Note: March was a very bloody month; the Top 10 Killers alone are responsible for over 300 kills. VIP Lamont record breaking consecutive Top Killer run has come to an end at 3. Lynsey; Moses; Damon the Blair have topped Lamont in total kills for March. Although Lamont’s record breaking run may be over the S’aints are not done setting new records with 8 members making the list. Setting a record for most gang members to appear in a Top Killers list for a single month. Blair came in like a wrecking ball to take the top spot for the very first time. This is the 4th consecutive month S’aints had one of theirs top the list.
Month: April 2016

100th
This here is the 100th article to be published on the Underground Syn Report. The success of this blog is very near and dear to us; we have put in the effort and made the decisions to get us here. We are proud of our work and thankful to everyone who follows along on the passionate reports about our favorite combat sim.
100 articles later we look back at some of the most popular segments and share the story behind them. The Underground Syn Report may have formed with a common purpose; along this journey the path we have taken differed. We are thankful to the current and past Underground Syn Report members who have contributed to this blog; you know who you are.
Word is
Word is was our news series. It was modeled after Gazette’s Rumor has it. The stories were rumors and jokes designed to poke fun and entertain; they often went OOC and they were not intended to be factual. Word is gave our readers content to read while the Underground ironed out the ultimate algorithm. The Underground was to be a combat focused OOC blog, not a definite IC news source similar to the Syn City Gazette. Word is would eventually die; but the writer left during our height and it is a segment we would like to continually run after the ultimate algorithm was ready. We are keeping our fingers crossed; the Word is writer is considering making a return to the Underground.
Fantasy Syn
The Syn version of Fantasy Football was introduced to push combat and respect between members of opposing gangs. Our hopes were a group in each gang would play Fantasy Syn. Like Fantasy Football; in Fantasy Syn one would pick members to form their team. The teams would be made up of a variety of members of different gangs. Each week your team would play against another team in your league; the Underground would publish scores based on kills and deaths those members have earned in real Syn combat. In turn; you have skin in every gang fight that happens in Syn.
Top Killers
Our oldest running segment. Each month we tally up the kills and the deaths; we rank them to find the Top 10 Killers and publish their names, kill count and gang affiliation on this blog. We chose not to publish deaths publicly because of Kill/Death ratio concerns. Our belief is a top killer will take every opportunity to kill and join every backup call possible. The more killers out there the better it is for Syn activity and roleplay. The greatest fighters that come to mind have taken the top spot of the list.
Growth Ranks
Growth Ranks was another monthly segment we used to run with Top Killers. Growth Ranks were there to help motivate weaker gangs to recruit and grow. Their efforts would be acknowledged and ranked each month. At the time we were very confident with the Ultimate Algorithm. Growth percent was based on the difference between a gang’s ultimate rating compared to the previous month. It appeared to be in line with sim observations until the Vipers recruited many noobs sending their ultimate rating soaring to obscene heights. Growth Rank was silently killed because the Ultimate Algorithm was not able to properly handle the many new recruits the strongest gang obtained that month. We have made many tweaks since; this segment may return in the near future.
Syn City Census
A annual series we put a lot of hard work and pride into. We take all citizens of Syn and rank them based on levels and then experience for the strongest. Then we compile two lists; the Top 10 strongest newcomers and the Top 50 strongest overall. For 2014 we went through all profiles and compiled a census list of limits; that was too much work to repeat in 2015. 2015 was the first year we tracked kills for an entire year and we did a Top Killers of 2015 special. We originally planned on publishing Ultimate Algorithm charts as part of the Census. We changed our minds; it will come in a brand new series to be announced soon.
The Future
These are the backstories to our most popular segments from the last 100 articles. In the next 100; we plan on focusing more on kills; combat and balance. We have strayed away from our original mission; the Underground Syn Report is back on track. Stay tuned; our best and originally intended work is yet to come.
