Why ReplyRoyale never posts for you

Connecting X gives ReplyRoyale read access only. Not as a policy we promise to keep — as the shape of the permission you hand over. It cannot post, reply, like, follow, repost or send a direct message, and no feature here could start doing so without asking you for a different grant entirely.

That is the whole reason the game works. A scheduler can fill your calendar; it cannot make the post yours. If the game could play your cards for you, scoring them would be scoring itself.

You never claim a card. There is no form, no link to paste, no screenshot to upload, and no button anywhere that marks a card as done. You go and do the thing on X, in your own voice, from your own account, and the sweep finds it.

Two things fall out of that. You cannot lie to it, because nothing you type is evidence — only what is on your timeline is. And there is no admin: the part of a habit app where you report back to it does not exist here.

The rule has teeth, and the deck wears the mark. The only Finisher ever written was Close the Loop, which asked you to finish a conversation in a direct message. A direct message is private, so nothing readable could ever confirm it — the card was cut, and the launch deck ships with no Finisher at all rather than with one that scores on trust.

Same test for every other card: if the condition cannot be seen from a public timeline, it is not printed. What that does and does not include is in what a sweep actually reads.

Since you are the one playing every card, the game does not punish you for not playing one. Failing or skipping a card withholds its clout and does nothing else — the card is not even spent. The rules are the short version of all of this.

• A card you do not play costs you nothing
• What a sweep actually reads
• How to play — the loop, the card, and the two clocks, in one page.
