Rules (stolen from Chesskid who stole them from Faraday who stole them from Hoopla with some modifications).
> Fundamental
1) The site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.
2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread.
3) Do not quote any communication you have with me, the moderator of the game. Depending on the circumstance, you may be able to paraphrase things I have sent you (such as a role PM). Use common sense and if you are unsure feel free to ask me via PM. This includes timestamps of role pm's.
4) Be courteous to your fellow player. This is just a game - please don't bring personal grudges into the game. Try and keep it civil.
4a) No Sig/Avatar bets, I can't have someone having an awful avatar as a result of my game.
> Voting, Lynching & Death
5) For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form
Vote: D3f3nd3r
. Caps and colons are optional, but it does need to be bolded.
6) Unvotes aren't required, but are recommended.
7) A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% rounded up of the votes. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight.
8) You may NOT vote for a no-lynch. If this would happen, the only thing that would happen is a vote reset.
9) Once you're dead, you are dead. You are allowed one contentless "bah" post, but I will remove it if it doesn't humor me.
> Activity & Deadlines
10) Treat this game as a commitment, and try your best to stay active.
11) Prods will be issued after 72 hours in a row without posting. If I keep having to prod you I'll get angry and replace you. Players may request a prod on another player too, I'm human I may forget so if you want someone prodded just tell me.
11a) If you do not open a prod within 24 hours of it being sent I will begin looking for a replacement.
11b) If you don't pick up your Role PM within 48 hours of game starting or within 96 hours of it being sent, you will be replaced.
12) Things come up in life, if you need time off for something, please let myself and the players know in-thread for V/LA purposes. I will be flexible, but if you can't be here for a significant amount of time I will replace you.
13) Deadlines for each game day will be 14 days unless specified as otherwise.
14) In the event of a deadline ending without a player gaining a majority of votes, there will be a plurality lynch, with the person reaching the number of votes first being lynched if there is a tie.
15) Deadlines will only be extended if I need a number of replacements, or barring some other freak circumstances. Apart from that laziness, or anything else, will not result in a deadline extension.
16) *GAME SPECIFIC* If the Mafia Day-Goon shoots, all votes will be reset and three days will be added to the deadline.
> Other Information
17) This font is the color (#0000FF) I will use for modly purposes. All other colors are fair game as long as they are easily read by your other players/myself. I won't modkill you if you happen to use them, but try not to please.
18) I will try to post Vote Counts as often as possible. If you feel a vote count is needed, don’t hesitate to ask for one, and I’ll provide one at the next opportunity.
19) It's more than possible I've missed a rule or haven't completely covered something. Don't be a prick and try to exploit it, or I will punish you. If something is fuzzy for you, please ask!
19a) Do not base anything on "last online" tags or other information irrelevant to the game.
20) I reserve the right to add more, or modify existing rules at any time. If this happens, I will let everyone know in thread.
21) The penalty for faking violation of a rule will be the same as actually violating the rule.
22) Have fun!
