Game Start
Welcome to Syndicate!

The order has been randomly determined based on your signup time and chosen numbers, and the order will be as follows:
Blue (Wesley / SpaceManiac)
Red (DrGamer / Mr. Onion)
Purple (CheeseLord)
Orange (blackmyth)
Yellow (Julian)
Green (regeneratorizer / PlasmaCannonsRule)

We're still waiting on confirmation on one of the syndicates, but hopefully he'll get back in time.
Your initial contacts are being PMed to you, along with their blocks. $12M has been successfully transferred, so...

It's game time.

YELLOW, IT IS YOUR TURN.
Julian

I don't think you were registered as playing...

[diginova]

I'll be out of town for a couple days, so 2002 will end Tuesday.

[SpaceManiac]

diginova, you appear to be back, yet play has not continued! What's up?

[Wesley]

Oh, wow! I completely forgot about this for a long time, and when I remembered it, I thought I would have been kicked out by now. It's good to see I'm still here.

[diginova]

Play will restart on Sunday. I want to keep the same days; I have not abandoned the game.

[SpaceManiac]

Ah, I see.

[blackmyth]

Is the game still going?

[Hammer Up!]

if this is going i wanna join.

[SpaceManiac]

Play will restart on Sunday. I want to keep the same days; I have not abandoned the game.
Um, yeah you have.

[ElMikkino]

Digi has kinda left Hamumu:cry:....

[Coolguy]

According to his dumb page, he hasn't visited in 18 days. How can he go that long without going into withdrawal? :p I'll have to figure out how to replace him.

[Ufo-Man]

Hm... We need somebody smart....

[ElMikkino]

Coolguy? Hammered?

[blackmyth]

It would be impossible to get a new host for this game right now. Right now Digi has all the images, links, and PMs.

[diginova]

Well, since I seem to have dropped off the face of the map and it's now over a year and a half later, this version of Syndicate is officially over, since I'm not even sure the players visit this forum anymore.

However, it has been restarted!
Signups for Syndicate 2.0 are NOW OPEN and available HERE. (http://hamumu.com/forum/showthread.php?p=259668)

This game is 100% guaranteed to finish, as I have made it so someone can take over if something happens.

Moderators, this thread can now officially be locked.
