Frog here from Mafia Universe

Welcome to The Syndicate, Frog! We're glad to have you.

Now just Sloonei, right? Let's start this thing.

Question for the mod - are we playing this true semi-open style for the C12? Or are you picking and announcing the vertical/horizontal setup before hand?

Welcome Frog.

It is my understanding that the randomized selection is meant to remain unrevealed, and that is my intention. I'll select the setup before the game, but never openly state what it is -- players will be left to figure that out on their own if they so desire. Is this what you anticipate happening in the MU tournament?

Start dat game

I look forward to watching it! I thought about playing, but I am a poor role hinter/claimer. I would be zero challenge for you guys

I'll get it started as soon as I'm able, y'all. Just sorting out the technical business first.

Awesome! In the OP, can you tell us how to:
1) Vote
2) Check vote counts
3) Check post counts

Sorry, I'm a newbie here :-)

Would also appreciate a message with respect to start times.

I'm assuming we're going with tournament rules and times?

e.g. weekends are 1 day

Days are 36/12?

Oh yay, it's filled up! \o/

Question: How do you resolve mafia communication and night actions on this site?

Marco/Sloonei/Dyslexicon, good luck in the Championship!

I’ve learned the news about your community, Sloonei, shame that happened… but it may be back up soon Else I’m sure you’ll find yourselves welcome here or anywhere else.

Dyslexicon, I think I remember you from somewhere… the only game I ever played in PerC is Day 1 Cancelled, maybe that one?

Hey Frog

Looks like we are set, good luck for this game everyone!

I can do all of the above. The game will start today, and probably rather soon, once I have everything ready to go.

Day phases will be 36 hours long, 60 on weekends. Night phases will always be 12 hours long. However, because we're starting today and not tomorrow, those lengthened weekend days might be a bit different from what will be seen on Mafia Universe. I believe those weekend phases end on Sunday Night, but ours will instead end on Saturday Night. That's just the way it has shaken out here. All the champions should heed that and be prepared to check the proper schedule when their official games get underway.

Hey guys, actually the start is probably going to have to wait until this evening at the earliest. I've just returned home to Ohio after 3.5 years overseas, and people are pulling at me in all directions to Do Things.

Someone in the family just showed up actually and I have to go now. I am sorry for the delay and I appreciate your patience. I'll adjust the deadline as necessary to accommodate whatever start time we end up with. We'll get started soon, I promise.

Understood. Hope you have fun with family.

This may be a good way to tune this game's schedule with MU. I understand that Syndicate does things differently, but for it to be a true scrimmage it might be a better idea to follow MU's day-night schedule in order to simulate the Championship enviroment as much as possible, and this delay can be yet another reason to attempt that.

What a jerk, this guy.

Thank you!

And no, I didn't play that one, cause I suspected the mechanics to be too crazy.
But I think I remember seeing your name around now that you mention it.

This may be a good time to mention I have a crazy busy day tomorrow. I'm in GMT+2 and too lazy to brain how that fits into game start, but in any case I should have much more free time from tomorrow evening and onwards.

I'm not gonna be able to put in a max effort this game but I should be fine to do things enough to not be a low-poster.

Reminds me of that one time Jay said he was going to be a relative no-show in Talking Heads before going on to set the Syndicate post count record for a single game.

You are welcome!

I see. I also did, but I like crazy mechanics from time to time :P
Same, this is why I asked.

Same timezone! Really nice. I'm from Greece.

I'm okay with this if it works for the players. It'd mean starting the game tomorrow morning. How does everyone feel about that?

Woohoo, we're full!

As I mentioned earlier, and like Sloonei, this isn't an optimal time for me to be playing mafia since it's the last couple weeks of the semester, but given the addict I am I'm sure I won't be a low poster by any means.

I'm fine with starting tomorrow morning; actually, that timing is ideal for me.

I'm working tonight, so I wouldn't be able to play until tomorrow morning anyway.

@Dyslexicon

I've never played with you, but I can already tell you'll be fierce whatever rolls

Why is my avatar not working

I just checked,and I don't see that you have uploaded one.

If it is an online link, I might be able to put it up for you.

#Fives

Only Ika gets this but FTW

There you go, you got it

So it looks like we'll have seven or so Champions, present or former, depending on f a few here are the finalized representative.
