Game 1 Sign-Ups - Old School Syndicate

[Spacedaisy]

Count me in.

[LoRab]

Um…if we go over 18, can roles be added?

[Spacedaisy]

Priority will go to old schoolers. Right now we do have a couple new players in the sign ups too that we can let move to one of the other games if we need.

[Elohcin]

In! We will be at my sister's wedding when this starts so I won't be too talkative until after the weekend.

I don't believe llamas are allowed into the syndicate

[Spacedaisy]

Hey, if any of the old gang are interested, I'm hosting a Syndicate Trivia Night tomorrow afternoon (Sat Oct 15) in our discord server at 4:00 PM EDT. Come join in and test your knowledge of Syndicate history and some of it's members!

I don't believe llamas are allowed into the syndicate

Fun fact: Llamas hate wolves and will attack them.
/in for spare spots anyhow, old school feels like home

One of my most stressful and proud moments in mafia was being stuck in BTSC with Llama in Death Note. I was Light and he was L. Because of a game mechanic I was stuck in BTSC with him for an extra cycle and I was sure he would figure me out. But it was a thing of beauty when he decided to throw caution to the wind and confide in me that he was L. I loved that game so much, I have never been more proud of a win in my life. And the players in that game were freaking fantastic. Everyone played so phenomenally. Good times.

LOL, didn't you have a weird win con though?

[Spacedaisy]

The game is currently full, but there is the possibility of newer players getting bumped if we do have any of the old time crowd reappear to join in. Not that I won't enjoying having the newer players if that doesn't happen. It would certainly be fun seeing how it goes. And we are a welcoming bunch... most of us.

A lot of us did. But you play the game, as one does.

[Spacedaisy]

Um…if we go over 18, can roles be added?

We have had more people sign up that did not sign up in our original sign up threads, so we will be prepping to possibly add roles as well, I should say. We kind of have to watch how the sign ups are moving since we want to make sure all games get filled before we start building out much. All that to say, if more golden oldies show up, they should not feel deterred by what looks like a full game! Looks can be deceiving.

One of mine was in Heroes mafia. I was neutral (I don't actually remember what character it was--and it was on LP so I can't even look it up) and had recruited Bea through a game mechanic. It was towards end game, and we were generally helping the mafia. And everyone knew it. But then, the mafia got a bit over confident, and one player on the mafia in particular who will remain nameless (stopped playing a long time ago--and IYKYK) was really being not nice about the whole thing. And was certain that they had won.

So, I messaged Bea to say--hey. I have an idea. And she went with it (xoxo). And we voted with the cigs and won them the game.

Said not nice player was VERY unhappy. But, well, that's what happens when you mistake the game for entirely stats and forget the human element.

At least I think it was @bea? This was over a decade ago. She'll correct me if I'm wrong.

That and my second game ever, when I was Tin Woodsman, a civvie with killing power, and killed multiple mafia to a win, are my 2 proudest.

[juliets]

Lol @LoRab I'm dying to know who that player was!

I played a game somewhere, lostpedia I think? not totally sure, where I started out a civ and then @Spacedaisy recruited me to her 3P team.

Then, the mafia recruited me to their team! I remember @Kate was on it and @Typhoony and I think aapje and maybe @Tranq. I remember the host but I'll let his name die a slow death lol. Anyway, I had to keep pretending to @Spacedaisy that I was on her team which felt horrible because she's like the sweetest person ever.

If I remember correctly we (mafia) won but the game was chock full of controversy lol! It was the most fun I had as mafia ever, I mean look at the characters that were on that team, but I felt sick about Spacedaisy.

The old days, so full of wild mechanics!

[Spacedaisy]

Lol I don’t even remember that Jules. But I remember aapje doing the same sort of thing to me once in the like one game he played here!

[bea]

This player list could make me cry!

Same!

Anyone know what Illy is up to these days?

I can message her tomorrow and see if I can convince.

Yes please!

That is quite a team! And I suspect we may be referencing the same player. Is his name the same as a shoe company?

[Spacedaisy]

LOL, I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about the same person.

I loooooved having btsc with tranq and typh anytime I could.

And one time on rev, aapjee lost his crap due to my wallotext cuz my crackberry's return button was broken. When it was explained to him, he went back to my posts for the rest of the game and added paragraph breaks in them for me.

Great set up!! I love that Vomp is a role. Also, I wonder whatever happened to Link (for whom linkitis was named, a long time ago). Link McCloud, I think?

Omg we ARE talking about the same person!! LOLOL!

I literally do not buy that shoe brand because I have such an awful reaction to the name.

I spent all day yesterday rereading all 157 pages of that game, and it was truly one of the best times I've ever had on this site.

[DharmaHelper]

Hands down.

[fingersplints]

Just like old times, I don’t plan on helping at all with the decoding.
I think @G-Man should though as payback for S~c~~t M~f~~
