The Syndicate

Greetings, and welcome to Jestermania! This setup was originally created by WAD.

Players (5/10):

Dolby - Vanilla Townie
DrWilgy - Cop
falcon45ca - Vanilla Townie
hollowkatt - Vanilla Townie
Lime Coke - Mafia Goon
LinearPoint - Vanilla Townie
Marmot - Vanilla Townie
NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME - Jester
NotAnAxehole - Doctor
Scotty - Godfather

SETUP

Town (7)
Win the game when they eliminate Mafia.

1 Cop (investigates a player each night. Gets "Guilty" if they investigate the Mafia Goon or the Jester, "Not Guilty" otherwise.
1 Doctor (protects a player each night, cannot self-protect)
5 Vanilla Townies

Mafia (2)
Win the game when they have the same number of living players as the town. Share a team chat. Have a nightly faction-kill.

1 Godfather (appears as Not Guilty in investigations)
1 Mafia Goon

Jester (1)
Wins the game if they are eliminated in the day. Loses the game if they are night-killed or survive until the end. Appears as Guilty in investigations. If the Jester wins the game, all other factions lose, and the game ends.

RULES

- This game is dividided in day phases and night phases. Day phases are when you post and make votes. The poll will lock exactly 48 hours after it is posted, and afterwards I will come here as early as possible to make the end of day post.

- Night phases are when you are allowed to send actions, if you have any. Actions will be accepted 23 hours after the end of day write-up is posted. The final hour will be used by me to process actions, and to correct previous delays in day/night starts. Night posting will not be allowed, as the thread will be locked during the night.

- You are limited to 60 posts per day phase. That limit will permanently go up by 5 for every player who dies (I will announce the current limit at the start of each day). Day 0 is also limited to 60 posts. Going over the limit will get you modkilled.

- Voting is done through the poll. I do not require players to announce their votes in the thread or use fancy tags, though it is usually considered common etiquette to do so. Self-voting and changing votes are allowed.

- The poll has a "No Kill" option. If it wins, the day will end without a kill. However, that may only happen once in the game. Once a kill is cancelled, the option will not appear again in following days. You are allowed to vote the "No Kill" option as many times as you want as long as it's available.

- The "Unvote" option has no mechanical effect and is the same as not voting.

- In case of ties, the day kill result will be resolved at random. The "No Kill" option will never win any ties. Special case: If there are exactly 4 players in the game, there is a tie for first place, and none of the players in that tie are the Jester, the Jester's vote will count as 0.

- You must post at least twice per day phase. Failure to do so will be considered inactivity. Players who are inactive may be modkilled or replaced at my discretion. If you know you will be away fror a limited amount of time, let me know so I can give you some leeway before replacing/modkilling you.

- Double targetting is allowed.

- Role revealing and all forms of info dumping are allowed.

- Do not engage in angle-shooting, which means using information from outside of the game to obtain advantage in it. That includes, but is not limited to, making bets or oaths in real life, asking people the time they received PMs from the host, or posting screenshots to prove anything. I may modkill players who break this rule if it affects the outcome of the game substantially. or give buffs to the faction that was affected to make up for it. If you are not sure if something is allowed, ask me first.

- This is what the town role card looks like:

You are a vanilla townie.

You win the game when you eliminate the mafia.

- All players who die in the day or in the night will have their alignment and role revealed.

- Town and Mafia will win with their teams, whether they are alive or dead.

- Talking with people about the game in any places other than this thread, or BTSC channels authorized by me, are not allowed.

- Dead players must post in red. Non-players must post in blue. Off-topic posts should be in green. I will use this color, please do not use it.

- Your Game Facilitators are Hally and fingersplints. If you have any issues with other players or with me and you need to vent out, feel free to talk to them. For gameplay related questions, feel free to ask me and I'll help how I can.

Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.

Also always be mindful of the culture of respect that must be maintained in all Syndicate spaces at all times, to include this game thread and any external communication spaces relating to the game. Players must be respectful to one another, to the game host, to the members of the staff overseeing the game, to the game itself by way of its rules and spirit, to the Syndicate community in general, and ideally also to themselves. Respect is never optional. See our full manifesto on our culture of respect below.

Hmmm, seems ambiguous

Entering the game like...

Not a jester claim, it's a signal that I'm probably going to suck this game.

How do you do fellow kids. Who is the Jester?
I’ll vote you to help you win.

just incrementing your post count shouldn't count against incrementing your post count.

LP's entrance seems most stilted but that doesn't mean anything at this point

naa unironically not a jester imo, idk skimming P#17 seems to on the nose for jester kinda

marmot following HK's 24 with 25, kinda scummy but maybe in a jestery way

Why I never. I’m just trying to help the Jester.
Unfortunately there are many a Jester here.
I’ll just vote NAA since he is most likely to claim Jester as Jester.

This is exactly how I'd trick people to be pro jester as jester you jester.

oh fun we're playing with legit OP Jester.

which means the jester wants to be wolfy enough that the wolves won't NK them and not so wolfy that they're obvs the jester. That should narrow things down significantly. I think.

Also means wolves are more likely to claim jester tbh given that nobody actually wants to chop the jester here.

Also also means townies are less likely to claim jester. I think

Sort of true. There is a GF so only the Goon cops as Jester.

I think I know what you're trying to say.
there's a GF - cops clean
Goon - cops goon
Jester - cops goon

In this setup it would seem the cop is almost pro-mafia to a point

Or I guess put another way, if I were mafia I’d want the coo around to help assure the jester is found for mutually assured protection
