malakim and I are hard at work putting the finishing touches on the game. We've run into a few busy days though and are going to need to postpone the start of the game by just a few days -- on the 31st instead of the 28th. Sorry for the delay and I appreciate everyone's patience. We just want to make sure everything is good to go before we throw you into the fire.

This one actually won HCRealms Mass Effect mafia as Blasto.

This one also posted (mostly) in character the entire game as a self-imposed post restriction.

We occasionally have Heists where all players are given alternate accounts (we call them socks/sockpuppets) to post fully in character as whatever their sock is. Usually MP hosts these games, he's been working through a series of sitcom themed games and they're always a lot of fun and full of flavor. If you enjoy roleplaying I would highly recommending checking one of these games out if a theme ever piques your interest.
Futurama is my personal favorite so far, if that wasn't apparent from my banners.

That's quite alright. The setup will be such that it shouldn't matter. Speaking of that:

This will be a semi-open setup, merging the visibility of traditional Syndicate games with the claim-friendly environment of HCR games. By "semi-open", I mean there will be more roles listed than players participating -- you'll know what roles can be in the game, but not what roles are in the game.

Hey Cbob! Good to see you!

Good to see you too! Looking forward to actually playing with you folks.

I am the effect.
I am the mass.
I'm an independent: an effect that is small.
I'm the cop, and I weigh things to determine its mass.
I'm the cause, and this game is its mass effect.

Then again, maybe I should check a wiki before the game starts...

Ahem. I mean, sure, I'd play or co-mod if you need one from the HCRealms side of things.

To be honest, I know enough about Mass Effect that either one wouldn't be a problem if that's the angle taken.

Welcome!

Also, other HCRealms people might say such libelous things like I'm always evil.

That is complete and utter fiction, I assure you.

Really.

I'm deciding on how I want to abbreviate your username. GFF? fish? gfish? funk? We'll see.

We usually call him gfish.
