@112 - "tfw you're too old to see the taste in cinnamon toast crunch"
@Grogu - "hot date"

Spoiler: show

I didn't get any message about two actions but I also don't have a role that it would function on either

How would that work? I didn’t check in the thread until just now when thread was opened. If I had a second check after thread is open and I see who died isn’t that broken?

you'd get told you could double act and then you'd get two checks

@Grogu presumably you'd be told via a PM from LongCon.

I’ll come clean team. I have failed you.
I never expected to survive the night. I was very confused about the char flip and I was on my way to a very hot date. We stayed overnight to celebrate my girl bday and vday weekend. Last thing in my mind was the game... I never submitted an action last night.

@Guillotine - "I'm making this one post out of my gambit"

Spoiler: show

I'm making this one post out of my gambit.

I belong to a very rare breed of brutally honest people. Bold, direct, very hardheaded and I'm volatile. I got a high temperament and i can be very abrasive when it comes to defend my views!

Something this generation of instant gratification, entitled, selfish, unsympathetic little pricks loathe. Now im not saying that you belong to that generation or that you are that kind of people, but im an old man, with little patience for bullshit and care about your feelings!
Which has led me to big fights with some people here and i dont want that! I came here to have fun not to let anyone provoke me into getting in an argument with anybody because then, i am the motherfucking unpleasant player to play with.

That's why im playing with gambits from this game forward and in every game i play here at The Syndicate, where i can have fun, where i dont have to post and hurt your delicate feelings and where i dont get high blood pressure arguing with you.

So if you dont like how im playing now then you may as well yeet me, because it is not gonna change, of course without forgetting to say.

Screw your policy lynch reasons Scum!

@Kylemii - "hello boss?"

Spoiler: show

hello boss? yes, good evening, yes i know it's midnight, i was just calling to let you know i won't be coming into work tomorrow..... yeah no, i'm not sick or anything i just made a lucky move based on another players deliberate misinformation in mafia and another lucky move based on shenanigans and it's removed some lead suspects from the pool... no i'm okay, it's not the real mafia. i just killed a wolf.... no not a real wolf it's uh.... what? a promotion? for me? to ceo? no. sorry. i refuse. that would cut into my time for playing forum games. see you on monday

@nutella - "role madness gothic"

Spoiler: show

role madness gothic.

you awaken from a deep slumber and discover that you have a notification on mafia the syndicate dot com. you open your inbox only to find a shimmering greenish blur hovering over where the pm should be, preventing you from clicking on it.
you rub your eyes and shake your phone, unsure if you are still dreaming. finally you are able to open the message. in nearly indecipherable text it reads:

you tremble at the great terror and responsibility that lies before you. you cannot fully comprehend the magnitude of this monumental challenge, but somewhere deep within your gut you know that it is a darker and more dangerous trial than anything even the lauded Thundrous Marmot of the Marsh ever faced. you contemplate this in a heady state of delirium as you brush your teeth, and the adrenaline surges in. you can do this. you will transcend the limitations of ordinary alignments. you will overcome the petty scumreads of mere mortals. you will face your foes until the final phase like none other has done before. you are infinite.

@tutuu - "Marmot-Grogu fanfiction" and "does anyone know if nutella is capable of 22 posting as a wolf?"

Spoiler: show

click click click

"dammit" - a tiny squeeky voice gasped

click click click

"friiiick!!!" - a teeny weeny baby yoda voice echoed

"i cant log on to marmot's account... i tried everything... wait .... unless...." - a light bulb lit up above grogu's head

m a r m o t h a s t h e b i g p e e p e e - grogu typed. "enter", he pressed.

"Login successful! You are now being redirected" - lit up on his screen, just as grogu's tiny cute eyes lit up to match.

"yesssss, all according to plan, ehehehe >:D" - the tiny mastermind rubbed his tiny paws.

navigating through Marmot's inbox and his 69 scum rand role PMs, grogu finally located the "outbox" folder.

his eyes widened at this discovery. "oooooh... so this is the mafia team for the bread game..."

excited at the prospect of catching them all and showing he's the best town player of all time, grogu's tiny eyes noticed something weird. an irregularity. was it a figment of his tiny cute imagination? a mysterious PM sent by a mysterious person named "juliets"

grogu hovered over the message. a shiver went down his tiny spine and tiny sweat drops started falling down his tiny neck. he could feel like he is doing something wrong. very wrong. if he clicked this, there was no turning back. but.... he couldnt stop here. not after everything that happened. not after what happened with NANOOK.... grogu had to move forward...

he clicked on the message. And in that brief moment, Grogu regret every moment he had lived in his life.

Spoiler: show

grogu remembered. he remembered everything. he remembered why was he locked in that cell, what happened to humanity, what happened to his friends. grogu knew. grogu knew that he was locked in his room, he remembered the apocalypse and the following purge and extinction. and that he was the last living person left in the universe.

nobody else was alive. it was just him. grogu

suddenly, grogu heard a knock on his door.

Congratulations to all the winners! All very well deserved!

He does so much behind the scenes and doesn’t get enough credit. I appreciate and thank you all
