The Syndicate

Subconscious Phase 8

The car speeds down the highway.
One of your compatriots keeps glancing back through the rear windshield.
"They've got a fucking tank!" he yells.
"Shiiiiit. Who's idea was it to dream up this piece of crap Camry?"
An unseen woman in the front passenger's seat groans.
You have no idea what they're even talking about.
Why are you being chased on a highway by a tank?
Are you dreaming?
A deer on the side of the road jerks its head sharply.
It's staring right at you.

Long Con was lynched. He was:

Spoiler: show

Inception Phase 8 begins now. You have 24 hours until 6:00 PM EST to get your actions to Sloonei and I.

Refreshed, you make your way out of the rest stop lobby and head outside for the car.
You see a plot of sidewalk marked for maintenance with a traffic delineator.
As you walk by, you're overcome with a terrible urge to kick it.
And you do. You wheel your right leg back and deliver a full-force blow.
The delineator topples, and its hollowed top strikes the cement with a *pop*.
A man erupts into sudden yelling up ahead.
"Hurry up and get in the car! We've got trouble!"

Inception Phase 7 has ended.

sprityo has been eliminated. He was:

ATTENTION:

Both Sloonei and I are going to be unavailable at the deadline to end the phase. speedchuck has kindly agreed to give us a hand. Expect a limited reveal of an alignment only for any player lynched. We will fill in remaining details as soon as possible.

All inception phase (night) stuff can begin as soon as speedchuck posts and locks the thread. Thank you for your patience everyone!

Eventually once the shooting had ceased, you were able to sit up and catch your breath.
Within a moment you're back on the road like nothing had happened.
Another passenger offers you a snack. It's a thick slice of sourdough.
You didn't realize just how much you wanted it until it hits your tongue.
The driver pulls over at a seedy rest stop along Highway 4.
The restrooms are incredibly nice in here. You hardly notice.
Relief at last.

Inception Phase 5 has ended.

Dom has been eliminated. He was:

Subconscious Phase 6

You figured you were on the highway.
You couldn't exactly see with the people pressing you into the seat and shielding you from anonymous gunfire.
The car had stopped swerving though and you'd picked up speed.
Suddenly you came to a startling realization.
You really had to pee.
Hopefully they'll pull over after this batch of combat.

Subconscious Phase 6 has ended.

Hyena was lynched. He was:

Spoiler: show

Inception Phase 6 is underway. You have until 6:00 PM EST (approximately 21.5 hours from now) to get your actions to Sloonei and I.

I’ll give you a proper flavor post when I get to my computer.

Hyena was lynched. He was the subconscious aspect of self-efficacy (vanilla).

LOCKED. Still going to be a bit.

End of phase post will be a bit late. I will my best. Sorry y’all.

UNLOCKED. Sorry everyone, I don't know why it's doing that.

UNLOCKED AGAIN. FFS.

UNLOCKED

You're being rushed out of this flooded zone.
You still don't entirely recognize the people handling you, but they seem to know what they're doing.
It's difficult to make sense of anything that is happening right now.
You note as you pass that the airport uptown seems to have been hit hard.

Subconscious Phase 5

Your eyes suddenly bulge from a deep sleep, and you gasp for air.
You find the breath hard to come by, and you notice a faint tickle in your stomach.
You're falling!
Before you can begin to respond to the situation, you hear glass shatter to your side.
Water rushes in. Someone next to you tugs at your seat belt.
He looks vaguely French?

Subconscious Phase 5 has ended.

Elephant was lynched. He was:

The janitor learns the role of the target.

The car lurched downward and dropped over itself.
It hit the water roof first, and the windshield shattered.
Eyes jolted open.
They have to get out of here.

Inception Phase 4 has ended.

If at least a 2/3 majority votes in favor of switching (among those who place votes), we will make that switch.

THREAD UNLOCKED. If it's a butt again and locks itself, yell at me via PM or Discord.

Subconscious Phase 4

FLOOMP
Grenades rained down from the parking garage roof.
Projection-soldiers were blown from their boats and to the base of the spiral incline.
Some of them seemed confused in the fray, even getting in one another's way.
The mark doesn't seem to know they're dreaming. Good.
The distracted projections offer the right opportunity.
The car revs to life, and with squealing tires barrels straight over the edge.

Subconscious Phase 4 has ended.

To be clear, that only applies when the thread is locked. Nothing changes right now.

Please direct questions to the hosts via private message. Thank you. Any public content is fair to discuss. No private content is fair to discuss.

UNLOCKED AGAIN. ERG. (sometimes it does this)

Thread was being dumb. Should be unlocked!

Before they could determine the best course of action, a new problem showed up.
Projections were pouring in, many on jet skis. They were armed.
The car was positioned on high ground, so the sleeping passengers weren't under immediate threat.
If the projections couldn't be held off though, that would change quickly.
It was time to dream a little bigger.

Subconscious Phase 3

Atop the parking garage, they peer out into the city.
It's a mess, at least as far as they can see.
They'll have to find some way to create a kick.
The obvious option is to drive off the roof of the garage.
The drop may not be far enough.
Is there an alternative?

As stated, we screenshot the poll at the moment the deadline timer struck 00:00. This was the poll at that moment:

New deadline timer, to serve in the place of the poll timer -- I will add this to the first post of the game.

Just in case it's unclear, this implies the phase will be a total of 49 hours instead of 48 (deadline is one raw hour later, even if the "same" time at 6PM). Thanks Ben Franklin.

DST screwed up the poll deadline, so I have removed it. The poll will still terminate at 6:00 PM EST on Monday. We will screen shot it when the deadline hits.

Reminder to everyone to account for Daylight Saving Time. All game deadlines will reflect the clock being moved back one hour.

Newcomers may not reveal private information (any specific thing you sent to a host) from when you were away. Discussing public content is fine. If you're not sure about anything, please ask us. Thanks!

This definitely wasn't in the design.
The rain didn't stop until the flood was obscene.
They'd managed to get to a parking garage before it was too late,
but they were stranded at the top.
Now what?

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME and novaselinenever (replaced starting now by Ty4on) have reawoken in this dream.

Subconscious Phase 2

The mark was asleep.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan.
The cues were received and the signals observed.
They knew that if they could hold out here, they'd be home free.
The rain started to pick up.
Was this in the design?
Things might be getting complicated.

boo was lynched. He was:

Spoiler: show

Inception Phase 2 will last until 6:00 PM EST, in about 24 hours.

THREAD IS LOCKED. STAND BY.

You don't recognize him, but you're expecting him. You were always expecting him.
"Your ride is outside." he says to you.
You nod, drape your coat over your shoulders, and wave farewell to Monty.
The man leads you outside, and the rain is intense. Your coat is an insufficient shield.
He opens the backdoor and ushers you into the limousine.
There are others here. You expected them as well.
As you pass through the city, people outside glare into the vehicle. The rain soaks them.
Their behavior is ordinary and uninteresting. You're approaching your destination.
The entrance to the building is supported by three broad pillars. They are separately colored blue, white, and red.
Etched prominently into each pillar is the letter Y. The aesthetic is quite ugly.
You hear a string of loud pops somewhere outside behind the vehicle. Tires squeal.
You're a bit subdued by the three complimentary glasses of red wine you just enjoyed.
You're extremely groggy. Your eyelids flutter reflexively as your alertness fades. Fades. Fades.
