If you had the time, I'd recommend you download the soundtrack and give it a listen - I suspect it will help a lot

LOVE the new Spoiler bar! It's how it should be.

Otherwise.... well, I think I can be in for this one. My first Burglary.

MM gets all the credit for that update.

I unfortunately have a show then and as such makes it very hard for me to commit to these real time games under the circumstances but I love the theme and sorely wish I could participate. It looks like a good one, Glorf!

Ooh, can I be Micheal Jackson?

6PM start is a late hour for me and my previous Burglary performance (which started even later, iirc) wasn't by any means focused and win-worthy, but I should technically still be up late and on the internet, so I'll grab one of the last spots, if necessary. Good luck, Glor!

Simple mechanics question: Is non-changeable votes going to work out for Burglaries? Aren't they usually more volatile games, reaction-based and prone to triggery-happy voting?

Count me in!

I completely see your point, my friend. I'm very happy to revisit this matter if there is a consensus for changeable voting. The previous (Election Night) game worked under a non-changeable vote arrangement but as I was lynched early that game, I'm not really in a position to make a judgement as to how effectively that arrangement worked. Perhaps anyone who had played in that game may like to post their views on this matter...?

Tbh I completely forgot about Election also having been non-changeable.

I'll be at work while this is going on

Thanks Quin!

Come on guys, let's make it a biiiiiiig group.

Greetings, Fellow Syndicateers!

With less than 12 hours to go before our proposed start time for Wicked Mafia, we have barely 50% of the players we need to make this game a viable proposition. I don't personally think it is reasonable to expect a Host to continue with a game under these circumstances so (as a consequence) I'm calling this game now. I believe this game has great potential and I'd be happy to host it again at some point in the future that the Site Administrators and you, the fine members here, deem suitable.

I do strongly believe that these games are a very important and worthwhile feature of this site and am committed to their concept. For this reason, despite the personal inconvenience, I will be signing up to play Sprityo's Credithunt Game later this week and I implore you all to consider signing up as well to further test the concept of Burglary games.

Thank you to all of you who signed up to play for your enthusiasm and support (and especially to MP and Jay for theirs). I appreciate it very much

Hi Glorf!

I know it's a closed setup; is that the reason for calling it? I know that 9 players for a game can work quite well with 7 civilians and 2 mafia, but that is assuming a completely vanilla setup.

The last burglary game we played people signed up the day of the game as it got closer and they saw that they would be able to play. For example, it looks like my circumstances have changed and I could play. I would hate to see you call the game now when theres still the possibility we could play but I guess you have to do what you have to do.

Thanks, my friend - no, I'm afraid that it is not at all a vanilla set up and I believe we actually only have 8 players as I've been working under the assumption that MP was my Co-Host. Being the first game that I've hosted anywhere, there is now way in the wide world that I'd be able to run the game on my own...

I would be patient Glorf. It isn't unreasonable to think you could nab 6 more in the next six hours or so.

A sitewide PM should go out right now. Folks who haven't signed up earlier may realize now that they indeed have this evening free.

I agree with LC.

I don't see a way to check off in the poll but I'm IN.

I may be busy with Daisy and her sister, but I'm still in. I'll phone post if I have to.

Fixed this, you should be able to vote now.

Count me as a yes, even if I'm not clicking in the poll just yet, in case enough people gather and we can make this happen.

Alternatively, if enough people do gather and some of the mods (like MP, JJJ) are among them, I can happily volunteer to help Glor with the hosting.

I'll message a few off siters I know, from various areas and see if I can get any.

So we have 11 so far, 10 if MP is hosting.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:So we have 11 so far, 10 if MP is hosting.

No, 11 so far, 10 if I am (doubt MP can co-host on phone, right?).

But it's almost 6PM and not even Glor is around.

I'm sure Glorfindel is doing his best. He might have to scramble his roles up a bit to allow them to work with fewer than 15 players.

I hope we play!

So is this still happening because of it is I ready! Lol

I'm here and ready to go. I have all evening, send me a role PM and I will receive an email and be here directly.
