For Marmot's hall of fame update: Everyone won this game except for Epignosis, Long Con, and Made.
Cycles:
Day 0: 24 hours
Days 1+: 48 hours
Nights: 24 hours
1.) Claim whatever you want, role or character. Characters were randomly assigned to alignments.
2.) Votes are changeable with no limitations.
3.) Voting is not obligatory. There is no requirement to vote in any phase whatsoever. There are participation standards though, which I'll cover separately.
4.) The player who has received the most votes at the deadline shall be chopped.
5.) In the event of a tied vote, the chopped player shall be decided among the tied names at random.
6.) A "no chop" option will be included each day phase. This option must lead the tally with no ties to be enacted at any time.
Participation Standard
There is no rigid standard for participation; this will be at the host's discretion. All players are expected to make a sincere effort to contribute to the game thread consistently enough that their content can be fairly judged. Non-participation has an adverse effect upon the balance of the game. If I decide a player is not participating enough to facilitate this balance, that player will be replaced. If a replacement cannot be found, there might be a modkill. With this in mind I reiterate: it's very important that everyone try to participate. At least a couple posts per day/night cycle are a bare minimum.
Other:
1.) Respect all guidelines and rules found in The Syndicate's announcements section. Above all else, treat your fellow players with respect -- this is just a game.
2.) BTSC (behind the scenes chatter) is only permitted in host-designated locations.
3.) No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
4.) Dead players should post in the {Dead} Red if they are posting in the game thread. If you do post as a dead player, I insist that you ensure what you say cannot possibly affect the game in any way -- even the most innocuous off-topic things have that potential so please be careful.
5.) Non-Players should similarly post in {Non-Player} Blue if they are posting in the game thread.
6.) Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic should do so in {Off-Topic} Green.
7.) This is the Host Color. I don't actually care if you use it, just don't impersonate me.
8.) If you ever have any questions about the rules, roles, or setup, please ask me in private. You may ask publicly, but I will only answer publicly if I deem it appropriate.
Game Facilitator/Moderator on Duty:
@dunya
If you are feeling frustrated or otherwise bugged and want to talk about it, dunya is here to talk it over with you. She is fully prepared to listen, advise, or just shoot the shit if you have the desire. Send her a PM whenever you like.
Characters are randomly assigned to alignments: any character can be a civilian or a mafioso (there are no independents). However, characters are not randomly assigned to roles. Any character with which a non-vanilla role is associated has been given an innocuous fake character claim.
Also, I'm going to be a tad late (maybe 10 minutes). Bear with me.

DAY 0
The haunting of Juniper Grove was a story your parents told you when you were very young, a frightful tool meant to ensure obedience and the perseverance of cookies in the jar. Nobody is quite certain where the story originated or who told it first; indeed there is no evidence that it reaches back to the grandparents' generation. Its efficacy cannot be doubted anyway, and children in the schoolhouse are known to weaponize the tale against younger students with an unfortunate surplus of lunch money and innocence.
It is Day 0. Day 1 will begin at 6:00 PM EDT tomorrow the 9th of January. You may treat this day as an ordinary game day, but there will be no voting until Day 1 begins. The primary purpose of Day 0 is to allow players to become aware the game has started and to check in. The thread is open.
If you have any questions, please direct them to me privately! Thanks gang.

Hi everyone. I want to use this space to thank the host in advance for this game, the players for playing, let’s have fun.
Two things you must know about me.
1) Everything i post after this one is “in character”.
2) Im a guy but I dont care what pronouns you use to refer about me. So if you are one of those players who play considering others as slots not as people and use whatever pronouns in the heat or rush of the moment. Do not worry, i could care less.
That being said i will fo my best to respect your wishes and call you by the pronouns you wish to be called, but if i fail so, please know that it’s not out of spite. Just give me a heads up.

@nutella Request. On a scale of 1 to 100, please rate your perceived strength of Epignosis as a wolf player.
Request dismissed. You are apparently not in the game.
What is your opinion of Seanzie?
I do not have opinions. I operate on a binary model where I only discern truths from falses. And since I am a member of the Town, I shall only state facts. Seanzie is a member of the Town.

Okay ms tutuu, riddle me this:
This statement is false.
where's the lie? WHERE IS THE LIE?
The lie is in your request. You know that the statement is a paradox with no correct answer, ergo, requesting of me to find the lie in something you know has no lies is a faulty and disgenuine command.

smh where’s my ping
My apologies. I knew that you are an old school syndicator. I also know Made has an early join date. Then I remembered dunya does not know Made and dunya is also an old school syndicator I think. That made me realize there is a gap so I did not ping Made because I decided chances are he doesn't know that much about Epi. Preoccupied in these thoughts, i forgot about you. Please, bear me no ill will.

The spreadsheet is unupdated and it only shows that I have 1 completed game. The number of wins is irrelevant. The win percentage is also irrelevant to me though some might think otherwise. I desire answers from brains operating muscle and bone mechas (also known as humans).
