The Syndicate

This is a closed setup.

There are 17 players.

Phase length is 48/24.

This game is not bastard. There are no elements that lie to the players. There is no godfather, miller, insanifying, or alignment shifting.

There is no daily post limit.

There is no majority vote. Phases are full length. (This may change in the endgame, but only with everyone's consent.)

Ties are determined by rand.

There is no town night chat. There is a one-hour twilight chat after the flip.

Start and end times are at 3:00 PM PDT, with twilight chat going for a full hour after the flip. Thread is locked between EOD and flip for host convenience.



Angleshooting: Do not quote the host's private communications. Do not use Outside Game Information to inform your interactions with other players. This is less letter of the law and more sentiment and feel. If I think you're trying to skirt the rules to break the game, I will modkill without hesitation.

Appeals to emotion: Permitted, unless you are saying that the game is causing tangible harm to your life. If you say this, I will seek a replacement for you.

Roleclaiming: Permitted.

Flavour claiming: Permitted. Characters are independent of alignment.

Victory conditions: Wolves require parity with town at day start. Town requires the elimination of all wolves.

ADDENDUM: Unless you were explicitly given BTSC (behind-the-scenes chat) by the host, you are limited to posting in this thread. No outside communication.

The game will begin at 3:00 PM PDT on June 11.

Role PMs will be sent throughout today. If you could confirm via PM or Discord when you've received it, that'd be fantastic.

All role cards have been sent, I believe. Please let me know if you haven't received yours.

Oh, and to be safe... THERE IS NO NIGHT 0.

The crowing of the flocks of birds is relentless.

What was once a quiet sea bluff is now teeming with various species of bird. None know why they're there, only that they were called by an almost preternatural instinct deep inside to travel to this destination.

They try to leave, and find themselves return.

They try to sleep the dream away, but find themselves awake.

The birds are here to stay. But for what reason?

Far away on an overlooking bluff, a dodo studies the collection with an appraising gaze. She knows a selection of the birds below are up to no good.

She won't intervene. After all, it's the dodo's turn to laugh.

Lame

Actually not because I'm a goose!

hi friends, MoD here!

for those that don’t know, each game on the syndicate is assigned a moderator on duty (MoD). it’s my job to act as an unspoiled third party that you all can go to if something during the game upsets you. if you’re feeling frustrated at any point or just want to talk, don’t hesitate to message me! i also may reach out to people as needed. hope you all have fun!

BTW, if not otherwise said so in the OP is the standard for voting to do the tags and the poll both?

Vote is king. Using the tag in a post is courteous (but not mandatory).

damnit I should've requested Giant Moa, I would've surely been top bird then

okay so this is bird mafia, I'm assuming this is a sequel to dinosaur mafia

As I’m new to this server I thought it would only be fair to give you some info about me.

I play at CFC on MU as Wurzel Scummidge. I only started playing this year and this is my 7th game.

Of the other players in the game, this is my 6th game with WIML, 5th with Esooa and Nanook and 3rd with Alison and Dolby

Also just to let you know about my day 1 meta:

1st half of D1 – be a bit jokey and RVS
Mid D1 – start speculating about the set up. Initial thoughts (NOT reads)
About 3-4 hours before EOD – provide proper list of reads. Make serious vote

Please shout if any questions. Also I am based in the UK so off to bed soon.

I'm a bird!


And a pretty fuckin' sweet bird at that, so kudos to our host.



Also if there's a Cassowary in this game that's cool beans

Let's try this voting malarkey:

Vote: hollowkatt

Also why are you allowed a giant picture of a walking emu/ostrich type thing but are only allowed 150x150 pixels in your avatar? Mine is supposed to be a lion but I had to crop most of it out so it now looks like a bear with bad indigestion.

Just RVS at this stage. HK hangs out a lot on the CFC Discord so he has seen me play a lot, although I have only been in a game with him once (where he died quite early)

sooo basically shits and giggles?

I think falcon's interactions with Wurzel are unironically towny.

Right off to bed. I won't be around much (if at all) in the day tomorrow as I am going to visit my grandmother who I haven't seen in 7 months and she doesn't have the internet but will catch up tomorrow evening.

Night all

Night!

Gav might be town. He usually scum reads me when I'm town, and town reads me when he's scum
