Good vs Evil, Chaos vs Law
This is an experimental set up, with two towns with two separate win conditions.
In a world of dungeons and dragons, or ghouls and goblins, of knights and scoundrels there is little room for grey.
Do you stand for Good? Do you strive for others, sacrificing your wants for others needs?
Or do you stand for Evil? Do you take what you can get from this world, staring darkness in the face?
And how do you live within this world?
Do you stand for Law? Do you believe in rules and structure, of oaths and honor?
Or do you stand for Chaos? Do you shirk the restrictions that others erect and run toward your own ends?
Good cannot abide Evil. Just as Law cannot abide Chaos.

The Rules
> Fundamental
1) The site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.
2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread. Rant Buddies are cool, as long as they don't provide feedback. The mod's inbox is always here if you're feeling frustrated too!
3) Don’t quote any private communication. This includes with the mod, masons, neighbours, between hydras. Doing so will result in a modkill. Always paraphrase.
4) Play nice. Step over the line of what I feel is acceptable and I will warn/force replace you.
5) No Sig/Avatar bets, this is actually covered by rule 1 but people seem to forget it’s a site wide rule.
> Voting, Lynching & Death
6) For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form Vote: Equinox or VOTE: Equinox. Caps and colons are optional, but it does need to be bolded. Any other derivation will NOT be counted (i.e. hammer: Mina would not be counted)
7) Unvotes aren't necessary, but will be appreciated.
8) A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% +1 of the votes. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight. Night will begin as soon as I have declared the lynch.
9) You may vote for a ‘no lynch’ if desired. If a majority of the players in the game vote for a no lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch.
10) Once you're dead, you are dead. Do not post in the thread until the game is over, not even a 'bah' post. There'll be a graveyard to complain in/tell us how awesome you are/complain to me.
> Activity & Deadlines
12) Treat this game as a commitment, and try your best to stay active.
13) Prods will be issued after 48 hours in a row without posting. If I keep having to prod you I'll get angry and replace you. Players may request a prod on another player too, I'm human I may forget so if you want someone prodded just tell me.
14) If you do not make a post within 24 hours of being prodded I will begin the search for a replacement. If you post before I find one you get to keep your spot though.
15) Things come up in life, if you need time off for something, please let myself and the players know in-thread for V/LA purposes. I will be flexible, but if you can't be here for a significant amount of time I will replace you.
16) Deadlines for each game day will be 2 weeks.
17) In the event of a deadline ending without a player gaining a majority of votes, there will no lynch.
18) Nights will have a 48 hour deadline. If you fail to send in a night choice, I will automatically default to 'no choice' for that night, and you will do nothing.
19) Deadlines will only be extended if I need a number of replacements, or barring some other freak circumstances. Apart from that laziness, or anything else, will not result in a deadline extension.
> Other Information
20) No mechanism or website may be used to prove that a decision was achieved randomly. I.e. you may chose who claims first by rolling a dice, but you'll have to trust the person who rolled the dice not to lie. This means no dice tags in my game.
21) RED and Mech font are my colours I will use for modly purposes. Try not to use them, oh also no hard to read colours.
22) I will try to post Vote Counts as often as possible. You can request them, but it probably won’t be necessary, expect one every few pages at worst.
23) It's more than possible I've missed a rule or haven't completely covered something. Don't be a prick and try to exploit it, or I will punish you. If something is fuzzy for you, please ask!
24) I reserve the right to add more, or modify existing rules at any time. If this happens, I will let everyone know in thread.
25) Flavour is just flavour. Flavour is also spelled with a u. Silly Americans.
26) There is no rule eleven. Mostly because I numbered this wrong and going back to edit it takes :effort:
27) Have fun!
> Game Specific Mechanics
28) When a faction achieves its win condition, all members of that faction 'win' and then leave the game. Any surviving direct opponents also leave the game. The game then continues until the remaining two factions conclude their conflict.
29) Classes are restricted to the Alignment possibilities detailed in the 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons players handbook. Only classes from that book will be present, with the addition of Commoners.
Sample Role PM:
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Cecil.
Alignment: True Neutral
Class: Druid
Class Abilities: Power of Balance - You can help everybody win the game and live happily ever after, as long as you survive Night 0... damn.
Win Condition: You win when everybody else does... damn.
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Guy.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Class: Commoner
Class Abilities: Nil
Win Condition: You win when all Chaotic Evil players have been eliminated and at least one Lawful Good player is left alive.
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Lady.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Class: Commoner
Class Abilities: Nil
Win Condition: You win when all Lawful Evil players have been eliminated and at least one Chaotic Good player is left alive.

Also, I'm going to slightly increase the length of Day 1 by 24 hours. This is partially because of the replacements and partially because I'll be at a funeral at that time.
So if you run up a lynch in that time period, you will possibly be getting a long twilight, although I'll have my phone with me and will lock the thread if I see it. There, everybody is informed.
Mod: Can we get a deadline extension to let the replacements catch up?
I'll allow another 24 hours on top of the last deadline posted. I think this game will be better served by having Night soon, as I keep losing players.
And once again looking for a replacement.
I'm v/la for the next 16 hours, but will check on phone as best I can
Well fuck....
I didnt know that youve been rplacing people this whole game. I guess I'll stay but I cant be as active. Ill be able to make a few posts every 24 hours but not that much.
Thank you, that's more than adequate as far as activity goes.
Also, the last vote count has been fixed (I think, please review your vote to make sure it's accurate)

After a long and frustrating day the villagers finally turned on Foxace36. The sun was already sinking below the horizon as he willingly approached the gallows.
"By the light of all that is good, I give myself here today to hopefully shine a light in dark places!"
He placed the noose around his head and jumped.
A holy light struck him as his body fell against the rope. His
Lawful Good
soul floated upwards to be claimed in righteousness.
The villagers looked around, many with unsurprised faces. As the light from Foxace36's death faded, it was very dark indeed. Night had fallen.
Night 1 has begun. 72 hours. Those with actions, PM them in.

Lets try and keep calm shall we? I've already had to replace people due to personal attacks and personality clashes. So from now on, lets stop personal attacks. Attack people's arguments, but not the people.
In other news, ooba and Norman have a few hours left before I start looking for replacements for them.
Mod: when one side leaves the game, what information about them will be revealed? Do the scum teams know what information about themselves or the other scum team will be revealed?
The alignment and classes of all players leaving the game will be posted. The scum teams were not told this because *cough* I hadn't thought of it

In post 1831, TiphaineDeath wrote:hey guys, norman has been threatening me, I don't like this, even though I offered him his spot back quite nicely, do you know how I may report this to the site administrator?
I'm attempting to deal with this issue externally. I'd prefer people leave it alone for now.

This situation has been more or less dealt with. TiphaineDeath, as he has posted, will remain in the game. Norman will remain replaced from the game. Carry on.
In other news, I'm looking for a replacement for Jackal711.

Still seeking replacement for Jackal711.
I have also added 24 hours to the deadline. I won't extend it beyond this, as I think the day dragging on and the thread becoming longer is not going to help the replacements.

Mod, are all of the roles in "Post 2" of this thread in this game for certain?
The 'classes' that I have listed in that post are not all necessarily in the game. I listed all possible classes along with their alignment restrictions so as to not disadvantage players who had no experience with 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons.

Another long and exhausting day passed. Voices were growing hoarse and raspy as the sun moved steadily toward the horizon. Finally, as the first stars became visible and torches were lit around the square, Shadoweh was thrust onto the gallows. "No!" she screamed, as a noose was forced around her neck, "I am a cleric! I serve the gods of peace and order! You are making a mistake."
But as her body fell towards the ground, but not far enough, and life left her body, her neck went rigid. Her mouth opened and a small black cloud escaped and disappeared down into the earth. It seems she had made a deal and her masters were prompt in collecting. Evidence of such a dark contract easily labelled her as
Lawful Evil
.
The townspeople went to bed, some sleeping a little easier tonight.
Night 2 begins. You have a little over 72 hours to send me your actions.
