The Syndicate

A lot of people here seem to be creatively inclined, and upicks are fun, so I want to combine the two.

The basic idea is simple, you submit a piece of your own art* and I design a role around it. Roles are randed (so you'll get someone else's artwork as your role) and we play a mafia game.

Anyone that doesn't want to or have time to play but wants to submit artwork for a role is welcome to do so as well.

Standard nanook host rules will apply, there will be a reasonable post cap (something like 50-75 a day most likely), and there will almost certainly be experimental and/or nonstandard mechanics.


*Can be anything you've created. A photo, a painting, a drawing, a song, a poem, a short story, anything you created yourself counts and is fair game. If you send me a literal novel I reserve the right to base the role just on the first chapter

A clarification that if you just want to play you don't HAVE to submit art, it's encouraged but not mandatory!

Yep

Can I submit art if I DON’T want to play?

Not saying I don’t, but maybe someone out there just wants to be an artiste

Of course!

Alright since this game is slowing down I'm joining but don't expect much from my "art"

Am I allowed to leave the role making up to you? I can obviously try but I'm not super confident

Nevermind lol

Henlo

/in but i need to find something ive made that could ever be interpreted as art

Signups open for another week or two!

I hope you're gonna be forgiving with this art thing cause I don't have a backup plan so this better work

OK, I am trying to avoid too many open games at once, I'll check in in a week. I finally thought of what i could submit.

Of course! The point is to celebrate, not to criticize!

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME when are you thinking this will start?

Closing signups...idk probably Tuesday, and will take me at least a week to do the game design after that, so...safe bet is around the 12th ish

@Dennis was a mod in a minecraft server a few years ago and the first thing he did was ban his twin brother.

Now that is just inaccurate

It wasn't the FIRST thing I did, I was mod for quite a while before then

And it was a 1 hour ban from talking in the discord. Not even from the actual game. He really overreacted but it was really funny
