The Syndicate

Besides, I get lynched Day 1 enough.

I didn't say I wouldn't be here during Day 1 at all. Nice try. :P

Wait!! Roxy is in the poll.

Don't know how long ago that happened but it must have been recent.

We're full then? Game now please.

That said, I will be in Austin (again) tonight, so I may actually not be here until tomorrow after class. We shall see.

Welcome, TinyBubbles!!

Just one more!!! Please sign up, someone.

Just 2 more! This better fill before I get back from the Rush concert tonight so we can start tomorrow.

But given the theme and hosts, I'm going to try and stick with it. If I have to resort to a lot of phone posting, so be it.

Don't worry, we can just lynch you Day 1.

I doubt the game will be filled before acrosstheaether has a chance to sign up, but I am officially reserving a spot for her just in case.

ahoy! i've done some research around here, but are there any rules or things here that may be different from the RYM norms? i'd hate to make a bunch of noob mistakes right off the bat.

Good question!

Here are the ones that first come to mind:

1) Votes must be cast in the poll versus bolded in the thread to count. As Epi noted, it's generally good form to post and explain your vote at the time you cast it in the poll, but it is not necessary.

2) As you can see, the roles are listed, since we generally play with open setups. Consequently, role claims are against the rules, and dumping information found from your role into the thread is seen as bad form. For example, say you are the role checker role and uncover that MP07 is mafia. Even if you don't out yourself as role checker (cop, seer, etc.), if you just go into the thread and say "MP is bad", that will be considered bad form. Instead, a player will case another player REALLY hard if they have particular reason to believe they're bad via their role power. So while role powers tend to more heavily utilized than RYM, information gained from outside the thread enters the thread via casing, rather than hard information claims.

3) Though these aren't necessarily differences, you should note that Days for this game are 48 hours, Nights are 24 hours. Night talking is allowed. Any BTSC (behind the scenes contact; i.e., masons or scum teams) is allowed during Days and Nights.

Can't think of much else at the moment... I'm sure you'll do great! And if you have questions, just ask at any point during the game, people are generally helpful around here even if they're arguing that you're a mafia (in this game, a communist). :P

Note to self, borrow money from Russ and say the following: "So yeah, I can't get the number of dollars I'm supposed to pay you right. It is definitely _____ ($5% less than what I owe you)." :P

Hey there! Good to see you!

I love how this player list is slowly becoming a quasi-melding of communities. Awesome.

As an accountant in academia that always exhibited a high level of interest in economics, I just can't get over how awesomely fitting these roles are. I love them.

And of course Ludwig von Mises would get (perhaps) the most powerful non-role check civilian role.

Sunday would indeed be great, although I'll be out of town part of the weekend.

Russ, you mean 19 players, not 17, right? If so, we need 6 more people (or 4 if it is indeed 17). Let's get this game happening!!!!

If llama dies and Russti is still alive, we move to a proportional tax system and tax 30% of all earnings instead.

Wait, it's possible to kill hosts in this game? wtf

Or is it some inside joke I ain't getting?

It's possible to kill the hosts, but if you do, you have to host the game instead, so I wouldn't recommend it.

So awesome.

This is easily the most pedophile-sounding post you've ever made.

To be fair, it's a low bar.

Quite.

I don't believe in trading. :P

Well, I don't believe in me, but I'm still playing. :P

Hey, DDL! Awesome! Glad to see you.

Hope you enjoy it here!

NO U

Depends on my alignment.

Fair enough. I also will likely get lynched, so you probably do have a better chance of winning than I do. :P

Can't wait to inevitably see your Night 1 death.

Hey, JJJ! It is really good to see you around here!

Hope you enjoy The Syndicate!

And don't listen to Epi, you'll learn that's the norm around here. :P

Alright, since it's 48/24, I'm in. I can't miss a Russ and Llama game!

I'll give you an invisible hand if you know what I mean.

Woah! Better watch out for Daisy, my friend. :P

Russ and Llama, I have a couple of questions.

- Will you be utilizing the Participation Score system; if so, what are your guidelines for it?
- Is this game 48/24 or 24/24?

Both because I didn't see them specified; the former because I'm intrigued and mainly so that other people can know, but the latter because I'm REALLY wanting to play, but my schedule is super tight at the moment, so I'm curious. I could maybe handle 24/24, just have to think on it. 48/24 I could definitely handle.

Thanks!

Keynes? Boo. Boo I say. He deserves to be a baddie.

:P

You should be able to create a poll exactly how Epig described now, Russ, if you couldn't before. Because it's a new subforum, I had to finagle the permissions a bit for Hosts.
