This feels rude, do you mind being a bit calm.

So, like, you could use a ring twice and then give it to another player? And if they use it, they turn into a ringwraith?

Does mafia know what each ring does? Is this something that can be gleaned from knowing the lore?

1. There are four Agents of Sauron and thirteen Free Peoples. These are the mafia and town respectively.
2. The win condition for the Agents of Sauron is to return all of the Rings to Sauron. I will explain how this happens later. The Agents of Sauron were given a list of the names of the Rings in play, but they do not know who received them or what they do.
3. Each player has started the game with at least one Ring. All 19 Rings are in play, so some players have received multiple.
4. Each player has at least one passive ability. No player has an intrinsic active ability - that’s what the Rings are for.
5. Each Ring can be used to perform a night action. The number of night actions you can perform is equal to half of the number of Rings you possess, rounded up. There is no limit to the number of Rings a player can possess at once.
6. Using a Ring will afflict you with Ring-corruption. The first point will reveal to the Agents of Sauron that you have used that specific Ring; mechanically, this counts as Sauron’s passive investigative ability, so it can be avoided with action-immunity. The second point will disable your passive ability for that night and the following day, and you won't be able to give that Ring away until the following night. The third point will turn you into a Ringwraith, removing you from the game and returning all of your Rings to Sauron. Each level of Ring-corruption also triggers all the levels below it. The Ring-corruption is specific to each Ring, so you can theoretically use every Ring twice without turning into a Ringwraith.
7. Being blocked or having your action otherwise prevented does not prevent Ring-corruption from accumulating.
8. Each night, you may elect to send any number of your Rings to any number of other players. This does not count as an action, so it cannot be blocked or manipulated by normal means. This resolves at dawn, so if your target ends up dying, you’ll simply keep the Ring. You may use a Ring’s action and send it away in the same night.
9. In addition to being able to send their Rings to other players, the Agents of Sauron may alternatively send Rings to Sauron himself. This effectively removes the Rings from the game.
10. If you kill a player or place the last vote on an eliminated player, you take their Rings. If two players kill each other, they will immediately have to send one another’s Rings to the player(s) of their choice.

1. Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.
2. Voting in-thread is not required. The poll is the official way of voting.
3. The player with at least 51% of the votes at deadline is eliminated. If no player meets this threshold, no player is eliminated.
4. Post cap is 70 per day.
