Quoting private communication in whole or in part is strictly forbidden. Things like "name the first letter of your role" are covered under this rule.

Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.

[Link] Rules and Guidelines on The Syndicate

Also always be mindful of the culture of respect that must be maintained in all Syndicate spaces at all times, to include this game thread and any external communication spaces relating to the game. Players must be respectful to one another, to the game host, to the members of the staff overseeing the game, to the game itself by way of its rules and spirit, to the Syndicate community in general, and ideally also to themselves. Respect is never optional. See our full manifesto on our culture of respect below.

[Link] A Syndicate Mafia Culture of Respect

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 Mordor. I will explain how this happens later. The Agents of Sauron do not win at parity, unless it would be impossible for them to not achieve their win condition.
3. There are 19 Rings in play. The Free Peoples have received one each. The Agents of Sauron have received the other six.
4. Each player has 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 a factional passive investigative ability, so it can be avoided with action-immunity. The second point will make you unable to willingly part with that Ring until the start of the following night. The third point will turn you into a Ringwraith. 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. If you become a Ringwraith, you are removed from the game and your Rings are returned to Mordor. Becoming a Ringwraith is a fate worse than death - but it is not death, and will not trigger abilities that reference being killed or eliminated.
8. Being blocked or having your action otherwise prevented does not prevent Ring-corruption from accumulating.
9. 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 after kills, 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.
10. In addition to being able to send their Rings to other players, the Agents of Sauron may alternatively send Rings directly to Mordor. This effectively removes the Rings from the game, and brings them closer to their win condition.
11. If you kill a player, you take their Rings. If two or more players kill each other, their Rings will all be sent to Mordor.
12. You may vote for a player in-thread using the vote tags. Voting for yourself in this way will be counted as an unvote. In-thread votes have no affect on the official vote count (which remains in the poll).
13. When a player is eliminated, their Rings are taken by the player who voted for them in-thread earliest in the day, and did not vote for anyone else thereafter. The official vote count is irrelevant in determining the recipient of the eliminated player's Rings.
14. All abilities referring to votes are referring to the votes in the poll, not in-thread votes.

1. Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.
2. Voting in the poll is the only vote that matters for the purposes of elimination.
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. There may be abilities that increase or reduce the number of votes a player has. These will not be revealed publicly, although they do factor into the calculation of what constitutes a majority.
5. Post cap is 70 per day. Exceeding this post cap may result in a modkill.
6. Quoting private communication in whole or in part is strictly forbidden. Things like "name the first letter of your role" are covered under this rule.
