The Syndicate

Hello everyone.

The main thread is now open. All further posting is to occur there. The tribe threads are now locked.

I will be creating a new poll and restarting the day in due course. In addition, everyone will be given view permissions to both threads.

MacDougall was frustrated. Not everyone had done the job that he hoped, and he didn’t take kindly to failure. He was concerned that the meddling of the Citadel Council was becoming problematic.

He had a clear vision for his next target, however. He sent the acolytes out with nunchucks. If you’re committing murder, you may as well do it in style.

Night 8 has ended. Sprityo has died. He was:

15: Cecil (Welcome to Night Vale). Each night, you can write a news article to be published in the thread via the host.

It is now day 9. It will last for 48 hours

Sorry for post lateness - incoming shortly.

New isos are up.

Yes.

Now you have your real post.

PLEASE don't read too much into the other one. I regularly attribute things one person says to another, and I don't check my sources. I wouldn't want you think that everything I say came out of the mouth of the person I attribute it to, sometimes it did and sometimes it's just me having fun or mentioning something that came up but attributing it to whoever comes to mind. I never check my sources when I'm writing.

Haha is epi in the other thread, trying to lynch me?

Nice, we have our second mafia team. This game is going really well.

Can you tell I'm exceedingly busy? I'll swap them over (no secrets revealed by reading my flavour text

)

Hi all

I am exceedingly busy. My apologies for not getting up to date on the isos etc at the start of the thread, but I promise I will do it as soon as I have time.

Everyone looked around and took in their new environs.

“Speedchuck is bad” said S~V~S.

Just then, a messenger ran on to the beach. She looked vaguely familiar, but they couldn’t quite place her. They had no idea what she was doing here.

“I am juliets, and I bring you news” said the messenger “nutella has been poisoned.”

“Speedchuck is good” said S~V~S “but I think we should vote for sig, DDL, Marmot, sloonei and Dharmahelper. We need to start getting the numbers culled around here.”

“Stop disrupting me” said Quin “I’m working.”

“NEW PEOPLE” shoulted nijuukyugou “I love you all.”

“Has anyone seen my bearings?” asked Boomslang “I’m sure I left them somewhere around here."

Day 8 has ended. Marmot has been lynched. He was:

2: The Powder-Faced Women (A Mafia of Unfortunate Events). Your vote counts for two as long as at least one other member of Strexcorp votes the same way. You are MAFIA and a member of STREXCORP.

It is now night 8. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

LoRab wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:55 pm I’m so confused right now. Also, what does LA’s flip say about Niju. And why did we learn LA’s team? I thought we only got alliance from lynxches. Or is it all day kills?

Only traditional nightkills (be they from a mafia team or otherwise) will have no alignment reveal. Any unorthodox kills, along with lynches, will show affiliation.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 3:58 pm @Golden , @Juliets will we be told if a team is eliminated? I don't actually expect an answer (it's Golden!) but worth an ask.

No, but you’ll be told when someone wins

Quin wrote: ↑Sat Mar 17, 2018 12:21 am @Golden

If a player is civilian in their first role and mafia in their second, if they haven't moved to their second role by the time all living mafia are killed does the game end?

If all players are civilian or at least not anti-town at any given point, the game will end and the civilians will win.

Because Rule 8.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 6:53 pm Chuck, what do you think of DH? I may or may not have already asked you this, I forget.
I think DH is town. (He's also not in this tribe)

But he mindmelded with me pretty often, and his scumhunting has seemed genuine in motive. He hasn't been opportunistic or pushy.
I know he isn't in this tribe. We can't discuss prior thoughts on people in the other tribe?

Of course you may, but you can only interact with, target etc people on your own current tribe just as before.

There was a bright flash in the sky. Everyone shielded their eyes, but they found themselves disoriented. No-one could do much for a while, but when they came to, some of them found that they had moved to an entirely new beach. And there was the wreckage of the other half of the train, with them!

They went around, discovering and talking to old friends. In the confusion, it wasn't at all hard for the Citadel Council to arrange a kill. This time, they wanted one of their reanimated subjects back for good - what use is new technology if you can't study it's effects at close quarters? Yes, a dissection was clearly necessary.

Night 7 has ended. JackofHearts2005 has died. He was:

80: Reloader (Greater Idea). You may target someone each night. If they have previously used a one-shot ability they will regain it. You may only target each player once in the game.

It is now day 8. It will last for 48 hours

I edited the post because that was loud.

You may not quote anything from a thread you can no longer see, but you may absolutely discuss your recollection of what occurred there.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 6:44 pm OK, so are we ALL in here now, or did we just flip camps?

The list of alive players in this thread remains current at the start of the thread.

The thread is now unlocked. You may resume.

THE BUTTON HAS BEEN PUSHED

The thread is locked. Please stand by.

Scotty woke up. He realised that his hastily painted ‘vote marmot 2018’ had been resting on his face during the night and he now had “8102 ƚomɿɒM ɘƚoV” printed in blue on his left cheek.

“We absolutely, under all circumstances, must have a lynch today” said Marmot “For these reasons, I propose that we vote me. I’m used to doing that anyway.” And Marmot self-voted

“All in favour?” asked LoRab

All hands shot up. It was decided. Now they could resume sports. They had recently discovered that someone had left an unused golf course in a field near the beach. They wandered off to play.

“Who is bidoff?” asked sig

“I’m not sure” said Spacedaisy “but if they could help me move house, let me know. I’m sick of Fiji, I want to go to California.” She looked over at the remains of the train carriage wistfully.

Day 7 has ended. Marmot has been lynched. He was:

79: Mt Erebus (Mountain). Frequent blizzards cause loss of visibility. Twice in the game, once during a day phase and once during a night phase, you may prevent any abilities or effects from occurring. Any x-shot abilities used will consume a shot. If any ability or effect has already taken place before you use your ability in a phase, your ability will be consumed without effect, however there will be a risk of death to those who have ventured out into the blizzard.

It is now night 7. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

MacDougall rubbed his hands with glee. His acolytes had done all he wanted and more. They'd followed his directions to perfection. Well, almost perfection... there was that small matter off the blizzard. But never mind. The Citadel Council might hope to mess with his plans, but he was feeling confident.

"Acolytes" said MacDougall "You have my orders. Go execute them." And his acolytes did.

Night 6 has ended. S~V~S has died. She was:

58: The Asian Flu (Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3). Any person who votes for you will contract the asian flu unless they are innoculated, and will have a 10% chance of dying in place of the lynch or nightkill. Effect will persist until innoculated. Up to 10 people may be infected in this way at a time. Once innoculated, a person cannot be reinfected.

It is now day 7. It will last for 48 hours

The night post is going to be a little late today.

When you die and get a new role, we don’t know alignment may be different, yeah? That is, could it be an okay thing to get lynched as mafia?

Are roles assigned randomly as first and second roles? That is, could there be only one mafia in this tribe?

Anyone besides Marmot feel like self voting?
2nd roles are not assigned randomly. They were paired and the players received a pair at random.

As was noted in the second post of the thread, the split of players into tribes was random. There is no guarantee of any particular number or ratio of any alignment in the tribe.
That doesn't seem like a tricksy host answer, but I guess it could be.

There is no trick. I put all your names in a randomiser. The first half went to one beach, the next half to another.

The mood was listless. People were without energy, feeling the impeding inevitability of a colonialbob lynch.

“Make Cerberus Great Again” campaigned sloonei “Vote Marmot 2018”.

There were a few muffled cheers. Also, a handful of snores. The truth was, Cerberus really just didn’t see the point. They’d failed to achieve anything in the previous 5 days – why would today be any different?

Day 6 has ended. colonialbob has been lynched. He was:

13: Charlie Pace (Lost Again: Season 3). At the beginning of the game, it will be announced that you are Charlie Pace and that you will die at the end of day 6. In reality, this is not true. You are Charlie Pace, but your actual role is to curse the person who casts the final vote to lynch you or who nightkills you. If that person is in their 1st role, their vote will count zero and they will be unable to win while they remain in that role. If that person is in their 2nd role, they will be strapped to a bomb vest and will have to complete three tasks by day end to defuse the vest.

It is now night 6. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

Poll is closed. Post coming, stand by.

Everyone was going a little stir crazy on the Cerberus beach. It was day five, and they hadn't been able to get enough votes on anyone to lynch a soul yet.

"Perhaps..." said sloonei - but he was too demoralised to finish the thought.

"Never fear, I'm here!" said Jack. "I'm all for lynching, just follow me." He walked off along the beach.

"Right, now that Jack's gone, what should we do?" asked Spacedaisy. "I'm inclined to..." but she found she couldn't finish the thought either.

"Let's just give in" said LoRab miserably "We'll never be able to make any difference."

Wilgy was walking around with a scalpel and a stethoscope. People were used to his roleplaying by now, so they ignored him.

"How about a game of beach volleyball?" asked Kyle. Everyone cheered! And they went to play.

Day 5 has ended. Long Con has been lynched. He was:

96: Michaelangelo, forger (Phenon). You may choose one player, and have them appear as any affiliation that you wish upon death. You may change the identity of that player at any time other than during the last hour of a phase. You are MAFIA and a member of the EVIL EVENS.

It is now night 5. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

Marmot wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 9:18 pm @Hosts

The lynching of Long Con was barely over when the snow began to fall. Gently at first, but it built stronger, and it wasn't long before a full on blizzard was occurring. No-one could see anyone else, and it was all they could do to huddle in whatever sheltered spot they could find. No-one could explain such an event in Fiji... and they were in Fiji.... weren't they??

No-one has died. It is now day 5, which will last for 48 hours.

"That was a very educational trip for me" said Sloonei, returning from Pikachu beach "and of course, it's no real surprise we sent me. I didn't even have to lobby for it."

"Whose glasses are those?" asked Spacedaisy "I don't remember you having those before."

"They are my DJ glasses" said Sloonei "I'm here to bring all the greatest modern hits." Sloonei put an Abba LP on his turntable.

"But most importantly of all - lets lynch someone. We never do it, it's fun, and I'm sick of no-one ever letting me get my own way unless I don't ask." said Sloonei

"I love Dancing Queen" said Kyle.

But no-one else was listening. They were standing around, fighting amongst themselves. Finally, insertnamehere emerged.

"Sloonei" said inh "we have been talking together, and we agree that.."

*BOOM*

Insertnamehere exploded.

After a short period of time, insertnamehere emerged from the woods.

"Sloonei" said inh "we have been talking together, and we agree that we cannot agree. Let's let Pikachu lynch today."

Day 4 has ended. Long Con has been lynched. He was:

11: Commander Shepard (Mass Effect). Your vote value begins at one, and will be determined based on a karmic system. Each day where you vote for a member of the mafia, the worth of your vote will increase by one. Each day where you vote for a civilian, the worth of your vote will decrease by one. Changes to the worth of your vote will take effect from the following day. Your vote is capped at a maximum of 4 and a minimum of -4. You are unable to evolve.

It is now night 4. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

Kylemii wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 2:58 pm unless that would qualify as info dumping

It absolutely would.

I don't understand the concept of civil juries. I have enough of an issue with criminal juries, and at least they make sense.

Insertnamehere has died. He was:

39: Tina Wesson (Survivor). Each night, you will choose one player to inject with an innoculation to a particular virus. Any player who is given the innoculation will be unable to catch the virus and will be cured if they already have it. You may not target the same player twice.

Carry on.

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 11:08 amI see that you removed the original Day 3 lynch post with DDL's 1st role. Is that role meant to be forgotten or can we talk about it since it was out in the open for a full 3 days?

I don't think you see that. For one thing, seeing that I have removed something is an oxymoron. You wouldn't be able to see that I had removed it. Secondly, and perhaps some would say more importantly, it's still exactly where it always was. You probably made the mistake of forgetting there were two hosts and isoing my posts looking for it...

An unfortunate side-effect of resurrection - sometimes it can be difficult to tell exactly who died.

The hosts have made a rather sizeable error. We thought that Dragon D. Luffy had been killed, but upon further observation it has been clear that he is acting more or less the same as usual. Nutella,
on the other hand - there's definitely something different about her.

As a result, we are reissuing the results of the day three lynch.

Nutella has died. She was:

86: Proton (Elemental) - You have BTSC with Electron. You will be sent a chat link for BTSC and must log in as "Proton". Each night, you will PM one element to the hosts (Air, Earth, Wind or Fire) and one player to be targeted for any effect the element may have. While Electron is in the game, they will also choose one element out of Air, Earth, Wind or Fire. When you and Electron are both in the game, your element choices will combine to form one effect. Your target will get the benefit of any positive effect, while Electrons target will suffer any negative effect. You may not choose the same pair of elements until each pair has been selected. If Electron dies before you, you may not select the same element on consecutive nights. You may not select the same target on consecutive nights. You will not be informed of the effects of your elements.

That was day 3. Then came night 4. It is still day 4.

Dragon D. Luffy has had his first life restored, but to be fair to all he will remain in his second role for both lives. His role will not be revealed upon his first death.

(To be clear, this is not a player ability causing this - it is a genuine host error. There was something we missed at the time, and have identified upon review. As it happened, in the context of this particular setup there was an easily available option to fix the issue.)

It's a bit mean to literally ask someone to infodump.

The hired guns of the Citadel Council met once again in the dark of night. So far, the re-animation technology appeared to be going off without a hitch, although there was something a little bit weird about Ninja's jaw, and every now and then Scotty would yell "FREEDOM" for no particular reason. All in all, though, everyone seemed to be doing ok. It didn't hurt so much that someone had taken out Scotty in the dead of the previous night, although perhaps it was a little worrying that they weren't the only ones without an agenda.

Nevertheless, they had clear instructions from the Council. Continue their work. They chose their next target, and pulled the trigger.

Night 3 has ended. JackofHearts2005 has died. He was:

89: Kramer (Seinfeld). You are persuasive at convincing people to do things they shouldn't be doing. Once each night, you will target a player and force them to publicly vote the way of his choosing the next day.

It is now day 4. It will last for 48 hours. Vote away

The reward is that I can view the thread, not interact with it. I haven't tried to post or asked about it, but I assume the answer would be no.

The answer is no. Viewing privileges only.

A third volunteer guys - failing to provide one will mean a forfeit.

Nice try, but I'm not going to go around confirming or denying whether any particular post is infodumping.

People may speculate or assume, but it would be infodumping to outright confirm that any particular effect in the game was caused by your role, even if you have died and your former role is known publicly.

MacDougall was hunched in a corner, musing to himself about how best to put his plans into actions. His acolytes were waiting for instruction.

"Those fools" said MacDougall "They actually believe the Citadel Council put MacGoogle into the system. And did they really think I would be hired to be a train engineer? This lot are so naive. They couldn't even tell that I'd faked my own death.

But we have a problem. The Citadel Council have clearly got plants, people in the system who are doing their bidding. It's getting in the way of my plans for world dominance. Or at least, for dominance of the Syndicate once and for all. I see no other option, devotees. It's time to be ruthless."

"We know what we must do." said an acolyte. They stood up and departed.

Night 2 has ended. Scotty has been killed. He was:

Infinity: The Reapers (Mass Effect). You are only here to influence the minds of all sentient beings and then reap their souls. You can insanify a player of your choice each night.

It is now day 3. It will last for 48 hours.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:35 am I have dancing queen stuck in my head. Help.

Anybody could be that guy, Wilgy.

"I am Sloonei! Come to Sloonei. Don't vote for Sloonei. What do you think about Sloonei? Have you seen Sloonei lately? Vote for Sloonei. Sloonei Sloonei Sloonei!" said Sloonei to a passing tree.

"Looks like he found the weed." said Jack "Don't worry, though, I'm over my PTSD and I'm here to party."

"Playing clothes-man hard to read" sang inh.

Marmot was looking at his reflection in the remains of the train carriage. "Looking good" he said, thinking about exactly how he could tailor his facial hair with tools only found on the beach. Hermit crabs? Seaweed? That weird foam that stays on the beach after high tide?

"I have an idea" said Daisy "if we all spread out, that Citadel Council won't be able to get to any of us. We'll be too hard to hit."

"That's a terrible idea" said DrWilgy "if we all huddle together, they'll be exposed. They'd never risk an attack in such circumstances."

"I'd like to fork my pleasure to zap his fierce style" sang inh.

The argument continued. No-one could agree how to protect the group. No-one could agree who had attacked ninja to begin with. In the end, they all gave up.

"Let's build a bowling alley" said sig.

Day 2 has ended. Speedchuck has been shot by a crossbow (lynched). He was:

71: Levi Strauss (Felt 2). Each night, you will choose one player to protect from all nightkills. You may not target the same player two nights in a row.

It is now night 2. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in

Hi all

The lynch post WILL be late today. Regardless, night will officially begin from the moment the poll ends.
