The Syndicate

OK, I believe everyone who was expecting a list has gotten it. I will be back in a few hours to put up a thread, and a poll, and all that happy crappy.

As far as I can tell, we have no players from Oz, and three from Europe/the UK. So I am aiming for polls ending about 7ish eastern. I would prefer later, but that is already too late for those in Europe as it is.

I will get a game thread up this afternoon. I want to run a longer than usual pregame, but not too long, so I did not want to start it any earlier than that.

OK, all roles have gone out. If you expected a role and did not get one, please let me know.

Roles have started going out. Do NOT mention whether you have gotten yours or not please

I will start sending role PMs after dinner tonight. The game thread will be up sometime tomorrow, and will run 2 days to give everyone a chance to check in.

Patience, my child

P.S. I also have to play Jeopardy at RM tonight, so we are looking at roles after say 9ish eastern

24/24 days & nights. The first Day will last about a day and a half in order to let everyone check in and to get on the schedule I want. Then it is 24 hours after that.

Yay

Roles should start going out tomorrow night, and the game thread will open Saturday. Days (and nights) will end approximately 8 PM eastern.

OK, we just need one more

Lets call our friends~!!!

Yeah, its kind of a weird theme, one night my family was sitting around watching TV talking about game theory (my brother is a big board game guy as well as a long time D & D player) and we just started throwing the idea for this game around, and all the dopey things I could do with a main role that can defuse nuclear weapons with a coaster, a paper clip and a cardboard toilet paper tube.

there may have been weed or vodka involved as well, lol.

Yay

Two to go, and we can start this weekend~

Well when Minecraft runs depends on when the next full game runs, we start signups for speed games 2 weeks after the game starts. I am still 5 people short, but with 25 hour days, even then it should be over pretty fast if i have to wait another week to start.

Actually, make that 3 short, i just recounted. I have 13 players, 16 roles, not 17. So I just need three, recruitathon to commence

Yay

BEST. FIGHT SCENE. EVER.

Yay

Now i need to recruit harder~ this is a game full of cheesy, lighthearted 80's fun, and it needs a fun crowd. We have a great start, now we need to fill this sucker up.



Did I mention cheesy?

Ya gotta wonder what he did with the turkey baster

I found this looking for videos (there is an amazing parody battle ring simulation between Chuck Norris, MacGyver & Bruce Lee, but it's pretty long). I also found some Stargate bloopers where they make fun of Richard Dean Anderson about MacGyver.

Oooo, is that your trip to your girlfriends homeland? That will be an amazing experience, I am sure

I will still likely be in signups when you come back, so i am taking this post as "Hells Yeah, IN "

That is the replacement option~ I just voted it so i could see the poll

MacGyver Mafia~ save the world (and your own life) with a paper clip, some duct tape and a magnifying glass

Let's just hope the girl finds him before she find the bomb
Civvies

MacGyver~ Cannot be lynched while Penny & Swiss Army Knife are alive *secret*

Swiss Army Knife~ Macs BFF~ sends messages to MacGyver periodically and goes into crisis mode should Penny find the bomb before she finds MacGyver *secret*

Duct Tape~ Does whatever Swiss Army knife cannot. Each day Swiss chooses the power Duct wields the next night~ if Swiss dies, the last power Duct has is permanent.

Ball of Twine ~ Holds things together when they are falling apart. Stops or switches a lynch once in the game

Chewing Gum~ stops air (and other gasses) from escaping when applied; so stops the nearly dead from being really dead, and rezzes one NKed player once in the game.

The Mullet~ MacGyvers tousled, highlighted Mullet looks perfect at all times. Attackers are blinded by its perfection~ Mullet lives through the first NK or Lynch, and can protect another player with its glory nightly

Paper Clip~ paper clips can be made into endless tools to stop whatever nefarious plot the baddies have in mind; blocks nightly

Magnifying Glass~ can see things others miss; can see who targeted a specific player that night

Chemistry Book~ Many things can be learned with SCIENCE The chemistry book gives a lecture in the thread each day. Do the facts come from the host, or the books author? No one knows~

Assorted Chemicals~ have assorted effects, unknown to the player. May stop night once in the game; however, there is a 25% chance the chemicals may have the opposite effect, multiplying night powers by two (all people who have night targets will have 2 the next night), or may stop the day once (with a 25% chance the votes will be turned on the people who cast them), OR may just PM "random" to the host one time in the game, and a random target will be hit with a random power (but there is a 75% chance the random target will not be a civvie) in addition to that nights regularly scheduled targeting.

Indies

Penny Parker~ Every Night Penny searches for MacGyver~ if she finds him, awesomeness ensues. If she finds Ticking bomb, not so much
