The Syndicate

The Roles

The Civilians

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (4): These four players begin with no BTSC, but every night they each can search for another band member. Once two Members find each other, they stop searching, so there will end up being two sets of two BTSC pairs at most. Once all four band members have paired up, each pair can send the other one anonymous message via the host.

Billy Shears: Once at least two of the band members have paired up, Billy gains one Rez.

Lucy: A woman every bit as Mysterious as she is beautiful. Each night she will lead someone through an acid laced vision. The effects of this will be a surprise to be interpreted only by the person she targets.

Runaway Girl: vanilla Civ unless targeted by Mother then she changes alignment and a secret is activated.

Mother: Stops one person from having fun every night thereby role blocking them, if she targets The Runaway, she changes alignment and a secret will be activated.

Mr. Kite: As the crazy ringmaster, each night he protects one person hoping to keep his circus safe to benefit him with another performance.

Mr. Henderson: Using his amazing gymnastic abilities, Mr. Henderson can avoid being hit by a night target, without knowing what the power was, he will redirect it to someone else.

Henry the Horse: Seriously, a dancing horse! He can avoid being lynched by amazing all with his fancy footwork. If he should win a lynch poll, Henry can switch the lynch to one of the payers who voted for him.


Mafia (2 Teams)

Silly People (2): NK on even nights
All abilities are team abilities rather than role abilities. They have one Rez to use once during the game. They also may role block another player on the odd nights when they do not kill. And they have one Secret Ability.

Teachers (2): NK on odd nights
All abilities are team abilities rather than role abilities. They have one lynch protection to be used once during the game, as with Henry the Horse they can switch the lynch to one of the players who voted for them if they should win the lynch poll. They also role block on the even nights when they do not kill. And they have one Secret Ability.


Independent

Lovely Rita: Each night Rita can impound someone's vehicle. This person is then unable to vote, or post. They are effectively dead, but they have a possibility of returning to the game. Each night a coin will be flipped and if it is heads one of her impounded vehicles will be released. If she dies, all impounded vehicles will be released and those players will return to play. Her win condition is that of a SK, she needs to be the last woman standing.

The Rules:
1. No illegal Behind The Scenes Conversation (aka BTSC). You may only discuss the game within this thread unless your role stipulates otherwise.

2. Have fun, but treat other players with respect. I have mod killed people before for their inability to follow this guideline. You will get one warning, if you don't stop, I won't hesitate to mod kill or replace you.

3. Do not copy and paste any PMs you receive from me into the thread.

4. Do not out your own role or someone else's. Role hinting is fine, but role outing spoils the fun of the game.

5. Dead players use Dead Red (and cannot speak on topic once they die), Non-players use NP Blue, Off topic conversation is in OT Green, and sarcasm can be highlighted in Sarc Orange. All these have handy buttons in the formatting at the top for your ease of use!

If you take issue with something I or one of your fellow players do or say, the moderator on duty is MovingPictures07, he is here to make sure things are dealt with and will be glad to step in if needed. Don't hesitate to contact him if you have questions or concerns.

This will be my host color for the game, so please don't use it. If you have a question you can either PM it to me privately or post it bolded in the thread.

Have fun!

New game!!!

SD - does anyone have info about this poll?

LittleTiger wrote:New game!!!

No one has any information regarding this poll.

Yay game!

Okay, since no-one has info, I will just go with the first one and vote Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I Get by With a. Little Help From My Friends has kinda been my theme song the last several years, so I went with that

Everyone needs friends~

I'm voting Kite because its most like Kate

I voted for Getting Better, I've never heard the song but based off the name it makes me feel good. Because I used to suffer from depression and stuff but through a daily uphill battle, you know what, I am getting better

FYI my boyfriend and I are going to Orlando to visit a friend for his birthday this weekend starting Friday, going to disney & universal. I'll be back home on Monday. I'll have my iPad to check the game in the evenings, but I wouldn't expect me to be active until I get back

Chaindeath enters the club with high hopes for an awesome show. He wishes for A Day In The Life to be played. Yes...a day in the life of chaindeath would make quite a song indeed...

Voting for A Day in the Life.

Anyone more familiar with the band have any input as to what songs might have a positive influence for the civs based on the lyrics or anything? I know SD said no one has info but obviously the result will still affect the game in some way

I don't really think any of them have specifically "baddie" connotations, Sgt Peppers is for the most part a pretty cheerful album.

Teachers are mentioned in It's Getting Better, but it is in a negative sense ("the teachers who taught me weren't cool"); Fixing A Hole mentions the Silly People. But since they are both mentioned negatively in those songs, i am not sure if they would benefit or not?

Voted for "Getting Better" because if you open with a song called Getting Better, your concert will...get better.

It's eerily quiet

I had a hard time deciding between Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and With a Little Help From my Friends!! But I enjoy the latter a little bit more

Yay for a Beatles themed game - life on The Syndicate is starting off so sweetly <3

One of my favorite tunes was an option so I *voted Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds*

I agree with SVS not sure if the poll would accurately reflect who benefits from what option and having played a daisy game before I tend to think things are never as clear cut as they may seem.

Linky Devin

Yay game!

I think When I'm Sixty-Four is one of the sweetest songs, and rather underrated, so I'll go with that one.

I'm going with A Day in the Life, since it's my favorite off the album.

This made me giggle! Consider yourself sigged my sweet Roxy!

Yay new game!

I picked With a Little Help From My Friends because it's one of my favorite songs.

I hadn't heard the album until I signed up for this game. Listened to it the first time yesterday. And the second time, and the third time.

It's definitely a great album. But The White Album is still better.

*Hides*

You can think of it as another convert.

I voted for the Reprise of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Because I dunno, I thought it sounded nice.

Looking forward to this new game.

Just checking in on my lunch break still not much going on yet. Hi FH!

The lights dim and a hush falls over the excited audience. In the darkness, the band strikes the first chord of their opening song and then the lights flood the stage. Flyin' High squeals in delight as she recognizes With a Little Help From My Friends. SVS grins happily and sings along. Everyone in the audience can feel that this is the show of a lifetime. Spacedaisy watches with rapt attention, drinking in every moment.Then a movement captures her eye to the right of the stage and just as the lights flash she can clearly make out a figure of someone and they are carrying a gun. Then the figure disappears backstage through a side door. Her heart jumps as she considers what this means and with a worried glance toward the band, she hurries after the figure. As the door shuts behind her she pauses to allow her eyes times to adjust. In that moment she feels the cold hard metal of a gun barrel press into her back and the mysterious assassin says quietly, "You should not have followed me. I payed a fortune for this ticket just so I could get close enough and now you have seen me. Do you know what this means?"

Spacedaisy can barely breathe from fear, begging, "Please don't do this..."

The assassin's voice is level and dismissive as they reply, "You've left me no choice. I can't let you interfere with my goals," and so saying, fired the gun.

Daisy toppled over, and as the blood pooled beneath her the last thing her eyes saw was the band finishing With A Little Help From My Friends.

It is now Day 1.

Spacedaisy is dead! You may all mourn appropriately.

Those that are affected by the track choice will be notified by PM momentarily. You have 24 hours to choose who you would like to lynch.

Good luck!

Spacedaisy is dead! You may all mourn appropriately.

Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.

Oh no! Not SpaceDaisy! We shall avenge you!!!!

RIP Daisy. My guitar gently weeps...

Awe, best mafia mourning ever! But you better be careful quoting Shakespeare to me, MP might get jealous.

*is suddenly modkilled in Avante*

"Spacedaisy NO!!!" Chaindeath screamed. Hot, angry tears streamed down his face. He is not pleased with her death. He shall return when more is to be reviewed and when the time comes, may the perpetrator be dealt with appropriately.

RIP SD

I wonder if DH was affected by the poll, was that poem a product of that or just something he did?~

I'm going to look into who hasn't checked in yet because im curious

Wasn't a poem, was an excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Also, wasn't a result of the poll :P

Did anyone screencap the poll? It never works for me, I don;'t bother trying any more, lol.

@Daisy~ are we allowed to discuss prizes, specifically if we did or did not get one?

RIP sweet Daisy!

I 2nd S~V~S request for the poll as I did not have time to capture it either.....

Chaindeath is sorry to say that he will have to pick a random target for today, as he will be going to sleep and will not check this until tomorrow after the poll has ended. He rolled three six sided dice and came up with eight, eight on the list is DH. He requests that you don't decide to lynch him for randomizing this kill.

You can discuss anything you want with the limitation that you cannot copy and paste any messages you receive from me into the thread, and you cannot out your role or someone else's.

RIP daisy <3 always the Host dies

I have time to see if anything happens but for now my thinking is that I will probs random betwixt those who have not checked in.

also I am humbled to be in your sig daisy <33

I will have to vote now as I might not be fully awake when the poll ends tomorrow and I do not want to miss the vote. Since there hasn't been time for much discussion, I am randomizing between those who have not checked in yet.

*vote Vloddamick*

chaindeath forgot to vote in the poll, that was a vote right? I'm not completely sure, because when I read the posts I'm confused by the talking in third person

It looks like I'll probably be able to check in on my lunch break tomorrow before the poll closes, so I'll hold off voting for now.

Hmm, well I have nothing yet, so I'll likely end up randomizing in the morning. And I realize that contributed virtually nothing to the discussion, but that seems to be the trend anyway.
