The Syndicate

As amazing as mafia is, RL always > Mafia, so I figured that's probably why those players said No, but it's worth trying to see if we can get any of them nonetheless. I had to miss out on Recruitment III due to an incredibly hectic RL (teaching, tax season, PhD applications, among other things), so I'm extra pumped for this one.

We need:
Boogs
BF
Canucks
Kyle
Bree
FH
Lent
Mata
Zelda
Vomps
Zombie

Agreed 100% on all of those!

That said, Vomps would make an interesting addition. People will be WIFOMing all over the place asking "Who in their right mind would recruit Vomps?" "But that's why he'd be such an ideal recruit!", etc.

I sent BF and Boogs messages on Facebook. I assume the hosts might have been in contact with some of the others on that list (FH, Canuck, etc.) if they've been reaching out to folks. I'll see if I can round up some myself.

Haven't seen Lent in forever. Anyone heard from her?

Alright, I am off to work. I expect 40 players when I get home.

I asked vomps on facebook when this went into sign ups, and he said no.

I tried.

HOLY MAGILACUTTY! I just looked up what the shit I'm getting into and damn, this is an involved game. Just reading through the last one, I've learned that that LongCon guy and that BlackRock gal sure know how to make a complex game! This might be the precipice of my mafia experience so far, and I hope I don't get overwhelmed. But with ~40 roles with secret agendas, recruiting people left-right-and-four-days-south-of-Sunday, I feel like playing this game will be like pinning the tail on the donkey.

If this starts this week, I have to apologize if I'm not fully on it, but I'll be coming back into swing in time!

It doesn't start this week, dude.

It starts tomorrow.

35 people signed up...bruh.

I think it should start tonight.

Get some of these people, Roxy (and others). Unfortunately I can't contact them from work. And what about Sophie?

Dunno if I should sign up. Not sure if I'll be able to make the time to do this game justice

I wrote Belshy to join, but he's too busy harvesting souls.

This would be the perfect game for Snow Dog to come out of retirement.

LinkI: so many people I don't know that are still (presumably) mafia veterans.

Indeed! I mentioned it Snowy on Facebook, haven't heard from him yet though.

And Heiots for that matter.

First time since I've joined the syndicate that I may actually have the advantage over many people in terms of knowing everyone. It's epic.

I wish Heiots would play!!!! :wub:

Speaking of mafia veterans, it's a shame Diamond Dog isn't playing this.

I am SO please Sorsha is playing, and ReyRey too

I would love to see Sophie if we can round her up, as well as BF and/or Boogs.

Okay, look. I'm home from work. I have a chili dog, some cheese fries and a beer. This game is full. And yet I have no mafia games to play. What's the hold up, people?

The Hostess was perfectly clear.

Yes, she said it will not start before the 17th. It is not before the 17th.

We need more players.

omg pls


I tried enrique too but he's a nub

BR and LC should just send roles to aapje as well as anyone on that list who's registered at this site already.

If they haven't said no in the poll, then clearly they're able to play, right?

Pleased to be playing again! I just did a LOST rewatch and it made my nostalgic for the old mafia crew.

On a sadder note my father in law just passed away so tomorrow I have an 8 hour drive ahead of me as I travel to Michigan. I'll be there through the weekend and while I *will* be participating during that time i just want everyone aware incase my participation seems lacking a bit.

I am so sorry to hear that. My condolences to you & your family.

Fear not all you players who will have trouble participating these first few days of this game (Scotty, Sorsha, etc). I will compensate for all of you.

Yes, he'll vote for himself so you don't have to

And I'm going to be out of town Friday-Tuesday, so I want to get going now so I get as much playing in before then anyway.

Can we start now, guys?

tell him he's an anti-emo homophobic jerk.

I just got home from work, I thought I'd be earlier but I wasn't.

Sign ups are now closed and aapje didn't say no so I will not accept no any longer.

Before anything else I want to say OMG!!! I am loving this player list. I love to see old friends come back to play with new friends. I hope everyone learns to love to hate some of them.

Also, I'm putting out to those who voted no, please let me know if you can possibly me a potential replacement. Just in case.

Ok, I finished writing the opening post. Sorry it's a long one, but I just wanted to set the scene a little. If you don't want to read it all, then that's fine.

It's about to begin.

@MM, golden, Dom I can't commit, but I'll be rooting for you all.

would anyone who is familiar with the full roster mind doing one of those handy gender lists early in the game or before it? i'd prefer not refer to someone with the wrong pronouns if possible

The only one I'm not 100% sure of is DrWilgy since I haven't played with them before. So if someone verifies me there, that'd be great.

Wilgy is male.

Would have asked this about a few players myself, but thanks JJJ and MP. Though I wonder, how will SVS eyeball me, now?

Can we play mafia now, guys?

GAAAAAAAAME!!! pls

FYI, I will be out of town the night of the 23rd through probably midday/evening of the 26th next week. But I will do my best to keep up on my phone while away.
