The Syndicate

The players have been randomly split into two tribes. Your tribe is the Cerberus tribe. The players currently alive here are:

Boomslang
colonialbob
dom
Dragon D. Luffy
insertnamehere
LoRab
Nijuukyugou
Quin
sig
Speedchuck
S~V~S

When using targeted abilities, you may only target people on your tribe.

The following two roles were present in this tribe at game start:

39: Tina Wesson (Survivor). Each night, you may choose one player to inject with an innoculation to a particular virus. Any player who is given the innoculation will be unable to catch the virus and will be cured if they already have it. You may not target the same player twice.

42: The button (Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3). The button does something - do you want to press it? You may press the button at any time.

Please remember that there is NO INFODUMPING of any kind allowed.

Every good game starts with a self-vote.

Well this is interesting also second.

Dub sig, thanks.

Hopefully this whole train thing doesn't steal the thunder of Snowpiercer Mafia, an idea I had 5 minutes ago, and am now fiercely committed to.

This tribe cannot win. We do not have JaggedJimmyJay, there's no use trying.

I was the original Button Pusher in CC-123. It redistributed all the roles in the game. Pushing the button is a good idea any time, anywhere. Push it real good.

hmmmm a defeatist attitude you must be mafia.

Colonialbob's foretold role reveal suggests some significant event will occur on Day 6, perhaps. Something to be mindful of.

I did not play in Survivor mafia and do not know what the tribe mechanics were like for that game. Can someone fill us in on those details? Perhaps [mention]Scotty[/mention] wants to say hi and talk about this.

Here are the peeps over on the other tribe:

Dragon D Luffy
Epignosis
Long Con
nutella
Quin
Speedchuck
sprityo

Who wants to bet that their thread is twice as long as ours by the end of Day 1?

Not if I can help it!

One thing that I'm worried about is the whole Haiku protection thing. Unfortunately, we don't know who did or did not send in a haiku, and people have an incentive to lie about doing so in order to protect themselves.

This could potentially lead to an even more lackadaisical and pointless Day 1 than usual, where not only does everyone not know who the hell is scum, but we also don't even know who we can actually lynch.

Also, I'm assuming the two tribes will merge on Day 6, when Cbob/Charlie dies/reincarnates.

I don't care about who we may or may not be able to lynch. Today should be pursued just the same as any other Day 1. This is not something I will worry about today.
We also each have two lives anyway.

This is my initial guess as well.

6 days seems like a really long time to be playing half of a game

though the two roles thing will probably extend things anyways so maybe that's realistic?

Another possibility that crossed my mind is that, as players die, they will either change trbes or be sent to the "main" game thread.

But this is why I askes about tribal mechanics in Survivor Mafia. I didn't play in the game and don't feel like looking it up, so I'm hoping someone who was there can explain it to me. Scotty was the game's host, I believe.

are there any other game setups that seem to be referenced here? it seems like at the very least we have Chicka Chicka with The Button and reviving into different roles and apparently survivor with the tribes?

The idea for the GOC’s is that literally every game from last year is welded together into a giant monstrosity. Expect a whole lotta game references.

I take credit for the initial idea.

Remember how I incorporated the Red Room into the first GoC, INH? Good times. Feels like ages ago.

Oh man, that was amazing; you maxed out on Day 1.

Yahoo! Hello game! It’s been a year.

First thing’s first, how do I vote with this new voting tag system that I just read about in the rules?

Yo.

Yeah, I mean for starters, it’s pretty straightforward. Survivor also shared a similar mechanic with Lost Again 3 (I believe that was 2017) which had peeps on a beach and in the hatch. The hatch exploded after a few days if I recall. And didn’t Golden also host that? Might be something similar.

@Sloonei you mentioned that you were a button that created chaos and changed around roles, but I’m not so sure the same thing would be applied here. It might have some other function. It might even merge tribes. Who really knows. But I like to poke burning logs with my finger like an idiot so I’m not one to make a decision there.

there's also a "vote" button up in the thing

it also adds the word "aubergine" for like basically no reason

Oh sweet! That’s a cool addition- thanks man! Nice to meet you as well!

Also I just looked it up and I’m thinking of Lost Season 2 played in 2016, so ignore about the hatch blowing up bit.

The tribes thing should be straight forward in any case- it should merge when a certain amount of people are eliminated in each.

The difference between this and my game is the addition of a mafia team. Mine was just a LMS type of deal. If I were Golden, I would split mafia evenly between tribes. Or as evenly as I could. In a 23 person game, I don’t know what would be a comparable ratio. Also considering there might be a few indies in the mix, there’s probably at least 2 baddies in each tribe.

Yeah I haven’t even been on since i took a breather in May (or was it June idk). I could read through all the old threads but I don’t have the time for that unfortunately.


We see Tina Wesson who was the doctor role in Survivor, doing a similar job here but against a virus. That’s new. I also wouldn’t be surprised if her opposite is a mafia member and randomly placed on the other tribe. There has to be some sort of randomness here with roles that counterbalance each other.

Wait how would we even push the button? Is that something we can decide as a group to push or is it at the discretion of the actual Giant Anonymous Talking Button (tm)?

Hey HOSTS

If the player with the most votes is also “immune” to a lynch, does that result in a no-lynch or the next-highest voter being lynched instead?

And if there are ties in a normal lynch, same question.

kthnxbye!

Love,

Montgomery.

If it's like in Chicka Chicka then the button can only be pushed by the player who has that role. It was a one shot power that switched everyone's roles and alignments around and also made the player who pressed it unable to win until they died and were given a different role.

it probably doesn't work exactly like that here since cc123 was an LTS

Scotty, the answer to your question is

Hello players! I will be out of pocket until early afternoon and Golden is asleep. I will try to check for questions on mobile if I can. Have fun!

I don't think it would be info dumping to say who did a haiku? While people could lie about it I don't think many would so we could consider saying if we did.

[mention]Kylemii[/mention] the word it adds is for search purposes. It's a word we wouldn't use in just normal mafia conversation so when the host is tallying the vote count all they have to do is search the thread for that word. For that reason I recommend you try not to say that word so it keeps the host's job as simple as possible.

Also hi game! I've been reading just been busy and not gotten to post before this.

I mean.... Yes, that's true in games where manual vote tally is the only vote tally, but since this game has a poll as well, it just kinda turns the eggplant thing into an absurd looking artifact divorced from it's true purpose.

It still helps if we want to search and see vote order.

Before I forget.
