The Syndicate

All role PMs have been sent.

Please PM me if you were expecting one but did not receive one.

I appreciate everyone's patience. The extra day has been helpful in enabling me to identify niggling problem areas in the setup and tweak them accordingly.

Roles will go out directly.

I will likely start tomorrow. Today was very busy and I am zonked.

I should be able to begin this evening after supper.

Two more to begin.

What would suit you?

I like to hover around 7pm EST myself or thereabouts, but I'm on vacation and can accommodate most anything that doesn't end in "AM."

Oh! Phase lengths would be 48 hour Days / 23 hour Nights.

does the game start when filled or is there a start date?

Welcome.

I don't have a specific start date. Usually things start when filled. We're one-third of the way there.

This is going to be a glorious thing. I promise.

Triumvirates: Each individual will be part of a triumvirate. This assignment can have an effect on certain stats.

Presence: The value of your vote. For example, if your Presence is 1.0, your vote is worth 1.0 that Day. If your Presence is 1.2, your vote is worth 1.2 that Day.

Quickness: The protection you have against votes. For example, if your Quickness is 1.0, the vote total against you will be reduced by 1.0 that Day. If your Quickness is 1.2, the vote total against you will be reduced by 1.2 that Day.

Glory: The number of Night actions you have available to you. For example, if your Glory is 1.9, you have one Night action available to you. If your Glory is 2.0, you may use your Night action twice that Night. If your Glory is 0.9, you have no Night action available to you. If a member of your triumvirate is banished during the Night, you lose half of your glory.

Hope: After you are banished, you may still have some residual influence on the Rites. You may add this number to any number of stats by any number of exiles. For example, if your Hope is 1.0 when you are banished, you may add 1.0 to Player A’s Presence. Alternatively, you may add 0.2 to Player A’s Presence, add 0.3 to Player B’s Quickness, and 0.5 to Player C’s Hope. These points must be disbursed before the next Day or Night ends or they are forfeit. If a member of your triumvirate is banished during the Day, you lose half of your hope.

Sol: The currency of the Downside. You may use Sol to purchase merchandise from the Slugmarket.
