The Syndicate

they lynched a cop.

They were worried about bringing any of us back because they knew they lynched a cop.

IDK if said cop is killing or not. But I know our our bro's on the outside were worried that one of us might be the guy that they sent upstate.

And the one two punch of a) we do have a bit of bacon among us and b) several inmates died that we can't account for the reason of their dying leads me to c) be paranoid as fuck.

Not again - at you 813 - you seemed to be here before we had fish - so you know - the fish.

linki - 208 no one has told us we failed yet.

Also - there is lots of buffy.

What day did they lynch a cop? Anyone remember?

Are we sure lynched players come to this thread?

You know, as I look at my notes, I find that it's not such a bad thing that 379949, 513538, and 980854 are dead. None of them contributed at all to our Day 3 challenge. In fact, I have noted that neither 980854 nor 513538 even showed up on Day 3 here in the "slammer." There was only one other prisoner that day who did not contribute anything worthwhile to the decoding challenge. I won't name names because I do not have noted anything about prisoner participation on Day 4, as my time was limited. Besides, that prisoner was a part of Operation IVY, the spirit of which I think should live on. *puts pinkie to his mouth*

Lynched players were listed as arrested in the game posts, so I assume they came here.

Both of the prisoners who joined us before the prison break are now dead, so you do the math.

We may not want to get too specific on who was who because we don't want to get shot down like a fool the way 888206 was.

Ok yes I caught up and we owe 606 like crazy. Buffy all night. 413 you hung in there pretty good as well.

I don't know what to make of the nonmodkilled prisoner deaths. How did more than one die if it was a night kill. I do have a copy of the roles by the way though it looks like people responded already with that. It looks like I'll be around for a couple of hours but i don't know anything about Buffy.

Oh and I agree with the person who said we ought to have a plan when we go back out there.

fo realzies.

*takes some toilet wine and pours it down the drain in respect for our dead.*

However fool he was...he was our fool.....

888206 was not an original prisoner and therefore not part of Operation IVY. No tears will be shed there. He was instrumental in our third challenge but he was on our shank list in the end.

Having a plan is important but what is our end goal? Seeing all original prisoners released? It's not like we're privy to very much information on this side of the prison walls.

606's efforts are certainly commendable in our current challenge. It's nice to see new arrivals applying themselves. So far only 2 of the non-original prisoners have contributed to our goal today. As you're all aware, I'm taking notes. Failing this challenge will make me angry, and you know what that leads to. *puts pinkie to his mouth *

My personal plan - because I never - outside of some prison breaks when they happen, think I'll never be paroled. -

so my personal plan is to try to help parole the BEST peeps who will help our outside family bring down fire on those fucking pigs.

and if we could ass fuck the warden while we do it. Well then I win.

413 that actually looks like a great plan. I would like to be paroled but missed whats happening in the game because I wasn't here. So making sure the best people get paroled sounds good to me.

Riiiiight. You go right on ahead and handle that last goal yourself you sick bastard.

The only problem with pardoning the best prisoners each time is that it might leave the prison too full of "slackers," thereby preventing future prison breaks. Given the length of a normal game, we probably only have a shot at two more breaks at the most. You would think that would be a motivating factor to our nonchalant newbies but that seems not to be the case.

Oh, thats a good point about the slackers. It would be impossible to do the challenges without people who want to play.

Prisoner 208986 wrote:Oh, thats a good point about the slackers. It would be impossible to do the challenges without people who want to play.

Sort a catch-22, isn't it? Rewarding those who work hard makes it harder to get out. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? Like rain on a sunny day and all that.

Yes it is ironic and a catch 22. Wonder if MP and Daisy thought about that when putting the game together. They probably thought that most all players would want to do whatever they could to get out.

They probably had that in mind. In fact I think we are probably overachieving thus far. I wonder how many challenges they thought we would fail before initiating a prison break. Never underestimate the power of criminal masterminds in large numbers.

yeah I think we did overachieve last cycle. I feel sure we will do the same this cycle.

Prisoner 208986 wrote:yeah I think we did overachieve last cycle. I feel sure we will do the same this cycle.

I presume our challenges will only get harder the further along we go. They haven't exactly been easily-escapable death traps up to now, but we our first challenge was considerably the easiest despite the doubts of a few "dawgs."

How'd we do?

Prisoner 277058 wrote:How'd we do?

Just frickin' dandy despite 1/3 of all prisoners not carrying their own weight. Perhaps now would be a good time to try to schedule out the next 32 hours?

i think it would be a good idea to do a schedule but there are only three of us here at the moment. How would we fill in the others?

I can post for the next 12 hours minimum.

Prisoner 208986 wrote:i think it would be a good idea to do a schedule but there are only three of us here at the moment. How would we fill in the others?

This is why it's useful to have a reformed evil genius around. Rather than schedule the time right away, perhaps we should establish a standard time to coordinate around (gmt, est,...). Once we establish a "standard time" we can inform each other of the time slots where we know we are most and least available. Sound good?

Just posting so we're almost at a half hour mark

Ahh yes evil genius that sounds like a good idea.

Fine by me.

Wait, let me make sure I'm not confused. Didn't the time table start on :03? Meaning we have to post between :03 and :33 and then between :33 and :03? I held my post to get past :33.

Okay then, gentlemen, what time zone shall be the standard by which we coordinate? London, Eastern, Central, etc?

Eastern! haha

What timetable do you speak of?

The timetable for every 30 minutes. I looked back and the time actually started at 7:56. Not on the half hour.

The :03 was a mistake on my part. Thats when we first posted.

Prisoner 208986 wrote:The timetable for every 30 minutes. I looked back and the time actually started at 7:56. Not on the half hour.

It is my understanding that the 30 minute window is "fluid," meaning that once anyone posts, the 30 minute timer starts anew. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Add where you're from on that site and it should help.

I'm fine with any timezone we speak of because as I said I'm here for the next 12 hours anyway.

Prisoner 208986 wrote:Eastern! haha

Typical American, always wanting the everyone else to follow their lead. I have no serious objection to coordinating this way, however. Let us proceed then.

oh wow I never thought about it being fluid. Maybe we should ask the hosts.

HOSTS: What are our time limits for posting? Do we go off when your first post was (7:56 last night) or is it fluid, based on the last time someone posted?

Morning all! I had assumed it was fluid. 30 minutes from the previous post... confirmation would be good.

I looked back at the instructions and it seems like it is fluid but now we'll at least have confirmation.

Prisoner 920077 wrote:Morning all! I had assumed it was fluid. 30 minutes from the previous post... confirmation would be good.

Greetings 920. As you will see, you may not have reason to be miffed about not being among the five prisoners who are no longer in our midst. I would certainly not be envious of three of them, as they remainde outside the walls of this prison by being put inside a body bag. I hope your dedication continues, because you have been a valuable asset up to now.

And as far as coordinaton of our posting is considered, my availability will be intermittent the rest of today until probaly 8:00 or 9:00 pm Eastern. Tomorrow is my day off, so I should be able to be present and vigilant from 6:00 am Eastern probably through the conclusion of this challenge.

Who needs a stinking pardon anyway. I say we get loose and just pile our votes on some schmuck

I will be at the hospital from mid afternoon until probably late afternoon. I will be here tonight, hopefully starting at 6:00 until about 11:00. Tomorrow unfortunately I will be traveling again mid morning through the afternoon. If I find myself free during those times I think I will not be I will pop on and see if I can relive someone.

Prisoner 277058 wrote:Who needs a stinking pardon anyway. I say we get loose and just pile our votes on some schmuck

A few years ago your evil plan would have appealed to me. Now though I don't feel so inclined to "bust my balls" to earn a prison break only to engage in activities that would guarantee I never get parole/pardon.

You ain't getting a pardon either way amigo. You think A lion can break out of the zoo and be welcomed back into the pride? Nah son, they don't respect us none.

30 minutes from each previous post. So as long as 31 minutes don't pass after the most recent time someone has posted, you all will win.

Nice try trying to post and trick us with the time of your post MP NOT GONNA HAPPEN SUCKER

Thank you MP for clarifying the 30 minute thing.

Thank you. I think we'll make it if we find people for overnight.

Perhaps 606 can come in "clutch" again tonight.
