The Syndicate

If anyone not playing wants spec chat access, let me know. I'll send you a link.

Roles have begun to go out and the thread will be up shortly. Please refrain from posting here.

17. I will begin sending out roles shortly. The thread will open soon after that.

Okay, I'm going to start making the thread. One spot away from max, if someone comes along and takes it before I rand I'm not going to complain. But this is good as it is. If someone expects a role pm but isn't listed in the first post, pm me or post here asap.

By my count, we've got at least 16 right now, which is enough to run. If anyone else wants to sign up, I'll pseudo-finalize the list around 4 pm.

Okay here's what's up. Pyre is over, semis haven't started yet, I am planning to run this starting in exactly 45 hours. If that's a problem for anyone, now's a great opportunity to let me know. The game should be finishing up just as u pick/semis start. It'll work out great.
I'll @ the crew, and if I can get 13-17, this will run smoothly. Planning on an 8-8:30 EOD to make it slightly easier on our euro crew.

I would just start as soon as one of our two ongoing games finishes but I'm tracking timing around anni.

turns out all the times are bad.

I think I'm just going to run this as soon as I get to 17 players. Maybe can start July 20?

Up to 12, but since Jack is back and is gonna start Jack Attack I think this can use a delay. I can still start tomorrow with a few more, but it might be better not to.

Also, everyone who has in'ed but not voted in the poll yet, please do so!

I plan on starting this around early July to avoid other games here and to avoid semifinals games. July 5? Maybe? I think we'll be good on signups by then.

I have 9 pm eod in the sign up. If that’d be too rough for our euro friends, I can move it back an hour or two maybe.

A mostly closed setup for 15-19 players in two factions (target 17, but given the champs season and a general slower pace I might need to scale this back)

Cycles are 48/24 with 9 PM EOD.

Light role madness, but generally low powered -- the standard town power will be something like a two-shot tracker or a one-shot cop.

Players will be limited to 30 posts per 24 hours (60 posts in a day phase // 30 in a night phase), with this cap lifted 1 hour before EOD.

Flavor and role claiming will be allowed, at the risk of the players involved. Players will NOT be allowed to reveal any aspect of their gimmick ability. This will be enforced strictly.

Characters will be distributed throughout schools of philosophy and WILL be tied to alignment. Fake claims will be provided -- 19 town roles have been created and a subset with equal cardinality to that of the set of mafia roles has been set aside.

The role card template:

PHILOSOPHER NAME -- ALIGNMENT

COUNTRY
SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

POWER

GIMMICK ABILITY

This will not run simultaneously with any champs games to the extent that that is possible. That might mean a delayed start, but I want to be accommodating to anyone who wants to spectate our hero JJJ or might otherwise have delayed attention.

I think, therefore I'll sign up for this game (in):
1) NANOOK
2) colin
3) Long Con
4) nutella
5) Amy
6) Master Radishes
7) WerewolfHunter
8) Alison
9) Scirrus
10) Dizzy
11) Tutuu
12) Cbob
13) iaafr
14) Timsup2nothin
15) Benson
16) KZA
17) ???

I know that I know nothing (maybe/replacement):
