§yndicate Dragons Code of Ethics

 To maintain a good cabal, Dragons must observe these rules. 



1) Friendship – Friendship, simply defined, means saying 
hello when you see fellow Dragons in gate of course, but most 
importantly it means kindness to fellow Dragons. It also means 
having a friendly attitude towards the game and its players 
regardless of the other player’s cabal affiliation.  This game 
is a lot more fun when everyone enjoys playing the game in a 
sportsmanlike manner and meeting their friends in Hero’s Gate.  
You can see good examples of true friendship if you examine the 
trading process. Newbies especially have a hard time with trading. 
It is the duty of a Dragon to make sure they don’t rip off anyone 
in a trade. It is also an act of friendship when trading with 
newbies to assist them in the trading process by referring them 
to a reputable and widely accepted trading point values page.  A 
good way to do this is to check a trading points page and refer 
the player you’re trading with to the same page. Then they can 
see that the trade is fair. 

2) Trust – Trust is a quality an individual can not bestow upon 
himself. It is a virtue a player earns by being true to their word.  
Trust in this cabal means that when a Dragon says he is going donate 
certain cards as prizes for an event, then he MUST uphold that 
promise, as well as any other promise that he or she makes. Trust 
also means making only truthful statements when truth would be 
implied, specifically in the new member’s form. If you state that 
you’re between 16 and 20 years old, then it is trusted that you 
are in fact between 16 and 20 years old. 

3) Honor - Honor can mean several things, but the most important part 
of honor, in this cabal, is sportsmanship. A good example of this is 
illustrated by not offering cards to try to bribe the other players 
to do something that alters the outcome of the game. Do not beg for 
a draw, no matter what the situation. Ask politely for a draw, and if
 the other players says no, then leave it alone and either concede or 
beat their butt. 

4) Loyalty - Its a common rule in Sanctum that one person is in one 
cabal at a time. Not all cabals have this rule; but it is a good rule 
of thumb. The main reason for this §yndicate rule is we believe it is 
pointless for a player to join any individual cabal if that player 
believes that they can join ALL cabals at the same time. Another point 
of loyalty deals with Sanctum players joining The §yndicate Guild and 
leaving.  Some of the best people in Sanctum are also PROUD members 
of the §yndicate. If you keep leaving and wanting to return, you show 
that you are NOT proud of the cabal and therefore are not entitled to 
the benefits of being a Dragon. Free cards, good people to hang around 
with, and a good place to learn the game are not given out to just 
anyone. They are earned. These §yndicate guild benefits are our main 
reason for having the "Join us by invite only" rule. 

We expect ALL Dragons to abide by the UA at ALL times. Additionally, 
as an honorable guild we insist upon no major cussing. Blurting out 
damn once in a blue moon is not a big deal, but certainly refrain 
from cussing on a daily basis; and under no circumstances should 
anyone hear Dragons say the F word. Your know what that word is 
so don’t send us an e-mail 
asking. 

These are the ideals of our cabal, The §yndicate Guild.

These Codes may change at any time. We will notify all Dragons if 
and when the changes happen.
