1.
VOTING:
For votes to count, they need to be bolded and in similar format to this -->
Vote: Player Name
. If you want to cancel your vote, it must also be bolded -->
Unvote
. You MUST unvote before voting for someone else.
2.
Talk, vote, FOS, HOS, MFOS, etc. There will be a universal deadline of 2 weeks for every
day
phase. If no one reaches the needed votes for a lynch by the time of deadline, there will be no lynch at all that phase.
3.
NIGHT PHASE:
Thread shall be locked tight until the next day begins. This phase will last a maximum of 72 hours. Those of you with night actions can send them to my PM box as early as you want. You can also make a list of players to use an action on, in order, just in case your top choice(s) don't make it to nightfall.
4.
PARTICIPATION:
Please inform me of any online access issues that may effect your appearance in the game. If you lurk and miss most or all of a day phase, you will be punished (rule #10). I may feel that your attention is needed in the thread and will prod you, even if you already posted that same day. Dead players are allowed to make one fluff/bah posts. I will replace after more than one failure to appear, such as not reacting to prods. If you are not involved in this game, please do not post in any related threads to the game.
5.
ROLES/CLAIMS:
All forms of claiming are allowed, but you are
not allowed to quote your role PM nor post any links
. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you have a question about your role, I prefer you PM me about it so I don't reveal much to influence the others' gameplay. I will allow you to ask me a question in thread, but I may feel the need to answer via PM rather than publicly. If I PM you any such information,
do not
directly quote or paraphrase my message. It was PM'd for a reason.
6.
EDITING:
Do not edit your post for any reason. If you feel the need to add or make a correction, just make a second post.

MOD EDITING:
I prefer votecounts on each page. Since I may not be online at the time every new page is being made, I will insert votecounts at the top of each page (every 25 posts) to help display the votes at specific times. My color will be
blue
and I will use the ooc tag. You ARE allowed to use colors but please do not imitate me or mislead others into believing I said something when I did not... Except for scum cuz they need to fakeclaim.
7.
FLAVOR:
I have a sweet tooth. The references I use (characters, locations, items)
may or may not
have relevance or relation to the roles you all have received. In the interest of a flavorful story, I will use any reference I see fitting at the time but it does not (always) indicate anything about the players. I will be writing with characters not even used for roles in this current game, as well as characters you (the players) mention. Characters
may appear in future games
as legit roles, but, in the meantime, I will create scenes for mere enjoyment rather than depending on the relation to your individual roles.
8.
RELEVANCE:
Stay on the topic of the game. No bickering or personal attacks. Joking around is cool, but let's keep it civil. E-beef can ruin a game in an instant, so help keep the spirit up. You
are allowed
to speak about other games as long as either 1) The game is over, or 2) The game is ongoing but the Mod has given you permission to speak about that particular game.
9.
OUTSIDE DISCUSSION:
Unless your role permits it, please do not strategize or speak of information pertinent to this game anywhere else but this thread. This means no AIM, no YAHOO, no MSN, no SKYPE, no PMs, no E-MAILS, no PHONE CALLS, no TEXTS, no SMOKE SIGNALS, no SIGN LANGUAGE, no TELEPATHY. If you talk about the game elsewhere, you will be modkilled.
10.
OFFENSES:
Violators, beware. I can tolerate honest mistakes. Howeve; 1st time petty offenders get a warning; 2nd time petty offenders will be made voteless, and can continue playing. 3rd time petty offenders will be penalized in some fashion, and I don't mean Gucci or Prada. Serious offenders, violators, terrorists and rapists alike will be modkilled. Being modkilled means this game is an auto-loss for you, even if your faction won. Better yet, it's a double loss. (I need to write a fresh paragraph for the next game. I'm tired of recycling this.)
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe.
