The Syndicate

There’s a pretty good reason to think it’s not sprityo

I can’t handle the suspense

I’m like Tom petty—I need to know!

I'm locked in. No more reason to lie. I could tell you right now.

But I won't. Hmph.

Sorry, I’m not meaning to be a dick. I’m just impatient to see if I fucked up or not lol

No, no dude. I'm attempting a bit of humour. Everyone's cool, we cool.

u did tho

The Director and the Execubots are seated around a spacious conference table. The Director's eyes are downcast.

"It's not getting them off their tractors anymore," explains Execubot 2.

"We calculate the show needs a 4.35% increase in attitude. You are only capable of producing a 2.3% increase. We hope that you understand," chimes in Execubot 3.

"You stinking robots don't know what you want! This show was something special, and you bastards blew it up!" The Director had taken their senseless redirection long enough. He was going to let them hear it.

"I liked that," replied Execubot 1.

"But it's too late. This attitude is not enough to save you. We are moving in a younger, hipper direction with All My Circuits.

you’re a sick bastard NANOOK and I congratulate you

I don’t slow roll

There’s obviously a reason why the game isn’t over yet

[mention]sabie12[/mention] im assuming it has something to do with your secret?

Either way it’s obvious who the mafia is so if we somehow don’t lose tonight, then it’s a win for town

I knew something was fishy when I said NANOOKofhearts2005

But against my better judgement I waved it off especially after that unnecessary buss on creature

Yeah I've seen jack be super tricky with teammate bussing and buddying people if that's what you mean.

I would assume that calculon still has their vest, or the director was able to hand out a vest or some other form of protection. Or a vig shot maybe.

Nice dumbtell tho

Why not lynch Sabie earlier and make it lylo?

Could’ve even made a Rej case

I think that was the plan, but he figured out you haven’t been killed yet Sabie. That’s why he pushed for the only other reasonable option at the time

I wish I was the cop this game smh

What you're saying doesn't even make sense

Well we did get speedchuck for one night. So hopefully he was able to give out the appropriate item. Like maybe a vest and not give it to NANOOK or rej

Maybe he gave a big shot to Sabie. I certainly didn’t get anything

Linki: it does not matter

What matters is the game isn’t over yet and I know why.

There’s no way we lose unless you can convince Sabie that you are monique

Which is impossible mind you

Submit your night actions so we can get this over with

there’s no sense in us waiting

We all know who each other is in roles

[mention]Sloonei[/mention] can we end night early if everything is submitted?

On the set of All My Circuits, the last day of filming before the season wraps. Calculon enters an empty sound stage and looks around. Where is everyone? Usually there's a bustle of commotion around him to begin the day. Where are those drones who make the show happen around his glorious aura?

Suddenly a door swings open in the distance. From across the room he sees the Execubots enter.

"What have you done to my show, you cold, calculating animals?" Calculon demanded.

"We fixed it," began an Execubot, "The Director lost touch with the audience. Monique was driving viewers away by holding you back."

"Everyone knows this is Calulon's show, and so that's what we've turned it into. Isn't this what you wanted?"

The Execubots surrounded him. He could see a sinister light in their eyebulbs. And yet... were they wrong? It was clear to him, Calculon, that he was the star of the show. Why shouldn't he have the stage to himself? For a moment he began to consider their position, and he believed it.

But then a rare moment of something resembling humility came over Calculon. If there is no one to share the spotlight, can he really be the star? The brightest star rises to that point by outshining all the others. With no cast and crew, Calculon would merely be a dim bulb dangling in a forgotten storage closet. No. This was ludicrous. He needed all his circuits for the show to work. Calculon snapped into a fit of rage.

"Curse you, foul beelzebots! A pox on whatever programming drove you to this moment! If the show is to go on, it will go on without your interference!"

In his madness, Calculon grabbed a magnet off the prop refrigerator. He waved menacingly at the Execubots.

"Be gone, all of you! I'm not afraid to use this!"

"Calculon, be rational!" they pleaded, creeping toward the exit.

Calculon charged, and they fled. As the door closed behind them, Calculon fell to his knees and wept. They had done everything in their power to ruin his show. But they had not cancelled it. As long as Calculon remained, All My Circuits could stay on the air. He'd saved the show, even if it was only hanging on by one loose, dangling wire.

Sorry Nanook. I did the best I could with what I had.

GG town!

Yah going to say that's utter bullshit

1. Nanook shouldn't have lynched you, like what even. I was right there.
2. Don't leave the lurker alive till endgame to keep vote advantage over it. It can backfire. Kill the lurker, play like a man.
3. On the other hand yeah open setups with no claims are always shaky IMO, if people theorize anyway

It was a good game, though. Sabie might have shot Sprit if I hadn't condemned Nanook, IDK

Hard to fight my lynch when I know Sabie's got a gun anyway tbh

Meh I'll just go back to zero efforting as scum

Actions spreadsheet

night 4 is incomplete because i didn't have time to update it, but everything else should be there.

I think it was the right move. It usually wins the game I think.

I'm kind of annoyed that claims were essentially allowed at MYLO, narrowed down options imo.

Good game town.

I think instead of no imfoclaimimg rule there should be something scum benefits from guessing others' identities

My games are built around this.

Claim whatever you want.

Consequences may follow.

I do kind of want to apologize to the mafia team for something they haven't mentioned: the timing of the replacement. I wanted to replace Enrique sooner but was not hearing back from folks. I asked speedchuck as a last resort right before end game and he hopped in. I greatly appreciate him for bringing life to a dead player slot.

But the role had been inactive for the entire game, which means that he was then a 4-shot inventor with a full arsenal for the final phase. It was pretty much a layup from there, for him to hand a kill to sabie and for sabie to shoot right the final night. Ideally, the inventor role is exhausted earlier, or at least the vig kill is, and that player slot is resolved sooner as well. But at the same time, the influence of that role earlier in the game could very easily have dramatically changed the landscape in any direction. We'll never know.

That said, I don't wish to take anything away from anyone in this game. sabie, as calculon, still needed to remain alive and be town-read to that point to be given the shot. The town had to work to get into that position despite a fluky Day 1 cop lynch and the absence of one of their most powerful roles, and the mafia team had done well to pick off other roles that were in their way (Doctor Epi was completely neutralized after making one save). The game came down to the wire after everything. I felt like either team could have won at various points during the game.

Regarding "no claiming" rules and possible violations: there's always going to be a gray area there. I can't ask players not to have theories about the remaining players and roles, but it does get a bit messy when the pool is so small. I designed this game to be a throwback to the earlier days of the Syndicate when open setups and restricted claims were in vogue. That's what I wanted it to be and that's what it was. I hope that everybody at least had fun playing it. Thank you all.

I prefer this system as well. It just wasn't implemented for this game.

I liked this game.

Tedexter has my full respect. Good player I think.

Oh I also have to thank [mention]juliets[/mention] for volunteering to help keep this game running smoothly and on time when my schedule conflicted with that.

Gahhh speedchuck and Sabie you guys are the best!!!

I’m sorry I didn’t do better I really half assed this game but in the end I’m glad that we were able to turn it around!

Kudos to nanook for making it as far as he did, the mafia team really pulled one over on me, making me question myself time and time again

Epi, mac, and nova jump to the front of the 2020 leaderboard with 2 wins today.

Was really hoping the other one would turn out differently

Good game, sorry Sabie! Please communicate with the thread more often, lay out your thoughts. Whatever it might be, even if you think it’s goofy, people will most likely read it as villagery anyway.

Maybe this would’ve been one of those times where me meta checking you would’ve actually helped

Still, glad it all worked out in the end!

I think the most important thing to mention is

Sign up for Danganronpa Mafia

Wow I actually won the game! I agonized over that decision but ultimately there were some things that stuck out that made me think I had to kill off nanook. I was reasonably certain speed was the director but I knew I had to survive til night phase in order to win and I didn't want nanook trying to lynch me at the last second. I had kind of screwed up on misinterpreting a rule but I figured it out. This was an intense game and everyone did a great job. I enjoyed playing with everyone.

Ted I know to you my play style may seem weird but I really am a very strategic player. I wouldn't have lived to the end if I wasn't. You just have to get to know people's styles.

Also while this game has been going on I have been having a super crazy difficult time at work so being here often can be difficult.

Haha geez. I don't deserve that.

Congrats town! speed, sabie, sprityo all saved the day in the end. [mention]Tedexter[/mention] and [mention]therealet[/mention] were so good right off the bat. I hated to see therealet go so early. And mafia team, kudos to you too. You almost had it. [mention]NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME[/mention] you were particularly good, I'm glad you're playing with us. I enjoyed being a part of this game as ya'lls mod.

I thought Nanook was town in the end, but I had the same Paranoia about them as I had with novas, maybe that's why I got killed?
I tracked Sabie in the end meh...

I rly loved this game, the mechanics, it was awesome, thanks for the game everyone and well played both mafia and town! <3

They checked your role, I believe that’s why you were the chosen kill.
