The Syndicate

Voted Other because my fave music is EDM. Will tune in more later.

I assume the MacDougall stuff against Matt is from mafia-history? Is he always like this? Because bringing up stuff like that tends to be pingy to me (even if it's brought up as a joke) but if he's always like that, then that may be context.

I find looking for valid reasons to lynch someone tends to be pingy to me.

whoa boy

OK, gonna vote Prog. I like Alternative a lot, plus tons of "other", but my favorite album & song are Pink Floyd.

Best concept album ever, plus almost every song stands on it's own.

I have last December. It seems under heavy repairs, two of the horns were even taken down.

I voted for whatever this is

See, I find looking for valid reasons to lynch someone to be how the game is played.

And I find your answer made me more suspicious of you, so, yeah.

Also, eye me all you want.

Right? Enjoy the popcorn.

And I voted alternative because it seemed like a good alternative (bad pun, sorry).

Why would you find it odd for someone to look for valid reasons to lynch someone? Seems counter-productive to me.

No you should have used pink font.

Scratch that, pink wouldn't have been appropiate, use green.

Blue font for the win!

I have last December. It seems under heavy repairs, two of the horns were even taken down.

Battersea Park is my dog's favourite place to walk so I go there frequently.

One was taken down and replaced, and now the other three are being repaired. TThe council apparently wants to make sure the new ones look the same. but you can still tell which one is the new one right now because it is a different color. Needs to be painted still.

I've actually researched the Battersea restoration project quite a bit recently. When I took my dad to the airport no one believed me that one of them was gone recently so I had to look it all up when I got home.

anyways voting rock

As the sun set on the first night of the new reality, the inhabitants began to move about and explore. Each one a little confused, as though there were something they were forgetting, or something that they knew subconsciously, but couldn't make sense of it in their conscious minds. In the end, it mattered little. One's reality, as always, is the only yardstick against which to measure all else. Most shook their heads and pushed away the insane thoughts that danced on the edge of their reason.

Night 0 has begun. No powers will be in play this night, just movement. Please send in your movements by the time Day 1 starts, which will be in roughly 24 hours, maybe slightly less.

The poll will remain up until the night is over.

Hoo boy I can't wait to vote for MattF.

How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you

I hope everyone is keen to vote MattF along with me. Floyd? Can you get your mates to help me railroad Matt on day 1?

Friends of Floyd - Please do not lynch me

Electronic all the way.

Oopsie! Sorry, fine lady!

And thank you!

I have updated the Rules post with this: The Circle of Decay has the opportunity to kill on odd nights, and the Witherdeath Cabal may kill on even nights. No one is killing on Night 0.

I have updated the Map post with this: If two or more players move to the same square, the one that sent in their movement first will arrive on the square first. If there is an Item on that square, then the first one to arrive will have the first opportunity to pick that item up. So getting your movement PM in early is generally advantageous.

Finally checking in. I voted Rock in the sense of 1950's Rock n' Roll, and also the Beatles.

Some role questions in blue.



Cataclysm - Begins the game with four subterranean pulse emitters.

What is a subterranean pulse emitter and what does it do?



Chaos Wizard - The Chaos Wizard has a tower somewhere on the map, and starts on that square. Can do a variety of things from within the Tower:

- can create a Chaos Field around the tower, and anyone approaching will have their direction randomized (within one square of the Tower). Protected from ranged attacks (like kills where the killer isn’t on your square) while the Chaos Field is active
- can choose two players and switch their location, and targeted-ness that night
- can send a message to a player

If the Chaos Wizard leaves the tower, he will automatically randomize the targeting of any role within a two-square radius.

How long does the Chaos Field last?



Lich of Khastor Keep - Cannot be nightkilled while his phylactery exists. Each night, the Lich may discover the location of one player. Can stop one lynch.

What is a phylactery and what does it do?



Living Statue - Cannot move until united with the Star Gem. Immune to nightkills and poison. Will know the role of each person to enter its square.

When the Star Gem is placed in the Living Statue’s chest, it gains a movement rate of 4 and no longer rolechecks. The Living Statue will join the Win Condition of the one who placed the Star Gem, gaining BTSC if it joins a baddie team.

Is the Star Gem located on the map somewhere?



The Darkness - Infects one player per night with darkness, causing them to lose their win condition. The Darkness can send one message each night to those it infects, and may choose to release a player from the darkness at any time. The Darkness will know where infected players are at all times.

If the Darkness is night-targeted, the targeting will fail as though a roleblock or protection were in play. The Darkness may enter the BTSC of any square it’s on as The Darkness. Otherwise, it is undetectable.

If an infected player is targeted by the Essence Elemental, then they are cleansed of infection. If the Darkness is targeted by the Essence Elemental, it is killed! If The Darkness infects the Essence Elemental, the Essence Elemental will be killed.

The Darkness cannot acquire Items. *secrets*

Will players be informed of their lost win condition?
Do items work on the Darkness?

He keeps saying he's going to vote for me in this game and in Dune. Here is one of his posts in Dune:

Placeholder vote for MattF.

I think he's joking, so I'm having fun back with him. However, it's entirely possible he will tunnel me in both games until (as he states) one of us is dead. You'll have to ask him.

I WAS kinda asking both of you, so I did ask him~


And yeah, I was going back and forth a lot yesterday, I guess I must have thought all of those posts were in this thread, and I was like, "All right already, we get it, you don't trust each other, enough with the overkill", then it was a "hmm" thing. So fair enough.

A phylactery is a box with Hebrew scripture in it, worn during religious practice. I have no idea what it would do in the game though.

I believe liches and other such evil beings are also said to keep their soul/spirit/essence within them to give them immortality, and destruction of a phylactery is a sure way of killing a lich.

Maybe you'll find out if you get a hold of one!

It lasts for one phase... basically if he's in the Tower, and doesn't message anyone or switch anyone, then the field is active.

Lich of Khastor Keep - Cannot be nightkilled while his phylactery exists. Each night, the Lich may discover the location of one player. Can stop one lynch.

What is a phylactery and what does it do?

Let me tell you about Liches first. A Lich is a powerful dark wizard who has achieved a form of immortality by binding his or her soul to an object. This object is known as the Lich's phylactery. As long as the phylactery is safe, then the Lich's immortality is secure. Destroy the phylactery, and the Lich is vulnerable.

Living Statue - Cannot move until united with the Star Gem. Immune to nightkills and poison. Will know the role of each person to enter its square.

When the Star Gem is placed in the Living Statue’s chest, it gains a movement rate of 4 and no longer rolechecks. The Living Statue will join the Win Condition of the one who placed the Star Gem, gaining BTSC if it joins a baddie team.

Why yes... yes it is.

You will know if your Win Condition has been lost. Items can work on The Darkness.

I find it kind of amusing that I'm not the one that answered this. Also, I believe that while it's generally used to refer to t'fillin (the box with hebrew scripture you wear on your head) it's actually, technically speaking, a thing that has something in it that you wear on the head.

It's just not a term that comes up much, for any purpose, outside of Jewish ritual.

Just an FYI, for the duration of the World Series, I will be scarce during game times. As a lifelong Mets fan, this is a squeeeee moment for me.

Hopefully it is not rained out tonight

It being not 1986, I'm rooting for the Mets.

Im waiting for the Australian footy season. Five months to go...

Looking forward to this.
