RULES abridged to some extent, but accredited to Zorblag accredited to Vel.
General Gameplay and Etiquette:
1> You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2> There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Players who can communicate outside of the forum postings may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3> No heavy use of ciphers or encryption is allowed. If you're not sure whether something counts you should ask the Moderator before using it.
4> If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
5> Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6> As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
1> A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur.
2> Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
3> Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4> Please submit votes as either
VOTE: PlayerName or
Vote: PlayerName
. Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous. Note that the vote tags formats votes correctly and are encouraged.
5> Please submit vote revocations as either UNVOTE: PlayerName or Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes, but it just makes things SO much easier for me. Again, note that the unvote tags format this correctly and are encouraged.
6> You may
VOTE: No Lynch
- if more than half of the players are voting for No Lynch at any point the day will end in a No Lynch. Otherwise the no lynch votes are just like any other. So an even number of players requires half + 1 votes; an odd number requires a majority, similar to a normal lynch.
7> This game will have a three week deadline on Day 1, and two week deadline on Day (>1). At deadline, the player (or No Lynch) with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, there will be no lynch. Should there be no active votes at deadline no one will be lynched.
8> Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
9> Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may submit one “Bah” post. This post can not include any game-related information. Your “bah” post is a privilege, do not fail to conduct it properly.
Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1>
Blue
text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed. Do not attempt to impersonate me by using
Blue
text. I will know.
2> If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3> The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4> Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
5> Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6> Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill and/or a ModBlacklist.
7> If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
The Golden Rule:
1! Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.
Thanks for reading!
