will have his or her role revealed. If instead a majority of the players select "NO LYNCH", no player will be lynched. Before the end of each Day, you must cast your vote. A missing vote will negatively impact your Participation Score (see: Participation). Mafia do NOT have BTSC during Days.
2. Nights are 24 hours. During this time the thread will be locked. The mafia will gain BTSC and submit a kill. The civilian cop will send in the name of a player to check. At the end of each Night, one player will be nightkilled, and that player will have his or her role revealed.
3. All game conversation must take place in the thread unless you are a member of the mafia. Mafia may only engage in BTSC during Nights.
4. All votes must be cast in the poll to count. It is considered standard and good form to simultaneously post and bold your vote, but it is not necessary for your vote to count.
5. All votes are changeable. You may change your vote as many times as you wish up until the vote's deadline.
6. Civilians win if they have eliminated the Mafia. Mafia win if they have outnumbered the Civilians.
7. If your faction wins, you win, regardless of whether you are dead or alive at endgame. Do your best! Fight for your faction's win condition. Players who fail to meet participation criteria will be denied a win.
8. At the end of this game, all players will vote on an MVP. The player with the most votes will be crowned MVP of Pet Sounds Mafia and will be eligible to play The Syndicate's very first All-Star Heist Game.
9. Your Participation Score (P-Score) will be adversely affected if you fail certain participation criteria. Refer to the guidelines on Participation for more detail. In addition, upon failure of participation criteria, you may be forcibly replaced or modkilled if you have not corresponded with both hosts.
10. The Mod on Duty for this game is Epignosis. He is there for any of your questions or concerns not strictly related to game or role mechanics. Please PM him with any grievances or concerns you may have at any time, notably including conflicts with other players. Keep the thread fun and clean of emotionally-charged drama or conflicts; PM Epignosis instead. I want to keep this game as fun as possible for everyone.

Rules
1. Be respectful and remember that this is a game. Although mafia is a game of deception and can be rather heated, recognize that the game is not personal and that your friends may be lying to you in the spirit of the game. Please treat your fellow players with respect, even if you suspect or strongly disagree with them.
2. No BTSC (Behind the Scenes Contact/Conversation) with anyone. Do not talk about the game with anyone outside the thread, in any capacity, except for the hosts or the Mod on Duty or any BTSC. If you are unsure whether you have BTSC, that means you do not have it.
3. No editing or deleting of posts.
4. Role outing and info-dumping is acceptable.
5. Songs and roles are all assigned randomly. Songs are irrelevant to alignment. Everything is fully randomized. Mafia have not been given fake song claims because it isn't necessary. You may claim your song if you like.
6. Self-voting is permitted.
7. Dead players should not post on-topic and any posts made should be in dead red. There is a "dead" code for this function.
8. Off-topic posts should be in off-topic green. There is an "OT" code for this function.
9. Posts from non-players should be off-topic and any posts made should be in non-player blue. There is a "np" code for this function.
10. This is your host's color. All of your host's posts will be in this color. Don't use it!
