The Syndicate

Really really sorry about this, but I actually have to /out in the last moment. Past IRL week/weekend (honestly, my semester in general) has made me realize I need to seek comprehensive help on something I've been avoiding help on for in recent years, so I need to focus on that without the stress (or procrastination) of a big game. Even if that game would be very fun. I don't want to leave on a negative note so....good luck to everyone, and I hope you all have fun! And thanks JJJ for...uh...being cool and hosting for all these people I guess.

I first heard about the show in reference to it supposedly using The Stanley Parable as a source of inspiration/influence. I asked my father about it and he didn't seem to agree / like the show. But, perhaps I'll give the show a binge watch before the game begins. IRL I am basically compulsively self-reflective, so the point here about introspection intrigues me.

I didn't expect this to fill so quick (it currently is at the minimum of 16 after only a week in signups), if the game is going to start soon then I would greatly appreciate it starting on the 13th or after if at all possible. I could work with it being sooner, but I expect my participation to be quite low on average till then.

If its not going to start that soon, maybe we should have a specific start date listed since the player-count seems variable outside of the minimum?
