The Syndicate

very cool reading some intros here and some history of this place.

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

[mention]Epignosis[/mention] hahaha added you to my Persons to Avoid list

[mention]Ricochet[/mention] hi! I'm Dunia. Nice to meet you!

One of the things I love about the people here is that the community is as important to us as the game itself. I had some of these people at my wedding, heck I had some of them IN my wedding! There are some awesome people here, and the people who have joined us here from RYM are no exception to that. So welcome!

please tell me you and MP met through a mafia game

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!

Hey PTB! Really excited to play with you one day soon. I didn't get a chance in the speed game on sc2 (I was ilovepickles in the first game).

happy birthday [mention]PowersThatBe[/mention] !

are you as competitive as your husband, [mention]Lunalee[/mention]?

Somehow I have basically missed your Syndicate run so far more or less entirely!

You're just living up to your title. People cower away when they see me sign up to games.

Welcome to the Mafia Syndicate, [mention]Avito[/mention]! Nice to see you here. Looking forward to playing some mafia with you. We have 3 games in signups right now, don't be shy to sign up!

Say what?!?!? I don't know about that. I just happened to talk JJJ out of his scum read on me in our first game together. I'm not sure if I'll be that lucky again.

I have a crush on you already.

Now I dont have to play that game anymore!

There is a god...

Wow my advances have never been rejected before. This is a new feeling. Brb, digging a grave to bury myself in.

Not all the time I mean but yeah we went "wow it would be great if Owner came to the Syndicate" one or two times.

I just realized I'm sounding creepy, sorry.

Yea man, you need that hole I dug more than me.

Hehehe. We're a goofy bunch. It's great to have you here!

how cool, I've never played video format mafia. so it's like live mafia, but we do it through webcams?

Nice to see ya around these parts!

There's some games in signups already if you want to take a peek.

Hello, and thank you! I'm not allowed to talk about why I came here in detail right now, but I'll do that when [redacted] is over. Anyway, I've played some forum games on Mafia Universe, but mostly i've played loads of mafia IRL at conventions and such since a couple of years back. How this community handles roles and such is different from what I'm used to but I'll see what I think about it once i try it out ^^.

I've read around a little, for example the "introduction to mafia" post. I understand that normally it's not allowed to claim things regarding your own role/results (unless the host says it is).
But is it allowed to generally speculate about role actions that's happend previous nights, or openly discuss what a specific role should do during coming nights to be most effective, as long as no one claims or hints at their own results/role? I just want to get a feel for where the lines are drawn so i don't make something prohibited in my first game, but also don't let any opportunities go to waste ^^.

dunya

How cool is that! Unlike you, I've never played mafia in real life yet (simply haven't met the right people, I guess!). I first started playing forum mafia around 2011? I think. I don't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday tbh. Loofah brain.

We have different setups here, closed and open setups, and claiming is either allowed or not allowed by the host of the game. Each game will have its own set of rules posted at the beginning of the game and players are encouraged to read through for new rules or special game mechanics. I don't think I've yet played 2 games with identical setups here yet which keeps things refreshing and fun! I was also a bit confused by the open setups that most hosts prefer here (and as such don't allow claiming), and wondered how anyone will be able to solve anything. I started playing on another website and there weren't all that many open setups to my knowledge. but it works... and yes, of course you can speculate as much as you want about role actions / night actions / and what you think specific roles should do (though you should be careful there because scum can also read the suggestions sometimes ).

I'm really excited to see you play and maybe play with you soon! Do you do better with a town or scum role?

hey [mention]Fractal[/mention] -

if you want to dip your toes into a classic game of mafia with vanilla / scum and only 3 power roles - FRIENDS themed mafia is about to start soon. It's a sock-puppet game where you would be given another account to post from and no one is supposed to reveal who they are until they flip in the game. I believe the host will run this game at 24/24 cycles.

there's also another game with an open setup you can read about: Courage the Cowardly Dog themed. It has more game mechanics than the game above and more power roles and shenanigans that can happen. This one will not be a sockpuppet game but will also be fast paced, 24/24 cycles.

ohhh I got linki'd by juliets.

I recently joined because my "home" forum is becoming inactive, and I need a new mafia outlet. I'm super geeky about mafia, and my favorite part is making/hosting games.

Welcome! I feel like we've played a game together or I played your game on NF...

[mention]Shizune[/mention], I have been on a mafia-hiatus, but since it's you...I'll sign up to the first game you sign up to!

and yea, [mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention], [mention]novaselinenever[/mention], [mention]Owner of a Lonely Heart[/mention], [mention]Dr. White[/mention], [mention]Avito[/mention] (mojito) are here too. And Waffles but I forgot his username on here. I may be missing more.

Hello there, sabie12

Sorry to hear about your surgery, that sounds terrifying, but I'm so pleased it went well and you're back. There are two games currently in signups so definitely check those out! See you around.

welcome to the syndicate, [mention]AudreyTheTattletail[/mention]! <3 so so good to have you here.

I got told I can learn alot here and become a better player, so let me share the pleasure^^

I am certain there's much to be learned from you as well. My favorite thing about this community is how many different styles of play can all be found under the same roof and in one game. I love that.

Welcome to the Syndicate, [mention]Oreki[/mention]! Nice to have you on board.

big welcome to all the new faces! hope to see you around

you all have no idea how excited i am to have [mention]MrMungbean[/mention] here. we need to get the old gang back together.
