The Syndicate

DAY 0

She wore blue velvet

Bluer than velvet was the night

Softer than satin was the light

From the stars

Precious and warm, a memory

Through the years

Blue Velvet Mafia has begun.

It is now Day 0. You have 24 hours to vote in the above poll. Future days will be 48 hours long.

Good luck.

Open BTSC and encouraged roleclaiming. This is different than the Syndicate norm. Let's all awkwardly try to figure out how to play with these new rules.

Also hot damn i'm playing a mafia game again.

I will choose to protect, for I am good. I will always protect master, who takes care of me. Who will be my master? I will love him forever.

Posted: **Sun Jun 11, 2017 8:19 pm**

We can PM each other about the game? Lol. And cool. But also, I don't want to be left out.

I like the protection option in the poll.

I had forgotten the D0 thing.

Also also, nice to see players here again.^^

This is a Last Man Standing game, right? So why give someone protection?

And that question didn't even need to be asked. The only relevant question is: what the hell good is a Public Protection? It will not stop a kill.

I will probably vote to restrict someone's BTSC. I think being competitive is a healthier attitude in an LMS game.

Like, there's not Town and Mafia going on, it's every person for themselves, lynch until there's one winner?

There are teams in this game. I would not classify it as LMS.

Lol, I'm town. That's nice that you think that though. Guess we're not on the same team then.

So should we restrict your BTSC?

Posted: **Sun Jun 11, 2017 8:32 pm**

So obviously Long Con is not town. Not bad for a first pager. Anyone else want to claim non-town?

Ok, if this isn't an LMS game then I will just rethink my strategy. My mistake.

Sounds reasonable.

That is actually of interest to me. I haven't played any INH-games, but I would not be surprised if they were a bit crazy given the theme. How has other games from him been? What can we expect? o.o

Hey all-- I'll be your Moderator on Duty for this game. If you ever need a friendly face to vent to, scream at, complain about another player,
or voice your concerns about the game/host... that's what I'm here for. Just shoot me a PM. I'm happy to hear from anyone for any reason at all.
Please don't hesitate-- you'll probably distract me from grading finals which I'm glad to do.So do me a favor-- PM me <3:)

Posted: **Sun Jun 11, 2017 10:34 pm**

Hmm. Perhaps LC is independent, then? If he didn't realize/his PM didn't indicate his alignment or gave him some sort of indie win condition?

I like trees. I don't want to chop them up. But I'll have to pick one I guess. And the event... yeah public protection doesn't seem like it makes sense, but then again it does ensure that player won't die but it pretty much ensures that someone else will be targeted and likely die (rather than have a chance of protecting the right person, as non-public protections can). The BTSC block might be better though, especially if we already suspect that someone (e.g. LC) may have ulterior anti-town motives in attempts to contact people.

Go ahead and block me from BTSC if you like. It's much less crucial if this is a regular Civ-vs-Mafia game. I'm not Indie, I just didn't notice the alignment-indicator at the end of my Character-description.

If my mainstream knowledge from that hip new fa dangled thing called "Snapchat" serves me right, it's this YouTube channel that's just full of weird stuff.

Hyphenating 'scum-hunting' would make your post sound more civvie but scum don't need to hunt unless there are two baddie teams.

Anywho, I'm voting for two lynch votes because I love lynch drama. I'm also voting for red cedar because I've always enjoyed the aroma of cedar wood.

Posted: **Mon Jun 12, 2017 7:25 am**

I actually think I believe LC in that he didn't see his role in his PM first. He described it, and it checks out. Cautiously optimistic.

For the record, I know Dizzy means that I didn't see my alignment within my role PM.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

Jesus, I thought that was a title mechanism choice, as unchoosable to us as the "--------------------------------------" part. Like, that was telling us there are two choices within the current poll. *hits head* Stop being dense, me!
