The Syndicate

Posted: **Thu May 20, 2021 3:29 pm**

A game for 24 players, 12 from each community

Hosted by Dyslexicon and Marmot

Cindy Kate (Syndicate) and Percy (Personality Cafe) go on a date. It is May 21, 2021. They expected a normal evening, or at least, a fairly uneventful one, when they entered their favorite cafe, sitting down across from each other at a candlelit table, sharing a casual joke with the server, debating the health effects and environmental impact of ordering steak and ordering it anyway, sharing smiles and other more provocative looks. But this was not a normal evening. No... A rather unexpected turn was to be had!

hi friends, i’m super excited to be the MoD for this game!

for those that don’t know, each game on the syndicate is assigned a moderator on duty (MoD). it’s my job to act as a third party that you can go to if something during the game upsets you or there’s a conflict between you and another player or the hosts. if you’re feeling frustrated at any point or just want to talk, don’t hesitate to message me! i also may reach out to people as needed (and to chat/catch up ). hope you all have fun on your first date!

Agent MU007 fumbled with his recorder. He tried to keep his distance as he followed the pair walking just ahead of him. One was taller, with curly, frizzy hair. One was shorter, with long, blond hair, tied in a messy ponytail. Was it a girl? He couldn’t quite tell. They were walking slowly, their voices cheerful, though varying in volume. He hoped his recorder was able to pick up on what they were saying.

This was his first mission. An important mission for Mafia University. They needed to know. They needed to know what was going on over at The Syndicate, and why Mafia Café had spent so much time there lately. Could they pose a threat?

MU007 dared a little closer. The taller one spoke.

“I definitely think we should have some mechanics that highlights the two different communities in a way. What do you think, Dizzy?”

“Yeah, I love that! Wait. What do you mean, exactly?

So, the long haired one was Dizzy. Agent MU007 had heard of this Dizzy. He had played in the previous championship where he fake claimed a power role as VT. MU007 furrowed his brows. He didn’t approve. That was certainly not how he had learned to play at Mafia University. The other one would be Marmot then, he figured. He had heard colleagues talk about Marmot, how he claimed mafia as either alignment and changed his vote frequently. There was quite the file on him at the university.

“Hey, how do you feel about day kills?”

“I love day kills! Oh, but I hate cults and alignment changes!”

“Me too!”

Agent MU007 froze. Were they seriously thinking of adding day kills? Those madmen!

“…which could be 1-shot…”

“…not too strong…”

“…reasonable amount of…”

He had fallen too far behind. It was difficult to overhear their discussion.
“Should we add one more?”

“Wait. Do you remember that weird third party role in that one game…”

“…they need to be careful not to take that too lightly. Imagine if they won the whole thing!”

Both Marmot and Dizzy snickered. They were quite possibly drunk, Agent MU007 thought to himself.

“There are really so many things we can do! Ghosts, conditions, redirection, vote manipulation!”

“We can’t include it all, can we?”

“Will this be balanced?”

“Maybe we should just do mountainous.”

“Maybe… I just hope they have fun with it!”

MU007 had heard enough. There were too many messy ideas. And they even intended to have fun! He pressed stop on the recorder and hurried back to the university. He didn’t know what the reaction would be over at the headquarters, but he did know this: This game was going to be a disaster!

Day 1 has begun. You have 47.5 hours.

You may now post.

The poll for placing votes will be posted momentarily.

I’m still a regular mafia player, I put my crown on one head at a time, just like you.

Posted: **Fri May 21, 2021 4:11 pm**

Looking at my poll options, I'm not sure I've actually played with most of these players... or, if I have, it's been a while. I did play a few PerC games in what was that, early 2018? Eons ago.

I hear prospective dates love it when you spend the whole night boasting about past achievements.

Hi, I'm Dizzy! And I'm looking for those special ones. YES, IN PLURAL.

If you love me, I will most likely love you. I'm quite uncomplicated that way.
Watch out for complications in all other areas.
Once, I got lost for hours at my own high school.
I usually cry when looking at a starlit sky.

I like moderately long walks in nature if the weather is nice.
Since I live in Norway, it's not.
Please take me away from this place.

I hope you all find the love that you deserve!

Look, I have to go to work now. I know it was probably strange to schedule a first date 30 minutes before my shift, but I like to keep things fresh like that

this was a lot of fun, we should do it again sometime

Posted: **Fri May 21, 2021 4:23 pm**

It occurs to me that my typical first date experience is often a lot like my typical Day 1 experience in Mafia -- I feel like I have to do most of the talking to keep things moving, and it usually ends with me losing.
