If you wish to play or spectate, please check out the application here. The application will close March 24th at 6pm PST, with the game set to start that following weekend.


{GENERAL RULES}


{01}
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming or spamming.

{02}
This is a game. The secondary objective is to win.

{03}
If you feel the mods have made a mistake, please let us know so we can fix it.

{04}
We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.

{05}
Survivor of the Fittest is ANONYMOUS. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's identity. If you are talking with other people outside of this forum, you must not state or imply that you are playing in this game. If you are talking with other players on this forum, try not to say anything that would allow people to easily ID you. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden unless otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.

{06}
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above. Outside resources are not allowed on challenges unless specifically stated.

{07}
Private communication with players outside of your tribe or eliminated players is strictly prohibited unless otherwise specified. Any player found in violation of this rule will be penalized.

{08}
Any and all posting about this game outside the provided forums unless SPECIFICALLY STATED is against the rules.

{09a}
The posting of Private Messages (whether via text (paraphrasing is fine) or via image) in a public forum or in Private Messages to other players is explicitly disallowed. You may, however, post them in your confessional. You are also prohibited from taking a screenshot of private messages and showing them to other players. Forwarding is not allowed. Quoting is not allowed, nor is pretending to quote. You may paraphrase.

{09b}
Don't show other players screenshots of anything in your confessional, any challenge scores, or any game information they do not already have access to. The one exception to this is that showing any items or powers you possess or are pretending to possess is allowed -- but still don't take a screenshot of your confessional to do this as that would be verifiable.

{10}
The moderators may discipline any player that breaks the rules however we see fit, depending on the specific situation. We also reserve the right to implement new rules if needed.

{11}
Although this game takes place on an off-site forum, that forum is considered an exclave of Mafiascum.net. All MS conduct rules will apply.

{GAME MECHANICS}


{12a}
PMs are only to be used for communication within your tribe unless otherwise specified.

{12b}
You are free to create group PMs with players that you may PM. Once a member in a group PM is eliminated, you must not use it again and must create a new group PM with people who are still in the game. You may not use the BCC feature.

Immunity Challenges


{13}
Every round will possess an Immunity Challenge. Winners of the Immunity Challenge will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out at the Tribal Council. Note that giving away the Immunity Necklace is allowed, but only for the first 12 hours of a Tribal Council, and once passed it cannot be passed again.

{14}
The outcomes of all Challenges are final, except in case of incorrect tallying by the mods.

{15}
We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods can't cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.

Tribal Council

{16}
Tribal Councils are where players are eliminated. Before the merge, only the losing tribe or tribes will visit Tribal Council, and will vote one player off. After the merge, all remaining players will go to Tribal Council, including immunity challenge winners.

{17a}
Tribal Councils will last roughly 24 hours from the end of the challenge. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, they will receive a selfvote. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.

{17b}
Challenge and tribal council deadlines may be shortened or extended to get back to a regular schedule.

{18}
The results of Tribal Councils will not be posted before the deadline.

{19}
The modification of votes after they have been submitted is allowed. Players are able to change their votes as many times as they want until the deadline expires, but please do so in a new post.

{20}
If a player has failed to vote more than once, the mods may choose to eliminate that player at their discretion.

{21}
The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final, except in case of incorrect tallying by the mods.

Breaking Ties


{22a}
In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote. Reward items may not be used in this revote, but any reward items that have already been played WILL remain in play.

{22b}
If a majority is not met in the revote, all tied players and immune players become instantly immune and the remaining players will draw rocks for elimination. Note that this applies even if, say, a three-way tie becomes a two-way tie.

{22c}
Revotes will always take 24 hours and will not end early.

Firemaking


{23}
It is known that at the final four, the immunity winner will select one other player to be safe and to enter the final 3 with them, and the remaining two players will have to compete in a challenge in order to see who will join them in the final three.

Twists


{24}
Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.

{COVID-19}


{25}
Due to the current situation, we are adding some extra rules to this game to help players in need during this time.

{26}
If you need an extension at any point in the game please inform a Moderator and we will do our best to accommodate you, no questions asked. Please inform us at the earliest possible time, but please don't abuse this rule. If the request comes in less than 2 hours before results (whether challenge or TC) we may not be able to accommodate this. Likewise, if you know you're going to be away from the game for longer than 24 hours please inform us so we can plan ahead.

{27}
If for whatever reason you cannot do a challenge please inform us and we will attempt to find a suitable alternative or stand in if we can accommodate. We ask that you contact the mods directly so that we can plan accordingly.

{28}
Please understand that this virus will also cause some issues for the moderators too, we may need to make some changes to the game if something comes up (such as a website going down). Please be patient with us during this time.

Much like the Hermit Crab commandeers shells to live in, so too is this HC getting this thread into his egosearch.

Also, you should all fill out an application!

My comod has surprisingly not bumped the thread asking you to sign up yet, so I guess it falls onto me to provide a dose of cuteness.

Hello friends,

We've decided to extend signups and push the game start date by one week due to several reasons. We hope you are excited to play or spectate as we are to put on this game for you all, and that it will be worth the wait.

Signups will end at 6pm PDT on the 24th. The game will start the following Friday at 6pm PDT on the 26th. We look forward to starting with you all then.

Thank you!

Here's a happy wolf.
