The Syndicate

Important Gameplay/Posting Rules (PLEASE READ):
This is a Light Game. That means that all players have a limit on how many times they are allowed to post during each phase. This is otherwise a straightforward mafia game.

• The general post limit will be 45 posts per phase. No player should exceed their 45-post limit during any Day phase unless given explicit permission to do so.

• In the event that a player exceeds their allowed post-limit during any phase:
  • First violation - Player receives 1 additional vote in the poll the following day for every 5 posts above their limit, starting with the first extra post.
  • Second violation - Player is silenced for the first 24 hours of the following Day and has their post limit cut in half, in addition to receiving extra votes.
  • Third violation - Player is modkilled.

Inmates (Town) (13):

• Eagle Eyes Phil* - Former head of security for one of the largest gangs in the metropolitan area, Phil knows how to spot a rat. On odd nights, he can check a player's alignment.

• Danny Tightpants* - No one's brave enough to ask Daniel how he got his nickname, and frankly no one wants to know. All they need to know is that he's on their side; and he feels the same about them. On even nights, he can check a player's alignment.

• Sammy the Lookout - Sammy's always known how to track his targets without leaving a trace, and things are no different on the inside. Three times during the game at night, Sammy can track a player to find out who, if anyone, they targeted that night.

• Jimmy Hot Fingers - If you need something done, Jimmy Hot Fingers is the man for you. No one knows quite what he's up to, but you better believe he's up to something. Two times during the game at night Jimmy can watch a player to learn who, if anyone, targeted them that night.

• Peepin' Tom - Poor Tom couldn't resist living up to his namesake, and those old habits have landed him in Sockville. But he's not without his uses on the inside! Three times during the game, Tom can target a player to learn what actions were performed on them, but not who performed those actions.

• Charlie Hustle - Every gang needs a wildcard! It helps to thwart the Warden's plans if not even the rest of the breakout crew knows for sure what's going on, and that's where Charlie comes into play. Twice during the game, Charlie can target two players, redirecting all night actions from one target to the other and vice versa.

• Lonnie the Conman - Lonnie's the best conman in the game, to the extent that most folks just assume he got himself locked up on purpose. But now he's trying to help spring his fellow inmates, and he does so with his trademark deft touch. Each day, Lonnie can distract the guards, freeing up one other player to exceed the standard 45-post limit for the phase. *secrets*

• Prison Mike - Mike's not cut out for prison. He thought it would be a step up from his demeaning 9-5 office job, but boy was he wrong. His only solace is the friend he made in his cellmate, Danny Peanuts. Mike shares BTSC with Danny throughout the game.

• Danny Peanuts - Danny's a good guy at heart. He knows he's made mistakes, but he thinks he's ready to start a new life on the outside. He's included his cellmate Mike in the breakout scheme out of pity, but all he can really do is make sure Mike doesn't crack and squeal to the Warden. Danny shares BTSC with Prison Mike throughout the game.

• Seamus Fitzroy - The ringleader of the whole operation, and the man with all the connections. Two times during the game, Seamus can have a player of his choice transferred to the infirmary for a night, protecting them from fatal night actions. In addition, *secrets*

• Hairpin Pete - Pete's a bit of a loose trigger, but everyone was too afraid to exclude him from the plot once he found out about it. Pete's liable to fly off the handle at any moment, though. Once during the game, he can nightkill a player of his choice.

• Tricky Jack - Jack's no expert at anything in particular, but he knows how to be useful in a number of ways. Jack has three 1-shot abilities to be used on any separate night phases during the game. They are: 1-shot double vote, 1-shot protection, 1-shot track/watch (player decides which is used).

• Johnny Tightlips - Ain't nobody squealing on Johnny's watch, that's for sure. Twice during the game, Johnny can force one player to stay in his cell with him at night. This will both roleblock and protect that player.

*At the beginning of the game, one cop will be randomly selected to become insane. The other will be sane. Players will not be alerted to their sanities.

Prison Guard (Mafia) (3):

• Snitching Richie - The Warden's man on the inside. Richie reports back to the Warden with any information he can glean from his fellow inmates. Twice during the game, he can perform an undetectable game at the Warden's behest. Alternatively, he can forego one of these untraceable kills to learn a specific player's role.

• Sgt. Harrison - The Warden's second in command and head of the prison guard, no one power trips quite like Sgt. Harrison. Once during the game, Harrison can show his power by taking out a player regardless of any protective actions which might be used on them that night. Twice during the game, Harrison can toss a prisoner's cell at night, preventing them from performing any night actions.

• Warden Golden - Let no one forget that Sockville Penitentiary is Warden Golden's domain. The inmates may think they run this place, but they're dead wrong. Once during the game, the Warden can dispose of a player without a trace. No role will be displayed upon this player's death. In addition, *secrets*

-Day phases will be 48 hours. Night phases will be 24 hours.
-The game thread will be locked during Night phases.
-All votes will be changeable.
-Plurality voting; the player with the most votes at the end of the Day is lynched.


-As this is an open setup, all roleclaiming and info-dumping is prohibited.
-Do not look for or attempt to exploit loopholes ("angle-shooting").
-Any questions about the game, mechanics, rules, etc. should be directed to the host IN PRIVATE.
-As stipulated above, players are restricted to 45 posts per phase unless specifically instructed otherwise. More details on this can be found at the top of the first post.
-Have fun and be respectful. This is a fun game, but sometimes emotions get involved. Remember that the Mod on Duty is always available if you have any grievances during the game.
-I will always look for replacements before modkills in the event of inactivity. Players will be replaced in the order that they request replacements, or based on the severity of their inactivity. Replacement priority has absolutely nothing to do with a player's role or alignment. Modkills are always a last resort.
-This is the host color. Try not to use it.

-Non-players should post in NP blue and should refrain from on-topic discussion. Note how ever so slightly different from the host color it is.
-Dead players should keep their posts in dead red and should avoid on-topic contributions.
-Off-topic content by active players should be in OT green.

Hello

No post cap. To abuse or not to abuse? Tough choice.

I think it may be time to bring back the pre-posting GTH. A 100% success rate so far.

Total and absolute skills.

Light joke as an icebreaker. I hate the use an emoji there. It doesn't fit in a natural way, and it kind of doesn't fit him either. Trying to lighten his entrance even more. Compensating? Maybe.

Drago is bad.

Rej is not giving me a good vibe with his post. It's like he's congratulating you for making a random gth post, looking like a pocketing attempt. Manipulative with it a bit.

Everybody else is neutral.

Yes I love it when you give me hard times brudda.
Also I did the same thing as you did when first entering here -> quoting novas
And what you did was asking him if the list is the result of TMI, so you did a soft push vs Novas, while you FOS me afterwards for possibly pocketing novas. Wouldn't this make novas and me scum mates? makes no sense

Okay let's go. It's day 1 now so I've got to limit myself but I don't think? it'll be a problem

I like Epignosis' analysis here. While I probably won't make 45 posts in a phase (probs jinxing myself here), I think wasteful posts are always -worthy, but in a game like this, especially so. Not only do I like the content of the post, but it makes me feel good about Epi on a gut level. That's new.

Neither of your posts does anything here besides discredit suspicion with humour.

Underwhelmed if nova is a neutral read. Even more underwhelmed if you left him out of his asking you for reads on everyone who posted, which would include him.
