The basics. If you're following these five things, you're golden. If you do not follow these five 'pillars,' then you may be subject to in-game consequences like forced-replacement or modkilling, or site-wide consequences like bans.
This is a game.
Have fun! But do so in the spirit of the game - respect others' freedom to have fun!
Common sense reigns supreme.
Anything not covered explicitly in the rules should be able to be filled by your own common sense. If anything isn't clear or you find a loophole somehow or if you have any questions whatsoever, don't hesitate to PM me!
Don't be intentionally annoying.
Similarly to the above pillars,
share
your fun with others, rather than having fun
at the expense
of others. If you're especially peeved, consider taking a step away from the computer for a bit or PM me if you have a serious issue with someone or something.
This site is privately owned, so if you don't follow their rules, you should expect a swift and appropriate consequence, though if you're following the above pillars, you should be fine anyway.
Familiarize yourself with my game rules.
There may be new or different stuff than what you're used to, especially if the game is non-standard.
General Game Rules
Please note that these are
generally applicable
. Any of these rules may be overridden by the Game-Specific Rules.
I suck. I make mistakes/poor decisions, etc. Please correct me if you feel I am wrong! If you have anything that you want me to see in the thread, be sure to put a bolded
@Prof
or
@Fridays
or
@mod
or
@Walrus
- basically, this helps me see your comment and that it's directed at me. Other ways of getting my attention are fine, just don't be obtrusive or annoying, and do so at the risk of my not seeing it.
Games have Day and Night phases with a Day start unless otherwise stated in the Game-Specific Rules.
An in-game Day will last
8 days
. An in-game Night lasts
48 hours
. If a majority is not reached before the deadline, it is a No Lynch. Deadline extensions may occur when deemed appropriate.
A majority of votes is required for a lynch (or "No Lynch").
If you do not vote in either way, it is up to me to determine whether or not I count the vote, so "fake-vote" at your own risk.
Prod system: Players who have not posted for 48 hours will be prodded; players who do not post within 36 hours of a prod will be replaced. If you were to be prodded twice over a game Day or thrice over the whole game, you may be replaced at my discretion. If you have declared V/LA, you may be exempted from prods during that time at my discretion.
In the event replacements are necessary, the deadline may be extended at my discretion.
Do not post in the game thread after being 'killed.' There will be a dead thread. Be sad there.
I reserve the right to force-replace, modkill, or take any action on any player at any point without warning. I also reserve the right to change anything in the rules at any point without warning.
Game-Specific Rules
These are special rules that apply to this particular game.
This is a Normal Game, and thus has no special rules.
Any flavor used by the moderator is not intended to divulge any information about the game state.

Day 1 Begins!
With 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

Getting a little defensive there, eh? I didn't say it was scummy. But EPM said your non-buddy and temp were a team. I just wanted to know which vote he thought was scummier.
In post 20, dragonspawn wrote:You have an odd definition of defensive. But if it makes you happy go for it.
I wouldn't say it makes me happy; we are just talking. I'm just saying you were pretty quick to say that you two aren't buddies, and then defend him from the accusation that his random vote may be scummy.
The premise of his vote being scummy was that we are buddies. We aren't buddies. Bad logic is bad logic.
he could be scum. He might be the towniest town you ever did see. I have no way of knowing. But I dislike the use of bad logic to make conclusions. It helps no one by scum
