WAMB House Rules
The Mod
1. Hi! I'm the mod. How's it going?
2. Everything written by the me will be in blue. No other text in post messages should appear in blue. If you post anything in blue (other than your signature) it will be edited to a different color, and a player may be mod-killed if they are pretending I wrote it.
3. You may paraphrase communications you have with me. Directly quoting anything I wrote to you is prohibited, and a player may be mod-killed for doing it.
4. If you need to get my attention on a matter, you can post in the thread
in bold
, or send me a PM.
5. As the mod, I am always right and often accurate. If you see me mess up, please let me know.
Posting During Day, Night, and Twilight
6. During the day and twilight, surviving players may only discuss this game in this thread. All other communication with other players is prohibited.
7. Once I lock the thread and declare night, you may communicate with other players only if your role PM explicitly says you may.
8. If you are killed or lynched, you may make one short "bah!" post.
Voting and Lynches
9. Only votes that are in bold and appear substantially in the format
Vote: That Guy
will be counted.
10.
Unvotes
must be bolded, and are mandatory before changing votes.
11. A lynch occurs when a player receives a majority of possible votes (half the number of the surviving players rounded down plus one). Once a player is lynched, the game enters twilight and no further votes or unvotes will be counted. Night occurs when I declare the lynch and lock the thread.
12. You may vote for no lynch. A majority of these votes will end the day without a lynch.
13. I will edit a vote count into the top post of each page. In each vote count, I will make a note of how current the count is ("Current up to post ###"). Vote counts will, as with everything I write, be in this shade of blue.
Deadlines
14. Days (including the first) will have default deadline of two weeks. A day deadline can be extended one week by player request.
15. Nights will have a default deadline of 48 hours, or 72 hours if any part of the night will occur over a weekend. A night deadline can be extended 24 hours by player request.
16. If a day deadline passes and no one has a majority of votes, the day ends with no lynch. If a night deadline passes and you have not made a night choice, you will take no night action that night.
Activity
17. If you will be V/LA for more than three days, please post in bold or send me a PM.
18. You are expected to post at least once every three days. If you do not, I will send you a prod, which you must respond to by posting in this thread within 48 hours. If you do not respond to a prod, or have to be prodded more than twice, you will probably be replaced.
Ok, Let's Get Started
19. In addition to these rules, all site-wide rules apply.
20. By now you should have received a role PM. If you are a townie, you have recieved the PM below:
Welcome to Mini 850, Werewolves in The WAMB! You are a townie. You have no known allies. You are pro-town, and win when all anti-town players are dead. At night, you take no action. Please PM me to confirm.
If you are a werewolf, you have recieved the PM below:
Welcome to Mini 850, Werewolves in The WAMB! You are a werewolf. You are allied with ____________. You are anti-town, and win when yours is the only surviving faction. At night, you may communicate with members of your faction and collectively attempt to kill another player. Please PM me to confirm.
Other players may have received role PMs describing other normal mafia and/or werewolf roles, including but not limited to cop, doctor, angel, priest, vigilante, serial killer, mason, role-blocker, mafia, and godfather.
21. Please PM me to confirm (this may be the 4th time you've read that).
22. Once all players have confirmed, or at 5 pm Friday, EST, whichever is sooner, Day 1 will start and I will unlock this thread. Day 1 is the first phase of the game. If a player has not confirmed by 5 pm Friday, they will be replaced.
23. Good luck, and have fun!
