Also, I missed the first game and the scenes thread lost me after the first couple of quotes. Does anyone maybe want to write up a quick tl;dr of the last game? I get the impression the storyline and events are a direct follow on from last game.

yup.

In the first game, a criminal organization known only as The Syndicate had a puppet dictator on a string in the Carribean, and used him for drug transports. Four of the five nations on the security council of the UN sent in their best, with the goal of removing this president from his comfy chair, but since each of the four wanted something else done once the dictator was gone, they competed amongst themselves as much as they did against the Syndicate.

The Syndicate, by the by, had infiltrators in every spy faction.

In the end, the Russians and Americans were both declared winners.

Now, the Syndicate, rather than going for money as in game 1, is looking to stir political shit up by trying to get control over the ORPHEUS device, thus creating chaos amongst all the big countries.

Like in Spycraft 1, the Syndicate players share nationalities (American, Chinese, European, Japanese, Russian) with spies - there are for example no Angolan scum.
Whether or not every team is infiltrated by the Syndicate and whether or not there is only 1 scum amongst each team infiltrated that way (as they were in Spycraft 1), is unknown (to you).

I don't think it really matters, to be honest. Basically the syndicate leader of the last game has moved on to a new arena after failing in her last endeavour and is hatching a new nefarious scheme. I think that's all the background that is needed.

[Serc]

The last game had quite detailed scenes, so that if you were paying attention you could find yourself in the scenes and regardless of what action you did you could have a fair guess at if the other person was scum.
Other than that i dont think the events in the last game are going to be that important in this game other than maybe a few of the characters who survived coming back

There are 22 players in the game, as intended. There are 23 alts, as intended. There are no mod-puppets, either. Everything proceeds as planned.

Holy ! as if further proof was needed that this game will be awesome!

Sweet, game is on!

From the looks of it someone in the game has two accounts? Way to induce WTF on the first page of the thread PS

Thats probably the most likely case but knowing tapper could be a bunch of other things too - like a non-player alt belonging to a particular nationality and the players of that nationlity do some actions in tnadem with it or something.... the possibilities are endless and awesome!

Aah, ok. I was scared that the fact that an american named x had done some or other thing might have some sort of relevance in this game, or that there might be references in the scenes. Guess it's not going to work like that.

Hmm, from PS's comment, it sounds like there will be somewhere in the region of 5 scum? Five sounds about right for a 23 player game, but it really depends on what powers the syndicate have. This is going to be a difficult game to gauge close to end time.

The only thing that does impact the game is, as stated in the rules:

Quote

Some of the survivors of Spycraft 1 may return, with both old and new abilities;

But even then, it is all theorycraft how many, which ones, and how they're modified, and I'd recommend concentrating on 2.0 rather than re-reading 1.0 .

Tapper, boosting the post count.

[Kaschan]

77th!

In the last game IIRC there was 4 scum and 17 total players (went back and checked the sign-up thread) - so increasing the number of players by 6 (counting the extra alt) leads me to believe there are possibly 6 scum (or 5 scum and 1 extra alt). Of course this is all useless speculation at this point, but that's my estimate. Then again, it is Tapper.

[Ruse]

Hey, hey, hey.

The wave is here and checking in! But like a true wave, my presence is only temporary. Gotta go!

[Kaschan]

Vote Ruse - for being all wavy and stuff

Is this code? Or a slip? or did you not read the opening scene?

Im beginning to think Emu and Serc are the same player. Just gut but hey, they both hop in and out at the same time. Thats something. Right?

Hey hey.

It is weird that there's 23 alts when Tapper said the max was 22, but not much use speculating as to why.

This is bad. Theres nothing wrong with speculating why there is 22 players and 23 alts. This post stinks.
