The Syndicate

You may have seen this sort of game described as a "hydra" game. Two players sign up together and utilize a single account as a team to try to win the game with whatever faction.

This game will operate largely without a theme, as I want to leave all the themes out there for the non-special games. The theme will develop itself in the form of the team accounts. That unique dynamic is the attraction.

If this goes well, it may facilitate future games of a similar construction, even perhaps in the non-special game types.

The setup will be simple, drawing from the heist matrix MP, Sloonei, and I have used in the past.

Cycles will be either 36/12 or 24/24. If it's the former, deadlines will be posted by the host instead of within the poll. Either way we'll still use the poll.

To sign up, simply click the poll above. Any two members can be teamed together. If two people have already devised a team, say so and I will make note here. Each team will be given access to a sock account which will be named whatever you like (assuming it is tasteful). No accent marks allowed though, because apparently those cause chaos.

If you have any questions, lemme have 'em.

Participants: (10 of 9-10 teams)
Rimworld Boyz (Quin/Kylemii)
The Dry Flood (Golden/Marmot)
ColinIsSpeed (ColinIsCool/speedchuck)
2 Stupid Dogs (Turnip Head/dunya)
Galactic Mac (SnakeDaisy/MacDougall)
M Plus 1 (M Plus 7/Tsaiah)
Lunatella (nutella/Lunalee)
DrSloogy (DrWilgy/Sloonei)
Cuphead and Mugman (Epignosis/Simon)
Fratyo (sprityo/Fractal)

Date?! Woah woah now I thought we were just friends here

Acknowledging the golden marmot and chuckiscool.

[mention]dunya[/mention], the start date will likely be the day of or the day after this reaches 9-10 teams of 2. It's hard to say how long that will take. At the present pace maybe a few more days, but things do tend to slow down in the teens.

Remember also that I will need team names.

turnd up unya head

Ok it’s me and marmot

I think [mention]Dyslexicon[/mention] and [mention]Owner of a Lonely Heart[/mention] should hydra and tag team kick some butt in this! Will be a great introductory game to The Syndicate for Owner too methinks

Sign up then

4 teams down. 5 to go. We can fill this up in a week would be ideal for me.

Okay but we owe it to ourselves to come up with a much better username tbh

[mention]dunya[/mention] I want to be Eeyorebjorn. It's just Torbjorn from Overwatch and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh literally stitched together at the hip

No idea what Overwatch is but I love Eeyore so I'm down if you're down.

Quin and Kyle should be Bananas in Pyjamas

Torbjorn is like a Swedish engineer, so he's got that going for him, he's got a big blonde beard and oh just let me show you

Is that how you think I look like?

No that's me doofus

do u like

His accent is like super thick and he's the size of a kindergartner

I'm supposed to be on break, especially since my status for future Champs games is currently undetermined, but I'm considering this. I've always wanted to play a hydra game, and it would be a good time for me to play it because I shouldn't play solo right now.

I love the crotch armor

Nice Swedish flag placement for sure.

I approve of this look especially since he's shorter than me.

[mention]Epignosis[/mention] and [mention]Elochin[/mention] should tag team kick our butts

Neither of us can oblige. Her mother will be visiting in two days for a week, and then shortly after that, we'll be traveling.

Oh there's a poll! I voted in it.
