The Rules - they are long, but please read them!


>
The Basics

1)
Do not talk about other ongoing games.
2)
Do not quote/screenshot any communication you have with us, the moderator of the game. You may paraphrase things (such as cards you have, abilities and results) but direct quoting is not allowed.
3)
Do not use small/invisible text, steganography or advanced forms of coding/cryptography.
4)
Do not use any form of "trust tell" or let external influences into the game.
5)
Votes should be bolded or in vote tags, like so; VOTE: Quipla
6)
A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% +1 of the votes.
7)
The town may opt to 'no lynch' in lieu of lynching a player on any day. VOTE: No Lynch is the format for this. No lynching requires only 50% of the town's votes to go through, as opposed to a majority.
8)
Do not try to exploit any loopholes there may be in this rule-set. We reserve the right to add, remove or modify existing rules at any time.

>
Activity & Deadlines

1)
Day 1 deadline is set for 12 days, while every Day phase thereafter is set for 9 days.
2)
Nights will have a 48 hour deadline.
3)
Prods will be issued after 48 hours in a row without posting or under request from players. Multiple prods will probably lead to your replacement.
4)
In the event of a deadline ending without a player gaining a majority of votes, there will be no lynch.
5)
In the event of replacements or any other disturbances, we may grant a deadline extension. Laziness isn't an excuse though.

>
Game Mechanics

1)
This setup has 5 Mafia and 18 Townies.
2)
There are
two
identical 52-card decks of playing cards (104 cards total), each with a Suit and Rank power (208 powers total).
3)
There will be a pre-game draft to determine which cards each player get. Any card can be claimed by either alignment.
4)
Each card has a rank power and a suit power. Rank powers are typically active abilities (though not exclusively), and suit powers are typically modifiers and passive abilities (though not exclusively).
5)
At the start of each phase (Day and Night), the top card of the deck is revealed and becomes the "trump card" for that phase.
6)
Only powers that match either the rank or suit of the "trump card" will be active for this phase. For example; if the seven of spades is trumps for D1, only sevens and spades will be active powers on D1. Then, at the start of N1 the next card will be flipped and that card will be trumps for N1.
7)
Some abilities are Day only, but for the most part, the majority of potential abilities can be active during the Day or Night.
8)
Day phases will operate as modified Deep South with active abilities resolving in order of the time they are submitted.
9)
However, to prevent the start of Day phases from being a race to the trigger, Day's will have a 48-hour Morning period where any action submitted during this time will resolve simultaneously at the 48 hour mark of the day. From then on, actions submitted will resolve per timestamp.
10)
All actions are submitted privately to the mod.
11)
A player can use only one active ability per phase, though they may have multiple passive abilities in play and these will all automatically be active. However, duplicate passive abilities, like say, two Beloved/Vengeful/Bulletproof modifiers
will not
be stackable.
12)
Cop/Card Cop investigations, Fruit Vending, Neighbourising, Deck Alterations and Kill attempts will resolve immediately during the Day, while Blocking powers, Protection powers, Trackers and Watchers are considered Rest-Of-Day actions and will last for the rest of the Day as soon as they submitted. Trackers and Watchers will receive their results at the end of the Day.
13)
If a day-kill (or day-kills) occur, and the voting threshold is due to be lowered, it will not be lowered until 24 hours after the kill(s) have been resolved inthread.
14)
Player's cards will go in the discard pile upon death, as will expired trump cards.
15)
Night phases will operate as usual, using Natural Action Resolution (as will the Morning phase).
16)
Mafia have daytalk, and a factional kill that can be used once per Day/Night cycle, ie; scum can use their kill on D1 OR N1, and then again on D2 OR N2.



>
The Draft

1)
Once signups have been completed, every player in the game will send the moderator a whole number of at least 1.
2)
The lowest unique number submitted will be first in the draft, followed by the second lowest unique number and so on until all the unique numbers have been ordered. Then, the lowest number submitted twice will be next, followed by the next lowest double-ups etc. This continues for triple-ups and quadruple-ups and so on until the order is complete.
3)
Players who submit the same number as another player will have a diceroll to determine who gets placed higher.
4)
Once the draft order is set, it will be publicly revealed and every player will now simultaneously bid for
three
cards that they want.
5)
The first player will get their requests resolved first, and then the second player and so on.
6)
Remember, there are TWO of each card, and once a card has been selected twice, any later bids on that card will fail.
7)
It is possible that a player could receive no cards if they only bid on expired cards.
