<3 you Russ and team! Hopefully we can be a team together soon! I wonder where Bcornett is... I kinda feel bad for offing him the way I did...

Rico, did you really not know about rocks that I had given y'all? or did you not get rocks? I played so hard around rocks, but that play didn't even work!!! ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

If ya all check out MP's first post on page 3 of the Syndicate Day 0...

He calls out Long Con, Russ, and Dr Wilgy for not voicing opinions.

Thanks FZ.

I know you got a late start to this game, but thanks for coming in and playing nonetheless. Congrats to you on the win as well.

The only two I never suspected on Mafia was LC early on and DrWilgy ever. Not bad.

I thought MM was Psycho Killer though.

Welcome to the 2015 game of champs, many people.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:23 pm**

So not only do all of the civilian winners get those awesome banners, but every single one of you is now eligible to participate in The Syndicate's 2015 Game of Champions, if you weren't already.

Dang it! Golden beat me to it!

My read on you is perhaps the most wrong I've ever been about anything. You got me good this time, MacAttack.
I kind of played my entire game to trick you but it backfired because civ Mac meta is general scum meta haha.

It's still your meta though, so I never even came close to suspecting you. Well-played good sir, well-played.

S~V~S has the honor this year.

Suggestion for Syndicate brass:

If the all-civs-win condition complicates your annual champs prerequisites (by causing a massive game from hell), an alternative could be to turn it into a champs tournament and award all winners a spot in a qualifying game instead of a winner-take-all finale game. Those advancing to the final can be decided by a variety of mechanisms such a popular vote, win conditions in qualifiers, etc...

Something to chew on, I've obviously never participated in a Syndicate championship thing though.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:28 pm**

I found it amusing how Syndicate civs vociferously defended LC and them RYM civs did the same for me aside from Strawhenge who by golly I thought I could convince. Black Rock was ready to vote to save me literally asked in BTSC and I got called into a meeting 10 minutes before deadline and came back minutes after it haha. Wilgy convinced her not to bcuz plans or something.

Damn, I was hoping it would cause you to forfeit for the rest of the year. I didn't mean to encourage you.

How close are we to MVP reveals? I think I really need to go to bed, I incidentally have my first Accompaniment classes tomorrow at the Faculty, so I'd better not get fired from day 1.

Also, I'm still waiting...

Can someone give me an answer, before I reach another 1K in post-game posts?

I still think it would have been really nice for the Spectators Chat to be a thread, so we can see what everyone went through on the side of the dead and how much nobody liked or rooted for me (except FZ

).

87 will remain one of my favourite games.

Oh, did I win that one? Why yes, I did.

Here is what a Sydicate GoC looks like (notice the player who got lynched Day 1). Signups are open to everyone who qualifies, but as is normally expected, not everyone will.

But we've had more games this year than previous years, so maybe this year will be different.

You had some talk to dead spectators role. That was fun.

87 is one of my favourites too. If nothing else because sleepy believed the idea of a role that was a bomb was 'obviously fake'.

That entire game was comedy gold. Also aether getting off because of her near lynch emotional performance and then flipping wolf later.

Scumslips are applicable to brand new people, but I don't want to hear about slips for players who've played Mafia for years. :P

IDK. I hear Turnip is co-hosting or modding and not having all my Film possies playing in a Championship game for which I became eligible by winning Film alongside them is a bit of an emotional deal-breaker.

Plus, on the RL side, I guess I'll decide, depending on when it'll happen and how busy I'll be and especially how much progress I did adjusting to a real life study rhythm instead of a 12 hours out of 15 awake mafia one.
