1. The game is a day start.
2. Day shall last two weeks.
3. Scum may use their quicktopic during the day as well as night.
4. During the day, you may place votes on a person using this format:
Vote: Player-X.
4a. Unvotes are not required, but are very helpful.
5. When a player receives more than half of the total votes at any point during the day, that player is lynched.
6. Once a player is lynched, twilight begins.
7. If the deadline has passed and no one has received more than half the total votes, no one will be lynched.
8. If a player has not posted within 72 hours, they will be prodded.
8a. Failure to reply to the prod in thread (or by PM during the night) in 24 hours will result in replacement of that player.
8b. If a player has been prodded three times and is due for another prod, they will be automatically replaced.
8c. If a player continually skirts the prodding threshold with insubstantial antiprod posts, they may be prodded anyway at the mod's discretion. These prods count toward the three-prod threshold mentioned in Article I, Section 8b.
8d. If a player has been absent long enough to be replaced, but has yet to be prodded, the 24-hour safety window will automatically be waived.
Article II: Twilight
1. Votes and unvotes will not be counted during twilight.
2. The lynchee may continue to talk during this time, as well as any other living player.
3. Once the lynch scene has been posted, the mod will lock the thread and night will commence.
Article III: Night
1. Night will last 72 hours.
2. During the night, scum may communicate using their provided QuickTopic.
3. During the night, any roles or factions with night abilities may choose to use them by PM-ing the mod (see the Role PM for role-specific instructions).
3a. If the role or faction chooses not to submit an action, a PM to the mod stating such is preferred.
4. Once the deadline for night has passed, all actions not received will count as a No Action.
Article IV: Capital Offenses
1. Do not quote your Role PM (with one exception: the Arkons may quote their Role PMs in their designated quicktopic).
2. Do not use invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
3. If you have the power to edit your posts, don't.
4. Do not insult other players personally.
5. Do not test the mod by experimenting to see what he considers a personal insult.
6.
Dark Red
is the mod's color. Don't use it.
7. Do not talk about ongoing games.
8. Do not quote any QuickTopics you may have access to, unless the mod has given you permission.
9. If any of these offenses in Article IV are committed, the first action taken will be a warning against the player.
10. Any further offenses committed will result in either a sterner warning, forced replacement, or a modkill, to be determined at the mod's discretion.
11. Modkill means you are removed from the game and autolossed.
Article V: Miscellaneous
1. The mod has the final say on any issue.
1a. However, the mod can make mistakes. If he does, please point them out either in a PM or in thread.
2. If something is missing from this ruleset, do not exploit the loophole. Instead, point it out to the mod so it can be corrected. Taking advantage of a loophole will result in a modkill.
3. If you need any help, or have questions, or just want to talk in general, feel free to PM the mod.
3a. This does not mean the mod is obligated to answer any of your questions.
4. In some games, dead people can talk. For the most part, this doesn't happen to be one of them.
5. The mod reserves the right to edit this ruleset as he deems necessary.
6. Flavor is simply flavor. Speculate about it at your own peril.
Article VI: Flavor
1. All players have "flavor names" that represent them in flavor scenes.
2. For the purposes of this game, the term "Vanilla Townie" is replaced by either of the words "SOB Operative" and "Colonist", depending on whether the player character is an SOB Operative or a Colonist in terms of flavor. Regardless, both terms are the same thing as "Vanilla Townie".
3. "Town" is represented as "Human" in this game, as "Mafia" is represented as "Arkon". This is for flavor purposes only; you do not have to adopt this nomenclature if you don't want to.
3a. If any alignments other than those two appear in the game, the ruleset will be updated to reflect what name they are represented by.
4. In the flavor, the term "lynch" will be replaced by other names for terminating someone's life. However, votes made using terms other than that described in Article I will not be counted.
Article VII: The Most Important Rule of All
1. Remember, this is a game. Don't forget to have fun!

Looking good. Since this game is clearly heavy on flavor, and we've all got these game names, I'm thinking of getting into flavor myself and actually use those names. Don't be surprised if I suddenly start talking about Chuck Norris - how could I resist?
All right, all the Role PMs have been sent. Every. Fucking. One. /thankyougodhallelujahfuckinjesus
Since I have spent almost this entire day, as well as last night, writing flavor, I will start the game when I either have sixteen of eighteen confirms, or Friday, October 15, 2010, 10:00 a.m. CST arrives, whichever occurs
LATER!!!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some sleep to recuperate.

Oh dear. AFAIK the hydra account hasn't been activated yet. If you sent the role PM to it, I don't have it yet. Uh, whenever you see this, send it to me ASAP, since I'll be dedicated poster until the account is activated.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
