The Syndicate

7 v 2 mountainous.

48/24 phases. No post cap. Closed nights.

SOD/EOD at 1 PM PST. Starts after at least one of the other hustles is completed.

Strict 10-post minimum per phase. There will be no reminders; failure to meet this standard will result in sub-out if before D2 and mod-kill if after.

Flavour claiming is prohibited.

If play occurs over the Christmas break, phases will be extended by 24 hours on Christmas Day and New Year's.

Yeah

Yeah

I've decided I'm a huge fan of Hustles.

Good to get back to our roots.

Yeah

Oh hey another mountainous.

Yeah

isn't 7-2 vanilla heavily scumsided? even 13p 2 scum mountainous is scumsided..

you do not need to play if you feel it is unfair

It's just 1 misyeet available, which is fine since it's a small game and you don't have to keep track of so much.

I dont, correct, but players should be aware of the fact that if they rand town(likely) mech odds put them at less than 33% (EV). 1 well placed bus is pretty much a guaranteed win for mafia when we take into account player skill+behavior.

Btw It is a perfectly valid concern to have when one sees an open setup in sign-ups and know how scumsided the setup is - so please don't reply with snark like this telling me i "dont have to play". I'm looking out for other players, not myself.


There are years of play with mountainous dating back to the early 2000s on MS where the variant originated so this is tested too which is also why i had a concern.

Post is longer than i intended but i hope the point is understood.

it is understood, but it is also unwelcome, and my point is repeated. your participation isn't necessary, so your approval is equally unnecessary

I've had no issue running 7-2s in the past and don't envision a problem arising because of what happens in a different community

2 misyeets

I can't count.

Its ok...it is fairly punishing, but like...many closed games are just as tough if not more so, and here you know what you're getting into, so...just play good

Me too! I love all these quick little games

I'm excited for this. I don't think I've ever actually played a true mountainous setup.
