The Syndicate

Mafia of Montreal
A Variety of Whimsical Murder


The Gay Parade Civvies (5)
Must kill all Gay Parade baddies to win.

Claude Robert:
I'd like to thank you for spending time with the gay parade.
Secretly the lead singer of Elf Power. Claude Robert checks a player every day to reveal if they're a member of The Gay Parade. If he finds any members of The Gay Parade, he will learn their alignment.

Fun Loving Nun:
So much wonderful love for everyone!
She has one lynch switch OR a lynch stop.

Jacques Lemure:
He longs to give his life saving a nice old man and his wife.
Every night, Jacques will put himself at risk by trading places with a different player.

Miniature Philosopher:
He stands five foot three so no one takes him seriously.
His vote in the poll doesn't count. His role will be revealed upon his death, even if he is nightkilled.

Nickee Coco:
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep, very peaceful in her invisible tree.
Nickee is immune to all night powers for the first three nights of the game.


Coquelicot Civvies (5)
Must kill all Coquelicot baddies to win.

Coquelicot:
Oh oh oh, is that Coquelicot peering through the poppies, peeping through the poppies?
Every night, will snoop on a different player, and learn who they targeted or who they were targeted by during the night.

Isabell:
Isabell would you like to tell about the bell hidden inside your name?
Protects a player every night. She receives two additional votes against her for every post she makes after receiving her first vote on any Day phase.

Rose Robert:
You draw on your moustache while I powder my nose.
Vanilla. Will appear as a random member of The Gay Parade to any role checkers.

Detective Dullight:
In his brain there are file cabinets and secretaries filing their nails downstairs.
Searches for Coquelicot players every night. If his target is a member of The Gay Parade, they will become insanified. If his target is from Coquelicot, Detective Dullight will learn their alignment and become insanified himself.

Penelope:
Penelope shoot the apple off my head, I need to go to the store to get some sleep.
Penelope has one night kill that she may use at any point in the game.



The Gay Parade Baddies (3)
Have BTSC. Must kill all The Gay Parade civvies to win. The odd night kill passes down from Hector to William to Meg.

Hector Ormano:
Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer. He goes smasho and everyone cheers.
Kills on odd nights.

William Moss:
He wishes he were boss, so he could fire that scoundrel William Moss.
Role blocks on even nights.

Megan Blanchard:
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand his dear Meg to take his hand.
Will appear as a random camp/alignment to role checkers..


Coquelicot Baddies (2)
Have BTSC. Must kill all Coquelicot civvies to win. The even night kill passes down from Mimi to Lecithin.

Mimi Merlot:
Mimi Merlot you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that I know!
Kills every even night, and silences a player on odd nights (unless they suck her finger... like thisss). Secrets.

Lecithin E.:
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes. oh no oh no oh no oh no.
Insanifies a player every night with his experiments. Once in the game, the insanified player may be recruited to the Coquelicot Baddies. The player will take over the team's kill, but won't have BTSC with the other two or be aware of their identities.


Indie (3)

Tulip Baroo:
I don't know what to make of you, you're in charge of every coup that the feds set out to do.
Every night, Tulip Baroo will be presented with three statements, two lies and one truth. He can then choose one of those statements to share with whoever targets him that night; if it's the true one, he won't be affected. Unaligned member of The Gay Parade; he will appear as a civvie on odd nights and a baddie on even nights, but he can win with either team.

The Repudiated Immortals (2):
The creator of what's now cliché had some funny words to say, "All you little things are incomplete."
Have BTSC with each other. One cannot be lynched on odd days or nightkilled on even nights, and viceversa the other. Secrets.

I made some small adjustments to the roles, so even if you read them before, better double check.

Players:

1. a2thezebra
2. Black Rock - Lynched Day 6. Mimi Merlot.
3. Boulders - Lynched Day 2. Tulip Baroo.
4. Dana - Modkilled Day 8.

Alive: 4
Dead: 14

Rules:

1. Remember, and this goes especially to the new people. No BTSC. This means you may only talk about the game, post about the game on threads about the game. Each BTSC team has their own subforum where they may talk to each other, but that's it, no one may discuss the game outside of the specified threads. Any questions go on the threads or directly to me.
2. No role outing. If you got an alignment-checking role, that's awesome, and you may use that information to influence the thread but never tell anyone what your role or somebody else's is. Be creative, find a different way to use that information to your benefit.
3. No double targeting. You can't use your power on the same player for consecutive nights, no sir.
4. Goes without saying, but don't be an asshat. If you have any problems with the way another player is behaving, you can take it to me or Epignosis (our moderator!), but don't derail the thread. Remember: we're playing a game here, don't make it personal.

Neither the flowers on the hill
or the moonlight on the sea
Have ever looked so blue
And everything looks new again
In that old familiar way

The view from my room
of the ships on the bay
Had come to bore me through and through
But they suddenly seem new again
In that old familiar way

The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree
Had long gone unnoticed by me
I'm stunned by what now I finally see
It's amazing the wonders you can find
Just by stepping outside

There's a skip in my step a divine state of joy
In everything I do
Cause I am feeling new again
In that old familiar way

When I'm awoken from my dreams
by a cuckoo on the roof
I always join in too
And every sound sounds new again
In that old familiar way

The life I used to know
when I was busy always on the go
Left me with nothing to show
Now I feel that I can honestly say
I'm living a suitable life
I'm glad I finally got it right

Welcome to the Gay Parade

If you received your role, you may post. If you haven't then pls hold on, this shouldn't take me long.

I be here

Yep. And take it out on me first. If you have any issues of any sort, please send me a private message. I'll help you sort out whatever is the matter.

I'm here.

You're all nubs

When I google all nubs, this is what I get.

I'm here, whether the poll says so or not

when i signed up for this i thought it was going to be about continuously disappointing hockey performance what is all this colourful crap

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!

I thought I knew an Of Montreal song, but I forget what it is. :nod:

ayy. a selection of my favorite smilies from this site's collection thereof?

v impressive

idk man this game is all about their weird old stuff. too hipster for me. i only care about their latest 8 albums

Yo whatup homies. Can we organize a listen-along to the album(s) this game is based on? It seems like it would be cool.

ekeknat wrote:ayy. a selection of my favorite smilies from this site's collection thereof?

I'm a big fan of myself.

But tonight calls for some .

Here! I've never heard of this band prior to this game, but their Wikipedia page is interesting, to say the least.

I think we should kill Typh first because no one would suspect it was SVS

I mean, oops. Yay Gay Prod Parade!

I'm here and I'm queer! That is what this is about right?

Scotty wrote:I think we should kill Typh first because no one would suspect it was SVS

Oh wow. This is embarrassing as shit, I am so sorry for you. I've been there before, and it sucks.

So anyway I guess this means the current plan is lynch Scotty followed by S~V~S?

OR S~V~S is NOT your teammate and you did this deliberately so that when we lynch you and you flip bad we go after next and lynch a civilian, (or at least someone who's not on your team) although that seems a bit drastic just to get one player lynched.

Scotty wrote:I mean, oops. Yay Gay Prod Parade!

You should have just played it straight and made WIFOM out of it. That "oops" just confirmed that you did not mean to post that there. Copy-paste mistake or what?

I kinda thought it was a bad joke since he made the "oops" post like 37 seconds later, but OK.

Right, that is absolutely the correct interpretation...S~V~S. What wonderful timing for you to correct me.

Look at my posts, I cluster around this time since I leave for work around 7:15.

Game already trashed lol, thanks Scotty.

And "joke" was the assumption I made, yes, since I know he had issues with that during the LOST game. But tbh I would rather get this over with sooner rather than later, so feel free to lynch me.

I come on site about 6:30, take care of admin stuff & now my game, and then if I am playing, I post.

Damn, this suuuuuuuuuuucks. Can we just start the game over? It's so early on and for this to be the first thing to happen is so lame.

All in favor that we start over with new role cards say I.

YOu were the one building Mount Molehill

Now I am starting to view this as a way for you & Scotty to set me up. OK, going to work. Hasta la vista.

Oh so you're in fact not conceding that I'm dead right about this? I thought the hasty "go ahead and lynch me" thing was admitting that. Okay, this is fine too. I just got the impression that you were admitting that this is in fact what happened with the "dammit Scotty trashing the game thing" and the not denying that what he implicated is in fact the case thing. Did I misread you in more ways than one?

I'm not just being a bitch, I literally thought that this post was conceding that Scotty did in fact make that post in the wrong place.

I like that you're not ready to give up though and start the game over. I also like how you've already got a plan to turn this on me as opposed to you when we lynch Scotty on Day 1 and he flips bad.

S~V~S wrote:YOu were the one building Mount Molehill

Sorry, I don't believe for a second that you are actually starting to view this that way. I myself denied that such a plan was likely when speculating that Scotty might have done it deliberately myself. Don't you think a player sacrificing himself just to lynch one other player outside of the hypothetical team is a little extreme? Maybe even a little stupid?

I don't think Scotty was being serious

The plot thickens, maybe I'm actually in the minority with this. I didn't think I would be since I'm usually the one to cry reaching when most people dish out scumslip accusations.

Why would he even post it in a thread at all?

That's a very good question.

Huh. I don't really know what to make of that. If I were Typh, then I'd be getting my affairs in order though!

Long Con wrote:Huh. I don't really know what to make of that. If I were Typh, then I'd be getting my affairs in order though!

Killing me Night 1 would clear SVS from being on that baddie team.

On the other hand, if they kill you, Long Con, then nobody will be cleared.

That's not true - Black Rock would be cleared.

Here finally. I'm always late to the good parties.

I'll be really upset if Scotty kills Typhoony night one. I never get to play with him. I haven't had a healthy "Typh is bad because." for a long time.

Seriously?

If I have to say something to Scotty, or you, or anyone, I have to say it in the thread. Which is what I did. He already did trash my game since I am having to deal with this over what I presume to be a joke. You are trying to hard to make this into something. If you think that that was actually a baddie slip, then vote for me. That's why we have a poll.

Well, when we actually have a poll, lol.

Is that... AM? How do you do it?!

Typhoony wrote:Why would he even post it in a thread at all?

The rules post says something about a subforum? I've only had BTSC once in a mafia game and it was in this like chatroom link thing, but maybe they changed the format of BTSC? No idea.

I have to be at work at about 7:30. I am NOT a morning person, so the getting up at 5:30 thing was a challenge at first. But it is nice being home and done with errands before most people get out of work, so I deal. But yeah.

And yes, I did not read the rules yet (that's next) but I do know that Enri liked the idea of hidden onsite chat threads like we have in the heists. So cross posting would be easier that way, although I have seen baddies with a regular chatroom offsite still crosspost, so I have also seen them think they were writing a PM when they were actually writing a post. I actually think I may have done that once, lol.

Oh man, that's so early! The real world is so scary. I have 8am classes every day this semester and I've been worried about making it through. Though I am starting to like that time early in the morning before anyone else is awake and you can just get ready and chill. Very peaceful.

So there's just another thread somewhere that's like this one but private? Also, what are heists?

The other private thread is usually a spectator thread, in my games with BTSC we had off site chat functions. Heists are smaller vanilla games.

lol I can't tell if Zebra used straight on purpose or not, but it is humorous.

I thought this was based around an old tv show/movie? Guess I was wrong.

Is this you attempting to make us thing you've got a boring civ role, but are really mafia?

On a more serious note, I don't see any pings in the brief back and forth between Zebra, SVS, and Typh.

a2thezebra trying really hard to make something out of nothing tbh.

Some games on here have used secret threads for baddie BTSC -- I was in one in Recruitment IV. So yeah it's totally possible Scotty legit slipped. Embarrassing.
