The Syndicate

Thanks everyone for playing. I hope you enjoyed it.

You guys blocked her, which prevented element spawning.

Thank you for subbing in! I hope you will play more again with us.

I just had a gut read (and also I was part trolling you tbh) and I seriously couldn't get a spare moment to really search for a way to case you. The day that I started to I got lynched.

Fun game though nonetheless. I had purged you the night before I got lynched so you were pretty close to lynched that day I think.

This lynch came very close to happening.

thellama73 was Henter Jallaford and targeted you first.

The other two did not.
I knew we were playing with fire keeping him alive so long.

His action failed like three times in a row though.

I actually never asked, would it have gone through if I had sent it in right before my lynch? I probably should have, but I think I was busy and not thinking Really wish I had stuck around longer, but meh, kinda my fault.

It would not, since you were dead.

Did you know you could have used the Kill ( ) function to murder someone...or not use it at all and prevent a kill from happening? I thought you would be burning that power early on.

DrumBeats wrote:It had said "First attempt" so that was what I meant. Now that I think about it though, it wouldn't have been possible anyway, because I just realized that it only would've worked had they shot him on the final night. My bad!

Nope- I misunderstood what you said there, pal.

DFaraday was never lynched and never targeted for a Night kill, so he could still keep trying to protect himself. That's all I meant.

Where does it say DFaraday's ability was "one-shot?" He got to be protected from a lynch or a kill every phase.

Luna was the same as Fetch. The one time tracking was useless there.

nijuukyugou wrote:OH and how 'bout that that stupid poll with only three names actually was one of each alignment??

agleaminranks (Wave Tennegan) voted MovingPictures07, who tapped into his power, targeting four adjacent names...and DrWilgy pulled one of those four off, leaving three.

How fun was that?

The biggest mystery to me is why the most powerful ability in the game went unused: See Turn ( ).

Vompatti as Fetch explains so much And I enjoyed playing with Abigail! Who were the other socks?? Like, in order?

They will have to claim them, because I'm on vacation and didn't even bring my notes with me.

If memory serves:

Cell was Abigail
Cheerleader was Scotty
Fetch was Vompatti
Badcell and Weed was thellama73
Young Lady was sig
Man was Matt (who fucked up the chatzy like hell- it was hilarious)

I think that's it...?

Thanks for the game!

You were insane with those things. Please do not move next door to me.

What you did with Snapshot was...brilliant.

Super neat. That's something I had never considered. Which one of you was Cheerleader?

Thanks for playing with us Simon and Abigail.

That was Scotty.

Simon is my 8-year-old son, for those who do not know. He came into play because his mother got lynched (see her description).

He thought talking like a dog would be hilarious.

DrumBeats wrote:Great game mafia, especially 3J who did a great job distancing himself from the rest until the very end when it was no longer necessary. Especially in manipulating those final phases into the best case scenario for the mafia, I wish I was around to try to argue you on the element lynch but sadly I don't think it would've resolved in my favor anyway.

The major lesson from endgame here imo are that if both factions need to eliminate a third party to win, and there is an easy way to work together on it, it needs to happen. I was a broken record about it the whole game, but the elements that remained put us in a bad position late game.

Sad to see that I had flipped Nijuu and 3J but at the same time the order I wanted to lynch it wouldn't have mattered. I wish people had hopped onto my suspicions of K4J as well, but I can see why Nijuu was pushing 3J, likely having snapshotted him.

They didn't. Fetch tracked him when he carried out a kill.

DrumBeats wrote:Excited to see the exact nature of the elusive process, as well as the identity of Luna. My theory on Snapshot is that the player roles that got publically revealed were its doing, as I was Olmarq, and I'm relatively sure I was checked at some point.

Check those roles again!

DrumBeats wrote:Great game balance imo Epi, and the process mechanic was cool. It worked as I believe it was meant to, late game powerhouse if left ignored.

Thank you for playing and the kind words.

I believe this game would have been a completely different monster if everyone had heeded your words of wisdom. The Process was designed so that both sides could recognize the threat that it was and cooperate, or be greedy and go for ruin...just like in the game.

The Process- nijuukyugou
Elements were anybody the Camerata Night killed. Hence, sig became the first element. These Night killed people lost their allegiance to Cloudwalk and won with The Process. In all but one case when an element was Night killed, they substituted back into new accounts. The only exception was Fetch, who was...Vompatti. My daughter Abigail was Cell. She's six.

That's not what I heard in BTSC.

Cloudwalk
Must defeat the Camerata and destroy The Process.

Red
Turn ( )- As the wielder of the Transistor, you can one time execute a Turn phase, which locks the thread at Night and will activate any four functions of your choice that you may use at once against any targets of your choosing. These are the only four functions that will go through that Night. Turn ( ) cannot be prevented by any means.

Crash ( )- Crash makes your target more vulnerable to other attacks; if anyone targets the same person as you the same Night, the latter will be affected by that same function two Nights in a row, if applicable. Humming is optional.

Subject Not Found
Breach ( )- Cutting through and stunning multiple targets, Breach will block your target as well as your target’s target, if applicable. Keep figuring it out.

Lillian Platt
Spark ( )- Negotiation is important, and you have found a way to spark discussion through physics. Spark creates a lovely, safe place for you to discuss things with your target, and your target can stay there all Day. This facilitates problem solving.

Niola Chein
Bounce ( )- Sometimes others deserve the best. Bounce someone’s action to someone else each Night.

Wave Tennegan
Load ( )- This idea is so big, you only get to use it once! Load will remove everyone from the poll except four adjacent names. You choose the targeted area.

Preston Moyle
Jaunt ( )- With great speed comes great responsibility! You can escape the first attempt on your life, whether by lynch or kill, but you must choose each Night what you will be safe from during the next phase.

Shomar Shasberg
Mask ( )- We all wear masks? Well, no...the only people wearing them are the ones you gave them to, by removing one individual from the next Day’s poll. You can remove yourself once.

Henter Jallaford
Ping ( )- The powers of deduction are yours. You will reveal your target’s role abilities on the front page.

Farrah Yon-Dale
Switch ( )- Others might fear The Process, but you have something for that. Switch one element of The Process each Night, and you will have control over it the next Day.

Maximilias Darzi
Purge ( )- The world must be purged of imperfections to be aesthetically acceptable. Purge will cause your target to take 2 votes, then 1 vote, and then 0 votes, in that order.

Bailey Gilande
Get ( )- People imply you have a magnetic personality. Get more powerful by receiving the ability of the Day’s dead for use that Night.

Olmarq
Cull ( )- Taking risks is what it’s all about, but it’s better when your opponent takes the most risk. Cull all those who target you, making their received votes worth 1.5 the next Day.

The Camerata
Must process Cloudwalk and destroy The Process
One of them may use Kill ( ) instead of the standard function

Asher Kendrell
Void ( )- Some people do not know what is best for themselves. Void your targets’ activity each Night and require that they think carefully about their actions, for there could be unintended consequences.

Grant Kendrell
Tap ( )- Consolidating power is what administration is all about. Tap into that power and temporarily absorb one of the abilities of anyone who voted for you that Day.

Sybil Reisz
Help ( )- People can always use your assistance, whether they know it or not. You can summon a friendly badcell on two occasions. If you are lynched, you will inadvertently summon help for Cloudwalk.

Royce Bracket
Flood ( )- Sometimes…people can be…contagious. People can be contagious. Whoever targets your target the same Night will be silenced and unable to vote while they recover.

The Process

The Process
The Process will manifest itself in multiple ways.
The Process itself is immune to Kill ( ), and must be lynched to die. If The Process is lynched, all residual processes will die.

Cell- Vote is worth 0.

Badcell- Vote is worth 1.

Creep- Vote is worth 1, but may vote secretly by PM instead

Jerk- Blocks. Vote is worth 0.

Young Lady- If lynched, it leaves behind a shadow for one phase. The shadow cannot vote.

Weed- Vote is worth -1.

Cheerleader- Protect a Process element from all Night actions. Vote is worth 0.

Snapshot- Role check. Vote worth 1.

Fetch- Tracks one time. Vote worth 1.

Clucker- Remove half the names from the poll one time. Vote is worth 0.

Man- Cannot be lynched or killed. Man inherits Kill ( ) from the Camerata. Vote is worth 0.

Operator- Reuse any dead process element (x1); vote is worth 0.

Endgame: Paper Boats

Looks like you were right, Red. We can run but we can't hide.

Luna has been killed by The Camerata.

The Camerata have gained control of Cloudwalk and The Process.

Congratulations to kneel4justice, MovingPictures07, Elohcin, and JaggedJimmyJay!

Font Colors

The citizens of Cloudwalk have commented favorably in recent weeks on the necessity of maintaining different colored fonts for different purposes. The latest color with overwhelming approval (99% as of this evening) is red, used for obituaries and revealing irrelevant thoughts from the deceased. We will make sure moving forward that these colors remain in use. We will also ensure that the deceased are unable to vote in polls or otherwise disrupt the voting process.
