General Rules
(basically stolen from Nobody Special)
1) This is a game. HAVE FUN.
2) I, as Your Moderator, have final say in everything. If I make a mistake, please send me a PM to discuss it. Votecount errors can be pointed out in the thread.
3) Anything in the thread that should draw my attention should be bolded, thus: @Mod, blah blah blah.
4) You may not talk about this game outside of this thread; exceptions are only when your Role PM allows it.
5)
is my color. Do not use it, under penalty of Impersonating The Mod (which is modkillable; don't make me do it).
6) Posting in other colors is allowed, and in fact encouraged. I like colorful games.
7) Do not quote your Role PM or any other PM from Me. Likewise, do not quote from any outside communication.
8) Do not post in invisible text or tiny text. If I have to "Quote" your post to be able to read what you made small, I will Not Be Happy.
9) If you somehow have the ability to edit your post, do not. I will modkill you. Dead. Worse than Dead. Your faction will suffer. I am Evil when crossed. Be warned.
10) Flavor is flavor. Parts is parts. Nothing in the flavor reflects Actual Game Mechanics.
Player Activity
11) I do not (always) automagically prod players. If you would like a prod sent, ask in-thread. Prods will be sent after
48 HOURS
of inactivity.
12) If you are prodded: You must respond in-thread within 48 hours or you will be replaced. Three or more prods and I may or may not replace you without warning.
13)
USE VOTE TAGS
. JUST DO IT. THEY LOOK SO MUCH COOLER AND I ACTUALLY CAN'T HANDLE IT WHEN PEOPLE JUST BOLD VOTES. ALSO
DON'T USE NICKNAMES FOR VOTES
, THAT'S JUST ANNOYING.
14)
PLEASE WRITE OUT UNVOTES
, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE JUST SWITCHING VOTES. MAKE SURE YOU USE A COLON
AND THE PERSON YOU'RE UNVOTING
. That makes it a lot easier for everyone else to follow the votes, including me.
Deadlines and actions
15) Days will have a two week deadline; extensions will rarely be granted, and then only in extenuating circumstances.
16) If activity severely lags, I may or may not institute a shorter Day deadline. You will have at least 72 hours notice should this happen.
17) There are no nights in this game.
Death and stuff
*18) You MAY NOT vote for a no-lynch in this game.
*19) If the required number of votes is not reached by deadline,
the player with the most votes will be lynched. Ties will be broken based on who had more votes immediately to the past. If this is confusing, here's an example: A and B are tied at 3 votes at deadline. If C recently unvoted B, then B gets lynched because it was previously 4B votes to 3A votes. If C recently voted B, then A gets lynched because previously it was 3A votes to 2B votes. If you have questions ask me.
20) Lynching requires a true majority of votes from the living players. Every votecount will have the number alive and the number required to lynch.
21) Once a lynch has been reached and it is Twilight, everyone may talk until I post the death scene. I will not be locking the thread this game for long periods of time, since there is no night.
22) If you are killed, you are allowed one "Bah!"-type post. No game-relevant content allowed.
Miscellaneous
23) I reserve the right to modify these rules if necessary. Any rule changes during the course of the game will be clearly announced in the thread.
24) Do not tempt The Mod. Do not annoy The Mod. Do not get The Mod wet, nor feed The Mod after midnight.
25) Do not admit to not having read The Rules. I get very, very upset about this. The rules are here for a reason. Read them, follow them, know them.
26) I don't care if you swear. I do it all the time. Just don't be directly offensive towards others please. No "fuck you's" will be tolerated; that may or may not be a modkill.
27) Remember to have fun. After all, that's why we're here, isn't it?
