1. General Rules
   
   
2. As always, the Forum Rules and Guidelines apply. I’m going to assume you’ve read these, so I’m not going to repeat them.
   (If you’re unsure whether something you’re going to do is breaking these rules, ask me beforehand.)
   
3. Don’t make any posts that may even remotely look mod communication. If I edit a post, I’ll sign it.
   
4. The only places outside of this thread you are permitted to talk about this game are in mod-provided quicktopics.
   
5. If you’re unsure whether something you post could count against the “playing to your wincon” rule, think about how you would perceive it if someone else made the same post.
   
6. Personal remarks and insults are not welcome at all. There is no problem with criticising how others play
   in this game
   , but as soon it goes beyond that line there will be one warning before I start force-replacing.
   
7. If someone is modkilled, their alignment will change to “neutral survivor” and there will be no chance of them winning the game, even if their original faction does so.
   
8. I reserve the right to change rules at any time, including while the game is ongoing, although there will be warning in-thread if this happens.
   
   
   
   Activity Rules
   
   
9. If a player does not post in the game thread for over 48 hours, they will be prodded. After this prod, they are given a 24 hour grace period to make a post – otherwise I will start searching for a replacement.
   
10. I will keep track of the number of prods given to each player. If a player has received three or more prods, I reserve the right to search for their replacement if their activity does not pick up.
    
11. Please post V/LA notices in-thread at least 24 hours in advance of them starting.
    
12. Game days will be at most 2 weeks long, unless a replacement is required within the last 48 hours of a game day.
    
13. Game nights will last 48 hours.
    
    
    
    Voting Rules
    
    
14. When making votes, please use the vote or bold tags. For a vote (or unvote) to be counted, it must be at the start of a new line.
    
15. Unvoting before voting again is not compulsory.
    
16. If one player receives a majority (at least 51%) of votes, they are that day’s lynch and any further voting/unvoting will be futile.
    (Players - including the lynchee - may still comment after majority has been reached and until the mod locks the thread.)
    
17. Dead players may make one “bah” post after their death. This may not contain any game relevant information. Once the mod has declared the game over, anybody may start talking in thread again.
    
    
    
    Setup Rules
    
    
18. This game has a day start.
    
19. As this is an open setup, all possible roles PMs are posted below.
    
20. There are 10 town players and 3 mafia.
    
21. The 10 town players may be split 3 ways: 4 cops and 6 doctors; 5 cops and 5 doctors; or 6 cops and 4 doctors. The mafia will be told which powers are in the game, but not who holds each power or which nights they work.
    
22. All cop and doctor powers will only work on one randomly assigned night (between 1 and 5).
    (There may be doubles of any night/power combo.)
    
23. Cops and doctors will flip only as such; their night will not be revealed until endgame.
    
24. For a more detailed version, look at Diffusion of Power on the wiki.
