The Syndicate

Hello.

Great to see some familiar names. Looking forward to some mafia action and hosting the Gladiatorial arena.

Epi = "toward"
Gnosis = "knowledge"

Also, I do this a lot.

And this.

It's a game I designed (and am still designing) that makes you a ruthless, money-grubbing person with no regard for human life. You buy warriors, buy equipment, and send them to fight other players' warriors. The game is tied to your schedule- no hurries, no worries.

S~V~S wrote:And the other people you are playing are the same? Kinda like an all baddie Mafia game?

Matches are usually one on one. It's your warrior against another member's warrior. Winner gets gold and experience. Loser just gets experience...if he lives.

I use dice and/or random number generators to determine hits and misses. I never play- I just run the game.

Once I sort out a few things, I'll post the rules and create the various "places" where the action happens.

I THINK I'M GOING BALD

I'm actually going gray, but I'm on "Lakeside Park" now, thanks.

And while you're at it- DRAW ANOTHER GOBLET FROM THE CASK OF 43.

I feel so good right now.

I like you too.

I know I'm biased, but I love the PA ones:

There are others.

Lovely to have you. Welcome!

Welcome Metalmarhs89!

You should see a doctor.

Both these career paths are evidence that I am a very practical person who likes to spend great gobs of my life pursuing super practical real world things that are going to make me very very rich and allow me to buy a McMansion in the suburbs and a designer dog.

So you are "working" to be a doctor who can't help with maple-syrup heart malfunctions. I see.

Canucklehead wrote:> I like pickles

I have a whole JAR of pickles you can have for a fraction of your McMansion.

Canucklehead wrote:> I currently live in a bizarro land called "the American South" where no one likes hockey and they make you pay to go to the doctor and dill pickle chips have only recently become a thing. Whaaaaaaaaa?? Where the hell am I?

People are more interested in their local hockey teams.

Canadians pay to go to their physicians, just like everybody else in the entire world. But you're training to be a doctor who studies poetry, so I can see why nobody wants to pay for healthcare in Canada.

Dill pickle chips have been around here as long as I can remember.

Would you like a glass of sweet tea. sug?

Canucklehead wrote:> I do a mean Liza Minelli impression

Canucklehead wrote:> I am a non-evangelical vegan

That makes sense, really, since the good news involves bacon.

Canucklehead wrote:> I don't really remember how to play mafia.

You'll probably win then. A lot of people here sign up but don't "play mafia."

Canucklehead wrote:So, hi!

Hello.

Playing in person is pretty scary because you need to be really convincing, but it's always lots of fun too. I heard these games can go on for weeks or months, is that true? I'm used to games that last maybe 30 minutes at most so I'm curious to see what the dynamic here is. I guess someone doesn't have to die every single night?

Hello Dana. Welcome to The Syndicate. I agree with you that real life games are more intense, but I will say that the breed of players on this site will ensure that the intensity factor is not diminished much.

As for timing, that depends on the game:

A "Full game" has 48 hour Day phases (for discussion and voting) and 24 hour Night phases (for Night actions and kills).

A "Speed game" has 24 hour Day phases and 24 hour Night phases.

Thus, the typical time for a Full game is a month to two months, while a Speed game lasts a couple of weeks.

What online games have over real life games is BTSC. In real life, you merely know your accomplices (if you are bad). In online games, you are afforded time to plot and communicate. It's very fun, and we are home to a host (no pun intended) of Hosts who are highly creative and eager to please their players.

Let me know if you have further questions.

I wish there was a sort of "Beginners' Guide to Hosting on the Syndicate" for people to refer to. That would be really nice.

Oh shut up.

Logan was just teasing me about my hesitation to post my new guide regarding hosting.

They aren't spambots , they're friends of mine! I got them both to sign up for Roxy's Donner Party game.

Friends of Alex...spambots...

six of one, half dozen of other...

XthAtGAm3RGuYX wrote:Greetings. You may have noticed by this terrible user name that I am new here. Decided to sign up after talking to Moving Pictures and Juliets in the GoC spectator Skype group. I come from Shoryuken and Jesus Toast Mafia. We had participants in both seasons of mafia champions. In season 1 we sent Missing Person and Synonym, in season 2 we've sent Alpha who is in the currently running second game.

I am currently playing my 6th game over on JTM, but I learned quick to swing the best, or at least I like to think so. Chief may tell you otherwise. When it comes to mafia, it's not uncommon for me to emphasis and accent posts with Ace Attorney gifs, mostly due to my undying love for the series, their perfect fit for mafia arguments, and the fact that I may or may not have landed the Von Karma role in a certain Ace Attorney themed game. I only use sprites for 3 characters though, and all of them represent something about the context of which I am currently posting or feeling at that time.

Hope you like Ace Attorney as much as I do. For the record, outside of LiveMafia, I have never been lynched, and every time somebody reads me as mafia, they have been wrong.

Also I have a mouth on me that would make both a Sailor and a Pirate hug each other in fear. I'll take it easy since I'm just getting here after all. Anything you want to know, just ask.

EDIT: Oh yeah, people like to call me TGG for short. You're welcome.

I take it you would be interested in playing my Mortal Kombat Mafia and Street Fighter Mafia, then?

Only if I get to be Mileena and Juri.

I'll settle for Ermac and Gouken. Gouken got dat old man flex!
Spoiler: show
I'm fucking with you, I'll play regardless
Do spoilers work here?

EDIT: Awww they dont work after all. PROFOUND SADNESS

"Gouken?"

Who the fuck is that?

I know who he is. I'm just busting your balls.

I'm the kid who spent his lawnmower money in the arcade to kick teenage asses in the original SF II at the arcade.

I had a feeling since you didn't ask me who Juri is too lol. Since she is newer than Gouken is because he was in vanilla.

I was born in 94. Never got to experience arcades.

Yeah, Juri would be a mystery to me.

I like you, and I like your style. Just because you were born eleven years after me doesn't bother me at all. Glad to have you friend. I'm looking forward to playing Mafia with you.

I'm a mod here, so if you have any questions or need assistance, let me know.

Juri is my main. That just hurt my soul. Unless you're screwing with me again lol.

I probably wont have any questions really. But dont be surprised if you have to tell me to dial back a bit. I'm used to being in a pretty free forum environment. I don't start drama but I tend to have a short fuse when people come at me with a bit too much hostility in their posts.

Also, what I didn't get in Arcade experience, I did get through use of that fancy schmancy online gaming experience

EDIT: Wow the forum fucking devoured that image

I have not played SF IV. I'm old.

Anyway, I think you're not using tags properly. Did I fix it?

XthAtGAm3RGuYX wrote:Nope. For some reason the right side of that picture disappears. I just reduced it to the link instead.

The picture is larger than one's screen width. You can use Paint to lessen the size of images.

I hail from the far-far away forums of CPI and im in search of some mafia to which is well, more on the active side of things.

This whole setup looks hella, so im excited

You look...spritly.

I welcome you.

sprityo wrote:okay so question:

I've been reading over the latest games on the forum and i keep seeing some differences from my norm.

How do night phases work?

Normally, you may post at Night.

During Night, you submit a Night action, if you have one.

That's mostly it!

Do they play doctor?

Hello there Goldy. I am Golden. We can be buddies if you like, but man are we going to confuse people when we play the same mafia game

I'm sure only one of you is a coward.

So...what you're saying is...you have the hots for tin man. Noted.

i think it was MP who linked me to sign up a few years back through our RYM mafia gaming period where there was going to be a game between two sites (I didn't join, RL issues prevented me unfortunately).

was chatting with jay a few weeks ago (love him, old friend) and got talking about mafia somehow and how I missed playing with him so he said HEY there's a SF game that's about to start so...here I am. Was really nice to see Sloonei here too, who is also an old friend.

Noticed that everyone's nice which is new for me when venturing into a new online community, more so in a competition. Where are all the snarky meanspirited snobs

We're hosting.

I really, really miss Flyin' High. Somebody bring her back to us.

I'm PTB. I started playing SC2 Mafia online in 2010/11. I played too many games to count to be honest. I got into forum style mafia about 2 years ago. I've quickly grasped the concept of how forum mafia works. I played on another site, but I am in search of a new place to call home. The site I originally come from is limited in players and forum capabilities. So I am excited to see the larger world that is forum mafia.

Thanks!

Welcome. People will tell you I'm mean. Don't listen to them.

Damn dude, I was just thinking about you the other day.

So I hail from the site that Dizzy is from PerC (personalitycafe), but I've played on a number of sites/platforms including: DailyMafia, Super Mafia All Stars, MU, NF, DLP, themilleniumforums, VS, bulbagarden, mindromp, epicmafia, and ToS.

Pleased to meet you guys. *waves and wonders if anyone will say hi back*

Much better than an owner of a broken heart.

How much do you like Yes?

If I say, "Siberian Khatru," does that mean anything to you?
