The Syndicate

I’m finally watching Twin Peaks. Episode 3 just ended. That dream sequence was... um. I like this. https://media.tenor.com/images/66d22b55658f9dc35577bbd159e1a360/tenor.gif You're starting my favorite show of all time, albeit one that's a little hard to get into. Here's what I told Ricochet when he...

The first live session was a roaring success! It ended with The Finalists on the 36th space, and the Vanquished one space behind them. Scotty has an early lead of 4 points, while Daisy has 2, and Golden has 0. This is still anyone's game. Remember, if the Finalist team wins, the player with the most...

Trade Old Man and the Gun for Suspiria.

Trade Laura Dern for Robert Redford.

The die has been cast. The live portion of the Elevator Game will take place on Thursday, July 19th, at 7 PM CST. Be there or be square. To quickly explain how this will all be run: I will create a grand total of 9 Chatzy rooms. One for each player, one for each team, and one for the entire group (a...

All we need is for [mention]EdJou[/mention] to confirm that he can make it at Thursday 7 PM CST, and we're set.

Day 1's are my biggest fear in mafia. They generally terrify me.

Hopefully, this game could be the equivalent of exposure therapy. Scare me into becoming somewhat competent at them.

Also, I clicked "view poll" and now I can't vote. send help

Golden wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 10:00 pm Yeah, sorry. I'm on call for a day long complaint hearing. I will have time but I just couldn't commit to a specific time which is of no use to anyone.

So, would 7 PM Thursday CST/ Noon Friday NZ Time work for you?

What about Wednesday evening, say, 7, 8, or 9 PM CST? That seems more manageable for Golden. 7 is going to be great for me on basically any given day. But on Wednesday I won't be able to participate at any time. So, DH can't do Tuesday, and you can't do Wednesday? Alrighty. I might be able to make ...

At long last, all 30 markers have been placed, and now we can begin scheduling for the live portion of the Main Match, in which a team of previously-eliminated players will challenge on the three players vying to make it to the finals. I'd expect this event to take about 1-2 hours. It'll take place ...

Available numbers:

2 4 7 9 10 12 13 14 16 18 19 22 24 25 27 28 30 31 32 35 37 40 42 43 46 50 51 54 56 59 61 71 89 90 91 96 98

That number has already been chosen. If you look on the spreadsheet, there are black triangles in the top-right corners of taken squares. Hover over the squares, and it will say who chose the square, and how many points it is worth.

Timmer better hope "The Favorite" is the greatest movie of all time. Yorgos Lanthimos is one of my favorite directors, and I honestly cannot wait for The Favourite, as I'm pretty damn sure it'll be fantastic. That being said, he has an......idiosyncratic style. There's a reason why I didn...

I point marker on 58 Sorry for the delay. As Mac pointed out, I’m traveling. Not only that, but I’m uprooting my life for like a month and moving across country. Your patience is appreciated. Sorry guys. Things will slow up a bit for me for the next few weeks until we leave Ohio for CA. I’ll put a ...

Scotty and Daisy both have 1 marker left to place. Golden has 2.

RIP

We're now waiting on [mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention] to post her pick.

Gettin' those sweet, sweet technical Oscars.

Also, apparently MI:F is the best-reviewed action movie since Mad Max Fury Road, so that's nice.

dammit, Timmer must have figured out that Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite is gonna be a box office/awards season smash and is trying to finagle all the sweet profits away from me

As we wait for the players to finish marking numbers, why don't we all relax to the soothing tones of Hyunmin trying his hand at ASMR?

When do the dead get to get revenge? After the three players place all of their markers on the board (a process that's like 70% done), I'll attempt to schedule a time when Mac, (or, at this rate, possibly Scotty) Daisy, and Golden are all online as well as three previously-eliminated players. Right...

Paging Dr. [mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention].

You’re up [mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention].

MacDougall wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 12:04 am Oh yeah you said.

Put a 2 point marker on space 100.

Sorry, you can't put a marker on the 100 space. Please choose another.

HELL YEAH HARUKI MURAKAMI

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jul 06, 2018 11:52 pm Want me to just post it in here?

Yep.

The players may now begin marking numbers.

[mention]MacDougall[/mention], as you have the most Garnets, you will start. Then, [mention]SnakeDaisy[/mention] may place a marker, followed by [mention]Golden[/mention].

This process will repeat until all 30 markers have been placed.

MACDOUGALL/SCOTTY WINS Congratulations MacDougall, you will advance to Round 11 of The Genius. EdJou, I'm sorry, but you are eliminated from the competition. You are, however, able to serve as a Surrogate in future games for players unable to be present, and you will get the opportunity to aid one ...

I also recently found this:

Pilot script for a possible TV show by the author.

I can talk about this book for days. I don’t find it gimmicky because everything seems to have a reason (formal, narrative-driven or otherwise) for being in there — even the backwards pages and strange layouts. It’s really like nothing else I’ve ever read, and if other Syndicaters haven’t picked it...

Would 8 PM CST tonight, and 11:00 AM AET tomorrow work for both of you?

As this is a chatroom game, I'll need to work with [mention]EdJou[/mention] and [mention]MacDougall[/mention] to find the earliest possible time that works for all three of us. I'd ask them to PM me with what times would work for them tomorrow. Sometime during tomorrow afternoon or evening would be ...

The Round Ten Death Match will be fought between EdJou and MacDougall, who is representing Scotty.

Both players are now under BTSC lockdown. SnakeDaisy and Golden can't PM them about the game, and they can't PM SnakeDaisy and Golden.

The details of the Death Match will be posted shortly.
