The goal every year is to compete for a Championship, so it's really special to be in this game. I'm really proud of everyone in this locker room. Up and down the roster, these guys and gals have worked their butts off to get to this point.

Along with @juliets, I will be serving as your moderator on duty for the game. If at any point the competition gets too fierce and you feel the vibes are going in a bad direction, please don't hesitate to reach out to either or both of us. We've seen a few of these rodeos and we know how it can be; use us as a space for venting, airing of grievances, and concerns about the game. We'll be keeping an eye on things and are looking forward to seeing how it shakes out. Have a good time, and maybe best team hoist the Lombardi Sock.

someone voted for me and honestly i'm feeling so attacked right now

please advise

Hello everyone, I am Jim Nantz and I welcome each and every one of you the Syndicate Game of Champions 2020. Looks like we have a great lineup for this year, it will be interesting to see how this game goes.

please refrain from sports balls references this is a game for nerds

why does tutuu know the superbowl

J's being helpful, I don't trust it

The Buccaneers are obviously the scum team.

Yeah, like I literally don't even know who just payed in the Super Bowl. I know Tom Brady did, so that's something.

sus

Looks like we have our first official kickoff vote, courtesy of MacDougall. MacDougall's career has been going uphill, he has shown great performance under pressure in recent games. I've heard rumors that multiple mafia communities were trying to recruit him but his coach NANOOK wasn't letting him go. We're all curious how can he perform as the team captain in such a high stakes game, especially against other superstars players.

hi everyone

quick note that I'm a pre-game replacement (see: signup poll) but I'll try to attend to this large game as much as I can

but at some points or days my time may be very limited

specifying the dead, the host, and the non-players?

In older days on the Syndicate, it was not uncommon for the Day 0 post to have some sort of mechanical impact on the game. Epi hails from that era. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden significance to these votes.

it's pretty clear imo that we're going so where based on what we pick on the poll. Like it might effect what kinds of mini games and stuff

How is that "clear", and not actually "a colossal assumption"?
