If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, morality and entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
As suggested, Ruleset, deadline/posting expectations, and hydra preference for Mini 1512.
*Hydras are fine. However, if you post from your main or an alt by accident, I expect you to quote it with the hydra account you signed up with, as I'll be deleting the posts made from the wrong account. This will help keep my check on activity up to date and avoid confusion for the other players.
* Deadlines will be 2 weeks and nights are 48 hours. If the game extends during holidays, I will either suspend the deadline for 5 days or so, or lock the thread for a week so people can go be with their friends/families. <3
* Prods are issued after a player has not posted for 48 hours (this counter is reset at the start of each day phase). Players have 24 hours to pick up their prod, and 48 hours to make a game related post in the thread, before a replacement is sought. You get two prods. Players requiring a 3rd prod will be automatically replaced. There is no third prod.
*
Please check the player list before the game starts. If you do not feel you can complete this game with someone else on the list, please let me know and I will find a replacement for you. Do not do this halfway through the game. I expect replacement requests to be made for justifiable reasons and not because you don't like someone.
* Otherwise, you can expect timely vote counts, silly pictures, and lots of fun.
Spoiler: Rules
All rules listed in the Boilerplate Mafiascum Game Rules page apply to this game except where contradicted in the additional rules below, in which case the following rules will take precedence:
Game-play:
Blue
is reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me.
Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
If it looks like you're voting, it will be counted. You may UNVOTE: before changing your vote, but it is not necessary. If you wish to remove your vote entirely, you must UNVOTE: .
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). A No Lynch can be reached the same way. If no majority is reached at deadline, the Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene. Day ends when the moderator locks the thread.
Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that does NOT contain any game information. If you think it might, leave it out. Things like, "Go town!" or "Bah!" are acceptable.
Player Conduct:
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to make a game-related post in the game thread before a replacement is sought. If the prod is not opened within 24 hours, I will seek a replacement sooner.
There is no third prod;
players requiring a third prod will be replaced immediately.
Insults, personal attacks, obscene name calling, and general bad behavior will not be tolerated and will result in force-replacement. Don't tempt fate; just play nice.
Deadlines and Night Actions:
Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 48 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances. Not being able to make up your mind is not an extreme circumstance.
If I do not receive your action by deadline, the action is forfeited. You may submit ahead of time. You can also make as many changes as necessary, and at deadline I will take the last action you submitted. Actions may be submitted via PM or bolded in a QuickTopic.

Four slots remaining for my game, so if you /inned and want it to just start already, then by all means go nag your friends/acquaintances/people you'd like to play with into joining or something.
Please do not do this. We provide the edit function on the queue forums for mods to update their replacement thread posts as necessary. Doing it in the game queue threads risks the list mod missing post alterations; I only noticed you had edited your post because EspeciallyTheLies replied to it. If you need to change something about your sign-up decisions, make a new post on the corresponding thread, don't edit your previous posts.

apologies, I didn't think about that... won't do it again.
