Respects to Roxy and fingersplints for the first game themed this way on The Syndicate. Their game was great fun and the inspiration for this sequel of sorts. We have a lot of newer faces around here since that game was played and another bout of self-referential roleplay nonsense should be a hilarious experience.
Role matrix:
All roles not featured in the matrix are vanilla roles for each alignment. Note that the "1-shot ninja" does not refer to a role with an extra kill as that term has sometimes been defined on The Syndicate in the past. This role evades detection by trackers. If you have questions about what the other roles in the matrix are, just ask.
Living players:
Dom --
S~V~S, vanilla mafioso
Epignosis --
G-Man, 1-shot doublevoter
Glorfindel --
speedchuck, 2-shot doctor
Marmot --
Golden, vanilla civilian
Dead players:
JaggedJimmyJay -- Lynched on Day 1,
Sloonei, vanilla civilian
dunya -- Killed on Night 1,
MacDougall, vanilla civilian
DrWilgy -- Lynched on Day 2,
Long Con, vanilla civilian
MacDougall - Killed on Night 2,
Epignosis, vanilla civilian
Golden -- Lynched on Day 3,
Dom, vanilla civilian
Vompatti -- Killed on Night 2,
DrWilgy, vanilla civilian
NOTE: speedchuck is participating in this game. This is made public now because it needed to be known for us to determine facilitators. It is known in the moderator forum and now it is also known here. This is not revealed for any game-relevant purpose other than to ensure fairness.
Rules and guidelines (please review):
Voting Rules
1.) Votes are changeable with no limitations.
2.) Voting is not obligatory. There is no requirement to vote in any phase whatsoever. There are participation standards though, which I'll cover separately.
3.) The player who has received the most votes at the deadline shall be lynched.
4.) In the event of a tied vote, the lynched player shall be decided among the tied names at random.
5.) A "no lynch" option will be included each day phase. This option must lead the tally with no ties to be enacted at any time.
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 will not be a modkill. A game this small cannot handle modkills without balance being destroyed -- worse than even total quiet. 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.
Information rules:
1.) Roleclaiming is legal in all forms.
2.) Publicly revealing information gleaned from a role is legal in all forms.
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.)
Dead players should post in the {Dead} Red if they are posting in the game thread. If you do post as a dead player, I insist that you ensure what you say cannot possibly affect the game in any way -- even the most innocuous off-topic things have that potential so please be careful.
5.)
Non-Players should similarly post in {Non-Player} Blue if they are posting in the game thread.
6.)
Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic should do so in {Off-Topic} Green.
7.)
This is the Host Color. I don't actually care if you use it, just don't impersonate me. Unless you're impersonating me. Since one of you is. Maybe you should avoid my color. 
8.) If you ever have any questions about the rules, roles, or setup, please ask me in private. You may ask publicly, but I will only answer publicly if I deem it appropriate.

If you are feeling frustrated or otherwise bugged and want to talk about it, Spacedaisy and dunya are both here to talk it over with you. dunya is learning the facilitator process, but both of them are fully prepared to listen, advise, or just shoot the shit if you have the desire.
Sample Vanilla Civilian Role Card:
You are a vanilla civilian. You have no special abilities. Win the game by eliminating all threats to your faction.
