Jeffcole1's Mafia Contract
(with elements borrowed from various mods)
As your moderator, I will:
1. Treat this game as a commitment, both to myself and to you, the players.
2. Resolve any and all disputes in a timely and unbiased manner. In any situation not covered by these rules, my word is final.
3. Post an updated vote count no less than once per real-life day.
4. Prod anyone who fails to post in the thread for 72 consecutive hours (not counting weekends or U.S.-recognized holidays), or upon request by either at least three (3) living players or at least half of all living players, whichever is less; players so prodded must respond in thread within 48 hours of receiving said prod or be replaced. If three prods are issued to a single player in a single game day, or if five prods are issued to a single player over the course of the game, that player will be automatically replaced.
5. Be open to having any mistakes on my part pointed out in a civil manner, and correct such mistakes at the first opportunity.
6. Replace or, failing that, modkill any player found to be in violation of the rules listed below. Modkills will be carried out in the manner which I deem most damaging to the offender's original faction. In addition, a player who is modkilled will be turned into a Neutral Survivor, and thus automatically lose, regardless of whether their original faction wins.
7. Inform all players if I anticipate losing access to the game for a period of time which would prevent me from carrying out the above obligations. In such a case, control of the game will be turned over to my backup mod, TDC.
As players in this game, you are expected to:
1. Treat this game as a commitment to yourself, to your fellow players, and to me.
2. Be civil to your fellow players and to me; no one likes a jackass.
3. Be active; at least one post per 24 hours is recommended. Also see the above note regarding prods and replacement.
4. Refrain from using
red text
in your posts, as this is my mod color. Anyone using red text without intent to impersonate me will have said text edited to black and be given a warning. Anyone caught impersonating me for any reason will be forcibly replaced or, failing that, modkilled.
5. Refrain from attempting to hide text via invisible or small text tags. Any such text found will be made visible or simply deleted, and the offender will be given a warning.
6. Refrain from editing or deleting posts, should you have the ability to do so.
7. Refrain from communicating with other players outside of this thread, except where explicitly permitted by your role PM.
8. Refrain from further posting once your death scene has been posted. You are permitted one "Bah!"-type post, as long as said post does not contain any game-related information.
9. Refrain from quoting, or pretending to quote, any personal communications with me or with other players; doing so is grounds for an immediate modkill. Paraphrasing private information is allowed, but if your paraphrase is deemed too close to the actual content of the PM in question, you may be at risk of a modkill. If you're not sure, PM me first and I'll decide if it's too close.
10. PM me with any questions regarding your role or other private information; do not post such questions in the thread.
11.
Bold
any requests made toward me in thread for ease of detection.
12. Post a notice in the thread if you anticipate being absent for longer than 48 hours. If you will be absent for a particularly long time, I may deem it necessary to replace you.
13. Have fun and enjoy the game.
Voting, Deadlines, and Lynches:
1. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). Once said simple majority is reached, unvotes will not stop the lynch.
2. Please submit votes as:
Vote: <name>
. Votes will NOT be counted otherwise! Abbreviations are accepted, as long as it is clear who is being voted for.
3. Please submit vote revocations as either
Unvote: <name>
or
Unvote
. Unvotes are required before changing votes.
4. You may
Vote: No Lynch
- a simple majority of votes of this type are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
5. Once a simple majority is reached (for either a lynch or No Lynch), the game immediately enters Twilight. This lasts until I post a death scene and lock the thread. All players may continue to post during Twilight, including the player to be lynched (if any).
6. In this game, each Day phase will have a fixed, non-negotiable deadline of 4 weeks (28 days). This deadline may be shortened at my discretion if I feel discussion is lagging. If a simple majority is not reached by the deadline, No Lynch will occur. Each Night phase will have a non-negotiable deadline of 4 days. Any Night actions not submitted by the deadline will be forfeit, unless the owner's role PM says otherwise.
At least one player in this game is a Vanilla Townie, with the following role PM:

You're a

. You have no special powers other than your mind and your vote. Use them wisely! You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. The game thread can be found

Please confirm via return PM.
