Day 1
Day 2
Day 3...

SoD/EoD timers are shared in the discord hub in the form of a discord timestamp. It is automatically in your timezone.

== Downsize Info ==

6 good timeline, 1 prime timeline, 2 mafia timeline

role-cards (as shared in the discord hub)

You are a Good Timeline! You currently do not have any powers. However, if the Prime Timeline is killed or eliminated, you have a chance of obtaining their role!

You, along with the Prime Timeline, must defeat all Evil Timelines.

You are the Prime Timeline!

If you die your role will be immediately passed onto another Good Timeline, unless your role would exist in a F5/F3 scenario.

Your role has the following abilities, depending on the number of times your role has been passed onto a Good Timeline.

Deaths during the day do not count.

Initial abilities: Odd/Even night tracker which automatically bodyguards whoever you track (if they are attacked, you are attacked instead).
One death: 1x Super-tracker without bodyguard (ignores ninja effect, charge is consumed only if you survive while using it)

You, along with the Good Timelines, must defeat all Evil Timelines.

You are an Evil Timeline! You have no individual powers, but your Evil Timeline faction does!

Your faction has the following abilities:
1x Ninja (make self untrackable, except for super-tracker)
2x Role-cop (does not detect who has the new Prime Timeline role if the previous one was killed the night of the check)

These factional abilities may be used alongside the factional kill, both of which are assigned to Evil Timelines. However, each Evil Timeline is limited to doing two things (both abilities and kills) at a time, unless you are the last surviving Evil Timeline. In which case, you may use everything simultaneously if you wish.

You also have a permanent chat with your allies:

You, along with your faction, must control at least half of the votes in the game or have nothing preventing that from happening.

Other stuff/notes:
(not much is changed here but if you need a refresher)

Please remember that there is always a game "Moderator On Duty" (MoD) or "Game Facilitator" assigned to every game on The Syndicate. They are there to listen to your problems during the game and can potentially assist you if you have any issues with another player or the host. Their purpose, in that regard, is to make the game more enjoyable for everyone involved while also more respectful if need be.
is it time for coffee?

Spoiler: show

Phases will be 48/24, with SoD/EoD at 8pm. You have a timestamp in the discord hub that will show the exact time in your timezone.

If the game approaches the holidays, living players may ask for a pause in the game which I will enact if there is enough consensus.

Elimination will be plurality only, because I'm not an omniscient being capable of running majority on this site.

Whatever I screenshot of the vote poll is final, don't be surprised if your last-second vote change isn't counted.

Ties will be decided by our long-time friend, RNGjesus, except where mafia winning the tie would instantly win the game for them.

Minimum 10 posts per day phase. They can be anything. Only one warning of this, then replacement. Modkill instead if no replacements immediately available. Prods outside of these will be given out at my discretion.

And finally:

Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.

[Link] Rules and Guidelines on The Syndicate

Also always be mindful of the culture of respect that must be maintained in all Syndicate spaces at all times, to include this game thread and any external communication spaces relating to the game. Players must be respectful to one another, to the game host, to the members of the staff overseeing the game, to the game itself by way of its rules and spirit, to the Syndicate community in general, and ideally also to themselves. Respect is never optional. See our full manifesto on our culture of respect below.

Sounds good.

I’m a good timeline, which is to say, the only timeline we need.

Someone asked me: if you could go back in time and change something, what would you change?

Honestly? Nothing. It ruins the future I have- and who knows…by changing something minor, I may not even have a future.

But as a close second, I would have gone back in time to an hour ago and said to the thread ‘Don’t immediately claim Prime’

scotty town because evil scotty already thinks through mech claiming tactics and knows it's WIFOM but also gives off the impression that he's knows it

town scotty just says the level 1 thing to help be a good townie even though he knows the WIFOM at play but also he's facepalming, which reads as an authentic interaction towards Epi

Waiting in the brush is basically "lurking" which doesn't inspire townie confidence, Pyxxy.

I could switch to voting DM but I don't think that's nearly as valuable to me as voting SVS, so I'm not gonna, but comparing with Severance ISO it's a stilted+less-self-aware opener and I don't like it
