The Syndicate

Matt shifted his weight from one foot to the other. He was anxiously waiting on the other family delegate to show up for the meeting. He idly looked over the pictures that lined the shelf beside him. Zebra's family seemed nice, but they all had family so he didn't think much more about it beyond that. If he thought about those things too much, the consequences of their actions would suffocate him. There was a knock at the door and he quickly turned to watch Zebra open it and let Golden in.

"Did anyone see you?" Matt asked.

Golden gave him a look of irritation and said, "I wasn't followed if that's what you are asking."

Zebra motioned to a chair, "Have a seat."

"I'd rather stand, Matt's making me nervous and I want to just get this over with."

Zebra shrugged, "suit yourself."

Matt reached down to pick up the brief case that he had been ordered to bring to Golden, but just as his fingers closed around the handle the door burst open. A smoke bomb was tossed in and he quickly found himself blind and disoriented as the room filled with smoke and yelling ensued. The police team were swarming in the room amid shouts of, "down on the ground, hands up, don't move!"

Golden dropped to the floor quickly, he didn't want trouble. Just as he got down he heard one of the police call out, "Gun! He's got a gun!"

Then came the ear splitting repercussion of the gunfire in such a small space. When the commotion died down only moments later, Golden snuck a peak to figure out what had happened. He could see two other people laying on the ground, but only one of them was moving. Zebra wriggled as the cops cuffed her, but Matt lay with his eyes open wide in a permanent look of shock. Blood pooled beneath him from where the police had shot him through the heart.

"Son of a bitch," Zebra muttered. It was a very bad night for the families. Seemed like they were having a lot of those lately. She hoped they hadn't started a war they couldn't win. The cops hauled both zebra and Golden from the house and placed them under arrest.



Golden has been arrested by the Police. He was ?????.

a2thezebra has been arrested by the Police. She was ?????.

Matt 2.0 has been killed by the Police. He was the Hitman, a member of The Sockfaced Famiglia.

Who should be paroled?

It did definitely seem like a good thing for civs to me too. I can only imagine that it was, and hope it will continue to be in the future.

That's a good question too.

Prisoner 509 seems like a good option. However, I need to think about this for a bit before casting a vote.

What's on your mind with regards to prisoners?

I'm not quite sure, about any of them. I assume they knew they'd be paroled which is why they got so involved. At least one of them is a mafia member potentially more. I like what I saw of 509, and we need to vote for one, but I dislike this whole process can't help but think it will go poorly for the civs.

@hosts why did the breakout happen this phase? Was this triggered by something or is it a mafia abilty.

Good question.

Quin wrote:Are the role descriptions for the secret roles a copy and paste from the suggestion made by the player who created it?

Yeah, pretty much. We didn't tweak the roles at all.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Host Announcement: It's parole time!

If you're a prisoner, use Night 5 to convince other prisoners and the main game players as to why you deserve a parole. Note that you cannot self-vote.

If you're a main game player, use Night 5 to vote for whichever prisoner you believe most deserves a parole.

After Night 5, all prisoners who are not paroled will return to prison.

Also, just to be 100% clear, prisoners can vote as well as main game players. They just cannot self-vote.

How many prisoners can be paroled?

Good question.

The Syndicate had erupted in a state of chaos. All the prisoners from Syndicate Penitentiary had escaped and they were running rampant throughout the town. Free members were confused and concerned and the Police were frustrated. This was not part of their plan, so they were frantically trying to incarcerate the prisoners once again. In the meantime, votes were pouring in. The prisoners were making the most of their freedom, letting their voices and opinions be known. The question is whether or not they were helping the families. As the day drew to a close the prisoners became more excited to see who might be joining them in the prison. The final tally was counted and they had their answer. Dragon D. Luffy was quickly cuffed and led away for booking.

--------------------------------------------------

MP and Daisy sat at a small table at the front of a crowded room. Everyone was crammed in here now, prisoners, police and both families.

MP banged a gavel on the table (it made him feel important, like a judge or something) and called for attention, "The time has come to grant someone parole, all of the prisoners are here and it is up to us to grant one of them freedom."

Daisy nodded, "Your decision here is important. Each prisoner is allowed to vote as well, but self voting is strictly prohibited. Choose wisely."



Dragon D. Luffy has been arrested. He was Sockface, a member of The Sockfaced Famiglia.

It is now Night 5.

You have 24 hours to vote on a prisoner to be paroled.
You have 23 hours to send in your night actions.

DAY 5
Who arrested Metalmarsh89?

indiglo wrote:@ Hosts - Do the prisoner's votes count as normal votes in the lynch poll?

You bet their votes count.

Word of the prison break had spread quickly. "Yo, I heard Prisoner 888206 broke out of prison along with the rest of them today."

"Prisoner 888206? You're not kidding?"

"No, slick, I saw him with my own eyes."

"...I hate that guy. I'll get my revenge now."

The angry former convict marched down to the tallest building in The Syndicate. He broke down the door and whipped out his gun.

"NOBODY MOVE!" He quickly looked around the room as chaos ensued. He managed to spot Prisoner 888206, who was busy talking about his time before the clink to some guy named Golden. Suddenly, he lost all ability to breathe, as a bullet penetrated his head. His body collapsed to the ground, as Golden let out a very girlish scream.


Prisoner 888206 has been killed in a shooting (for breaking the rules). He was Long Con.

It is still Day 5.

Please note these rules for prisoners:

Prisoner Rules
Please take utmost note of these rules regarding prisoner activity in the main game subforum. Violations will be swiftly and severely punished.

1) No role outing of yourself or anyone else. If you had a past life in the main game, don't talk about it or hint at it in any regard. At all. Unless you want to die and get your faction punished.
2) No identity outing of yourself or anyone else (i.e., MovingPictures07).
3) If you had BTSC in the main game or with your cellmate in prison, don't resume it. If you're a prisoner, you have no BTSC.
4) You may, however, alignment claim truthfully or falsely, although it is not necessarily recommended.
5) You may also discuss any events or discussions which transpired in the Prison Yard threads.
6) No discussing cell-related events or discussions.

If you have questions not answered by these rules, or if you have questions about the rules, let us hosts know. Have fun with your new playmates.

You shouldn't have done that.

The police (Rooooooxaaaaaanne!) were busy blending into the crowd at a popular night club. If anyone was paying enough attention they might catch their furtive glances around the room, small nods to each other and various other clues that would give away the fact they were in the middle of a sting operation.

Metalmarsh wasn't paying enough attention though. In fact, he was busy living it up. Let's just say it, he was drunk. They were hoping it might be a good chance for them to catch him slipping up, give away his role in the mob. They were unlucky so far. As The Marmot (as he was called on the streets) wrapped up his evening and stumbled out the his car, they kept watching, holding onto some slim hope. He fumbled with his keys before managing to get it unlocked and climb into the driver's seat.

"Got him!" the Chief exclaimed as they quickly rushed in, guns pulled. It might have just been for a DUI, but at least they could lock him up now.

------------------------------------------------------

As dawn broke in Syndicate Penitentiary, the Warden quickly realized something was amiss. He walked to the first cell in the block and called out to the prisoner he could see curled up under his covers. The prisoner didn't even stir. He banged on the bars with his night stick, no response. "Guard!" he barked to his subordinate, "get over here and unlock this door, NOW!"

Once the guard had unlocked the cell and slid the door open, the Warden stepped inside and jabbed at the lump on the bed, and then lifted the blanket only to discover that underneath there was nothing but a pillow. The Warden's face flushed red as his rage grew, "Search the prison, find out who else is missing!"

It was worse than he could have imagined, they had all escaped. It was a coordinated prison break!



Metalmarsh89 has been arrested by the Police. He was ?????.

All of the prisoners have escaped Syndicate Penitentiary!

It is now Day 5.

You have 48 hours to find a policeman. Good luck, goons!

Oh really? Was that clarified by the hosts?

@HOSTS if The Don just bolded every person in the game in a different post, would that qualify as a vote for the traitor, or does that mechanism only work for the final vote by EoD?

Temporary votes count for purposes of The Traitor mechanism, so to answer your question, yes, The Don could have done that and it would have activated it.

We should still probably be able to keep everything on time today, but my work is piling up pretty bad on me as well. So I wanted to tell you all this so that, if Daisy is your host, don't worry, she will be getting back to you ASAP if you have PMs or questions not yet addressed. In addition, we likely won't need to push back the start of Day 5 but there is an outside chance we might. Stay tuned. Apologies for any inconvenience!

You poisoned her, didn't you?

Host Announcement:

The Loan Shark for The Sockfaced Famiglia is now accepting offers for Day 5 votes.

The Loan Shark for The Daisy Crime Syndicate is now accepting offers for Day 5 votes.

Instructions:
1) PM Sockface Loan Shark or Daisy Loan Shark and request the number of votes (either 1, 2, or 3) you would like to request. You may request votes starting now up until the end of Day 5.
2) The Loan Shark will then return your PM telling you only if he has confirmed your request. If he has denied your request, you will hear nothing.
3) If he has confirmed your request, you will receive the number of extra votes to be cast in secret only for Day 5. If you do not elect to use them during Day 5 by PMing your host, your extra votes will vanish.
4) Regardless of whether you used your votes, after Day 5's completion, the Loan Shark will then tell you the terms for payment, which you must complete.

Do NOT engage in BTSC to the Loan Shark sockpuppet accounts. The Loan Shark means business only. He doesn't want to hear about your bullsuit.

If you have questions, let your host know.

"Hey Daisy, how are you feeling?" MP inquired as he knocked on the door of Daisy's office. She had started to feel ill the previous day. The lazy man that he is, MP was really hoping she would be feeling better so he wouldn't have to do more work.

No answer.

He knocked again.

Still no answer. MP sighed.

"Guess I'll have to take care of things on my lonesome today." MP left and headed toward his office. As he went down the hallway, he ran into Dom, no longer on strike.

"Dom, any chance you know which family member everyone is speculating most likely to be a cop?"

Dom shook his head. "No. Try asking Blooper."

MP walked down the hallway of the top floor and stood at the elevator. Having gone down just one floor, he then quickly located and knocked on Blooper's office door. She answered.

"You rang?"

"Any news? Is anyone under a lot of suspicion right now? I presume no one has yet turned him or herself in?"

"Funny you mention that, I just got off the phone with the Police. agleaminranks just turned himself in."

"agleaminranks?" MP shook his head in disappointment. "Why him? Ugh. The poor bastard."



agleaminranks has been arrested. He was the Traitor, a member of The Sockfaced Famiglia. He had defected from The Daisy Crime Syndicate after Day 1.

It is now Night 4.

You have 23 hours to send in your night actions.

Who failed to arrest ????? and ?????...?
