The Syndicate

Visions of Day 1’s of old are running through my mind. I’m not inclined to just let it go in the undisciplined manner of yesteryear. I need more meat to chew on from everyone first. I’m thankful that my night away coincided with Night 0 instead of the first half of Day 1. That being said, I actuall...

Vivacious posting today, it seems. Too bad I no longer play mafia while at work. Might as well re-read the whole thread while I paint pumpkins and catch up on the bills. I’ll offer what kernels I can, but I’m just as useless on Day 1 as I’ve always been. Civvies don’t paint pumpkins, they carve the...

I have an idea of who the mafia is, but it's not who I'm voting at the moment. Though, the person I'm voting may also be mafia, who knows. I do not like this post, nor do I like the vote for Bea. Mind you, I think voting for Bea in general is reasonable because people always tend to trust her, whic...

Vagrant doctor, why for art hast thou lickest me? Dost thy tongue perceive me in a particular manner?

That being said, I actually think sig coming out and throwing caution to the wind with regards to his spelling and grammar is townie, if not reckless. Could be WIFOM, but that role is incredibly restrictive to my *vibe* which comes with autocorrect errors and incomplete sentences. So I get it. The ...

I figured these sign-ups would be slow to gain traction because of the anniversary games, and that’s ok. We’ve got five signed up, so I owe you all another flavor post in the next few days.

Verdammten broken tags!

Vanishing off to Disney on Ice soon, so I’m checking in while my family eats lunch (haha, suckers). [quote=G-Man post_id=965798 time=<a href="tel:1666496882">1666496882</a> user_id=383] Very good to see the Oceania contingent checking in. @Quin- Your post about Sloonei reminded me of your ...

Very good to see the Oceania contingent checking in. Quin - Your post about Sloonei reminded me of your epic performance in Mad Max all those years ago. For a second I misremembered that you and Sloonei dueled it out in grand fashion, but then I recalled that it was you and Dom (why isn't he in this...

Verily, I say unto thee, my brothers and sister- this game looks awesome. Let's have some fun! :) PS- Could the hosts include the player list in the OP or somewhere? I'd like to start setting up my spreadsheet... old-school style! ;) Vastly disappointed with myself. EBWOP- Verily, I say unto thee, ...

Fair warning now ahead of role pm send-outs that my availability on Sunday will be effectively null. We're surprising the girls with a long-awaited trip to see Disney On Ice. We bought tickets for it as part of their Christmas presents in 2019. We were supposed to go in early April of 2020. :doh: Wh...

Wait this isn't google Once upon a time, when we used pm for btsc on lostpedia, I definitely posted in a thread (I believe it was the shoe thread) instead of messaging my team. Grateful the host (Tokyo rose, I think) deleted it immediately for me. Wait this isn't google Once upon a time, when we us...

Shoot, most of this player list takes me back to the days when I only had one kid. Some of those names even take me back to the before-kids days. A select few even take me back to the pre-marriage era.

Chills.

Gimme that classical sauce.

Does prohibiting info-dumping and role-claiming do anything to aid the balancing calculus. The way you all are talking makes me inclined to prohibit both. I can see your points from a pure theory perspective, but the practice of mafia always differs from theory because people make irrational decisi...

Yeah, it’s a bit townsided. Though I feel like town has been slacking in the win column of late in general the past few years :shrug: This, the plus baddies have won roughly 2/3 of my games historically despite what I thought were civvie friendly setups. Town has found ways to pull defeat from the ...

LAWYERS, GUNS AND MONEY A G-Man Game Robert bolted across the room. He tried his best to express gratitude to the shopkeeper for allowing him to use the telephone. He picked up the receiver and massaged his temples with his left hand. He had to remember that number. What was it again? In a flash, i...

Four school days into the new school year and my wife has Covid again. This is the third time she's caught it.

So I'm new around these parts and I'm worried I might get sucked into this world of mafia. Advice please: 1) How do you do this with three kids? Should I parent or mafia? 2) How do you do this when you're a manager? Should I work or mafia? 3) How do you do this and not post 100 times? 4) How do you...

Oh, why the heck not.

In if I can picture-post

Die Hard (1988) I've seen it several times edited for television, but this was the first time I have watched it uncensored. My wife had never seen it before, and she begrudgingly admits that it does count as a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis is great as an everyman action hero. There's a fair number ...

The Bounty Hunter (2010) Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston have very little chemistry. They also play two pretty rotten people, and yet we're supposed to root for them? Nah. The plot and storyline could be done very well in the hands of a different director and with a different cast so there's pot...

Details coming soon, so get ready because it's gonna be all that and a bag of chips.

Thanks for hosting @G-Man. The flavor was ominous and fascinating. Thanks, but the flavor isn't completely original... 1) This game was inspired by the real-life mysterious demise of a group of Soviet trekkers in the Ural Mountains back in 1959. Check out the Dyatlov Pass Incident for a real chilli...

So as with just about all of my games, I have a few fun tidbits to share with you: 1) This game was inspired by the real-life mysterious demise of a group of Soviet trekkers in the Ural Mountains back in 1959. Check out the Dyatlov Pass Incident for a real chilling read! 2) I used real locations in...

CASE FILE: The Halvøsen Ridge Incident- The Tragedy Concludes From the Original Investigation File (translated): The bodies of Egner and Austad were found huddled together. Autopsies confirm they were the last to die, sometime between 05:30 and 06:30 [a.m.] on April 10. Their pairing suggests an at...

Then there is no death.

CASE FILE: The Halvøsen Ridge Incident- The Final Hours (ctd) From the Original Investigation File (translated): Didrik Bohler’s body was located less than halfway up the ridge from the emergency encampment.

CASE FILE: The Halvøsen Ridge Incident- The Final Hours Contemporary Notes : As late stage hypothermia began to set in, time must have seemed to slow down for the remaining members of the Halvøsen party.

Nope and nope.

NOTE FROM THE HOST: The night post is almost certain to be late tonight. I have an executive council meeting this evening, and they tend to run long. We will start the day as early as possible once I get home from the meeting. Alison Boquise Creature fingersplints lucy RondoDimBuckle

CASE FILE: The Halvøsen Ridge Incident- Losing Time (ctd) From the Original Investigation File (translated): The elements continued to weaken the members of the expedition as they waited for their compatriots to return.

Also, I want to point out that the last option in the elimination poll is only to be used by dead players, the host, the game mods, and non-players watching the game. It is NOT to be used by players as a placeholder vote slot or as a way to avoid voting for any other real option in the elimination ...

CASE FILE: The Halvøsen Ridge Incident- Losing Time Contemporary Notes : After Gunnar Kleppel left to (as I suspect) retrieve warm clothes and inspect the camp site for safety, more time passed. In this time, evidence suggests that remaining Tent 2 members of the Halvøsen party continued to attempt...

NOTE FROM THE HOST: Once again, I can't guarantee that I will be around at the end of the elimination poll. I will be traveling with my family this morning and through the afternoon. There is a modest chance that we won't get back from our trip until late tonight, which may conflict with the EOD pr...

Thank you all for respecting the announced start time for the thread being locked (give or take a few minutes).
