The Syndicate

Hi everyone!

I've gotten the green light from our site mods, and The Hobbit Mafia, one of the most-anticipated games of the year (if I do say so myself), is ready for sign-ups! It's going to be quite an adventure, and I think there will be laughs, surprises, and fun had by all. As a first-time host, I'm hoping this game will have a slightly different flavor than what you may be used to.

I'm looking for a minimum of 30 players, and if there's enough interest I could go up to 37 or even higher! I'm eager to get started, so please please please join, and invite your friends, too!

The role list can be found here: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... ?f=7&t=272
It's more or less finalized, but I reserve the right to make minor tweaks to roles before the game starts so that it's as balanced as possible.

Thanks!
Russti

Are you hostified yet?

Let me know when I have to go back to my Thrandy avatar.

I am 100% in. The Hobbit is just about my favorite thing ever.

I'm in! Looks like an awesome game, Russti!

I don't think I am, sadly. MP is working on getting the sign-up poll up as we speak.

And thanks to you I just Googled "thrandy" and ended up on the "Thrandy" and "Randy Thrandy" tumblrs. They are awesome.

Linki: Thanks, llama! Glad to have you aboard!

And done! Let's do this already!

I mean...

I'M PATIENT

The Sock has returned.

Also, the poll is up.

My avatar is from a different story where a Martin Freeman character goes out of his comfort zone.

I keep telling myself I need to watch that, but I'm more interested in his new series.

I would love to play this, but I am going to be helping Russti behind the scenes and modding for him. He has put together an amazing game for us~ tell all your friends to sign up

In!

Back in action.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

I would like to play.

Welcome aboard all!

I think you will rock as a host. Very much looking forward to it.

Oh cool, I didn't know about that! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

And yes, you really do need to watch Pushing Daisies.

How soon is this scheduled to start? I'm trying to see if I can manage it now.

I am so glad I didn't miss sign-ups for this! In!

S~V~S said I should expect 2-3 weeks to fill the spots. However, as soon as we can get enough people and Epi's X-Men game ends, I am ready to go. I'm optimistically hoping that'll be in about 1 week, maybe 2. It'd be awesome if you joined up!

Thanks Epi!

No. Of course I wouldn't want to play a game that is Tolkien-related in any way, especially a Middle-Earth themed game. Why would you think that? :P

Cool!

Wow guys, we're nearly half-filled after only 24 hours! You are all great. Really hoping we get to start soon!

I just signed up for another game and I think I have to be in another one starting in June. I can't do too many simultaneously, so when it fills up more, let me know if you still need me and I'll see if I can play then. It seems like a great game though

Ture. The best part about hosting is mod(mass)killing. Mmmmm...

Has anyone poked the wombat about playing?

Good idea, Mongoose! I'll PM him.

I have sent a few invites out, and I have a list of other people to PM as well, but I'm waiting a bit. I don't want to badger people, and I think more will join when Rob's game ends.

I also don't want to miss inviting anyone! So if anyone else has ideas of someone I may be forgetting, feel free to PM me or that person directly.

don't be so glum, chum

Guess I'll enter.

I'm in as a replacement. I'll be gone camping next week, but if things haven't started by Memorial Day, then I'll switch to an emphatic YES!

Thanks, DP and Metalmarsh!

Epi's X-Men game is now over, so I am hoping that we can get another 13 players and start this sometime this week or next weekend! I cannot wait!

I'm going on an adventure!!!

If this game doesn't get started until next weekend (May 24th or so), you can go ahead and add me in at that point. I'll just miss the first part of Day 0 or whatevs.

As long as it doesn't end in, "Fido: The Other White Meat", we should be good!
