The game is full. I am unable to start it before this weekend, however.
Look for rolecards to go out Saturday afternoon (EST), and for Day 1 to start on Sunday. Thanks for signing up, and good luck.

Now we’re at 15. The mountainado setup calls for 14. I doubt the world will end if I run it at 15, but I don’t know what it could to the balance of the game.

That's new

It's actually quite old! they don't get used often anymore, and dead/non-players are obviously prohibited from saying anything that would affect the game in any way. Usually just reserved for dead people to say bye, or folks who aren't playing to chime in on OT chatter.

The Syndicate started out as a very small and close-knit community, so things like that were common.

mansnicks wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:59 pm Just quick questions:
How do you ISO and how do you Vote on this site?

The official vote tally will be in the poll, same as the signup poll in this thread. But it's also customary for players to call their votes in-thread with [VOTE: tags] aubergine.

ISO links will be provided on the front page of the game thread, but you can access them yourself by clicking the number next to "Posts In Topic" on the left side of your screen. That links directly to a player's ISO, though they're currently displaying in reverse order for some reason.

Off-topic green for when players are talking about things that aren't related to the game.

Also we've got 1 spot left. Who wants to be the last bee in the hive?

I see you disabled Majority Lynch for until after the D3 shot. I was wondering what'd happen on D3 regarding votes...


@MartinGG99
Come play with your friend Ozy.
And don't tell Mike that I'm playing FM.

Glad you could make it!
Days 1-3 would be standard plurality voting. Anything after that would be hammer time.

we certainly don't want any disintegrating bees.

also we're back down to 13, so we'll still need 1 more player to run this setup.

I'll still play it but it would be cool if we could have a 2/3 hammer at least

I'd be open to hammers post-Day 3. Want to let the game play out as normal up until the shot.

If we have exactly 14 players, there is a new setup I'd like to try out, but it is kind of unorthodox and I would want to run it by all the players first. I don't want to force anyone to play a game they're not interested in.

The setup in question is called Mountainado, I think. It was floated as a possible idea for the Season 8 champs setup in MU's discussion thread. It doesn't look like it'll be picked for the tournament setup, but I thought it was a very interesting game idea and have an itch to run it now.

The setup is this:

11 vanilla town
3 mafia.

On Night 2, the mafia team selects a town player to receive a 1-shot daykill ability. Must be a different player than their nightkill target. The player selected by the Mafia team must use their daykill on Day 3. Full claiming is allowed, and all actions are compulsory.
What are your thoughts on playing this setup?

if this ideia is not favored, i'll be using the Heist matrix. and of course, if we get 15 players then i won't run this setup either, as it is designed for 14.

Welcome Ratrug! Are you joining us from another Mafia community?

Yes, I prefer not to say which though

Welcome! Be sure to vote in the poll to confirm your participation.

i'm just waiting for my own schedule. This week is a bit busy for me. I may send roles out Saturday afternoon and start the game Sunday. Signups will remain open til then, but we can run it with 13 players.

13 happy little bees. Can we find 2 more to make this a full hive?

I'm unclear if @Quin intended to signup or not. @fingersplints should also sign up to help keep the bees safe.

It also dawns on me that spring is just around the corner, so what better time to get this game up and running! I am hoping to be able to start this fairly soon.

I voted yes last night

did i just skip over your name a half dozen times?

I look in the poll and I see no quin.

Bees are not nocturnal.

I want to!!!! It depends when this game starts, I'm going camping for a week at the end of March, and that's a lot of game time to miss.

No idea when this game will start. Obviously not any time in the immediate future. I'm gonna let a couple of the current games run their course first. As we get closer to a potential start date, I'll listen to feedback from the players on when to run this.

It will be a game with some non-vanilla roles, but nothing wacky or out of the ordinary. I might use the matrix.

No, unless there is overwhelming demand from the folks who sign up.

Are you thinking matrix or something new and Slooneian?

Bees!

Someone let me know if that color is unreadable on light theme. I'll change it if so.
