The Syndicate

Welcome to It's a Mysterious Universe Mafia! A couple things:

Four players start the game out of the thread. They are players in the game and there is a mechanic for them to join the thread. They may not vote or be voted for until they are in the thread. They cannot be targeted by normal means until they are in the thread.

Days will be approximately 48 hours long (adjusted to fit my schedule). Nights will be approximately 24 hours long, possibly longer if necessary. If someone receives 2/3 of the votes they will die and the day will end (example: 12 players alive and in thread, Dunya receives 8 votes, the day will end and Dunya will die). Votes made in the poll are the official count--if a hammer is reached please screenshot it and send it to me.

The town wincon is: You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

There is no generic VT role PM. All role PMs are customized, do not angleshoot them.

Characters and abilities are not alignment-indicative. There are no claim restrictions beyond “don’t quote your role PM.”

[mention]sabie12[/mention] is your MoD, if you find yourself getting unreasonably upset with another player, or the setup, or me, message her.

There are only two alignments in this game, and no player will switch alignments.

ISOs:

D1 has begun! It will end Sunday, October 25, at 4pm EDT (or when one player has received 8 votes). Votes placed after 4pm EDT will not be counted (:00 = good, 01 = bad). Please don't vote after deadline, we're mostly on the honor system!

Buuuut... I'm going back to bed for an hour or two. I'm just up to get my kids off to school. Still off work due to Covid, so I live like that while I can. Later!

Aight, bye bye have a great day

Sabie rules!

Hello everyone!
Feels nice to play here again. Maybe I'll even live past N2 this time.
Will probably be less active early on, unfortunately.

That's... well, I've never seen that before. Was it ever a thing in a previous game on this website?

Oh yeah, hi TSP, Poison, LC. The others I haven't played with yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Will get back here when there's stuff to work with.

TSP? Is he in your scum chat?

Glad to play with you again, vul.

I have seen something along the line here, there were few people who could post in the thread but could not get lynched or voted for that day, in U pick game.

Tsk Tsk TSP scumslip. Nice catch LC. Gg.

Btw, I'm pretty sure he said Hi to us three cause he played with us and not the rest.

I'm pretty sure I have to wake up to catch at least 10-15 pages. Smh.

Ah, that makes sense. Only the three of us from the last game then.

Yeah.! I think I have played/playing all my games here with you.

Franklym it is simply unacceptable to use sweet innocent dunia as a kill example in the rules.

Yeah I agree tbh.

I'm lost. What does "out of the thread" mean? Are they not allowed to read the thread, or just not allowed to post/vote? (I assume the latter because it's much easier to enforce.) Are they in the playerlist or a separate category? Because if they're in the playerlist we should just have everyone check in to see who's missing and out of the thread.

I like LC jumping on a perceived slip. It's not a real slip, but being attentive to scumslips is townie (mafia know exactly who the mafia are most of the time and don't care) and the way he handled it doesn't look like scum trying to drum up suspicion based on a poor choice of wording.

Were they specifically alignment based or were there mixed alignments?

We have not played together before. What can you tell me about yourselves as players? What sort of things dl you like to do, particularly on Day 1? What do you look for? What can we do to help you settle in and play your game?

I think thet were technically self-aligned, but they were friendly and pro-town.

Yes. Nanook can confirm.

Votes made in the poll are the official count--if a hammer is reached please screenshot it and send it to me.

Hi. What does “a hammer” mean in this context?

Once a player reaches a certain total in the poll, the day ends and they are eliminated.

Makes sense, thank you.

I'm agitating to play with, I think. I lean towards banter D1 and poking holes in reads/theories, but it's not often that I make a case myself unless it's mechanical. I don't like theory meta and only opt for player meta when it's a consistent trend (e.g. I'll say something is in someone's wolf meta if it's something I've seen them do every single time they rand wolf).

With D1s, I'm usually outspoken in that it's tough to give a genuine read, barring a screw-up from a wolf or exceptionally anti-town play. I generally veer towards "D1 is a gut shot at best." But D1 behaviour can become relevant later too.

I never do walls. And I've only done an ISO once in 14 games. The closest I get to an ISO is remembering something someone said and then trying to go find it.

I like your style, seems closer to mine then the current trend these days.

Syn, how many games have you played before?

Poison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 12:28 pm Syn, how many games have you played before?

Not including ongoing games, 14.

5/5 town, 1/1 wolf.

Wait, that comes to 12.

Okay, 12 games.

Is it me or the math is getting weird day by day?

Why 5/5 town if you count the whole as 10 what sorcery is this?

Wins/Losses, I assume.

Stuff like certain roles being inherently town or wolf. I also once had someone call me a wolf because I used the word "honestly."

I mean, I was a wolf, but, y'know.
