The Syndicate

Setup will be closed and will follow Mafiascum's Normalcy guidelines which can be located here: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Normal_Game

Public setup info thus far:
13 players
All roles and balancing will be according to MS Normal guidelines.
96/24 D1 deadline - 72/24 D2+

Eliminations will require a majority and day will end when a majority is reached. Majority to sleep will require only half the alive players to vote, majority will require >1/2 of the alive playerlist voting
Voting will be done in a separate thread to ensure all votes are counted. No votes otherwise will be counted - feel free to post them in main thread as a courtesy to other players however.

Again: If there is NO majority before deadline is reached, the day will end in a NO ELIMINATION. I know this is something many of you are not accustomed to so I will be repeating this a few times to remind everyone. Statements of how many votes someone is before elimination occurs is encouraged, such as e-1 for 1 vote to elimination, etc.

If you have any questions about Normal guidelines, feel free to PM me.

Accepting pre-ins as well.

Flavor TBD - Will be separate from the game however and if player specific, will be randed separately from the roles+alignment, so trying to game the setup via flavor is impossible. Seriously. Don't try it.

also in addition : I won't be needing a co-host at all and all players will require discord as I will be facilitating all moderator communication through discord, as this site lacks PT support.

I'm excited to see that the syndicate is finally getting a normal game

@DkKoba I'm not sure I understand what you mean regarding votes in a separate thread. Are you saying there won't be a vote poll at the top of the game thread? So players will need to go to another thread to check the votes? I'm not sure I understand the benefit - maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying which is entirely possible.

Votes will be in post format in a separate thread and i will do vote counts in main thread.

No poll.

The benefit is that i can actually do hammers and also vote history is more apparently visible

Ok, should be interesting!

Update: i will keep sod the same time and will round up to maintain this for nights.
I realize people are used to that dynamic and plan playing around consistent schedules.

PT = Private Thread?

Yes.

This site does support that.

then I will likely default to that - I prefer to keep everything contained to 1 platform if possible, so as to prevent any OGI from the possibility a person in teh game doesnt have a discord and people know and then its like "oh they might not be scum because no discord etc." and metagaming that way.

it hasnt been an issue before but I prefer to minimize mod OGI wherever I'm aware it could happen.

I do appreciate having the realtime aspect of conversing on discord (at least for player-to-player interactions). I do think it's a good addition to require everyone to have an account to account for such angleshooting. I haven't seen such tactics used here yet, but it certainly could happen.


It would take a little bit of mod effort to set up PT's for a game. We've done it before, but never for every single player, only for separate mini-games that ran parallel to the regular game. But we can certainly do it if that's what you want. Just make sure you ping us when the time comes.

oh no if its on site it will strictly be for things like hoods/masonries/scum chat/etc. only
