The Syndicate

The Roles (16):

• Barry (erm, I mean Simon) - As a result of the storm, Simon can become invisible at will. When he activates this power, his vote will not count in the next lynch, but he will avoid any power that would target him during the night.
  
  Kelly - Kelly was given (or cursed with) the power to read minds. Every night, she will send in a PM. She'll then learn the intentions of the player who sent their PM in directly after her.
  
  Curtis - Stuck mulling over his former career, Curtis was granted the ability to rewind time when those he cares about are in danger. With this gift, Curtis can protect a player every night.
  
  Alisha - A vain partygoer before she was sentenced to community service, Alisha was affected by the storm as well. Anyone who comes into contact with her is overcome by extreme lust. If she is targeted, the vote of the player who targeted her will be nullified in the next poll and they will be silenced.
  
  Nathan - In spite of his outgoing (sometimes a little too outgoing) personality, Nathan's power is a mystery, even to him.

• Tony - Tony was mild-mannered, though visibly stressed before the storm hit. After it struck, he began a psychopathic rampage. He'll suppress his anger some of the time, but on odd nights, he will kill a player. *secret*
  
  Sally - Tony's girlfriend and soon-to-be wife, she can track a player during even nights, *secret*. If Tony dies, she will be given his kill.

• Rachel - Rachel uses her power of suggestion to force others to behave how she wants them too. She can influence their in-thread behavior on even nights. *secret*
  
  Ellie - One of Rachel's earliest converts. That and Alisha's gossip about her former promiscuous habits are her only claims to noteworthiness.
  
  Liam - Though he's now a part of Rachel's organization, Curtis once referred to Liam as "a right headcase". Liam can kill during even nights, *secret*.

yey game! huh, pick a leader, that's an interesting day 0 poll.

Yay, nothing like a shiny new game

That is an interesting poll~ I wonder if the "winner" gets a prize (or something) for being a leader?

I'm excited.

There are many leaders in this group. But I don't know about "natural" or "born." Hedgeowl was hatched, not born. And DharmaHelper just isn't natural.

I choose to believe this is a compliment.

I am glad we have until Monday~ Dana & Made may be veritable MacArthurs unbeknownst to us.

Does anyone want to put themselves forward for leadership status? Also, I know zero about this show, although i have found the Wiki. Based on the roles, I am not sure if having a leadership role is a good thing or not?

I'll self-vote to get the ball rolling. No idea what's in store for me if I win the vote but I think that at the least I have enough free time to handle whatever it is.

A good leader is selfless, you just lost my vote.

I don't know the program (programme?). I'm assuming it's Orange is the New Black with fewer knockers and more knock outs.

Having skimmed the old Wiki, I am surprised there is no former drug dealer named Seth involved. That seems like a lost opportunity. Although Seth began the show as a guest...

Seth was in a later season, this is just covering the first one I think.

DharmaHelper wrote:Seth was in a later season, this is just covering the first one I think.

"Why weren't you featured in the show? You should have been, your power is top-notch. "

= Seth.

First!

*in my own mind*

Don't know anything about this show/movie. Then again I don't know anything about half the games I play.

I don't want to be a leader and I prob won't vote for anyone that I think is too eagery beavery.

Maybe if DH or Epig makde me laugh they will. get my vote.

Everyone who votes for me gets a free puppy!

If only you had said a shiny rock instead of puppy

Jk

A shiny rock in the shape of a puppy!

*Votes Sorsha*

I love puppies

Whether I get your vote or not, Simon and I have been laughing our asses off at this:

Yay SVS! Here is your puppy!

Yay SVS! Here is your puppy!

Not the prettiest puppy, but I love him anyhow <3

He's a Misfit. It works

I think that my name has been bandied about twice now speaks for itself.

There is no way in Hell I'd ever vote for DH to be our leader. Never trust DH.

I would more likely trust DH than SVS I think Canuck though, I'd put my money on her.

Those who have voted, is this a changeable vote?

And no, it isn't changeable. That might have been fun, eh?

Personally, i wouldn't trust any of you. I do like puppies, though.

I'm not going to vote for:

Keterman - Self voted, not a quality I think of as leadership material

Sorsha - Too eager to get the vote/put down opposition

SVS - Way to quick to put in a vote for Sorsha.

What about me though? I have puppies.

I just think DH is too hard to read. SVS is a tricksy one too but she wasn't asking for votes like DH.

I think I am easy enough for most people to read, if I did happen to be bad (which I'm not), you'd all be able to tell in a day or two and could lynch me. I think I'm a good choice.

She offered puppies. Next time YOU try puppies; they work

You're campaigning, you know who else campaigns? Politicians. I rest my case.

K, Bye!

Well, politicians tend to be natural born leaders~ thats how they get elected to positions of leadership. Maybe you should offer kitties?

Then selfless leaders don't exist unless they're involuntary leaders, which often carries its own set of problems. Your reasoning here isn't necessarily bad (although I disagree with it) but it does come off as contrived. I don't think you actually believe that a "good leader is selfless" position is reasonably enforced in a game of Mafia. It sounds like this "I only support the humble" position you're pushing is only to gain trust.

So are Mafia Players, El Hypocritico~

DH, you really should consider the kitties

I think he just really wants a puppy, but is too proud to admit it.

I disagree. Your self vote tells me you want the power that comes with being a leader, which tells me you're not concerned with the greater good. A good *civvie* player would take the 48 hours that we have and consider a multitude of options rather than immediately volunteering and self voting. A good *leader* is in my opinion, someone who does not want or desire to be a leader. Unlikely places, as the host would say. If your focus is not on yourself but on those around you, those who depend on your leadership, then you will make the best decisions possible as a leader.

Good mafia are good liars, yes.

Who do you think would be a good leader DH?

Still figuring that one out. I'll know when I vote for them :P

Hello friends!
So much conversation already. Picking a leader seems really tough, especially since I only know a few people here! I guess I will learn as we go along, though.
SVS, what is a macarthur? Made and I are nice people, I promise!

Hello kitty friends! I, Boogs would like to be your leader and help lead us to a kitty misfit world of sunshine and tuna! A vote for Boogs is a vote for a winner

MacArthur was a US military general, a famed strategist in WWII. A renowned leader

I do like kitties, Boogs. What a compelling argument! I'm tempted to vote for you.

Thank you SVS! I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I guess I should have paid more attention in history class, haha.
