Haha well I'm sure MP wouldn't be pleased, but yep, if it comes down to it I already have experience with the setup so I don't need to have any Championship Immunity from the first vote.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Ok, in the space of 24 hours, we've jumped from 1 to 4 official Championship competitors?

Damn this game is filling up fast.

Marco has yet to sign up, so 3. And that's the case only if Zexy and IAWY win their nominations.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I see InaWordYes isn't officially in yet. Does that mean we can lynch you on Day 1?

Looks like he voted in the poll to me. What's your angle, marmot?

Hey guys. Signing up. Some practice would be awesome.

Welcome aboard Marco. If you have any questions about the site just ask.

Welcome, Marco!!

This is awesome.

Oh, I meant he's not officially in the Mafia Championships, as he mentioned in this thread somewhere. :P

He is most definitely in this game, as much as DrWilgy is most definitely a doctor.

Pssst, don't forget to vote in the poll (like I did yesterday).

We need 5 more players posthaste.

Do it.

Unless my phone is glitching, the poll appears to be locked.

It seems to me that you simply can't change your vote once it's cast.

Votes should be changeable now.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to an awesome game (presuming we get enough sign ups fast).

Done and done.

I suppose I should mention that I've invited someone I know who also will be playing in the Championship. He's already registered and should be around shortly.

Thanks again for inviting me! This should be fun^^

I would like to sign up, please!

I like your brain.

Also, I want to ask if there is any way to multiquote on this site? I may be blind, dumb or both, but I can't immediately find one.

Also also, are you allowed to delete content from a quote you are replying to (as a way of making it clearer exactly what you are replying to)?

And I think I forgot to say hi, so hi everyone! *polite, but slightly awkward gestures in the air*

Now to figure out how to post gifs here. Most important.



Success! My body is ready!

There isn't yet a multi-quote button on the site, though the admins have hinted at it being something they hope to add soon. You can still multi-quote manually though by having a couple tabs open and copy/pasting from the thread or an ISO.

Dyslexicon wrote:Also also, are you allowed to delete content from a quote you are replying to (as a way of making it clearer exactly what you are replying to)?

You can snip quotes however you like. It's also common to use a "highlighter" within a quote to focus upon something specific (my personal preference is to color the selected text yellow and bold it). There is the possibility that people might complain about lost context due to quote snipping, so it's up to you to decide how you want to do it.

And welcome, Dyslexicon! It's great to have you on The Syndicate and in our scrimmage. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Only three more slots to fill, two if Sloonei meant to change his "maybe" to a "yes".

First, "Psi" is the most awesome way to shorten that name. Second, I clip irrelevant content out of quotes all the time. I don't like posting huge quotes. If your conscience hurts for it, then just put a little *snip* or something where the content was.

Second, you can also multi-quote the most recent quotes.

Below the Submit button when posting, below the Options tab, you see peoples' posts, under "TOPIC REVIEW: <<topic title>>". Clicking 'Quote' in the top-right of any of these posts will cause the post to be quoted in your main Post Reply area, wherever the cursor is.

Yes I am a serial snipper. I'd rather get accused of taking something out of context than post an octuple-quote pyramid. :P

LOL, I had two "Second" points in that last post.

Welcome to The Syndicate, Dyslexicon!!

I am so pumped to play with all these people I've never played with before.

Manually will do, and the ISO is always a nice option.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean. :P

Also, this is true.

Is multi-quoting just being able to quote a bunch of posts at once without leaving the original page? I never knew that was an option until people started mentioning it here. Unless I'm miaunderstanding something.

I will now demonstrate what I regard as multi-quoting possible via the "topic review" section, that's visible underneath the reply box. It's understandly limited to the more recent posts written in the thread, but sometimes, during active discussion, it can help.

Also, hi.

I think Ricochet is also signing up.

You are mistaken, but if all those players draw those actual alignments, I get to ascend to MP Guessmagician tier, right?

Sounds good to me.

Is this an allusion to that one game (I forget which one) where MP called out the entire mafia team on Day 1?

Yes.

Without playing.

It was Guess Who.

I'll move myself to Yes if this doesn't fill up in the next 24 hours.

Yeah. Some sites have a little button you can click in each post to just throw a pile of quotes into the reply box all at once. I never even used it when it was available because I was so used to doing it manually.

Everyone else is permitted.

I realize that's not entirely true, but still painfully somewhat accurate.

No kidding. :P

Just two more, one more with Sloonei. If we can fill this sucker up then I should be able to start it tomorrow. I'm back in the US eastern time zone, so I might even be able to offer an agreeable deadline.

Hey Ika, Silverwolf, Zexy, Inawordyes!

Question for the mod - are we playing this true semi-open style for the C12? Or are you picking and announcing the vertical/horizontal setup before hand?
