So, once we've completed our five cycles, are we officially no longer under a challenge, and free to post at will?

Indeed!

As much as joking around is fun, I think it would also behoove us to start mobilizing a plan and strategy for how we plan to work together and what we plan to do if we win or lose this challenge or a future challenge.

277 I think it might be kind of hard to plan what we will do if we lose because we don't know the nature of the challenges we're going to have to do. Some could be team challenges for example and the lynch might come from a losing team.

I for one would like to know why Prisoners 920077 and 640326 voted "No" in the poll. Don't they think we're evil enough to band together for a higher evil?

And what's with Prisoner 509378 not voting at all? Is he or she too much of a megalomaniacal iconoclast to conform to such a black and white question? Or did he or she simply forget to vote? Forgetfulness is not an enviable quality in a henchman I'm afraid.

Furthermore, can we trust this MovingPicture07 when he tells us that we can post at will after we reach our required quota? Look at what the Warden said:

Warden wrote:I believe in two things, discipline and the Bible. Here you'll receive both. Put your trust in the Lord. Your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Syndicate.

Your first prisoner challenge is as follows:

All prisoners must alternate posts, and each prisoner must post a minimum of 5 posts each.

Now get to work.

We were told to alternate posts and make a minimum of five posts each, not alternate posts until we've all accumulated a total of five. Interpretation is everything you know. I've learned that from running an evil multi-national corporation bent on global destruction. Is this MovingPictures07 trying to "hose us" perhaps?

The poll is not a part of this challenge. We were given specific instructions. Those instructions do not include voting in the poll. Those who've voted do so at their own risk and at the risk of all of us.

To be perfectly honest, I picked no in the poll because in some games whoever votes first in a poll gets a prize. I do not know that that would happen this time, but in case it does, why not let it be me?

The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

POST NUMBER FIVE
LET'S SPREAD LIKE BEES FROM A HIVE

I agree with the homie who suggested we don't jump to conclusions once we wrap up this challenge. Wait for the Warden to write with his tiny hands that restrictions are over, afterwards. We don't want any reverse psych bullshit coming from him.

I don't give a crap about the no- or non-voting in the poll. I only care if homies will slack off or work against us breaking out. Luckily, the few homies who pinged me a bit at the beginning of this challenge have since redeemed themselves. Keep it up.

List updated fully.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2016 7:06 am**

Mobile. Update list. Thanks.

Also, I voted no because I thought this would fail. Post this in the main game and there is no way everybody will post 5 times in 48 hours. I expected this to not be any different. Hopefully I was wrong.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2016 5:30 pm**

Since I have your complete and undivided attention due to the confines of today's challenge, it is time to unveil my evil plot.

What I propose is actually quite simple. You see, separately, we are little more than selfish individuals incapable of really doing much. Together, however, we could be a powerful team of empowering teammates.

How exactly can we do that? I'm glad you asked. So far as we know, only one of us is going to get pardoned. But we also know that we are about to be joined by other incoming prisoners. Seeing as we have been here the longest, why should we allow any of them to steal that pardon away from us?

You see, we should stick together as long as possible, the eleven of us. So far we have done a pretty frickin' good job of accomplishing the task at hand and I think we may just work well together in future random tasks. Why let the new blood swoop in and stand on our shoulders, usurping the progress we have made, only to steal the pardon away from us? I can see it now, one of them standing there, outside the prison walls, taunting us with 'I got your pardon! I got your pardon!'

So you see, what I am proposing is that we shank any newcomers before shanking any of us "old timers." Of course, I feel that shanking one of us would be acceptable if they intentionally or neglectfully cause us to fail at one of our random tasks. I'm perfectly prepared to go that route if necessary. I'm one crazy mo-fo. I had to pop a cop cause he wasn't giving me my props in Oaktown. No? I've heard that somewhere.

Once the pardon is up for grabs, things will understandbly descend into an everyone-for-him-or-herself free-for-all, at which point I wish you all the best of luck. You see, as a bald, pasty, washed-up supervillain with an unmistakably large scar on my face, I realize thay my chances of beating any of you are tiny.

I will do my best to make sure that whoever gets pardoned is one of the eleven of us, and most likely one of the ten of you. On top of it all, the pardon is almost certainly to take the non-incarcerated by complete surprise. Who would think such a turn of events is even probable?

That is why I am calling this plan Operation Improbably Victorious You, or as I like to call it for short, Operation IVY. If it can't be all eleven of us then it might as well be one of us.

What do you say, dawgs? Do we have a deal?

PS- Shazam, y'all! *puts pinkie to his mouth and smirks*

You have completed your task? Well, consider me surprised! You may now partake in regular discussions for the next hour and 45 minutes.

Don't celebrate though, tomorrow's task will crush your spirits. May God have mercy on y'all.

Prisoner 27whatevs' post sounds like a lot of Captain Obvious to me. Of course it is essential for us to stick together until we achieve prison break, after which it'll be every dawg for himself for obtaining the parole. So for now don't screw up the challenges and it's all good. Screw them up and say hello to my little breadcutting friend.

If there are two issues with the speech, it's the following:

a) The prisonverse appears to run in sync with the main game, hence the DAY 2 tags. Which would mean that at least one or two, if not more, of the prisoners here, could be dead mates from the gameverse. So the "newcomers" tag either applies to prisoners which will arrive after this "DAY 2" phase or it weirdly disregards the players who might be in here for a different reason than the ones who simply woke up in chains. Comprende?

b) If new prisoners arrive and we haven't completed our challenges, we'll need the newcomers' full cooperation on that as well.

So it's not entirely clear to me what motivation you were tried to pump into us, besides keeping up the good work, or how we should antagonise the newcomers, if they'll be included in our challenges.

I'm not going to post again until Day ends, just to be on the safe side. Wardens shouldn't be trusted. Poo that man.

I'm not going to concern myself with shanking people until it becomes necessary. Let's just continue nailing challenges and get our asses into that game thread. Good work on day 2 inmates.
