Welcome, everyone, to Plato's Symposium!
This is the second game of my historically (in)accurate Days of Yore Series! =D
I hope you guys have your thinking caps on, and your hearts open
The following post contains the rule set for this game.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns (or just want to say hello), please hit me up with a PM!
Finally, Thanks For Playing! =D
Rules
General Gameplay and Etiquette:
Spoiler:
1. Read these rules. By asking any questions that can be answered by reading these rules, I reserve the right to point and laugh while answering.
2. Play to win and have fun! I don't know why these are always mutually exclusive in rule setups. Just enjoy and don't be a jerk! Good luck!
3. You may not quote private information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. This includes information discussed in any private chats, neighbourhoods, PMs, etc. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable. If you are unsure, ask first.
4. There is to be no personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
5. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM or via Post in your PT by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions. A simple “No Action” PM or post makes it so I'm not worried you forgot to send me something.
6. As a general rule you should aim to post a every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving. I know some of you like to lurk, but don't make a habit of it please. I will prod players after 48 hours of inactivity. If you do not respond to a prod after 24 hours, I will start searching for a replacement. If you are prodded 3 times within the game, I will prod you after each 24 hours of inactivity, with no grace periods, and replace as necessary.
7. No invisible, impossibly small, or encrypted text. I feel this is a given though.
8. Don't edit or delete posts, whether you can or not.
9.
10. Basically, follow all Site Rules.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
Spoiler:
1. This game will have public voting with 14 day deadlines until the start of day 3. From then there will be 10 day deadlines. If a majority is reached early, the hammer will fall and that person will be lynched. If no lynch is secured by deadline, a No Lynch will occur.
2. Night phases will last 48 hours throughout the game. All actions must be submitted to myself (Aristophanes) by this time.
3. Please submit votes as: VOTE: PlayerName or
4. Please submit vote revocations as
5. You may vote for a "No Lynch" if you would like. Unlike for a regular hammer, it takes half of the players' votes in order to succeed.
6. Once majority is reached, the game enters twilight until I post a death scene or lock the thread (obviously); all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
7. You are allowed one (or at least a non-intrusive number of) "Bah!' post(s) after death. They may not include anything game related.

Vote: PlayerName
in the thread. Votes will NOT be counted if they are not Bolded or Vote Tagged! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
