The Syndicate

Time's up. If Rabbit wants to play he will be a replacement.

Also you have 12 hours to decide.

Any text allowed at all?

No need for mass posting. Standard mafia rules here, just post once a day and I won't bother you. Posting more or not is up to you and how much effort you want to make.

Text is not allowed though I'll open an exception for OT posts. And there is the cheat button (images with text).

Well if you say it's okay it's okay, but I will treat each case as an exception.

No need to make drama here. I'm just being cautious.

When the game starts I'll make it clear what it okay and what is not.

I'm not confortable with posting RL photos of people other than me, that's what I mean.

This is a forum, not Facebook. Everybody here has some right to anonimity.

oh yea, I got ya. I was just messing around with Rico for his because he is picky so I thought his own photo catroonized wouldn't leave room for appeal .

I don't have to be halle berry if it makes people uncomfortable tho.

It's cool, I wasn't talking about the Halle Berry thing. You are not halle berry.

But like, imagine if someone decides to post a RL pic of you that you showed them on Discord chat to refer to you during the game.

It's creepy.

Actually I might make it a rule because the potential for ugliness is extreme.

Don't post real life pictures of players uness given explicit permission by them.

Well, it's a glossary. You guys are free to use whatever.

Something that players can recognize even if they haven't seen a pic of the person.

Also RL pics make me unconfortable.

I'll put a corresponding picture for everyone in a glossary.

If anyone is bothered by my choice of picture, they will be free to ask me to put something else there.

It will often be something silly and obvious though (like a pot of Nutella).

Ricochet wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 2:35 pm I would prefer if you would use a different picture, by a different member (or yourself), in my case. Please and thank you.

Okay.

G-Man already provided me with two pictures to represent players in my picture glossary.

Though I was planning to use the photo of a dune instead.

For the record I haven't sent any roles yet.

One more day. I'm locking sign ups as soon as I wake up tomorrow and sending the roles. The game will then start at night.

juliets don't worry about the meme thing. You may have noticed I even removed the word "meme" from the first page. The point here is whether you can convey your thoughts with images. Being funny is just a bonus.

Understandable. I'm looking forward to seeing you in a game here some other time.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 6:40 pm rabbit8 - care to join us in some imagery? need 2 more to play!

Poll says 3...

This game shall be the resistance in the middle of the army of Jay games.

cynthiamask wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:07 am Thanks for the invite.

So if it's a 24 phase game does that mean it takes ~24 days or longer? i have an unusual job right now where i can't do much else while i'm working, so i'm just wondering if i'll have the time. Cheers

No, it means each day phase takes 24 hours. You can usually play a game like this by coming online 1-3 hours a day, depending on your playstyle.

The actual duration of the game should something close to 2 weeks. Maybe 3 depending on how it goes.

If you are going to play, please vote in the poll.

I'll start the game in 5 days. If I can get 20 players by then, awesome. If not, it's good enough and I will adapt the setup.

So people who are not sure about it, now is the time.

I think you said you might be available around this time. The game is about to start in a few days. If you wanna sign up, it's now or never.

Hey juliets

In case you are feeling good enough to play, have a reminder that this is still open.

[mention]lapluie[/mention]
[mention]Marmot[/mention]
[mention]MacDougall[/mention]

I noticed all of you are dead at FE. Play this one now, maybe?

[mention]Roxy[/mention] you voted for the mod option.

5 more and I'll consider I have enough players to start. Keep coming, people!

No problem, juliets. Hope you have a good surgery.

4 maybes.

Come on people if you are interested come and play it. I promise the game won't bite you.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 10:42 pm Jeez this sounds fun but challenging as hell.

Why did you vote the mod option?

10 in. 10 more to go!

I'm not the one posting them myself.

Children please.

There is always more room for cat pics.

With the pacing this is taking to fill it might start by the time you are ending your breaks tbh.

juliets wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:55 pm

Is there a way to make this not so big?

My favorite is to upload it on imgur (which is already good for ensuring your image won't randomly disappear) and then use its resize feature which is pretty simple.

Picresize is also a good site that has more features, but you have to take it to somewhere else afterwards (i. e. imgur) since it doesn't store the image for more than a few minutes.

I also may reduce the player size a little if necessary. Though I don't want to host with less than 15 players.

Ok so I reworked the text explaining the game. Abolished the use of the word "meme" altogether since it was confusing some people (though it's still the same thing). Also increased the limits of Text Images a day from 3/4 to 5/7.

If anyone thinks the game looks scary or difficult and thinks they would sign up if it was improved in some way, I'm open for suggestions.

Well that is basically impossible to predict.

Either way, have a good rest bro.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 1:07 am I died everywhere so I will be playing this game. I'll be playing from mobile as always but I have unlimited data so whatever

how do you make a meme? is there a website?

When the game starts I'm going to provide you with useful websites, as well as sample images representing each player and some common mafia words.

dunya wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 9:07 am I think GIFs need a category too, DDL.

Gifs go into general images.

As long as you don't plaster game relevant text into it.

[mention]G-Man[/mention] the whole idea came from you I'd be honored to see you in it.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Syndicate, welcome to my first Speed game, the long awaited


The game of mafia where every post must be an image.

The idea behind the game is that you have to convey your thoughts using only images. I. e. using the picture of a dragon followed by the picture of Don Corleone to say DDL is bad. Creativity is the norm here. Smileys and animated gifs are also fair game.

Example:

I will provide you with sample images containing images related to each player and most common mafia words. You are expected to use your creativity for the rest, though.

However, I'm also going to give you a CHEAT BUTTON. Every player will be allowed to, 5 times per day/night cycle, post an image with text added to it (called "Text Image").Each Text Image can have up to 30 words. You will be awarded another 2 uses if you participate in a mafia/serial killer lynch in the previous day.

Example:

Naturally, I will also provide you with sites that can generate images with text or host them so you don't have to look for them.

NOTE: This game assumes every player can post and read images. This means you will not play most of it on phone, or you are skilled enough with a phone that you can copy and paste images in it with ease. Additionally, expect it to be heavier than most games in data consumption.

Finally, here are the details about the game:

- 15-20 players.
- 24/24 phases.
- Open setup.
- Role claiming and info dumping allowed.
- Players win or lose with their entire faction.
- Vote changing allowed.
- Double targetting banned.
- Night killed roles are shown, unless the mafia janitor interferes.

Setup:

CIVILIANS
1 cop
1 doctor
1 vigilante (2-shot)
1 roleblocker
9 vanilla civilians

MAFIA
1 godfather (appears as civ on investigations)
1 mafia roleblocker
1 janitor (players killed by it have their roles hidden and only the mafia knows it)
1 mafia goon

INDEPENDENT
1 serial killer (1-shot bulletproof)
