The Syndicate

You’re a severed employee working at Lumon Industries (town).

Three times during the game during any separate Night phases, you may select two players (you must indicate an A and a B). Player A's night action will be redirected to Player B instead of its intended target. This ability cannot affect mafia factional night kills.

You are the Enduring Legacy of Keir Eagan, founder of Lumon Industries.

You are his modern descendants (perhaps even "The Board"), and you carry out whatever obscure mission truly drove him in his life. Your direct employees think they understand that mission, at least in part, and maybe they do. Or maybe they're unwitting parts of a grander experiment, and while they manage the rats in your Skinner Box you pull their strings in turn. Not even the host of his Mafia game knows what you're truly about. Maybe that will come to light in season 2?

You are the only player in this game with permanent visual access to both active game threads. However, you may only post and vote in your present game thread. You may submit a PRIVATE vote (worth only one half vote) to the host for the opposite game thread, but this must be done at least one hour prior to the close of a "Day" phase (Workday or Evening phases) to be counted.

During each "Night" phase of the game (Closed Hours and Night phases), in addition to Phase Zero, you must submit a prediction to the host. Predict both the username and the alignment (town or mafia) of the player who will be eliminated by vote next in each game thread: town or mafia. If 1) your username prediction is correct for three consecutive eliminations between threads, 2) you're correct about alignment for at least five eliminations within a span of six, 3) you're correct about *both* player and alignment in any three cases, or 4) you have survived your own game thread when it fully resolves, you will be declared a winner. If you win the game before it is over, you will be removed from the game. You will never be the sole winner of the game.

You are aligned only with yourself.

You’re a severed employee working at Lumon Industries (town).

You begin the game knowing that [redacted] is also aligned with the town. You may share a separate behind-the-scenes chat space in the Discord Hub provided by the host.

Voting and Claiming Rules

1.) Claim whatever you want if anything.
2.) Votes in the poll are official, and I will only consider the poll votes when I resolve a day phase. It is still obligatory to call votes in the game thread, as the poll does not track voting order. Call your votes to make it possible to discern timing and order. This is not optional. Please call votes with the [ vote ][ /vote ] tags (no spaces).
3.) Votes are changeable with no limitations.
4.) Voting is not obligatory. There is no requirement to vote in any phase whatsoever. There are participation standards though, which I'll cover separately.
5.) The player who has received the most votes at the deadline shall be eliminated. There is no majority hammer.
6.) In the event of a tied vote, the eliminated player shall be decided among the tied names at random.
7.) A "no elimination" option will be included each day phase. This option must lead the tally with no ties to be enacted at any time.
8.) YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS NOT IN THE INTENDED SPIRIT OF MY GAME, AND IT RELATES TO RULES AGAINST EXCESSIVE APPEAL TO EMOTION.

Participation Standard

There is no rigid standard for participation; this will be at the host's discretion. All players are expected to make a sincere effort to contribute to the game thread consistently enough that their content can be fairly judged. Non-participation has an adverse effect upon the balance of the game. If I decide a player is not participating enough to facilitate this balance, that player will be replaced. If a replacement cannot be found, there might be a modkill. With this in mind I reiterate: it's very important that everyone try to participate. At least a few posts per day/night cycle are a bare minimum.

Other

1.) Respect all guidelines and rules found in The Syndicate's announcements section. Above all else, treat your fellow players with respect -- this is just a game.
2.) BTSC (behind the scenes chatter) is only permitted in host-designated locations.
3.) No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
4.) Just don't make posts when you're dead unless you have been given express permission by the host.
5.) Non-players may not post in the game thread.
6.) Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic may choose to do so in {Off-Topic} Green. There's an "OT" button for this in the post editor. This is not required.
7.) If you ever have any questions about the rules, roles, or setup, please ask me privately.
