Please, please,
please
follow this list. Any violation will be dealt with at my discretion, up to and including replacement or mod-kill.
- be kind to your fellow players, attack the play not the person making it
- familiarise yourself with the established site-wide
rules. Also, take note of the rule on
discussion of ongoing games.
- if your Role allows you to have private conversations with other players please post only in the provided QuickTopic, and nowhere else.
- after your death you may no longer speak, except for one allowed ‘Bah’ post within 20 posts of the announcement of your death, which may only contain the letter 'f', as many times as you like, uppercase or lowercase but not both, with no spaces.
- do not post any small, invisible or encrypted text
- and do not use
this color
(#FF8000), as it is what I’ll be using. Especially do not use it in an attempt to imitate me editing your post.
- on that note, don’t post anything I’ve privately sent you. That includes things that I didn’t really send you but you want it to look that way.
-
above all,
remember this is a game and have fun!
This game will begin with Day 1, and another Day will follow each Night until the end of the game. During the Day, all living players are allowed to discuss and vote. A Day may last no longer than 16 days. Day 1 will have the maximum length of time set while each subsequent Day will have a N+4 day deadline, where N is the number of players alive at the beginning of that Day. Extensions may be given if I find the circumstances to be reasonable.
Votes are placed in the thread by posting a bolded “vote” followed by a username or by using
VOTE: tags. The username need not be verbatim so long as it is clear which player you are voting for. You may remove your vote by posting a bolded “unvote” or by using
UNVOTE: tags. You do not have to unvote before you vote for another player, but it is greatly appreciated. I will endeavour to regularly post a vote count, as I see fit.
When a majority of the living players vote for the same player – ie. half the playerlist (rounded down) plus 1 - that player is lynched, they will be eliminated from the game and their role will be revealed. If a majority is not reached by the deadline then there will be a no lynch that day.
The time between the casting of the lynching vote and the announcement of Night is known as Twilight. During this time, all living players may talk, even the one to be lynched, however no votes or unvotes will be counted.
Note:
Please do not reveal endgame before me, it’s bad etiquette.
One may also place a bolded “no lynch” vote. When a majority of the living players vote No Lynch the game will progress immediately to night. If a deadline is reached without a majority vote a No Lynch will also occur.
Night will follow each Day until the end of the game. During the Night, any player who has a Night Action should send in their choice. If they fail to do so and their action is compulsory their choice will be randomised, otherwise it will be skipped. All nights will last approximately 48 hours.
If a player fails to post for 60 hours I will prod them via Private Message. If they fail to post in the 24 hours following their prod, they will be replaced. After the first prod, further prods will be issued for every 48 hours of inactivity and follow a ‘3 strikes and you’re out’ model. If, over the course of the game, you know of any upcoming times where you will be unable to post then please either announce your V/LA in the thread or notify me via Private Message. Declared absences are okay, but if it’s longer than a week or affecting gameplay I will most likely replace you.
I am your moderator. Feel free to contact me by in-thread post (@Mod) or PM if you have questions, comments, complaints or feedback. I reserve the right to modify these rules; however, if I do, I will notify you in thread.
Remember that I, albeit a delicious piece of pecan pie, am not infallible. If you spot an error in, say, a Vote Count, please contact me so that I can fix it. Be gentle with me, I’m delicate like a flower and am here to facilitate your enjoyment, not diminish it.
Also, I am a fire pokemon and if you watched the episode where charizard beats the heck out of magmar you would know that magma doesn't even hurt me so I can't die in a fire.
