Aristophanes has volunteered to back-up mod this game. If something has happened to me or I am otherwise missing, contact him for help.
RULES:
1) Remember that this is a game, and that we are here to have fun.
2) Votes shall either be written in
bold font
, in the form of
Vote: Socrates
, or using the
VOTE: tag, like this:
VOTE: Socrates. Unvotes are not required.
3) Once a player has received a majority of votes, they are immediately lynched and the day will end when I next get to the thread. Twilight posting is allowed, including the lynchee.
4) Game days will have a non-negotiable deadline of two weeks (14 days), though I will consider an extension if replacements become a problem. Nights will last approximately 48 hours.
5) At deadline, if no player has received a majority of votes, a no lynch will occur.
6) Dead men tell no tales. Do not post in the game thread once you have been killed. Bah posts are acceptable.
7) Players are expected to post at least once every 48 hours, or they will be prodded. If a player has needed prodding too many times, or does not respond to a prod, then I will replace them. I am also willing to prod upon request, within reason.
8) Do not, at any time, directly quote any sort of private messages between yourself and the Mod. Violation of this rule will result in immediate modkill.
9) Discussion of this game outside of the designated areas is prohibited and will also result in immediate Modkill.
10) If you will be V/LA or otherwise unavailable, please let me know.
11) Please confirm that you are present and have read the rules by disregarding the confirmation instruction in your role PM and instead PM me the result of pressing your palm flat against your keyboard.
12) If you wish to alert to me in thread, please make sure to bold the statement so that I see it.
13) While asking questions and pointing out errors are welcome, I reserve the right to refuse to answer any or all questions without further explanation.
14) You all know how to play mafia, and you all should know not to try to subvert the game rules through use of such things as cypher keys or trust tells and the like. Cheating is cheating, and we both know it, so don't get cute. If you think something is missing from this rules list that should be here, point it out to me so I might add it.
And the golden rule:
A certain level of thick skin is required to play this game, but that does not mean that personal abuse or harassment will be tolerated. If you feel another player has gone too far, contact me, Aristophanes, or a listmod to discuss the issue.
