Guess what just started playing on my Tangerine Dream playlist?

mmmmm. Stuff like Zeit never requires any particular occassion to be put on around here.

As for other music, I'd probably pick something in the ambient or psychedelic range. Or even some goofy, but trippy hipster music, like Foxygen. Or veer in the extreme with some experimental shit, like Keiji Haino or Ground Zero.

Did freakin' Ghost play at Colbert?

Same here, I certainly listen to Tangerine Dream more often than once a year, but it's become mandatory every Halloween, when typically I'm inside just studying or chilling anyway.

Indeed, seems they did. I wasn't aware!

As has become tradition for me, Tangerine Dream (especially the early stuff) is already and will continue to be on heavy rotation for the evening.

Note that despite extending this Day phase to 72 hours, I am not extending any nonparticipation standards.

Anyone who fails the nonparticipation standards is still eligible to be modkilled, in addition to those who break the rules. However, as expressed last Day period, I will no longer be modkilling players by request.

If you know you have obligations and are afraid you're going to mess up any of the nonparticipation standards, as always, you must PM me and Sloonei to avoid my wrath.

Happy Halloween!

Night 10: Put Down the Henge

Night 10 has ended.

Strawhenge has been killed by Psycho Killer.

It is now Day 11. You have 72 hours to lynch someone.

Night 10 post coming shortly.

Austin and Houston were doing horribly last weekend, this weekend's going a bit better here in Houston at least.

Last weekend was pretty ominous here as well, especially Saturday. I'm ready for it to be over!

I was wondering how Austin and Houston were fairing. The downpour the first half of today in San Antonio was unreal.

Wishing the best of luck! Hopefully it'll pass soon.

Host Announcement:

MacDougall has been resurrected.

Sloonei and I have decided to extend Day 11 to 72 hours instead of 48 hours.

Night 10 will still end at 7:53PM Eastern tonight. Get your PMs in by then at the latest.

Auto-win, MM.

I don't have clothes that grey, nor too big of a size.

Someday I'm making this happen.

And I will pass out candy with the Psycho Killer tape from Stop Making Sense playing in the background.

So is anyone here dressing up as David Byrne for Halloween?

If so and you get a pic into the thread tomorrow, you automatically win the game. /maybe

Also, just 549 more posts and this game becomes the mafia game on The Syndicate with the most posts.

Also, I will discuss potential extension of Day 11 with Sloonei and get back to you folks later.

Guess what? It's that time again!

Love for Sale is accepting offers for its Day 11 vote! PM the hosts!

Apologies for failing to announce this (again) at start of Night 10.

Note that you have 20 hours to submit PMs for Night 10.

Night 10 will end at roughly 7:53PM Eastern time.

Day 10: A Similar Mistake

Choutas has been lynched. He was Seen and Not Seen.

His face had been changed to The Syndicate.

It is now Night 10. You have 20 hours to send in your PMs.

I'll stop posting now so you all can play the game. :P

See you at EoD!

Uhm, if we lynch a baddie...

Oh! I totally missed that you were joking / referencing Memories Can't Wait. Carry on. :P

I'm fine with keeping Night periods 24 hours and pushing the deadline back a bit (though Jay supported leaving as is, so I'd like more input here); I just know this game has been running a while already and am curious what all of your thoughts are regarding these potential changes.

Nights won't be shortened to 0 hours. :P

Also, apologies for the multiple questions, but reading Rico's response to the 2 questions I asked earlier made me realize we could shorten Nights if you all are not opposed to that.

Like with Days, we will not be shortening Nights unless all players are in agreement.

Please respond to this post stating whether you would like to shorten Nights from 24 (with PM submission of 23 hours) hours on average and what you would like the shorter period to be (2 hours, 12 hours, whatever).

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Actually Jay, wert motel room, I think that I couldn't easily justify baddie behavior for him for those lynches, because in both cases, he voted a mafia member.

Linki: How'd you forget Dr. Who, you had the most posts of any player not currently banned. :P

I don't know. :P

Metalmarsh89 wrote:

MP, I think you mean Dr. Who Mafia, not Recruitment IV.

Recruitment IV is up there as well though. Somehow I forgot about Dr. Who being a postathon as well.

Hey, all!

I have much, much more to say regarding this during the postgame discussions, but I wanted to once again thank all of you for playing this game, and playing it to a level that's absolutely unprecedented in mafia history here at The Syndicate. As MM and Rico noted earlier, the record for most posts in the game by one player has been broken, and it seems this game will quite possibly break the record for most posts in any game at The Syndicate. Even right now, it stands well beyond all other games except for Death Note and Recruitment IV in terms of post volume.

Not only that, but the sheer content that has been delivered throughout this game by so many players, dead and alive, has been outstanding. I couldn't have imagined it. You have made both me and Sloonei very proud of both the TS and RYM communities. Give yourselves a round of freaking applause here.

I understand this game has been long, especially for you RYMers who aren't used to this, and I appreciate those of you who have stuck the game out and not fallen to the modkill. Thanks for making this game happen. It will be ending in due time.

I will not be modkilling any players going forward unless they have broken the rules or nonparticipation standards. Please, if you don't feel like playing, do not purposefully break the rules or request to be modkilled. I will not be happy.

We will not be switching to 24 hour Days unless everyone is agreement, so that is off the table.

Still be sure to weigh in to let me and Sloonei know about the EoD time. Thanks folks!

Two questions for my remaining players:

1) Does the EoD time work or would you prefer if Sloonei and I shortened Night 10 to push it back to 7 PM or so Eastern time like it was before?

2) At any point between now and end of the game would you prefer that Days are shortened to 24 hours instead of 48? If the answer is Yes 24, tell me when you would like that to switch.

Just let me and Sloonei know in thread or via PM. Thanks!

Hey guys!!! I've been out celebrating my fellow PhD/friend's becoming a PhD candidate (rather than student) by passing his comprehensive exam and presenting his second year paper drinking, so I'm out for the Night... Sloonei is sending out any remaining Night 9 PMs as we speak I believe. He is the best! I couldn't have run this without him, that's for sure. Be sure to PM us both if you have any questions or are still missing PMs that you think you're entitled to.

About an hour and a half remaining to submit or alter your Night 9 actions!

Sloonei may be taking care of Night 9 since I may be out for a few hours, so as always be sure you PM all your actions and questions to both of us.

Announcement:

Love for Sale is accepting offers for its Day 10 vote! PM the hosts to claim it!

Day 9: Divide and Dissolve

sig has been lynched. He was Houses in Motion.

It is now Night 9. You have 23 hours to send in your PMs.

Day 9: I'm Dead... and That's a Fact!!!

Day 9 has ended. Elohcin has been killed by ?????. She was Animals.

To be continued...

DAY 9

Who is a teammate of Floyd?

Let's please not forget these rules:

MovingPictures07 wrote:
GAMEPLAY & RULES

4. No role outing of yourself or anyone else. This includes all statements of fact that any player may see and thereafter deduct your or someone else's role, such as "I am Making Flippy Floppy", "Sloonei is Psycho Killer", etc. This game is open setup and incompatible with role outing, thus making it not fun when players engage in it. Absolutely don't do it.
5. No dumping information you received from the Host (whether role-related or not) into the thread. This includes statements that more often are seen as implications, rather than statements of fact (role outing). An example would be declaring that "I have reasons to believe Sloonei is Psycho Killer" without elaborating. If you suspect someone to be a certain role or alignment, use in-thread reasons to back up your assertion or speculation, even if your reasons are sourced from information you gained outside of the thread. If you are unsure if what you are about to say constitutes info dumping, please PM the hosts first before making the post. If you fail to do this and your post does violate information dumping, then you and your faction will be punished.

There have been some posts the past few cycles that have violated rule number 5. Don't do it any further.

If you have questions about what you're about to post and whether it violates rule number 5, ask me and Sloonei.

Matt F wrote:HOSTS - If a civilian is recruited to the Mafia or with the SK, if lynched, will the town be told they have been recruited or will the role just be revealed?

Any recruits will be revealed upon role reveal.

Disregard, that is outdated. I had an Independent role called "And She Was", but when we far exceeded the # of players I originally wrote the game for (25), I decided to completely revamp that role into a civilian role.

I will rewrite that now, excluding the Independent.

Day 8: By the Way, Which One's Pink?

Day 8 has ended. TheFloyd73 has been lynched. He was Life During Wartime.

It is now Day 9. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

DAY 8

Who tried and failed to kill Mr. (or Mrs.) ?????
