Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.

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

Game rules and guidelines (note especially voting rules #2 and #5, but all rules apply)

Spoiler: show

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

Exercise Rules

The theme of this game is obviously "working out". This is intended mostly as a joke, so you don't have to take that too seriously. However, elements of this game will require performing some kinds of exercises. That's the whole point. Obviously I have no way of policing this whatsoever. All I can ask is that you tell me you've done the exercise. I will believe you.

If you lie to my face, I cannot stop you. But you'd be extremely lame. Come on, dude.

If you do not believe you are able to complete the assigned exercise for any reason, please let me know. You don't have to tell me why. Respect your own privacy. But if there's a need I can provide guidance about accomplishing whatever task or find alternative ways for you to meet the exercise requirement. It's not that serious, so please don't endanger or hurt yourselves. Drink water. Play Mafia.

Day 0 is underway and will last just under 24 hours until 6:00 PM PST tomorrow (Thursday). There are no votes nor night actions during Day 0. This is just meant as an introductory period to allow players to become aware of the game.

You may post as many times as you like during Day 0, and the post minimum (5) is not in effect until Day 1. However, for every Day 0 post you make, you must do one push-up. Remember to adopt proper push-up form by positioning your back and legs in a straight line and dropping yourself enough that your arms breach a 90-degree angle (they should be less than 90 degrees when you stop to push back up).

Start sweating. And keep hydrated.

Ok, I just did three pushups, so I'm good for a couple of posts. Do we have to do the pushups before we post, or just check and balance as we go? Sometimes incurring pushup debt that must be paid off by day's end?

Good Morning Happy Mafia Players!

I will be your Game Mod for this game.

Games are supposed to be fun, and I hope it is so for you. If you find it is stressful instead, or something is happening that you think is inappropriate or in violation of a site rule, don't tell the thread, tell me. Unless it's a game question or rule; then ask Jay.

The site rules linked here (already quoted by Jay, but yay redundancy!) :

*Click Here* Rules and Guidelines on The Syndicate

*Click Here*A Syndicate Mafia Culture of Respect

As said, we want everyone to have fun, and I will do my best to resolve any issues you may have. I can be reached here on site via PM, or on Discord as SVS2147 .

If it's urgent, I'd see a Discord message faster during the workday.

Good Luck and Happy Leg Day!

Y’all can do Day 0 push-ups along the way or all at the end.

They call me the Merc with a Mouth, not Truthful Timmy the Blowjob Queen of Saskatoon!

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 11:20 am**

I’ve been working out to prep for this moment.

I’m assuming the 50 diamond pushups I did on Tuesday don’t count in retro

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 11:26 am**

In a perverse way I kinda needed this to be my accountability to get my lazy ass to the gym, so thanks.

My therapist canceled because they were feeling sick, so how else am I going to hold myself to a higher standard

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 11:28 am**

I’ve got a challenge for everyone else:

At the beginning of Day 1, I will agree to NOT vote for the player that did the most pushups during Day 0. I’m a nice guy.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 1:59 pm**

So how's everyone's day going?

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 2:06 pm**

Are mod and host doing pushups as well?

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 2:19 pm**

I tore my meniscus in June and won't be doing any running, jogging, or fuckin' walking

I'll ride my bike tho

It was a normal summer day, with a normal Thursday Pilates class

How is your day?

I like how Epi, Sloonei and Scotty posted. Not AI, but doing the push ups gives them a plus

I only did 5 push ups and I will probably go to sleep, so my day 0 will have a maximum of 5 posts

In any case, you’re currently in the lead with a purported 5 pushups

I pushed my fingers up and down on the keyboard when I made that post. I'm doing it again now! and that's about all y'all are getting from me.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 6:03 pm**

I just did seven more, so I am good for up to ten total posts and I'm also in the lead for Scotty! Woo!

Wait, did you say there was mile running??

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 7:49 pm**

I did 30 pushups to warm myself up for a 5 mile run. I am sorry.

Those weren't game-related pushups, doesn't count.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 7:58 pm**

But what if I only ran 5 miles as training so that I can win the inevitable cardio day in this game?

The real question is, "will my wife judge me for barely working out since the kids showed up only to be motivated to get back on it by a mafia game?"

And now I owe 2.

I need to move the day forward a little bit early due to unforeseen circumstances.

Day 0 has ended. Chest Day is underway and will last for 48 hours (until 6:00 PM PST on Saturday). You may begin placing elimination votes (please do so in both the poll and the game thread). You no longer have to do a push-up for every post you make, but I may show up later in the day with some instructions.

I'm unable to set a proper poll deadline right now, so I will use an indefinite poll and screenshot it at the deadline (votes accepted at XX:00 but not at XX:01).

Spoiler: show

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 8:50 pm**

I did three pushups that a drill sargeant would spit in my face over.

AND YOU'D DESERVE EVERY SINGLE SUCCULENT DROP, MAGGOT!

This post bugged me the most.

How would you contrast our posts to those of the others?

How does saying we're doing pushups improve us?

And at that point, I never did any or said I did any.

I think she wants to scream because she’s bad

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2024 10:25 pm**

I’m quite sick and also am in the process of moving as we speak, so my attention is a bit avoidant

But I think Epi can be my gym buddy for his immediate push of Michelle. Not ready to commit to slamming the kettle bell on Mich yet tho.

I just realized I didn’t answer the question- flu like symptoms- not covid. But can’t breathe and pounding headache

How many pushups are you committing to today?
