Ruleset

(shamelessly taken from Hectic by way of Prism, with my own modifications)

1. Fundamentals

• All site-wide rules apply. Read and respect them.
  
• This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. This might be the most important rule.
  
• There is no personal communication regarding this game outside of this gamethread & associated PTs.
  
• Do not quote any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, backup moderator, or fellow players. Do not reference timestamps of private communication.
  
• Do not engage in the use of trust tells.
  
• Heated discussion and debate is allowed, but personal attacks are not. I reserve the right to protect my players, and all other community members. Please PM myself and the backup moderator if you feel something needs our immediate intervention.
  
• If you make a post indicating that the game is having a negative impact on your out of game relationships or well being, you will be warned or forcibly replaced, depending on severity. If you believe the game is having a negative impact on your life, send me a PM rather than posting about it in the game thread.
  
• Play to your Win Condition.

2. Phases & Activity

• Please post at least once every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. If you fail to respond to said prod within 24 hours, you will be replaced.
  
• Contentless "prodges" do not count for the purpose of resetting the prod timer.
  
• At the time you would receive a third prod, or fail to respond to a prod by posting in thread within 24 hours (or by PM if at Night), you will be force replaced.
  
• This game uses a unique setup with no traditional eliminations. Instead, the game takes place over a combined deadline of
  21 days
  .
  
• If the town has not achieved its win condition before the deadline, the mafia automatically wins.
  
• Trusts should be done using bold tags, like so:
  I trust playername
  or
  Trust: playername
  . Trusts hidden inside spoiler tags will not count. Abbreviating names is acceptable as long as it is clear who is being trusted. If I think it should count as a trust, it will.
  
• You are allowed to rescind your trust if it has not aleady been accepted. Post something to the effect of
  I do not trust playername
  or
  Untrust: playername
  .
  
• A player can only have one trust active at a time. If a player offers a new trust, their previous trust will be rescinded.
  
• Players cannot extend trust during the first 24 hours of the game. Attempts to trust during that period will not count.
  
• The following is a list of outlawed shenanigans:
  • Using invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
    
  • Editing your posts (if you have the power to do so)
    
  • Quoting any PTs you may have access to
• If any of these offenses are committed, I have the right to force-replace you from the game, or, with listmod permission, modkill you.

3. Miscellaneous

• Do not impersonate the moderator.
  
• Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM me directly. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.
  
• I have the final say on any issue. If you disagree with any action or inaction taken by me, feel free to PM myself or the relevant listmod,
  Something_Smart
  .
  
• While I have tried to be thorough, I reserve the right to take corrective action with or without warning for any issue I feel was omitted in this ruleset.

Mafia cannot Trust Fall together.

To be clear: this means mafia cannot

accept

a trust from their teammate. They can still

propose

a trust, or else the game would be trivial to solve.

[petapan]

not too many thoughts on the game itself - town played well, the playerlist had the right composition where everyone was calm and cooperative. that's the best way to play this setup, and the results followed accordingly. it was also nice because past runs of this setup have gotten unnecessarily heated and even toxic at times, i was concerned before running that this might be inherent to the setup but you all proved that to be untrue. as for the mafia, obviously patch did a very good job, but in this setup the mafia team is only as good as its weakest member. not to give any disrespect to random nurse, but having a lengthy V/LA right at the start of the game in a setup where your goal is to be townread had very predictable consequences. you can't get townread if you're not posting - in a regular game people will usually give an inactive a pass, but the goal isn't survival in this setup. it's being trusted. big thanks to yessiree for replacing in to a fairly unenviable position, was a spirited effort but i'm not sure anyone could have won the game from that spot.

thanks for playing

[petapan]

this setup orob8is something i'd play in again

Ty peta! Please consider running this again

yeah i might run it back in a couple months, have other stuff i wanna mod in the immediate term
