RULES (inspired by the rule sets of Faraday, Maestro, and Nexus):
General Behavioral Expectations:
• All site-wide rules are to be followed. They can be found
here. Rules
here are also in effect. Important points are:
o Personal attacks on any basis are prohibited. Excessive vulgarity will also be stomped upon. When in doubt, err on the side of being civil and respectful.
o Play to your win condition.
Game Play, Voting, Lynching, and Night Actions:
• You may not edit or delete posts once they have been submitted.
• Do not quote mod communications anywhere in the thread.
so do not use it for any purposes, particularly impersonating me.
• Claiming to be an anti-town player sharing an alignment with another living player in the game is a modkillable offense regardless of one's actual alignment or whether the statement was intended to be taken seriously.
• When placing a vote, it is not necessary to unvote first or to put your vote on a new line. However, votes must be submitted in bold like this:
VOTE: penguin_alien
or like this:
VOTE: penguin_alien. I will accept any votes in these formats so long as I can tell the intended target from the abbreviation used.
• Lynches (or decisions to no-lynch) require a majority of the votes in play.
• No cryptography is permitted.
• Discussion may continue in twilight.
• Once you are killed, do not post in the game thread. This includes ‘Bah!’ posts.
• Night actions may be PMed to me or posted in bold in the appropriate QTs. If you know you will be V/LA during the night phase, you may send in a conditional night action in advance.
Activity Parameters and Mod Communication:
• Prods will be sent out by PM to players who have not posted within the past 48 hours. Players receiving prods have 24 hours to post before I will start looking for a replacement. If the day ends before you can respond in-thread, you must PM me within the allotted time.
• Three prods in one game day phase or four prods overall will result in my replacing you.
• Day phases will last two weeks. Night phases will last two days.
• While you are welcome to post about any issues that arise in the thread (use bold to get my attention, please) you may also PM me concerning any problems. Use your best judgment here, and I will endeavor to do the same. This also applies to issues with me/my modding or other players.
• If you go on V/LA, please PM me.
• Alterations to these rules will be announced in-thread and PMed to all players in the event they become necessary either due to unforeseen circumstances or my own oversights.
Miscellaneous or Game-Specific Topics:
• Please do your utmost to avoid alt slips. If you do mispost, please quote the post as the hydra account ASAP.
Violations of these rules will result in a warning for a first offense and a potential forced-replacement or modkill for subsequent offenses. I reserve the right to skip the warning for particularly willful or egregious violations.
