You are ALEXANDER SEDRICK, THE FINANCIER, SYNDICATE ASSOCIATE
You are a very important man: you are providing the cash flow for this operation. However, you'd much prefer to do this from the comfort of your hotel room, rather than get your hands dirty. As such, there's not a lot you can do but sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
You have no abilities.

Ok, the deal is, we're capped here for the next week. So loading web pages will be somewhat of an exercise in futility. I'll still be here, but I probably won't be answering anything or posting anything of substance till then. Y'know, on the offchance that there IS something to post on, since I'm not going to be previewing this post...:o
I really figured there would be more content when I claimed vig...guess I was wrong. Maybe everyone is hiding behind their local doctor or Xyre.
Note: The last game of Xyre's that I remember was crazy Sci-fi stuff with guys in gas masks and flavor. This game seems to be comprised of syndicate (sounds morally gray) and conspirators (also morally gray). I'm still trying to figure out what to make of it.
One thing though: Shadow Knight's first post started with a "C" and that's also the first letter of "conspirator" and he's also claimed he can use 4 abilities at once, while a joke claim, it's kinda even more random than my vig claim, which is kind of funny to me. Seems like a good place to start: Vote: Shadow Knight

It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.

He jerks awake, eyes darting to find the source. An elderly woman, in a tattered sweater, sitting in a chair across a desk from him. What's missing... ah. The Commerzbank Tower, 44th floor. The offices of Schwartz and Lieber, GmbH. And... that's why I'm here.
"Excuse me?"
Right. "...I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?"
"Mr. Sedrick, I must say, I'm not appreciating this level of interest one bit", the woman said. She has a purse clenched in her hands, sitting in her lap, and a scowl. She speaks English, Sedrick's only language, albeit not terribly well, making this transaction even more brutal. This woman is a multimilionaire, though, heir to a brewing fortune, and not one to be trifled with, especially if Sedrick is to keep the contract alive. And this contract is essential for S&L - it represents ten percent of their clientele, and it hinges upon the two of them working out a payment plan.
"I apologize, ma'am. Now, please, if we could just..."
She shakes her head, and Sedrick's stomach freezes, as if a bullet had just passed through his chest. "I'm going down the hall to talk to your superviser." He meekly nods, then puts his head in his hands. ****. Stupid old woman takes offense at any provocation. With a grimace, he grabs his coat and quickly exits his office, not waiting around for his super to bring his palm across the back of Sedrick's head. Out of the building, he breathes in the cold air of the day.
Pulling out a cigarette, he turns to go to his car, parked around the corner, but collides on his way with a young man carrying a small package. Hastily apologizing, tossing his cigarette to help the deliveryman with the box, he queries as to the destination, discovering it's for him. Unsurprising, to be sure, as most of the mail in the office goes to him, part of a prank played out long ago by a co-worker that has never been corrected due to the logistical snafus changing mailing addresses for clients would create. However, the box is addressed to him. Nodding in acceptance, he takes the box to his car, an old BMW. Pulling out his car key, he rips open the tape and looks inside, before withdrawing, shocked. The box was heavy because it was full of money - dozens of bundles of hundred-pound notes. Unbelievable. Where is this all from?
He pours out the box's contents, discovering a note on the bottom instructing him to a small bar down the road. His face numbly gleeful, he moves back to the driver's seat, hiding the box of money underneath, and drives to the pub - one of those bars that pretends to have a certain Irish-style charm and prominently serves Guinness in spite of the fact that most of its clientele eschew the stuff for a variety of reasons. The only patron (not surprising for three in the afternoon) is a tall gentleman wearing a black fedora, drinking a cup of tea. Sedrick nods, and when the man gestures to the other chair, sits down.
The man introduces himself as one L'hopital, and says he represents a certain organization. He says that they have been scouting out Sedrick's services for several months now, and recognize he's both well-liked in S&L and very adept at procuring funding. The image of his meeting with the crotchety old woman flashes across his mind, but Sedrick's face is still numb with grim delight and he merely nods. L'hopital continues, saying that the money in the box is for him, whether he accepts the offer or not, but that it's merely an ante on a much larger prize. He asks whether Sedrick is interested, and without thinking, Sedrick nods again. L'hopital smiles quietly and sips his tea, which Sedrick recognizes immediately as ordinary Earl Grey. L'hopital tells him that his first job is to go to his firm and transfer as much money as he can out of the firm's various accounts to one whose information is scribbled on a piece of paper L'hopital passes across the table. I don't have access to such funds, Sedrick replies quickly. L'hopital grins and says that he knows Sedrick does, as a principal and well-respected member of the financial department at S&L, and can do so quickly. After he gets as much out as he can, Sedrick is to leave the building and contact L'hopital's associates for the next instruction. Sedrick nods, takes the piece of paper, and immediately leaves, leaving his new employer smiling, quietly sipping his tea with profundity.
Ok, so the syndicate is a group of money loving semi-corrupted individuals...and the "bad" people are the ones trying to bring it down (i.e. even more corrupted and money loving.) This should be very interesting. People should post more.

WoLG, being a little jumpy? It's only a second vote from SK. Unvote becaus the random stage is apparently over =[
I think it's rather anti-town behavior to vote someone and try to start a bandwagon voting spree based on nothing. You can't get a lot of behavior analysis or solid content from someone when the only possible defense is "There is no way to argue against a randomly generated wagon."
The game has to start sometime.

Guardman stated, in response to why he voted for DYH, that he had no reason for his vote. This was after the random stage, so I thought his reasonless vote was vote worthy.
