The Syndicate

I am going to start sending out role PM's and unlock the tread to start Day 0 by 4 pm EST. I work at 5 so I want everything started before then.

Got home at 1am from our internet-free month long travels, only to find that the game I've most been looking forward to FOREVER is all full and ready to go.
*sobs even more*

Please put me down as a replacement.
Have fun, everyone!!! I'm sooooooooo jelly! :jealous:

Ok, you can play.

Also, I'm putting out to those who voted no, please let me know if you can possibly me a potential replacement. Just in case.

Before anything else I want to say OMG!!! I am loving this player list. I love to see old friends come back to play with new friends. I hope everyone learns to love to hate some of them.

I just got home from work, I thought I'd be earlier but I wasn't.

Sign ups are now closed and aapje didn't say no so I will not accept no any longer.

Alright, I am off to work. I expect 40 players when I get home.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Alright, so what's going on with these players?

No, I shall not follow anyone!
8
Black Rock (2), Long Con (4), Made (6), boo (8), juliets (28), nijuukyugou (31), Heiots (33), fingersplints (34)

And why aren't they playing? They should be.

juliets PM'd me with a very good explanation so she's free to not play. She regrets the timing with her whole heart and coming from juliets I believe her heart.

Don't worry, it'll be easier than you think.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Wow, up to 33 players now. This is getting pretty crazy.

I was hoping this game would reach Fight Club-level (38) or better, but 33 is pretty solid.

I think it's 34 assuming a spot is reserved for Boomslang, since he wants to play as well, because aapje and he aren't included in the 32 on the poll (right?). I think he'll be dropping by this afternoon to sign up officially.

I am adding Boomslang to the list. He has till tonight to say if he wants off.

Sign ups will remain open for today. I have to work from 5-11 tonight when I get home I will close the sign ups and start the set up the game will start tomorrow for sure. So if you want in you have to about 11:15 pm EST.

Well if the monkey is playing we only need one more. Which means I will be working on game related stuff tonight instead of getting the much needed sleep that I deserve.

I assume he is playing or he wouldn't show his face...

I'm back and we are so close. Lots of things but first...

I hope this means you are playing. I don't see a vote in the poll but I wouldn't know how to host if you didn't play.

I found free Wifi around these parts, it's super awesome. LC will update the players list for me though cause I'm on a phone. I'm so happy you decided to play Timmer, reywaS what do you really have to think about? You know you belong in this game.

Ok, so I am leaving today until Sunday night. This is why the game couldn't have started before Monday. I will start the game on Monday if it's filled. I will have limited time or internet to check in but I will check in. Let's fill this up!

G-Man wrote:Sadly, I will not be able to play. This game and A World Reborn were among the games that I most looked forward to and it seems likely that I shall miss them both. Prepping for the baby is taking up more and more of my time at night (just look at my weak participation in Frisky Dingo) and I've got some lovely meetings and HOA board issues coming up. We're also now car shopping, as my wife's 15-year-old Civic is showing signs of needing life support very soon. Once baby 2.0 finds her day-to-day rhythm, I'll be able to sneak back in and try to join a game here and there if I think it won't push me over the edge of sanity. I'll still be around in non-game threads but it looks like Frisky Dingo may well be my final game of 2015.

My heart just broke. I really do understand but that doesn't make the hurt any less.

I see LC answered some questions but I am going to outline all the game mechanics here.

Recruitment

All players, except the Leaders, will start off the game as neutral. Recruitment will happen on a schedule designed to keep the game balanced. Some recruitment will happen privately and some will be public competitions. The winners of those competitions will be private. Usually by the end of the game every player alive has been recruited. All non-recruited players will survive to win. The baddie teams will have a limited amount of recruits at one time. The teams will not exceed a certain number. That number is private.

Positions

Each role will have a position. When you are on that position that will be your power. Day 0 we will vote for the first position. That power will be active for Day 1 and Night 1. Night 1 we will vote on a different position, that power will be active on Day 2 and Night 2 and so on. After the third position is chosen I will recycle the first position chosen and will continue like that. We should always have three positions to choose from. There are circumstances that could change that or force things.

Epic Challenges

These are private challenges for each role. They will not be shared in the thread or in BTSC. We will monitor all BTSC and BTSC can only happen where we have told you. We are open to circumstance and if a team needs to communicate differently we may approve such a thing. Epic challenges are made this way for a reason and we will not forgive this rule.

Typhoony can explain how this rule was very important to him and his win. Don't worry, no more Musketeers this time around.

Once again we tried to step up the game and it's mechanics. Be fair and patient. Nights will be a struggle to get right.

Also, uhm

Ricochet wrote:Wait, how does this game work?

There will be 4 leaders and every one else starts out without an alignment. Each team will recruit on a schedule to build the teams.

Two teams are civvie aligned and two teams are baddie aligned.

How about next weekend?

We'll see if he challenges me enough.

Tell aapje that if he doesn't play this game that I will create a useless, boring, vanilla character for Secret Mafia 3 and name it Aapje the Lame.

As for my involvement in this game, I intended to take a break to prep for the baby but I'm finding it harder and harder each day not to click yes.

Ummm.... I assumed you were playing this game since you said you wanted to. So... yeah...

Does that mean I can kill you in this game too?

EDIT: Post # 7,000 sure came quick.

No.

wish I could play

It will not be the same without you. Will you be able to play A World Reborn in a couple of months-ish?

Screw your game, I'm working on her for this game.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Assuming this doesn't start until 08/14 or later, I'm absolutely in. No way would I miss this.

It won't start until the 17th at the earliest

I've never hosted without him. I would be very lonely and bored. If Typhoony didn't piss him off so much last game...

Glad to see you LoRab.

This player list is so freaking awesome!

Typhoony is fine, it's aapje you've got to watch out for.

I like your style, I hope it works

Typhoony wrote:Hello, I'm new to Mafia and really looking forward to finally playing my first game!

I am so happy to see you both.

Now if TH just shows up I'll have my three T's

Golden wrote:I am taking a mafia break until Recruitment starts... for however long or short that time is. But there is no way I'm missing this one.

The only thing is, I do have a 9 day holiday in here (my sister-in-laws wedding) where I won't be very active, but I still will be able to participate and vote I expect.

This game will not start before the 17th or until it fills.

Recruitment is a game for many, we will not limit the number of players that sign up to the game. With that said we also will not run it with less than 31 players. We have 31 roles completed and ready to go. If we get more than 31 players some players will start the game as Vanilla Civilians, they will have a clan and when they are recruited they will gain a role. I wish I could link the Recruitment 1 and 2 but they aren't available at this time. Recruitment 3 was played on Rev and can be found here http://forum.revolutionmafia.com/viewto ... =24&t=2168

The Clans

Children of Serenity - They were the true believers in the lessons of Serenity, The clan is made of law makers, judges, those who will maintain order.

Guardians of the Lifeforce - Peaceful, believers in nature, healers. They have little use for civilization. They seem cold to some because they shun progress.

Warriors of the Shadows - Strong, honorable, vicious. They are often thought of as evil but they are interested in maintaining peace.

Sorcerers of the Elements - Selfish, Chaotic, driven by power. They are talented in magic. Not truly evil though.

Brotherhood of the Inner Eye - Interested in inner peace,they respect order. They will choose to influence people's choices

Each role will be assigned a clan, aspects of the roles are influenced by the clan they are from. These are not teams, just origins.
