The Syndicate

The information for the game is here. Be advised that I may tweak a few things.

I've got a giant wallet.

In!

I was so a Zelda addict when it first came out on the first NES console. In

Hell yes. I've played all the games but one.

Definitely in.

Yup.

And now I must admit a shameful secret...

I've never played any Legend of Zelda game.

I can sub when I die early in monopoly.

yay I wanted to play this one badly, So glad it's up now before I go back on mafia break

Must. Resist.

I love that song.

I should mention that this game will include puzzles of various sorts: Musical puzzles, logic puzzles, geometric puzzles, linguistic puzzles and more.

There is also more than one way to win, regardless of your alignment: You could acquire all three Triforces and win no matter what.

What if you kill all the gold skulltullas? Is that considered a win?

Or if you collect all the masks?

Or if you write such a good song on the ocarina that the wandering scarecrow decides to become your producer and help you make it big in the entertainment biz?

Oh the possibilities...

Will the puzzles be required? this is already looking like it might be more complicated then I like, but I do love the theme so I will try.

I'm so in.

I would never!

Nothing in my game is required. You can even miss votes if you want without penalty.

To make things clearer:

Day phases operate like typical Day phases. Lynch someone. As you can see, however, there are roles and items that affect votes.

Night phases involve PMs getting sent as usual. However, there will also be a labyrinth (from the game) posted. Don't worry- you don't have to navigate it! You will merely choose a room (by voting coordinates) and, if you are civilian, the rupees you find will go to Ganon who gets to spend them to upgrade civilian roles. If you are Mafia, the rupees will be yours to purchase items. If you are Zola, your rupees...well...

In addition, each Night will have a puzzle of some kind. Solve them for more rupees. In this way, Night phases offer a blend of skill and luck for getting money.

Finally, there will be three events. The winner of each event earns a Triforce. If you get all three, you automatically win the game as an invincible independent. No matter what happens.

Long story short, this will be more complicated for me than it will be for you.

OK, I'm sold.

Ya k

Who will be the magnificent seven to come riding into Hyrule with the rest of these fine adventurers?

^I wish!

Ooooh! This looks amazing! I'm in for sure!

Pleased to have you Russ.

Now that there is more info this sounds even more exciting. Can't wait for this to begin. I've played a little here and I've watched people play so I have a super basic knowledge of Zelda games.

Yeah, I am excited too! Let's get this game going. We only need 6 more people!

Also, this post filled me with happiness. Glad to see you around these parts again, good sir!

Also, just to start game-related conversation and out of curiosity: Which Zelda games has everyone here played, if any?

At MP's urging, I'm in now

Prepare to be hassled to fuck with questions, Epig, as I don't know anything about these games. Though I'm assured Zelda is a character.

Just the two on the Nintendo 64 platform: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Zelda's a baddie, so be ready for that.

I never had a console growing up (strictly PC games) so I have not actually played a Zelda game. I ate Zelda cereal though!

MovingPictures07 wrote:Also, just to start game-related conversation and out of curiosity: Which Zelda games has everyone here played, if any?

You don't even know what you've done.

I've played all except Zelda II (wasn't really interested in the side-scrolling weirdness), Four Swords (or anything holding that name), and any DS game due to my lack of funds to purchase said DS (I don't count the awful CD-i atrocities as actual games, and neither should anyone else. Yeah, I said it). My brothers used to play the shit outta A Link to the Past but I didn't get into it until much later when I fell in love with Ocarina of Time. Like, obsessively in love. Like, separation anxiety from letting Epi borrow my special disc with the game on it that I got for some promotion.

(It's okay, Bobby Brown - I still have the N64 version. I'll survive, and you need to play this game.)

Of all the geekdoms that ever graced the Earth to geek, Zelda is my absolute favorite. I will talk about that awesomeness all. Day. Long.

I have played the The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, and A Link to the Past. Nijuu was kind enough to let me borrow The Ocarina of Time, which she assures me is a must play.

I said the same thing to her about Bioshock, but she won't touch that with a ten foot ADAM needle.

Wikipedia says she's a damsel in distress. I'm voting Metalmarsh :P

Damsels in distress are frequently manipulative and deceitful baddies.

Well, yeah, she kinda is.

And this is a reverse-mafia, so she's still a baddie.

Both awesome and my personal two favorites. But I haven't played them all, only spectated a good amount of them, and played a few myself (didn't necessarily beat them either).

More on this in response to Blooper.

It absolutely is a must-play.

And as is Bioshock. I can vouch for that. My favorite video game of all time... and I'm not much for shooters AND I'm squeamish. So if that isn't an amazing sell that one must play it, I don't know what is.

Totally awesome.

I grew up with the N64, so Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were important entries into my childhood. My brother and I, when we were little, would watch my father play the former more so, during Christmas break. So much fun. As my brother grew older, he started to get into the games himself. I always thought they were super neat, but I was always more of a Mario and other games kind of guy, though I still have a soft spot for Zelda. But my brother has played all of the proper entries since Ocarina of Time (he's too young to appreciate the NES and SNES properly, sadly), many good memories watching him play and such. Wind Waker had its drawbacks, but still loved that one. Skyward Sword seemed amazing, I didn't get to spectate as much of that one as I'd have liked though, since by the time that one came out my life was way busier.

I just always had a hard time with the puzzle aspects, and always found my video game strongpoints to be elsewhere, but I have a deep respect for the Zelda series nonetheless.

While I'm too late for this to happen THIS evening... totally on it. Everyone else should be too.

I didn't grow up with a video game system (except atari), so I never got to enjoy them as a kid. However, I bought a nintendo along with the games later in life and have enjoyed them immensely. They are easily my favorite N64 games, and possible my favorite video games ever. It's too bad I lent my N64 to a friend last spring, and she disappeared of the face of the earth with it.

MP i have played all of the Zelda games except Spirit Train.

I will happily replace in because I love Epi's games, but I am trying to stick to my new one game at a time rule for now.

Wow, that sucks.

Nice! Which one is your favorite?

When keys and I had our mini Zeldathon, he started with one game (honestly don't remember what it's called because I only helped a little on the parts he couldn't see well) then I played Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and started Majora's Mask. I went on vacation or something so never got around to finishing but would like to pick it back up when I get a chance. I got a copy of a Zelda for wii game ( I think it's called twilight princess?) but haven't started yet)
I think I liked the Ocarina of Time the best. I liked Epona and of course playing the ocarina! Wind waker was cool too. I liked that little fish that helped fill in your map, but I think I had a harder time navigating controls for that one. (I played on pc with a controller and emulator)

Ocarina of Time is a classic for every reason. What a fantastic game.

Wind Waker was underrated, IMO.

And yeah, if it's for the Wii it's either Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.

I loved the storyline for Wind Waker, and just recently replayed it a few months back. The only issue I really had with it was the tediousness of finding those damned maps in the end, paying up the butt to Tingle, and then going back out to find the danged Triforce pieces. I remember Ganon was hard as hell to beat the first time I played it (it took me several tries) but super fun. Loved the combat mechanics in that game, and I'm glad they've continued to provide and improve on that in the later 3D games I've played.

I love how dark Twilight Princess is, and even though she's not particularly helpful with bad guys, Midna is definitely my favorite sidekick (I do love sass when it's not directed at me ) Skyward Sword was also an incredible game. There are parts of it that scare the bejeezus out of me because I'm a wimp (this is why I won't play the aforementioned Bioshock. I could barely watch Epi and son play it :P )

Might buy a 3DS with some bonus money this year, might not. But I really wanna play A Link Between Worlds, because...why wouldn't I? I hear it's excellent. Anyone played it?

Only five more people will get to be immersed in a world danger, intrigue, puzzles, nightmarish creatures, meddlesome humanoids, and quite possibly the burden of financial responsibility.
