Rules

(References: Equinox, ReaperCharlie, LlamaFluff, Vi, dramonic)

General

1. Be familiar with the sitewide rules and guidelines.
2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs falls under this rule. Keep it civil.
3. Play to your win condition.
4. Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running.
5. Do not quote or post any screen captures of any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs, QuickTopics, and instant messaging logs. Paraphrasing is okay.
6. If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason.
7. If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.
8. Regular and boldface
   dark purple
   -colored text are reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me or post in hidden text, as covered in another rule.

Activity

1. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 72-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond
   in the game thread
   before a replacement is sought.
2. Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. After three prods, replacements will happen upon my discretion. Prod timers re-set with each new game Day.
3. Posting content is an absolute must. If a player posts nothing but prod dodges for an entire game Day, he or she will be subject to replacement upon my discretion.
4. If you anticipate being away for at least 72 hours, please PM me AND post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.

Pre-Game

1. During Pre-Game you will receive your role PM. Confirm by PM, as instructed.
2. Confirmed players will be bolded on the player list. When 8/9 players have confirmed, the game thread will open and Day 1 will begin.
3. Anyone with a mod-provided QT may discuss in their QT during pre-game until I instruct them not to.

Day

1. Days will have a fixed deadline of 14 real-time days. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
2. Players may vote to No Lynch; a no lynch will occur if a majority of players vote for no lynch or if no majority is achieved by deadline.
3. Lynch is achieved by simple majority.
4. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
5. Votes should be on a separate line and flushed left, and MUST be bolded (e.g.,
   Vote: Amrun
   ). The same applies to vote revocations (e.g.,
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
   Unvote, Vote: Amrun
   ). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: Amrun) is optional. Abbreviations are okay as long as it's clear for whom the vote is made.
6. If I think it's a vote, it is a vote.
7. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene.
8. Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that contains no game-related content.

Night

1. Nights in this game will have a 48 hour deadline, and I reserve as much as 24 hours after that to process action(s) and post the flip.
2. Players who have a night action to submit must send it in before the announced deadline. I accept provisional actions up until the announced deadline, at which time I will use the last action submitted.

Moderator Actions

1. Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game; in fact, this game will have no flavor.
2. If there is an error in the vote count or something similar, bold your concern in the thread. Please PM me for all other issues.
3. Violations of these rules will result in consequences. Pretending to violate these rules will also result in consequences. What those consequences are depend on the severity of the action and on the game state.
4. Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of all changes in the thread.

Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.


Here is an example of a town role that may or may not appear in the game:

You are a

Vanilla Townie

.

You possess no special abilities besides your vote.

Win Condition:

You win when all scum have been eliminated and at least one Townsperson remains alive.

Confirmation:

The game thread will open once 8/9 players have confirmed. Please confirm by paraphrasing your role to me via PM.

[Amrun]

With 8/9 players confirmed, Day 1 is now open.

[Psyche]

Whew. So. Guys. I'm going to do the salient thing and refuse to post again until something scummy happens.

That is all.

[DLG]

Howdy!

VOTE: Psyche

That's truly scummy of you. Why?

[Psyche]

Cuz I can.

Watch me post again even though I said I wouldn't.

Like a boss.

[Deltabacon]

VOTE: FatCat

Because neither economical crisis nor overweight kittens are funny.

[FatCat]

Psyche, not posting until something suspicious happens isn't good for the town or the game. Why would you do this?

VOTE: PSYCHE

Deltabacon, I'm just looking at your location, are you a blue or a red?

[Deltabacon]

Red, but I dont follow football that much.

VOTE: PSYCHE

Deltabacon, I'm just looking at your location, are you a blue or a red?

You're just saying that so you won't seem like a Fat Cat.

[Junpei]

Psyche: What is your logic behind not posting before something happens, and what is your logic for saying this is your intention and then immediately defecting?

[DLG]

@ Junpei
Not before just something happens, something

scummy

. Which means he doesn't want to slip up, and he doesn't want to be involved in making that something scummy happen. Self preserving and not wanting to scumhunt.

What's your rationale for not voting scum?

@ Ellibereth
Agreed. Vote, please?

@ Deltabacon
Why RVS? Scum's been found. Help lynch him.

[FatCat]

Red, but I dont follow football that much.

Come on you reds. Your a good man in my eyes.

Can we say for sure that Psyche is mafia? His first post was stupid, but it would be a stupid post no matter if he was a townie or a mafia.

I can wave my arms like this:

You totally need some third-order theory of mind. This is terrible.
Iwonder if you honestly think I was behaving authentically and with the intentions you ascribed on me.
By the way, do you?

My play up to now has been to end the RVS with the first post of the game. Plan successful.

DLG's response kinda reads as over-acting, like he took a hardball stance on my post JUST to take a hardball stance on my post and look good doing it. It's not a convincing performance because it's overdone.

Let's start there. DLG seems like a pretty reactive person, right?

vote DLG

. OMGUS, mayne.

And Junpei's post reminds me of a splashing magikarp...

Horrendous logic. Psyche is a nailed-on Mafia.

Pretty easy day 1.

It's Page 1! You're expecting me to pretend a strong case for a lynch can be produced on D1?

So, you want to do some scumhunting? Good deal.

You're obviously not a derpwad; I've never thought so. So, I have no interest in you pretending to be one and being flippant while doing so. The intentions I ascribed to your post were logical.

I'll accept you did it intentionally to shove out of RVS. It's a silly ploy, in my books, but to each his own. And, if it worked, as it did, good on you.

I'm not sure what you mean about Junpei's post, but it did strike me as overly even-handed. Like a display of just how serious he is to [mocking voice] get to the bottom of all this goshdarn business. [/mocking voice]

UNVOTE: Psyche

UNVOTE: Psyche
VOTE: Junpei

Well sir, you were won over quite easily.

I must remember Psyche's line for real-life situations as it seems to be quite an effective one.

"Oh what I said just offended you? Ignore it...I was just reaction-gauging."

[Junpei]

(inb4 people don't believe my obviously reaction-fielding post wasn't just me being horridly unintelligent...)

Alright, all reaction tests must have purpose and intention. Lets hear about those things for this test and it better be beyond "to catch scum". What reactions were you specifically looking for?

[DLG]

That's oversimplifying the exchange, I think.

I did push overboard on just the first post of the game.

Psyche's reaction was pretty decent. He dropped the facade and actually made something out of it. Looks to me like he was checking my reaction
(scumhunting). Plus, he didn't just focus on me. He looked at your answer and Junpei's post. Again, more scumhunting.

That all looks like decent townieness, to me.

Are you disappointed you can't sheep behind my push anymore? Your buddying of me (by attacking Psyche's "case" on me) is noted, as well.

What'd you think of Junpei's post?

Preview edit:
Junpei's first post. I like the second one much better.
