The Syndicate

So I take it you're a big fan like I am then?

I am huge i check all the time waiting for an announcement for a new film franchise. Read loads of fan fiction etc. Cant beat the 80's cartoon though

I watched two episodes with my kids last night. One from the 80s and one from the 2003 series.

We've had GI Joe and THREE Transformers movies: Why won't Hollywood please exploit us 80s children with a gritty MOTU remake??? I know they were going to make a film called Grayskull a few years back, but Warner Bros. (or whoever it was) had executive issues.

Awesome to have you Logan!

Glad to be here!

If you have any questions, PM either me or S~V~S, who is the mod for this game.

Dude, glad to see you here!

This is shaping up to be an awesome player list and I am very much looking forward to this game, to say the least. Just 10 more to go!

Logan will be a fantastic player, I know.

I'm so excited to be doing this!

I hope I don't disappoint! I love games like this, but have a terrible poker face. Therefore my strategy is to always appear to be lying, which generally only works after people realize I'm doing it.

In other words, you're a natural!

Still want to meet you in person, btw.

Still coming to DC? I've been looking forward to it.

I am hopefully bringing a few friends (2 or 3 possibly) to come play. They'll be new to the online mafia game but I think this would be the best place to start them out

We're broke right now, and I am working like a lunatic.

Will you be in DC during the first week of April? If we get our tax money and you are free then, perhaps we can meet.

That would be great! Definitely as good a time as any.

Yep, I'll be around. If you can make it up I'd be happy to treat you to a beer or six (a six pack in the grocery store costs roughly the same as a single beer in a bar here, which is ridiculous.)

I prefer drinking in private houses, not public ones anyway.

If our money comes through, I want to travel to DC and you and I will enjoy many draughts. I'm partial to bourbon.

I see Orson did a drive by sign up

I'll play! Be nice though, it's my first game.

Count me in as a replacement.

Depending on when the game begins I might be able to go full on from the get go, but that will depend on a variety of factors. I am 100% sure I can be a replacement though.

Hell yes! Welcome, Mr. Russ!

Nine more players and we can begin! I would love to get started this weekend.

Awesome, glad you signed up, Jason!

Just posting to remind myself of my username

Oh I see...bit obvious really.

Hello Ian!

Hi Rob. My life will now be total confusion over two forums

I promise it's not as complicated as it looks. I felt the same way at first. Basically, you get a secret role (that you cannot reveal), and you try to be the last group standing by killing off the other players. The only time it takes is to keep up with the thread and send a PM every 72 hours (using your night power, if you have one).

I am willing to give it a go. Sounds good. Was going to say sounds thrilling but that sounds a bit......gay?

gay in the lame sense..damn I should have said lame.

Language and it's perils!

I may have another player, but I gotta check with MP first.

Hello all! My name is Tasha, wife of Epignosis (Rob). We have been married for almost ten years and have three amazing children who keep us crazy busy. I am a stay-at-home mom/homeschool teacher/baker and decorator of my own little cakery, Little Miss Cakes. This is my first time playing a Mafia game, my husband says I will enjoy it.

May I have a cake, please, Tasha?

Awesome, glad to see you again, hope you enjoy it!

I convinced her to make one should we visit DC.

Hot diggity daffodil!

So what happens now?

And Hi Rob's wife!

She says "hello" from the kitchen. She's quite busy working on a Toy Story cake, something like this:

Once the game hits 30 players, it will start, and Robert will send each of us our randomly-generated role. Then the game thread will start and it will begin!

Before it hits 30, well, that's a little game called the waiting game.

here i am, and how do the game works

Ishar Morrad Chuain wrote:here i am, and how do the game works

Hello!

In this game, there are good guys (in green and pink on the first page), bad guys (in blue and red) and independent players (in yellow).

During the "day" period (48 hours), all players vote on someone to be killed. Whoever gets the most votes dies and is revealed.

During the "night" period (24 hours), the players will PM me with their night actions and targets (see the character descriptions on the first page). Some players will have secret powers.

You cannot talk to anyone about the game unless you share BTSC. "BTSC" means "behind the scenes conversation." If your character has that, then you may talk to those players and plot together.

Also, you may never edit a post.

The good guys win if they kill all the bad guys, a bad guy team wins if they kill all the other players.

If you have anymore questions, you can ask me or S~V~S.

Great to have you!

^^^This is a very good brief summary.

If you want a more detailed version, check out the Introduction to Mafia thread. Of course, Epignosis and S~V~S are also always there for questions.

I'm the awesome little sister of Rob. Don't worry I'm nothing like him.... Just kidding I'm a lot like him haha But I'm an 18 year old full time college student, I've played this in person never online so we'll see how it goes:)

Four more! Come on!

Hi sis!

Screw it I'll play.
