The Syndicate

A mostly closed setup for 15-19 players in two factions (target 17, but given the champs season and a general slower pace I might need to scale this back)

Cycles are 48/24 with 9 PM EOD.

Light role madness, but generally low powered -- the standard town power will be something like a two-shot tracker or a one-shot cop.

Players will be limited to 30 posts per 24 hours (60 posts in a day phase // 30 in a night phase), with this cap lifted 1 hour before EOD.

Flavor and role claiming will be allowed, at the risk of the players involved. Players will NOT be allowed to reveal any aspect of their gimmick ability. This will be enforced strictly.

Characters will be distributed throughout schools of philosophy and WILL be tied to alignment. Fake claims will be provided -- 19 town roles have been created and a subset with equal cardinality to that of the set of mafia roles has been set aside.

The role card template:

PHILOSOPHER NAME -- ALIGNMENT

COUNTRY
SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

POWER

GIMMICK ABILITY

This will not run simultaneously with any champs games to the extent that that is possible. That might mean a delayed start, but I want to be accommodating to anyone who wants to spectate our hero JJJ or might otherwise have delayed attention.

I think, therefore I'll sign up for this game (in):
1) NANOOK
2) colin
3) Long Con
4) nutella
5) Amy
6) Master Radishes
7) WerewolfHunter
8) Alison
9) Scirrus
10) Dizzy
11) Tutuu
12) Cbob
13) iaafr
14) Timsup2nothin
15) Benson
16) KZA
17) ???

I know that I know nothing (maybe/replacement):
1) names

Whereof one cannot speak... (out):
1) names

Docendo discimus (mod):

How long until this gam start.

In

happy to be playing with mr. baggins's mistress

I guess I'm in for this.

in

actually think i'm going to take a break from mafia

/out

awww [mention]112[/mention] was super looking forward to playing with you but i know all about breaks. take the time you need and come back <3

[mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention] when would end of day be in EST time pls?

I have 9 pm eod in the sign up. If that’d be too rough for our euro friends, I can move it back an hour or two maybe.

tentatively /in, may /out if this starts too close to 4th of july weekend

I will also tentatively /in.

EoD isn't great for me but tbh I'm used to not being present for EoDs so I don't mind.

7-7.30pm or even 8pm would be so appreciated for this euro girl but I understand if majority are Americans.

So many new faces in this game. I can't back out now.

somebody ping me if EOD gets moved to the 7:30 - 8:00 EDT time frame.

Light games are my comfort zone.

rock n roll daddy

i need to maybe now, because all the games are starting at once and im not able to do that. if this takes off after i die from those games, then sure.

I plan on starting this around early July to avoid other games here and to avoid semifinals games. July 5? Maybe? I think we'll be good on signups by then.

Also, everyone who has in'ed but not voted in the poll yet, please do so!

starting after the 4th means i can be fully /in. no backsies, no cowards

/in

Up to 12, but since Jack is back and is gonna start Jack Attack I think this can use a delay. I can still start tomorrow with a few more, but it might be better not to.

This looks super interesting, but I can't sign up for anything atm. Would definitely play if there were a delay.

How long do you expect this will delay for?

i might have to /out if this is going to start the same day as MU anni

in

Let's see if I remember how to do this

Aaaaaaaay sup bob

turns out all the times are bad.

I think I'm just going to run this as soon as I get to 17 players. Maybe can start July 20?

I would just start as soon as one of our two ongoing games finishes but I'm tracking timing around anni.

Assuming this starts some time between 19th and 26th, I'm gonna have to out

Okay here's what's up. Pyre is over, semis haven't started yet, I am planning to run this starting in exactly 45 hours. If that's a problem for anyone, now's a great opportunity to let me know. The game should be finishing up just as u pick/semis start. It'll work out great.
I'll @ the crew, and if I can get 13-17, this will run smoothly. Planning on an 8-8:30 EOD to make it slightly easier on our euro crew.
