Terrible MS Paint banner since I have neither the time nor software to do better!

Thanks for playing @Cannoticale, good to have you around! Starting with a sweep ain't too shabby.

Day 2 has ended. Sloonei was eliminated. He was:




Gladys looked upon O-Town from her personal suite in the Conglom-O tower, satisfied that her schemes would lead her to infinite wealth and Mafia glory via The Syndicate's accelerated path to the Administrator ranks for all Conglom-O executives.

Then someone fell through the roof, dangling from a tightrope like a secret agent in a movie, and landed directly in her bosom. She had only barely begun to utter her catchphrase when it was all over.

HOW DAAAAAAARE YOU

Night 1 has ended. jess was killed. She was:


I'm nauseous. I'm nauseous. I'm nauseous.

Nobody could blame Filburt for falling sickly and crestfallen. It's hard to cope when one of your best friends is implicated and destroyed in a capitalist scheme to control all of O-Town and the Internet Mafia landscape. He will be out of commission for a while.

Day 2 is underway and will last 48 hours.

Day 1 has ended. Roxy was eliminated. She was:


O-Town's population was deeply troubled about the new merger. Conglom-O and The Syndicate could scarcely be trusted to bring both prosperity and good will to the city, and the vile capitalists would answer for their hubris immediately. Rocko himself, the "nervous" wallaby down the street, was the one negotiating the merger behind closed doors. So an angry mob removed him from the equation.

Night 1 will last 24 hours.

Voting in the poll entails selecting the circle (radio button) next to your preferred player to eliminate and then pressing "Submit".

Voting in the thread entails indicating clearly who you'd like to vote for. Caps lock is fine: VOTE JAGGEDJIMMYJAY

Or, preferably, you can use the vote tags: [ vote]JaggedJimmyJay[/vote ] (remove spaces in brackets)

[VOTE: JaggedJimmyJay] aubergine

Please refrain from interacting publicly with this post. Thank you.

Remember that both forms of voting are required, gang. This will give a better approximation of the timing and order of vote placements, both for my reference and yours. Unfortunately the poll does not accommodate this (it used to, but phpbb likes to update backwards). Thanks.

Big news! We here among management at The Syndicate have decided that it is time to build stronger ties in the commercial world. We have joined with Conglom-O who will be helping us to expand our brand further into the Mafia landscape all over O-Town. Even better: as our first personally selected focus group, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see our new vision in motion. So, by all means, take it away. Play Mafia! What's the worst that could happen? Nobody has died yet!

Have fun on Day 1, and remember: we own you.


Day 1 will last 48 hours. Remember to vote in the poll AND call your votes clearly in the thread. You may begin posting.

Role cards have been distributed. We'll get started tomorrow evening at 6:00 PM PST / 9:00 PM EST.

Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.

Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.

[Link] Rules and Guidelines on The Syndicate

Also always be mindful of the culture of respect that must be maintained in all Syndicate spaces at all times, to include this game thread and any external communication spaces relating to the game. Players must be respectful to one another, to the game host, to the members of the staff overseeing the game, to the game itself by way of its rules and spirit, to the Syndicate community in general, and ideally also to themselves. Respect is never optional. See our full manifesto on our culture of respect below.

Game rules and guidelines (note especially voting rules #2 and #5, but all rules apply)




Angleshooting, loopholes, and excessive appeal to emotion

Don't.

We all know what the spirit of Mafia is about. So don't. If you ever think something might be cutting it close, just ask me before doing it/saying it. Thanks gang.

Examples of things that suck:
- Referencing out-of-game personal information to progress yourself in the game (regardless of alignment)
- Trying to use specific wording in your role card to glean information in the thread
- Openly calling for or talking about the mafia team conceding
- Discussing anything outside the game thread that should have no bearing on it (e.g., technical quirks you observe on Discord) other than ordinary metagaming
- Referencing emotional concepts that have no bearing on the Mafia game in any way that put others in an unfair position of either judgment or deception
- Plenty of other things; there are too many to list

Sample vanilla town role card:

You're [character]. Town.

You have no special abilities.

The game begins at 9:00 PM PST on Tuesday the 17th of June. You may access the game thread here (click).
