The Syndicate

Speed not being on the poll was an oversight. Anyone who wants to cast a vote for him just bold his name in the thread.

Oddly I cannot see the names of the voters though. @DFaraday, you may want to verify the poll settings.

It should be fixed now. And yes, votes are changeable.

It's the Butcher's Wife Come from Beyond the Grave That night I slept not so easily. It is a hard thing, knowing that a murderer lives in your town. But I drifted off to sleep sometime, and I had the most horrible dream! I found myself in a vast graveyard, with all of our dead relatives there! Not ...

Post incoming.

The metaphor is explained in the narration:

"But in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck."

Day 0 - Any Day Now Anatevka. Anatevka has been our home for many years. Yes, it is hard work, yes, we are poor, yes, we struggle to get by every day. But as the Good Book says, "A hard life leads to a happy death." Don't ask me where it says that. It's somewhere in the back. We have been...

All roles have been sent out. The first post will be up later.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF MAFIA Player List: 1. Epi - killed Night 4 2. Nutella - killed Night 3 3. Wilgy 4. Daisy - lynched Day 1 - Motel 5. LC - lynched Day 3 - The Constable 6. Kylemii 7. Dyslexicon 8. FZ 9. Speed - killed Night 2 10. JJJ 11. Marmot 12. Sloonei - killed Night 4 13. Lorab - lynched Day...

Roles are going out today.

The most powerfully moving scene from any Tolkien adaptation:

I'll never say no to a Tolkien game. Also, it's jarring to imagine Tom Bombadil as a vanilla civ.

My preference is for 6-7 PST.

I went ahead and added Sloonei since it's 2018, so just four more.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 3:08 pm Given that this is an open setup and each role is unique, it's very likely that both role claiming and infodumping will be against the rules. The game would be broken otherwise.

OH. ROLE CLAIMING. I suddenly feel very stupid.

Yes, no role claiming or infodumping.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2017 7:23 am Question time:
- How are the rules for claiming this game?
- Will flips be revealed?

Lynches will be revealed, not NKs. I'm not sure what you mean by claiming.

That's pretty much a given.

Never seen Fiddler, but this looks cool. Civvies are overpowered compared to the baddies though. Scum team basically just gives out punishments. Like, ooo, are you going to make me post in iambic pentameter? Unless those punishments are like The Hunger, It's French Vanilla Baddies. The kind of puni...

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF MAFIA I've made some slight adjustments from the original setup, but it's still very much in keeping with the spirit of the musical. 1. Epi 2. Nutella 3. Wilgy 4. Daisy 5. LC 6. Kylemii 7. Dyslexicon 8. FZ 9. Speed 10. JJJ 11. Marmot 12. Sloonei 13. Lorab 14. Dave 15. Novaselinen...

"Black driver" though? Is that a legit thing to say?

Diggle said it first, not me.

I'm finally back from hiatus, and have brought along a game I've been putting together in my absence. It incorporates characters from the shared universe of DC TV shows, Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. Civvies (16) Oliver Queen http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/36600000/Arrow-...

I will probably be voting Simon next time out then.

What is the case on Simon? I'm open to voting him, but I don't see what makes him stand out over Wilgy.

Looking back over Sloonei's posts, his suspicion of Ninja feels manufactured. He directs a couple of posts her way, then decides to vote elsewhere. It comes across more like distancing than actual interrogation. Diiny is supatown, I believe. I also feel quite good about Eloh, LC, and Speed. Given t...

Seconded.

Placing a vote on Ninja until I can catch up later.

Sorry I haven't been around, this has been a hectic week. At least people keep volunteering to be lynched, which makes it easier for me. Voting LC.

Pretty much where I'm at, which is to say, not very far.

I know you're not typically a rainbow kind of guy, but would you mind throwing one up for me, or maybe at least a reads list of some kind so I can know how you're feeling about as many folks as possible?

Not on my phone. I will when I get home tonight.

Here you go MP. I found pretty much the whole thing convincing. I won't be around until the early evening Central/Eastern time at the earliest. I haven't caught up but I want to emphasize that I'm still feeling strongly about Dom. Since I know I won't be around until closer to the deadline, I wanted...

I guess my earlier post got lost.

I had made a post earlier about my Ninja vote; basically, that she hasn't committed to anything specific. After reading more though, I'm switching to Dom because of his refusal to elaborate and as MP said, his attempts to appear consistent.

Sorry! I'm here now and catching up. Good luck. MP's been on a rampage. If you could weigh in on Sloonei, MP, Eloh, LC, Diiny, and Simon, that seems to be the focus of discussion. And me. :) Or heck, make a rainbow. The game isn't huge. The MP/LC thing really didn't go anywhere. I don't feel like i...

Sorry! I'm here now and catching up.

I never thought I'd hear a version of "Let's Get It On" that I liked, but Epi's version was lovely. Reminiscent of Tiny Tim.

And I'll vote INH because it's not fun to play with a role that actively hinders the player.

I'm picking up context clues that suggest that THE GAME has been a thing before. I also just went back and double checked the rules to see if we were obligated to write "the game" in all caps (we are not).

Since I love the Beatles, I'll always vote yes on a Beatles themed poll question.

I'm just afraid the no shows are civ. But then again, I have no good reason for voting any particular participating party. I'm at a loss. Reason for why boomslang is bad? Um....he just always sounds that way to me. I assume because he seemed to come across as defending Rico, who turned out to be ba...

Ok, I'm back. And will apparently try to catch up in in 13 minutes.

I'm going to have severely limited internet until Sunday so I will randomly vote Made.

*insert generic start of game post here*

I didn't care for the book, but that was probably because I was about 12 and haven't tried reading it since. I'll still play.

Actually I guess it's good I missed it. We can narrow down Marcus this way.

Nevermind, I guess.

Honestly not sure why I'm being lynched here. Explanations other than a lack of reads and some BS about how I'm more likely to curse somebody a certain way would be mucho appreciated. Agreed. That's a very tenuous connection, imo. LC, on the other hand, definitely looks sketchy now that I did a qui...

Fuck, man. Fuck! I'm more than a little drunk right now, and I can't believe that Poppy came back. Rico, your blob emoji thing was fresh and new, and carried none of the annoying subdrama that Poppy did. I'm so sad right now. What's all this about Poppy? I know she's a creepy character on Youtube, ...

DF, name four players you think are town and two you don't.

Why?

My universally panned vote for Wilgy didn't go anywhere after Made came back civ, so I'm no longer pinged by him. Could you re-explain the connection here real quick It was when Wilgy and Made were going "You're going to get me lynched!" "No, you're going to get me lynched!" I t...
