The Syndicate

You see, this year we're going to play the Sockys instead of merely watch them or present them. It will be a sprawling event covering a week (or so) in which awards are presented over the course of a Mafia game. Special thanks to [mention]G-Man[/mention] for providing the inspiration.

The details of how the game will be structured and specifically themed are not to be revealed at this point. However, we will be very flexible about how many players may participate, even if it ends up being a small number. This is meant to be for fun (as is any game obviously), and it isn't necessary to have this waiting in sign-ups for an extremely long time. However, keep in mind that it will not begin until the Game of Champions has concluded.

So, sign-ups are open. If you want to play, you may play! There are no restrictions and the number can be anything (minimum seven).

Also, keep in mind that soon we will open voting for various award categories as we have in years past. It'll be a hoot. For now you can start to think about the more obvious categories and how you might approach them in the ballot box. Awards will be presented throughout the game, but the voting process will entirely precede it.

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] and [mention]juliets[/mention] are working this alongside me and I am grateful.

wait what

Hey guys, everyone come and play this game! It will be a fun special game because it's the Sockys! All you maybes, come stick your toe in the water is great.

Since Asunder is done, I am in.

letting me choose 2 options was a mistake

Alongside such esteemed fellows as JJJ and SD....

I'm in. What is this game? Is this a spontaneous game? Do I have to vote in the Sockys to play? Does it affect the Sockys?

I've decided I'm also in charge, thanks

This should be that live game I was talking about with Mac and Daisy!

Yes

Not everyone can play a live game.

We can get this started soon, yes?

It'll have to start after we close voting for the awards, but yes still generally soon. The voting deadline is now set for Sunday the 27th at 11:59 PM.

1. It's a Mafia game! Further details omitted.

2. It was planned a few months back.

3. Nope!

4. Only the experience of seeing the awards presented.

One detail I am happy to provide is that the cycles will be 24/24. This won't be a long one.

24 minutes days and 24 minute nights. I can dig it.

you guys should also sign up for TH's game if youre not already

Just realised I'm out of the country between the 28th and the 9th so I won't be able to play if the game starts during that time, so I'll switch to a maybe just in case. Consider me in if I'm gonna miss, like, one in-game day or something though.

Ahhh gotta remember to get my votes in

you better be tbh

I should be able to actually play mafia now, so I'm in.

I’ll be getting back into school when this is happening. Someone remind me to get my votes in before then.

Hi everyone, so happy to see those of you who have signed up for the game! Don't forget to also get your votes in for the Sockys if you haven't already!

With the game set to begin soon, I will need a finalized number of participants to ensure balance and preparation are ideal. The following folks are in the "maybe" group but not also either the "yes" or "no" groups:

[mention]sprityo[/mention]
[mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention]
[mention]sig[/mention]
[mention]nijuukyugou[/mention]
[mention]Quin[/mention]

I'd appreciate it if y'all could make a final call today. Otherwise I will chalk you in as replacement candidates (which are always good to have). Thanks!

I'm going to ask Eloh about this. I bet she doesn't even know about it.

I'd like to play if it's under 20 players but couldn't really manage something bigger.

I'm going to set a hard cap at 18. That's the maximum.

i dont know what to vote on though

Ok why not

I'd be happy to make you a replacement candidate if you like.

Roles?

Likely arriving tonight, but only after the awards voting deadline has passed. The actual game will open tomorrow.

Thanks!
