~~~Krazy's Animals Upick~~~
Seventeen players square off in a game with flavor picks from any creature within the animal kingdom!
Confirmed single ball 13:4 town:scum
10 day day 1, 8 day dayphases after that, 2 day nights
All hydras must sign consistently or make it clear which head is posting and have a single handle associated with their hydra name. While stealth hydras are OK, the handle of which head is posting should still be consistent.
Alyssa the Lamb and Red Panda will be co-moddding and assisting with design.
This will be role madness with no vanilla town or mafia goon roles.
Alignment will be fully randomized.
This is not a bastard game. There will be no mid-game alignment changes. There will be no beloved princess or governor. There will be no mafia traitor. There may be some "large theme swing" mechanics including additional scum killing power under certain conditions.
The scum faction will have daytalk, discord servers if desired, and factional multitasking.
Living players: April Ludgate, Clover Ebi, HoldenGolden, Miss Lynch
Flips!
Spoiler:
Day 1: Dr Easy Bake is lynched, and is a town reptile bodyguard lover.
Creature commits suicide, and is a town reptile bodyguard lover -- viewtopic.php?p=11807840#p11807840
Night 4:
The Birds and the Boys is drowned and is revealed to be a Town Parity Cop Confused Amphibious Human Miller -- viewtopic.php?p=11859525#p11859525
reminder note: replacement list coding should look like -- NicoRobin:jjh927,Taly:Creature
Deadlist should look like: Titus-2,CheekyTeeky-3,Furret und Woopers-5,Shiro-6,Pink Ball-7,Auro-8

Scum Stuff
Scum day talk?
Scum have factional daychat and can have a discord server on request
.
Scum safe claims/safe flavor claims? There are mod-provided sample fakeclaims for at least some of the scum but whether they are "safeclaims" is open to debate. I encourage scum to hand-craft their own fakeclaims using the mod-provided fakeclaims as a starting point. The mod-provided fake-claims should prevent the game from being broken by a day-1 massclaim, beyond that I do not make strong promises on the utility of the mod-provided fakeclaims.
Multitasking? The mafia team is factionally multitasking; they can perform a night action and a kill in the same night.
Multiball? No.
Setup Stuff
Does flavor have an effect? Probably.
Unique Mechanic? Could be, but not guaranteed.
Bastard level? This game will have significant swing, roles that you are unlikely to anticipate, and probably some number of red herrings. I do not believe there are any direct moderator lies, mid-game alignment changes, and I will exclude *the specific versions* of some roles listed below.
Post restrictions: I do not design post restrictions to encourage or reward spamming and spamming is not allowed in this thread.
Excluded Roles: There will be no governor or beloved princess. There will be no mechanics whereby the lynch of the day can suddenly change, no skipping of night phases, and no skipping of dayphases. There will also be no cults and no mid-game alignment changes. Your wincon will not change. There will be no third parties.
Day actions: Day actions including daykills would not cause the dayphase to end.
Maximum players leaving the game in a single night: I believe the theoretical maximum number of players who could leave the game in a single day/night is 7 (including lynch). This honestly could be off, I didn't double check it.
Approximate level of swing: I think this game has slightly more swing than Krazy's Anime Upick.
Passive abilities note: Most passive abilities are not subject to roleblocks unless otherwise stated.
Flavor:
At daybreak, I may include flavor text (depending on my availability and schedule). Everyone has flavor. This is a theme game. You are not explicitly prohibited from speculating about flavor text, although, to be clear, a lot of the narrative-style information in my flavor reveals will not be based on night action content. Alignment is randomized and not based on flavor.
Flips:
Flips may include kill flavor. While this may suggest the role behind the kill, some killing roles may be able to obscure or change their flavor.
Flips will include the role PM with any "Informed" status content redacted and all PT links removed.
The janitor role is not prohibited from this game, likewise certain roles may or may not have janitor-like effects for sections of rolecards.
Hydras and Discord:
I will set up hydra PTs on discord at request.
VCs:
I have used Mathblade's vote counter before and liked it a lot, but using name variations that are not misspellings may cause me delays in updating the vote count. I may for any reason stop using the Mathblade vote counter and switch to conventional vote counting by hand.
I will use the offline version of Mathblade's Vote Counter.

The Boilerplate Rules
General
1. This game uses sitewide rules: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6470
1a. Do not private message other users about anything having to do with this game in any circumstance even/especially if you are dead/have replaced out/are spectating/etc. If you even think it might be a grey area, it is not a grey area, it is not ok. This includes informal conversations on discord. Do not refer indirectly to game events in this game until the game is complete, including in signatures, signup threads, or anywhere else. Do not refer to statements made in this game in this game in other games.
2. No reference, whatsoever, should be made about other ongoing games. Ever. Not directly, not indirectly, not at all. -- viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30908
Respect
1. Be nicer to other people than they are to you. Attack the play not the player.
1a.
Replace outs will only be accepted by Private Message, not in game. If you are replacing out, do not discuss this in thread until it is confirmed with the moderator. Players cannot cancel replacement requests, even if a replacement has not been found. PMing the moderator that you wish or need to replace out will be taken as final. Once you have made that PM, please do not continue to post in the game thread.
Assume good faith for replace-outs. If you replace out, please do not comment directly or indirectly about the game in other sections of the site including the queue and/or your signature. This falls into the broad umbrella of "outside influence."
1b. Please do not ask other players to replace out, discourage them from playing the game, or otherwise create a hostile gaming environment. This is now also a sitewide rule.
2.
Play to win.
2a.
You must read your role pm, and confirm that you understand your role.
2b.
Do not state, whether honest or false, that you have not read your role pm
in-thread. If I somehow forget to send you a role pm or send you multiple role pms, please contact me
by pm
.
2c. You can claim scum, and you can claim scum with someone else provided that the moderator can reasonably suspect non-malicious motives behind such.
2d. Scum can night kill their teammates, but I must see evidence that such a move is not game-throwing.
2e. Do not say or imply that you have not been reading the thread. If you need time to catch up, you can say this.
3.
Avoid using the plain spoiler (blackout tag). Use spoiler= instead!
This is wrong.
4.
Videos and animated Gifs can be posted in the main thread, but please try to keep it within reason. Do not try to break the site or make the thread unreadable to mobile users.
5. Cryptography and other forms of codes are generally not allowed. Breadcrumbs are generally okay.
6.
Constant off-topic posting will not be tolerated.
7.
Provable randomness is strongly discouraged.
In particular, do not use the dice tag.
8. Hydras -- Hydras must sign posts according to their requested handle, decided day 1 or pre-game. You are welcome to post an ego post on your main. Hydra slips will not result in warnings, although you should not treat your main as your head of the hydra. Personally, I think there is no need to quote hydra slips on the hydra account, although I won't stop you from doing this either.
9. Please try to make the game at least relatively mobile friendly. On that note, please try not to quote large chunks of embedded quote chains for short replies--if you are really just referring to the last thing someone said, just say @playername and then reply rather than quoting a large quote chain for another short reply.
Honor
1. Do not attempt to impersonate the moderator.
Purple is my color, but you may use it as long as you are not attempting to impersonate me with it.
Note I don't actually edit in replies all that often. I also often just write replies using normal text.
2. Do not edit or delete your post if for some reason you have the ability to do so. This includes on any related discord server.
3.
Do not attempt to get the moderator to influence the game.
This rule does not refer to day abilities, if any exist, that are stated in your role PM. Please refrain from asking too many questions of the moderator about roleclaims unless absolutely necessary.
4a. PM me regarding VC related questions; V/LA can be declared in thread.
4b.
Do not discuss any disciplinary actions that the moderator takes in-thread.
4c. If there is a declared day action, you can ask the moderator to confirm that day actions have resolved, rather than waiting only for the next Vote Count. If the day action was fake, or if the day action was real but failed, either way the stated moderator response will be: "All pending day actions have resolved."
5.
Trust tells are prohibited.
5a.
Do not replace out in such a manner as to confirm your alignment.
6.
Do not quote or copy-paste moderator communications and other forms of private communications (exception to this -- scum can post their role pms in the scum pt). -- While you can copy/paste communication from hydra discord servers, you should make sure that the text is converted to plain text, and especially that all embedded hyperlinks to player names are removed. Please do not enable timestamps either.
6a. Post links to anything except the main thread, timestamps, and read statuses should never be referenced in the game thread.
Access list numbers in private topics are also covered by this rule.
6b. You may directly copy-paste
unflavored night action results
(usually in bold) as well as your alignment, flip role, and effective role from your role pm, but
do not directly quote them
.
6c. Confirmed same-alignment players can quote their role PMs in their private topics (i.e. masons).
6d. Do not quote your hydra PT in the game thread or include embedded links to your hydra PT in the game thread. You can copy and paste text from your hydra PT so long as it is plain text and does not include links to any posts in the hydra PT.
7. No Bah! posts.
Miscellaneous
1. Follow the spirit of the rules.
1a.
Do not attempt to find loopholes in the ruleset.
1b. While the moderator will generally assume good-faith, action can be taken against inadvertent rule breaks if deemed necessary.
2.
All PTs will be released within 24 hours of the game's conclusion.
Players in any thread except the Dead PT may request redactions at any time
before
I release the PT. The dead thread is released immediately on the conclusion of the game.
3. The moderator reserves the right to update this ruleset as necessary.
New items will be underlined
, and
deleted items will be striked through.
(Note: The markup on this line is an example.)
Setup-Specific Rules
Activity and Deadline Rules
1. Day one lasts 10 days, other day phases will last 8 days. Nights last 24 hours.
2.
Nights may be extended if a replacement is needed.
There will be a minimum of 24 hours between the time a replacement is found and when night actions are due.
3. You will be prodded after
48 hours
of inactivity; this does not change on weekends. All prods should be responded to
in-thread unless the thread is locked in which case pm is acceptable.
4. 2 prod dodges are equivalent to a single prod. If you are prodded again from prod-dodging, you may not prod dodge. Prodges must still include some game content: "Krazy is still scum", "Krazy is still town," and "I like this wagon" are good enough for a prodge. While a subjective rule, prod dodges are objectively defined as posts that consist of little or no content related to the game with the sole purpose of avoiding prodding. Minimum content is not defined here as to mitigate abuse, but do realize that this rule is applied as objectively as possible.
5.
V/LAs should generally be announced in-thread, not by pm.
You should also set V/LA in the User CP to make sure I do not forget.
6. If you have
regular weekend V/LA
, it is
your responsibility
to either inform me at the end of
each week
or to remember to set V/LA status.
7.
V/LA players must post at least once every 96 hours.
Excessively long V/LAs (
14 days or longer
) may have stricter requirements imposed on them.
8. I reserve the right to warn and replace players whom I believe are exploiting loopholes in the activity rules. Please note that players are expected to do more than the bare minimum as outlined by these prodding rules. I reserve the right to warn and/or replace players whom I believe are exploiting loopholes in the activity rules, or are otherwise not treating the game as the commitment they signed up for.
Voting, Lynching, and Twilight Rules
To vote, use
Vote: Player
or VOTE: Player.
To unvote, use
Unvote: Player
or UNVOTE: Player.
You do not have to unvote to change votes.
Furthermore, I will only track the last *valid* vote in your post.
Vote Conspiracy
will not change your existing vote.
Player abbreviations are allowed, although it must be *obvious* who your abbreviation refers to -- to the vote counter, preferably. If your vote is not being caught by the vote counter scrubber, I may edit your post.
Hammer occurs when votes equal to half of all living players (rounded down) plus one cast a vote against the same player (or No Lynch). All votes after a hammer will not be counted, and the hammered player is the one who will flip. The time following a hammer is Twilight, and all players may continue talking.
No lynch will occur if deadline is reached without a hammer.

"The king is dead?"
How was it possible? The king of all the animals of the natural world. He was strong, fearsome, confident. And had a wonderful habit of talking long walks along treacherous cliffs. How could he possibly die?
But there he was...
"Who could have done it?"
the animals asked.
"I bet it was Scar..."
Rafiki muttered.
"That guy always was jelly of Mufasa."
"Nah brah, I got a sick alibi. I was with your mom all last night,"
Contextually speaking, I am not counting 361 as a list of favorite dinosaurs.
To be clear, a list of favorite dinosaurs is a list of favorite dinosaurs even if the list does not include all or only dinosaurs, so long as the author states that it is a list of favorite dinosaurs.

Spoiler:
As Votato dies, you learn something more about Bingle...
Spoiler:
You also learn that in addition to being janitored, that Bingle had also died of
being shot
. The janitor rolecard does not specify that it also covers additional kill flavors but it was meant to include that rules text, sorry for any confusion on that.
It is now Night 2. You have (expired on 2020-05-15 17:44:33) to submit night actions.

Rafiki was making his way through his rounds in the morning, wondering what gruesome horror he would discover next.
"It's a dangerous life, in the animal kingdom,"
he mused.
"Hard time, being an animal, for sure."
He was most nervous walking along the beach, since that's the place he'd seen the body from last night. And low and behold... there was... something? there.
"Is that... is that one of the bad guys?"
he asked himself. He walked closer and poked and prodded, trying to figure it out.
"Seems more fox than human... man, what an ironic way to go... a
fire fox
being
drowned
. Wait, is that irony, or is that... thematic appropriteness?"
He considered this as the day went on, reporting his findings to the town.
In post 2071, April Ludgate wrote:I understand you thought you had some kind of angle to push with it, but it literally states in Krazy’s rules that they can change it.
Mod: can a mafia member change their factional kill flavor? For example, votato's kill flavor is listed as 'gored'; could he have chosen to change this kill flavor to something else, e.g. 'drowned'?
Not based on votato's card, but kill flavor is another flavor mech element of the game which can have mech interactions, so there could be a mafia role that targets a different member of the mafia team to change their kill flavor, sure.

"Okay, I really don't get this one. I mean how is it even possible?"
Rafiki asks.
"I dunno man, but have you noticed that... it doesn't seem like there's a lot of... animals left around?"
Cecil responds.
"What do you mean?"
Rafiki asks.
"I mean... I'm just saying, there's only three animals left alive. I think... if we don't find who did this soon, we're gonna be in some real trouble."
"Here you are saying that,"
Rafiki says,
"But what I wanna know is, how the hell do you drown a jellyfish?"
Miss Lynch has been drowned! She was...
