Game mechanics
Day
Days begin with a deadline of
240 hours
(10 days).
Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
The deadline is reached.
A lynch (or no-lynch) is achieved.
A town-aligned player is modkilled.
Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be lynched and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
You may vote not to lynch by voting for “No lynch”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a lynch.
If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no lynch.
I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
twilight
. Players, including the lynchee, may continue to post during this period.
Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.
Night
Nights will last
48 hours
, or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
Mafia night abilities should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
Town night abilities should be submitted via PM.
Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.
Activity requirements
Players who do not confirm within
48 hours
of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
Players who do not post for
48 hours
in a single game-day will incur a prod.
Players who do not post for
24 hours
following a prod will be replaced.
Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
At my discretion, excessive “prod-dodging” may result in a mod warning and subsequently in disregard of future dodges.
If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
in thread
and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
7 days
of consecutive day time will be replaced.
These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.
Sample role PM
At least one player will receive the role of
Vanilla Townie
and the following role PM:

Role PMs have been sent out. All players have (expired on 2020-05-16 22:20:00) to confirm.
The game will begin once 11/13 players have confirmed.

This is officially a wagon now. Anyone who isn't serious may flee like children now.
