I'll figure the rest out on my own until I get lynched on Day 1 because literally anything I type will look scummy with this avatar.
It's also considered unsportsmanlike to vote out or kill a new person on Day 1. Cheers!

Noted!
Self-voting is almost never legal on RYM anyway. so if that's even allowed here I'm sure I'll forget within the next ten minutes.

So if he self-votes on Day 1, that's double the impropriety.

Hope you enjoy The Syndicate!

Glad to finally give it a try, MP. I'm looking forward to playing my way, like any typical Mafia noob would.

Fair enough. I also will likely get lynched, so you probably do have a better chance of winning than I do. :P

Perhaps I'll just replace in on Day 3 then. That may be our only chance.

Wow, we're filling up quick - awesome! And great to see some new faces as well. Welcome!
If any of you (new or old) have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to let llama or me know. We are here to serve. (And possibly to meet children, from what I'm reading.....)
Also, llama is pulling double duty here as a mod and a host. So if at any point during the game you have an issue with another player or with my hosting, please please please go to him to vent and/or get it resolved. If you have an issue with llama's hosting, I don't know who you should go to, but you can try him first. He's a pretty reasonable guy.

Normally speed games do not work with my work schedule, but given this one is 48/24, then I'm definitely in!
Of course, given the theme, I'd probably be in anyway.

If llama dies and Russti is still alive, we move to a proportional tax system and tax 30% of all earnings instead.
Wait, it's possible to kill hosts in this game? wtf
Or is it some inside joke I ain't getting?

It's possible to kill the hosts, but if you do, you have to host the game instead, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Just as a friendly warning, I'm out of town tomorrow, so whether we get 17 people tomorrow or not, the earliest we'll be starting is Sunday!
...unless you all sign up RIGHT NOW, I suppose, in which case tomorrow can be Day 0.

Russ, you mean 19 players, not 17, right? If so, we need 6 more people (or 4 if it is indeed 17). Let's get this game happening!!!!

As an accountant in academia that always exhibited a high level of interest in economics, I just can't get over how awesomely fitting these roles are. I love them.
And of course Ludwig von Mises would get (perhaps) the most powerful non-role check civilian role.
