The Syndicate

THE RULES ARE IN TEXT TO ENSURE EVERYONE SEES THEM BEFORE WE BEGIN.

~ Every on-topic post in this game will feature a vocal recording of some kind. The vast majority of the game will be recorded, and it is against the rules to use a lot of text.

~ You are permitted no more than FOUR WORDS OF TEXT per recording to describe the contents of each recording. This limitation is applied per recording, not per post. If you place multiple recordings in one post, you may use up to four words of text to describe each recording.

PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THIS RULE by posting very short recordings in a large quantity so that the majority of what you have to say is reduced to the textual descriptions. I won't devise a strict rule here, but if I feel anyone is veering off the intended spirit of the game -- a strong emphasis on voice recording -- I will intervene privately.

Example game post <~~~ Three words of text used to describe a recording with many more than three words spoken

~ In the sign-up thread I projected game cycles that would be 60/12. I am going to have to change this to 48/24, because polls do not allow for deadlines to be projected at a non-integer number of days. That's what we're all used to anyway, so it should be fine.

Cycles are 48/24. Day 0 will last 24 hours.

~ Please be even more conscious of gamesmanship than you already typically are. You're all great people and we'll have fun; I just want to ensure everyone is conscious of the different ways you might be perceived when you're speaking points rather than typing them.

~ When you want to place votes, please voice them in your recordings. You'll still use the poll as normal though. Votes can be changed at will.

~ Everyone is eligible to win with their factions dead or alive.

~ Role claiming and info-dumping are legal.

~ Self-voting is legal. Self-targeting is illegal. Double-targeting is illegal.

~ Tied tallies are randomized. A no lynch option will be included.

~ The game thread will be open during night phases and anyone may post. The mafia team will be permitted to communicate privately during all phases, and in private they will not be required to use voice recordings.

~ If you need to make an off-topic comment, you don't have to use a voice recording. Just be sure to use the proper green text via the <OT> tags, and please do not include any game-relevant information whatsoever in this text.

SETUP

~ Civilian 2-shot watcher

Twice during the game during any separate night phases you may select a player. You will be told who targeted that player if anyone.

~ Civilian 2-shot gift giver

Twice during the game during any separate night phases, you may select a player. That player will receive a randomly selected item.

~ 5 vanilla civilians

~~~

~ Mafia 1-shot roleblocker / 1-shot ninja

Once during the game during any night phase, you may target a player. That player's role will not function.

Once during the game during any night phase, you may perform any night actions without risk of being seen by an investigative role.

You may use these actions on the same night or on separate nights; the choice is yours.

If you're on mobile, I recommend you try the app "SpeakPipe". It worked for me at least.

If anyone has any questions about anything, please give them to me PRIVATELY. I prefer to keep host influence to an absolute minimum.

Llama style.

What's good everyone?

Oh, this too.

And now I sleep.

How annoying. Though I can listen to all of your recordings I cannot record using vocaroo as my Mac does not have flash player. Thus, I will be your mod without being able to record my voice (unless one of you can tell me how to get around the flash business). Nevertheless, I'm still here and very much enjoying listening to you all voice your thoughts. If at any time you begin to feel frustrated or upset by what is being said in this game PLEASE do not let that frustration creep into your recordings and instead contact me by PM. No matter what the problem I am here to help. I am very much enjoying your recordings so far, you are all so imaginative and creative.

off-topic non-vocal update on my situation: Girlfriend is safely recovered from the snowy wasteland outside and not flying home until Monday now. I'll be with her most of that time. I'll find time to listen to posts but can't promise activity for a little while. I apologize, this all happened by surprise.
