The Rules:
General Rules:
1.
Don't be a jerk. This is rule #1 in every game, since games are supposed to be fun, and games are not fun when someone is being a jerk.
2.
Town players are not allowed to communicate outside the thread at any time. Mafia players may communicate with each other outside the thread during the pregame and night phases, but not during the day.
3.
Do not edit posts. Most of you cannot edit posts anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem.
4.
Once you are dead, you're dead. Like, completely devoid of life. And people who are completely devoid of life may not post in the thread.
5.
You may quote the role pms provided below if you are so inclined. You may not, however, quote any private communication with me. You're not even allowed to claim the time at which I sent you a pm.
6.
Do not post in small font, white text, spoiler tags, or any other form of hidden message. Breadcrumbs are not permitted, and revealing one will result in a modkill. You may not post in any language other than English.
7.
Play to win, etc.
8.
Do not reference ongoing games. You may reference games once they are completed, but not before. This includes linking to a game.
9.
Indigo
is the colour I'll use to post vote counts, edit things into other people's posts, etc. Do not impersonate me.
10.
If you have a question or concern, or if you think that I may have made an error, do not hesitate to ask in-topic or by pm. Be sure to bold requests directed at me so that I see them.
11.
If you choose to violate a rule, I will punish you. That might mean a modkill, which is the ending of your life by moi. I'll reveal your role in-topic, then change it to Neutral Survivor so that you automatically lose. If you are town, the day will end, but if you are mafia, the day will continue. I don't like having to modkill people, so try not to break the rules. I'm also pretty understanding, so don't freak out if you accidentally break a rule.
Voting, Lynching, and Deadlines:
12.
Votes must be bolded. For example,
Vote: Samwise Gamgee
. You may unvote by typing
Unvote
. Some mods require you to unvote before changing your vote, but I am a kind mod, and as a kind mod, I do not require you to unvote before changing your vote.
13.
Vote counts will be provided once per day, usually.
14.
Once a lynching majority has been reached, the day will end and the game will go into twilight. You may continue to talk during twilight until I get to locking the thread, but no votes or unvotes will be counted. Once I lock the thread, the game will go into the night phase.
15.
You may also vote for no lynch to happen on that day by typing
Vote: No lynch
. A no-lynch still requires a majority vote to go through.
16.
Some mods require only half a majority to lynch at deadline, but I am a cruel mod, and as a cruel mod, I still require a full majority to reach a lynch at deadline.
17.
If a majority has not been reached by the deadline, a no-lynch will occur, and the game will go into night. I don't care if your hammer vote came one minute after deadline, it doesn't count. If you don't like it, don't wait until the last minute.
18.
Each day will have strict three-week deadlines. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
Night Phase:
19.
Night lasts for 72 hours, but might be extended if I need a replacement.
20.
If you are going to be away for the duration of the night phase, you may send your night action in early. Night will not be extended for a player's absence.
Prodding and Stuff:
21.
If a player fails to post for 72 consecutive hours, he will be prodded. If that player does not post for another 48 hours after he's been prodded, he'll be replaced.
22.
Prods are available upon request. I'll still issue an official prod at the 72 hour mark, though.
23.
I like to mass-prod if I feel discussion is lacking. Don't be surprised to have your inbox filled by my spam.
24.
If you are going away, or if you have limited access to the site, notify me by pm or in-topic so that I know not to prod or replace you.
