The Syndicate

I couldn't resist.

Look at these cool banners I made in Paint.

I assume LC will handle the banners, since that is his gig.

Here are all the audio files if you didn't get to hear them all and want to do so:

Arkham Asylum
Wayne Manor
Wayne Enterprises
Fish Mooney's
The Docks
Gotham City Police Department
City Hall
Park Row
Blackgate Penitentiary
Gotham City General Hospital

Speaking of old skool, this made me cackle like my name was Illy.

I read that riddle in the voice of Will Ferrell during final Jeopardy.

DharmaHelper wrote:Well you're no riddler but that's pretty funny.

I miss those little bad asses at the alternative school, not gonna lie. Worst thing about my job there was having to wear a tie.

DharmaHelper wrote:Literally schooled him.

I wrote down what I said afterward:

"Welcome to Florida
I hope I haven't bored ya
But for someone so indigenous
You're awfully oblivious
To these rhymes I'm laying down
My adjectives, verbs, and nouns
You see I'm into language arts
So sit back while I spit my part
It's the art of the word
More powerful than the sword
So what's good, what's up, what's the issue?
This man talkin about how hard he is
When in fact he's soft as Charmin toilet tissue"

I could've kept going but the kids lost it and declared me their savior. It was a good day.

For me.

His name was Marwin. The kids called him Charmin Marwin when I was done.

Same here.
Thanks to you both. That means a lot and I really appreciate it .

Now I can go back into semi-retirement for a bit with a good feeling. Don't expect me to play any big games for a while, work doesn't allow me to keep up in the early stages of the game.
Semi-retirement is acceptable. No one needs to retire and never come back, that's silly and a little too dramatic for my taste. I lost my job and moved back in 2012 and my life totally changed, and I had no room in it for Mafia... so I took a break. No big goodbyes, just "no time right now" and I was gone for a bit. Then, when my life had stabilized, I came back.

Never goodbye... just "smell ya later".

Excellent post.

Sorsha accidentally sent her PM to me and TH instead of me and LC.

I think you should come out for Mortal Kombat.

You guys do realize that the poisoning was fake, right?

I don't know why some of you independents didn't just target the shit out of non-players.

Bullzeye wrote:Can't sleep. Can't believe how badly I screwed things up. I'm seriously just the worst.

I was surprised you (given your role) came out so strongly against someone. I would have thought you would have just hung back a little and let things play out.

Enrique wrote:I want to play a game like this again. What do you have for us next, Epi?

MetalMarsh89 and I have Spirited Away in sign ups. He's mainly hosting, but I helped design it.

If you want something twisted, how about Mortal Kombat by nijuukyugou and me? It will be in after a while, but it's going to be a nasty little spider.

And I know you like more faction-oriented stuff (heh, Orient): So there will be Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Go for it. I am swamped.

Enrique wrote:
DharmaHelper wrote:I was so nervous I was gonna get crowed before endgame. I almost intentionally got myself lynched since I could win dead or alive.
I wanted to blow the game open. I needed a Falcone win to make sure Montoya was dead, so I was gonna stall the game as much as possible. Tonight (or tomorrow, depending on the lynch's result) I was gonna "slip up" and post a fake BTSC message implying I was Thorne, getting some of my biggest suspects out of the way ("we should get Bullzeye lynched" etc, also saying I'd kill MP and hoping the mafia would follow ). Then the following day I was either going to be lynched, or maybe try to sway the thread to get Dom/Lorab for good before the Mafia. Once I was lynched, I had an extra life I won solving the mystery so y'all would have had to spend two days on me. That would've opened the Lazarus Pit, hopefully bringing more baddies back that you'd have to spend your lynches on. I wanted to do this so badly smh.

SVS why didn't you want to be my friend?

Enrique solved the audio logic puzzle first, and won a protection.

I know, I thought about the same thing but I thought Mr. Freeze was still alive and would turn into a serial killer if I died.

I have to say this:

juliets silenced two people in a row who got killed, and though she was killing people! It was awesome. That's why she didn't silence anyone for a while.

Bruce Wayne
During the Day, Bruce Wayne conducts business. At Night, he is Batman. *Secrets*
Utilities:

Batarang: Redirects a Night action.
Gas Pellets: Incapacitates someone, making one unable to act that Night.
Smoke Pellets: Provides Batman cover to escape his own death that Night.
Batmobile: Visit two locations in one Night.
Communication Node: Spy on a person, hearing his or her PM sent to the host.
Grappling Gun: Batman may swoop down upon someone about to be killed and rescue him or her from danger.

Use all utilities before using one again.

The Joker
Anyone who targets The Joker will be made insane by the toxic flower on his lapel. He needs Batman, Gordon, Falcone, and Maroni dead. *Secrets*
Wait, wait, wait...that’s not right. Not right at all. That should say, “Anyone who targets The Joker’s target that same Night will be made insane by the toxic flower on The Joker’s target’s lapel.” Whoopsie-daisy! What a mistake to make! Well...too late to fix it now. Ha!

The Riddler
Edward Nygma has questions that need answering. *Secrets*
Each Night, The Riddler submits a riddle to the person of his choice through the hosts, putting the answer in spoiler tags. The victim gets to answer once each subsequent Night phase, with progressive punishments for each failure:
First Night: Curse of your choice, and lead the victim to believe he could be killed for failing to solve the riddle.
Second Night: Role block, with more emphasis on potential death.
Third Night: Something goes wrong with whatever device you have threatened them with, and they are safe. Whew. At that point, you would have driven the person to worship your superior intellect, and if he votes against you or uses a power against you, it won't count.
Over half of the living population must be stumped for The Riddler to win.

Poison Ivy
Dr. Pamela Isley, ecologist and terrorist, can poison anyone each Night. A poisoned person will die unless he or she discovers the antidote. *Secrets*
That “poison” is actually quite harmless. But your victims don’t know that. In addition to afflicting someone with this innocuous condition, you will be able to craft “hints” about how the antidote might be discovered and these will be sent to your victim. When you are satisfied, you can give the “antidote” to your victim and ease their psychological burden. Paranoid, you need anyone who votes against you even once dead to win.

Bane
Bane has a convoluted history with Batman. On Nightfall of the third phase, Bane must decide if he wants to support or oppose Batman. This choice will affect his win condition, which will be a secret until then even unto him. *Secrets*
If Bane chooses to support Batman, then he needs four other Arkham Asylum inmates lynched (Bane excluded).
If Bane chooses to oppose Batman, then he needs Batman dead, and at least three Arkham Asylum inmates alive (Bane included).
In either scenario, Bane has the following abilities:
Bane’s intellect enables him to know not only whom Batman targeted, but what Batman did each Night.
Bane’s strength and durability mean that he will survive the first attempt on his life, whether by lynch or Night kill.

Ra’s al Ghul
Longevity and rejuvenation are his, the controller of the Lazarus Pit. If, Ra’s al Ghul (The Head of the Demon) is lynched, then anyone who has been slain at Night can be dipped in the Lazarus Pit, receiving full vitality. Ra’s al Ghul is also of the League of Shadows, which is testing him: Ra’s al Ghul will select four roles by the end of Day 0 that must be eliminated by the end.
This would trigger a resurrection poll instead of a location poll.

I thought it hilarious that MacDougall (Bullock) went after Turnip Head (Batman) right out of the gate.

I'll post secrets in a second. You'll want to see those darlings.

Like A Boss

Juliets and Lorab flanked the door, backs to the wall and pistols drawn outside Dom's apartment. "I can hear him in there," whispered juliets, adjusting her kevlar vest. "I don't think he's alone." Lorab nodded, and for a moment juliets had a pang of doubt, and worried that Lorab herself might be working for Falcone. She shook it off, and took two steps away from the wall, turned around, and kicked the door in.

"GCPD, nobody move!" she shouted, brandishing her firearm, as Lorab fell to one knee beside her, pistol up and ready. Their eyes widened when they realized the gravity of what they had discovered. There stood Dom, mouth open in shock. Across a cocaine-laden table from him, a shifty Japanese businessman held a pointing wand toward a presentation easel outlining the benefits of human trafficking, as several frightened looking young girls in dirty rags stood meekly behind him. A dogfight had been going on in the middle of the room, though both dogs had frozen in mid-bite when the two officers had busted in.

On the counter behind Dom sat rows of binders, each laid out neatly, in alphabetical order... "Assassination Receipts", "Blackmail Contacts", "Gotham Bay Redevelopment Scheme", "Gotham City Police Department Corruption Records", and so on.

"Hands on the table, now!" cried juliets, and both men meekly complied. Lorab and juliets quickly grabbed them and cuffed their hands behind their backs. "We've got enough evidence here to put you away for life, Falcone!" growled juliets. "For life!"

"I don't suppose you'd be interested in a bribe?" asked Dom weakly, and juliets responded by shoving him toward the door, as more officers streamed in, taking control of the scene.

As she looked toward an open window, she saw the one the called the Boy Wonder, crouched and observing the scene. "Robin," she smiled. "We got him. And you were wrong about Lorab, she's clean."

"Believe me, I'm glad," said Robin, nodding.

"I was sort of hoping the big guy would show up, you know?" juliets looked out the window, as if expecting to see Batman out in the shadows above the streets.

Robin looked sad. "He's... he's not..." he took a breath. "There's still some bad people out there. Batman will be there to deal with them. That's a promise."

"That's a relief," said juliets, turning and surveying the scene one more time. "At least we can be sure that-" she stopped when she realized that Robin had disappeared without a sound while her head was turned momentarily. She smiled and shook her head.

* * * * *

Robin arrived back at the Batcave with a heavy heart. Falcone was gone, and a big chapter in Gotham's history was closed. But the fight wasn't over. There were still many infected with Scarecrow's hallucinogen, and Two-Face and Riddler still roamed free. Robin opened the thick wooden wardrobe emblazoned with the bat symbol. Gotham still needed Batman, and they would get Batman.

Robin narrowed his eyes.

"One way or another."

Dom has been lynched. He was Carmine Falcone.

Congratulations to the winners: Scotty, juliets. sprityo, Lorab, S~V~S, bea, Black Rock, a2thezebra, Matt, DharmaHelper, Typhoony, and Sorsha!

Riddle Me This

He’s best friends with a tinman

Law of the Jungle

"So," said MacDougall with a smirk. "Now that Maroni's outta the picture, I guess you're callin' the shots?"

Falcone smiled wanly as he poured a fine Scotch into a glass and lifted it up, swirling the golden liquid before taking a sip. "I was never not calling the shots. Salvatore was too much of a fool to realize it."

"Well, word to the wise," said MacDougall. "If Maroni can go down, so can Falcone. Watch your back. It's a jungle out there." He chuckled, picking up an apple from the fruit bowl on Falcone's desk, and taking a big bite.

"In the jungle, It helps to know whether one is predator," Falcone took another sip, "or prey." His eyes flashed as he grinned, and MacDougall's eyes widened a moment too late as one of Falcone's thugs wrapped a piece of piano wire tightly around his neck from behind. A bite of apple fell from MacDougall's mouth as he struggled and fought, but soon, lack of oxygen overcame him, and he fell to the ground, dead.

The apple rolled across the floor to rest against Falcone's foot. "Watch my back? You should have taken your own advice."

MacDougall has been killed by the Falcone Family. It is now Day 10.

Turnips Don't Survive Fires

Turnip Head liked his new costume. He thought it would help him fight crime on the rural side of Gotham. Too bad a mobster threw a cigarette on him and he burned to death.

I'm extending Night 8 to 11pm EST. No game-related reason. I just can't run things right away. I will still accept PMs during that time.

The Last Thing We Needed

Officer Glorfindel was shot and killed by an unruly mob in downtown Gotham Thursday night. He is yet another upright member of the GCPD who has fallen in the wake of the Arkham breakout and resultant chaos in Gotham City.

He is survived by his wife Baralineth, his son Iúlion, daughter Galenaswen, and their beloved Rottweiler Elrond.

Glorfindel has been lynched. He was a member of the GCPD, badge number 8.

It is now Night 8. You have 23 hours to submit your PMs.
