GENERAL RULES
1) All sitewide rules apply. Read them
here
2) Please treat this game as a commitment and do your best to participate actively.
3) You may not discuss this game anywhere outside the game thread unless specifically allowed by your role PM. In such case, a PT will be provided and you may not discuss your game outside the game thread and/or the PT.
4) Be civil and treat other players with respect--attack the case, not the person. Mafia is a heated game, but I will interfere if anyone resorts to excessive insults, personal attacks, and bullying. There is a zero-tolerance policy against offensive comments or slurs based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.
5)
This
is my color for this game. Do not use it.
6) Quoting or pretending to quote your role PM, PTs, or private communications with the mod is strictly forbidden. Loose paraphrasing is permitted, although run it past me first when in doubt.
7) Punishment for breaking any of the rules here listed, or exploiting any loopholes may include a private or public warning, force replacement, modkill, or even blacklisting (depending on the seriousness of the offence).
8) I am not perfect, and vote counts may not be either. If you find and discrepancies, please let me know in thread by using
@Mod
9) If you have outside information that influences your knowledge of the game, are aware of someone else having outside information, or have any reason to believe that the game has been compromised, it is your responsibility to inform the mod via PM immediately. I will love you for your honesty.
10) Please also PM me for any other concerns not listed above.
Voting/Lynching
1) For your vote or unvote to be counted, it must be completely bolded, ie
VOTE: shaddowez BBC code to do so is:
2) Votes for misspellings or acronyms of players' names (such as VOTE: Playrname or VOTE: PN) are valid as long as the player being voted for is clear. You are not required to unvote before changing your vote. However, votes that are behind spoiler tags, in small or invisible text, or otherwise concealed are invalid.
3) You may vote for a No Lynch using the voting parameters listed above.
4) A lynch will occur when 50%+1 of the votes are cast for the same player; a No Lynch will occur wen 50% of the votes are cast for that option. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight.
5) You may continue talking after a lynch or deadline has elapsed until the mod posts to end the day. After that, you may not post even if the mod forgets to lock the thread.
6) I will try to post a vote count at least every weekday. Vote counts can be requested at any time.
Activity and Day/Night Phases
1) Days will have a deadline of (2) two weeks. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances, and will never exceed one (1) week of the total length of the day phase. Because of the Upcoming Holidays three additional days will be added to the timer for day one. This means the Day one deadline will be seventeen days to allocate for: New Year's Eve and New Years Day. Any other extensions because of holidays will be announced in public thread.
2) Night phases will last for forty eight (48) hours.
3) If a replacement is needed during a night phase, I will extend the night deadline until some time after a replacement is found, regardless of whether that slot has a night action.
4) In order for night actions to be accepted, they must be PMd to the mod or posted in bold in scum PTs before the deadline is up. If a player does not select one, he or she will default to "no action."
5) Players will be prodded after forty-eight hours without posting. They may also request prods on other players so long that player has not posted for a reasonable amount of time. All prods will be announced in thread.
6) Players who do not respond to a (non-player-requested) prod within twenty-four hours or need to be prodded too often will be replaced at the discretion of the mod.
7) If you will be unable to post for over forty-eight hours, inform the mod by PM or in the thread of when you'll be V/LA. Assuming the V/LA period is of reasonable length, you will be exempt from prods during that time. All V/LA notifications will be made public by the mod.*
8) Once you're dead, you may no longer post in thread. No 'bah' posts.
