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
. If you want to vote for someone but already have a vote on another person, you MUST unvote before voting for someone else. If no one reaches the needed votes for a lynch by the time of deadline, there will be no lynch at all that day.

DAY PHASE:
Vote, and shit. There will be a universal deadline of 3 weeks for every phase.
3.
NIGHT PHASE:
Thread shall be locked tight until the next day begins. This phase will last 72 hours (3 real life days) or less. Why so short? Because those of you with night actions can send them to my PM box as early as you want to. 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. If you do not plan on using your night action, PLEASE INFORM ME so I can get the ball rolling.

PARTICIPATION:
If you are not involved in this game, please do not post at all. Once you are dead, you are allowed to make ONE fluff post (Bah, go town, etc.) until the game is over with. I expect everyone to post at least every 120 hours (5 days) for day phases, otherwise I will poke you with a hot cattle-prod. Inactivity past the initial prod will earn a 2nd prod 48 hours (2 days) later. Don't PM me to tell me you're still breathing;
post in the thread.
Who cares if you're alive or not? Not me. All I care about is activity, which is why I will consider replacing you if you go without a post for a week. A replacement will be sought as soon as the 2nd prod is issued, and failure to act upon the prod will see you swapped for another player.
5.
ROLES:
You are allowed to directly quote your role PM. I provided a sample role PM that the majority of the players have received, so you scum better not come crying to me about not having a safeclaim. If you wish to claim your ability, targets, or other information you may have gathered, that is allowed. 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.

EDITING? HELL NOES!
Do not edit your post for any reason... Not that you can unless you have special powers, but still. I don't care if you made typos that read like something spoken by naked aboriginals in the village of South Rukutikijagulki; DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. If you feel the need to add or make a correction, just make a second post.

STORYLINE:
I'll write funny scenes (funny to me at least) from time to time, so treat them as nothing more than the Mod's personal storyline. If I have you talking to another player in an unorthodox way, it's not meant to reveal anything about role or alignment. Write-ups will be based around your own commentary for each day phase. For night write-ups, I reveal absolutely nothing about which player did what or who got crept up from behind; only who dies a fast and hilarious death.

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. You will be allowed to discuss any content from this game in other games, and you can even refer to this game by name. If anyone in your other games thinks you're breaking a rule about "talking about the game outside the game," feel free to refer them to rule #8.
9.
OFFENSES:
Violation of my law is not cool. At all. 1st time offenders get a warning. 2nd time offenders will be penalized in some fashion, and I don't mean Gucci or Prada. 3rd time offenders will be made voteless, and can continue playing. 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.
