The Syndicate

Hi guys. Didn't know what day it was in game. Going to vote MM and Wilgy for now. Hopefully I have a chance to come back and catch up before the poll ends.

Voting JJJ to keep the heat going on over on RYM camp.

No, sir.

Then there's no point for anyone to vote for you, because they wouldn't receive squat.

Typical llama intoxication, burning down the house.

That's true. I hope people will vote for me anyway.

Hey RYMers, if you have time I encourage you to play your butts off in this game. The Maffies are next, and this counts.

hello. voted aokiji/motel room and Long Con.

i submit that i'd be a great candidate for leadership. i pledge to divert most of the company's resources to investigation of octopus people.

Im gonna do some reading then I'm gonna do some voting (for good, yeah? do we know what promotion does? I'll read, it's cool)

Hi, all.

What extra goodness does the Assistant to the CEO enjoy? Or is it just a friendly dusk 0 poll?

I'd return Golden's kind vote for me but I do feel like the I need to curb the syndicate influence on our result and establish RYM supremacy/dominance. (For all of those who missed it because it was in the hidden thread, my plan is to get some good-old-fashioned militant forumism started.)

well ok i voted Mac and Dr Wilgy cos whatever I guess

I will let anyone who votes for me choose my night kills for me, if I am bad.

Autechre is hit-and-miss for me.

AT is one-album-and-misses for me.

Which album may I ask?

Whoops I guess this is off-topic technically

It actually took me a while to warm up to that one but now it's probably my favorite.

I like Autechre a lot more than I like Aphex Twin.

So many bands I never listened to. R.E.M., Guns N Roses, Metallica, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth, Beck, Weezer, Rancid, Green Day... that's where I'm coming from.

I'd take R.E.M., Radiohead and early Beck out of that and I'm good.

Both players I voted for won, woo!

BWT, I'm disappointed. Now you don't get to call my NKs....if I'm bad.

We get to lynch you, though. What about that!

It was worth it to end the poll.

Now I'm hoping that both winners show up at their desks on Day 1 and there's a present on top of their desks. And they are presented with a choice...

Congratulations, JJJ and Wilgy!

How would he make you regret your vote? By being bad?

So far in the game I've seen a total of four posts that I have found suspicious. To make matters more interesting (and possibly help me with my conclusions) I'd like whoever's interested and/or bored to guess which ones before I say.

Precisely. And the fact that my vote helped give him the edge over me.

I bet 50% of those posts were made by me and the other 50% were about Niki Mirage.

The employees talked in circles, self-promoting, arguing who would make the best Assistant to the CEO. 'IT'S POLITICAL PARTY TIME' is all MP could think while he was watching it. The discussions ensued until eventually the two employees were decided.

"Wow! What a discussion. That is it. Congratulations to the new Assistant to the CEO of Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co... DrWilgy!!!!!!!!"

And congratulations to the new Assistant to the CEO of RYM Records... JaggedJimmyJay!!!!"

The employees of both companies broke out into applause. MP stepped up to the podium once more.

"Alright!! Now, to show you just how amazing this new mafia game installment is going to be, I have a surprise!!!" MP pressed his clicker and a giant table started protruding up from the stage floor. What was perhaps most intriguing to the crowd was the presence of a strange-looking device, covered in white cloth, on top of the table. All of the employees watched in awe. Even Sloonei was unaware of this. Eventually, the table stopped moving.

MP walked over to the table. "Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you, the world's first virtual reality mafia game!!"

As MP pulled off the cloth, everyone could see what appeared to be similar to a sci-fi ray gun in its design and comical appearance.

"What is THAT?!?" exclaimed Roxy.

"It's a virtual reality mafia gun! The game moderator programs the gun to fit any number of preset themes, then chooses the number of players, etc. etc., and then zaps the players into the game! While in the game, the players feel as though they're in a virtual reality, can converse, and it's like living out a real mafia game! The music that RYM Records has been providing me the licenses for was the last piece in the puzzle to make this project truly immersive. It's something I've been working on for years, but configuring the technology has been very difficult. I knew there had to be a way to take the mafia experience to the next level, but I didn't have the technical expertise or the time to do it myself. Thus, years ago I outsourced the technological research to a team of scientists, and they've finally managed to finish a prototype! This gun is currently programmed with its very first game preset... based on Talking Heads! It is exactly the game that you all thought we were designing for a board game edition. Although the prototype is far from completion, I wanted to demonstrate to all of you why I'm so excited about this installment, and what better way to do so than to show you this?!"

MP picked up the massive gun. "Pretty neat, huh? Let me show you the functions." As MP held the gun and walked forward, he accidentally tripped down the stage stairs, pressing the gun's auto-fire button in the process.

The employees watched in horror and awe as the gun started shooting beams of light all over the auditorium, picking off co-workers one by one, until eventually there were no employees to watch. The gun tumbled onto a couple of the auditorium seats.

"MP... what the heck just happened?" Sloonei asked in confusion.

"I'll tell you what just happened... the start of the first virtual reality mafia game ever... accidentally." MP declared triumphantly.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The players all rose slowly, still shaken and unsure what had happened. It was like someone had plucked them up from real life and dropped them into a fantasy land, one full of gigantic suits and tight vibes. One by one it started to come back to them. The office, the merger, MP's clumsiness... they were in virtual mafia reality, and that could mean only one thing... the game was on. Who would make the first move?


Dusk 0 has ended.

It is now Day 1. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.
