The Syndicate

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.

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...

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).

When the poll locks, the votes are locked. The poll is auto-set to lock at X:22.

This is the way.

Hello all,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot get the game up and running tonight. I will send roles out tomorrow and Day 0 should begin around 9:00 p.m. EST.

Glad to see us reach 15- I'll have to re-randomize my roles now!

Looks like I will give this game until Wednesday night this week to pick up any additional players. We'll start hopefully Friday evening (EST).

I forgot to work up the rest of my subs for this. I'm sorry.

Hey cool. We've got 12. Not sure if 3v9 is unfair in a Mountainous format. If we could get one or two more folks to sign up, it should guarantee some equitable balance and we can get started.

We didn't really binge it, but my wife and I just finished season 1 of The Mandalorian. The first half of the season was okay but slow. The second half of the season was interesting at least.

I don't see why it was hyped up as much as it was.
