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.
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.
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 on Day 1, but there will be on following days. During any final elimination phase, votes will be locked.
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.
Participation Standard
You must make a MINIMUM of 7 posts per day phase. If this standard is not being met, I will pursue prompt replacements. This is a very small game, so I will not give much slack here. There isn't time to wait for folks.
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.
Angleshooting, loopholes, and excessive appeal to emotion
Don't.
We all know what the spirit of Mafia is about. So don't. If you ever think something might be cutting it close, just ask me before doing it/saying it. Thanks gang.
Examples of things that suck:
- Referencing out-of-game personal information to progress yourself in the game (regardless of alignment)
- Trying to use specific wording in your role card to glean information in the thread
- Openly calling for or talking about the mafia team conceding
- Discussing anything outside the game thread that should have no bearing on it (e.g., technical quirks you observe on Discord) other than ordinary metagaming
- Referencing emotional concepts that have no bearing on the Mafia game in any way that put others in an unfair position of either judgment or deception
- Plenty of other things; there are too many to list
Sample vanilla town role card:
You're [character]. Town.

You have no special abilities.
The game begins at 9:00 PM PST on Tuesday the 17th of June. You may access the game thread here (click).

Big news! We here among management at The Syndicate have decided that it is time to build stronger ties in the commercial world. We have joined with Conglom-O who will be helping us to expand our brand further into the Mafia landscape all over O-Town. Even better: as our first personally selected focus group, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see our new vision in motion. So, by all means, take it away. Play Mafia! What's the worst that could happen? Nobody has died yet!
Have fun on Day 1, and remember: we own you.
Day 1 will last 48 hours. Remember to vote in the poll AND call your votes clearly in the thread. You may begin posting.

How does the voting through poll work?
Cannoticale wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 12:56 am
Not a lot of people are going to make this post minimum of 7, I think.
Hey there, Cannoticale. First game here? I think the voting through poll works by selecting a choice, but I am not sure how to vote through the post. I do hope most can meet the 7 post floor. I'd be more fun if that's the case.

I'm not really worried about myself, although I'd love to hear more from others.
A dozen posts since I last was here hope I can keep up lol I think I am the only one that loves low posting games.
Cannoticale vibe about Jess feels like a motherly thing - yah know like you may not have a popsicle bc dinner is 3 hours away type thing. To each their own as I say.
falcon is falconing nicely so far. Did you like October London? I am genuinely curious.

we love to hear it!
nice to see you again sloonei
Likewise. What adventures have you had since we last played together?
since we've last played i actually have moved to a new city, got a new job, and also became the ruler of the country
so, a lot of big changes
i feel like you are mafia this game. thoughts?
I thought I read about that in the news.
I have no thoughts on this matter.
do you have any thoughts about the game yet in general then?
It is quite slow. Falcon and you have been the only players to really make ripples. I have run into trouble reading Falcon early in games semi-recently. I would expect nothing less than his call-out of our pleasantries, at least.
I do have a thought that I'm about to share in a separate post though. Get ready.

you are so hard to trust
