"Wait, so is this just a Syndicate game? What?"

Yes. It is.

We've set the standard my friends.

The semifinals schedule is mostly set. You can see how well-represented we are. What a privilege to have so many people to root for. Those I colored green have played at least one game with us, some of them numerous. I colored Sloonei and I orange as the official Syndicate representatives (in the same game!). Then there are numerous other great friends here who have joined us on Discord, are signed up to play with us soon, or otherwise well-known to us. This is going to be a lot of fun.

want to see if juliets is cool with living on an icelandic goat farm?

[mention]Michelle[/mention] in as a first sub!

I'm super proud of all of you.

Dizzy is in or we riot.

Fantastic work, Michelle! You brought great replacement energy and deserved every bit.

If I rand wolf Imma kill you first.

I won’t let him hee ho!

Besides being Cindy Kates, what do all of these people have in common?

Master Radises + Sloonei

The entire tournament has been a Syndicate infomercial.

Not sorry.

Can't stop won't stop

Game 9 voting is in the books.

Despite only getting about four waking hours alive before he was terror-killed, our mighty civilian hero [mention]Sloonei[/mention] placed third overall. He doesn't automatically advance, but this positions him well for the coming jury selections. Imagine he and I in the semis.

Also, despite only getting a single day phase himself before being terror-killed, our friend [mention]Master Radishes[/mention] placed second overall and automatically advanced. He represents Canucks Community, our newest sister site (check it out), just as 112 and Benson have in past years -- all three former finalists.

We're everywhere, Syndicate. This is a takeover.

It just keeps happening, folks.

Game 10 is in the books, and [mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention] has matched Tony as an automatic advancement to the semi-finals and the highest-voted civilian in his game.

We're looking to have crowded representation going deep.

Hey gang, more good news from the tournament!

Our very own [mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention] has advanced to the semi-finals after a fantastic power role performance in Game 7.

Tony is representing HeroClix Realms, but of course he is in spirit representing us at The Syndicate as well. I'm very pleased he received the votes he deserved -- indeed, he was the top rated civilian in his game. Maybe I'll see you there, TSP.

Remember that we cannot use this thread to discuss the game, and Sloonei cannot post here until it is over. If you wish to spectate, observe, and discuss with us, we can get you connected to the appropriate Discord locations. PM juliets or myself.

I will refrain from comment until it's over. But

Thank you juliets.

The work is not finished.

Thanks y'all. I was fortunate to have great teammates.

Y'all lemme know if/when you need a bio or whatever. I'll say this where y'all will see it too.

Thanks 112. Command the spec chat like you commanded the wild card game.

We'll see if he wants to after being forced to play with me.

150 post cap in 72 hour phases is going to be a chore.

May 18th eh? Sure okay

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 5:24 am Looks like I'll see you there, Jimmay and Sloonmeister, as I'm representing PersonalityCafe again.

Hooray!

Loads of quality Cindys and Kates this year

Thanks Dizzy!

I signed us both up, Sloober

If there's no new name, then I will give it a go. You should put your name in as an alternate though Sloonei, and there's a decent chance we could both do it a la nutella and Mac last year. They always seem to need some backups, and I think The Syndicate may get favored attention there since we always participate reliably.

[mention]nutella[/mention] mentioned another potential player?

1 vs. 1 Mafia duel.

I'm town. [VOTE: Sloonei] aubergine

I understand well, dunya. All too well. The entire field can breathe a sigh of relief; now they might stand a chance.

With all due respect to the numerous great players on The Syndicate (we have proven ourselves time and time again in this tournament), I think the user who'd stand the best chance of winning it all is dunya.

They usually have at least a couple of games in the qualifier rounds set up for European time frames. That may or may not as easily apply to the wild card and finale rounds (given that you would clearly advance ), so I'd be ready for that when it comes.

That setup is tailor made for me, so I am tempted. Like Sloonei though, I defer if a would-be first-timer wants to go.
