You pledge:
1. To remember that this is a game and to have fun, be respectful, and try not to take anything personally.
2. To remember that when you signed up for this game, you made a commitment to it. Please let the mod and the other players know if you're leaving for an extended period of time. If you cannot commit, it's okay to ask for replacement, but please don't make me hunt you down!
3. To try to keep a posting level of at least every 48 hours.
4. To play to the spirit of the game. This means not quoting role PMs or private communication with the moderator in any way. Paraphrasing for things like role claiming is okay. The way your role PM is phrased should not be a method of scumhunting.
5. To not communicate outside of this topic with other players unless your role PM specifically allows it.
6. To keep talk about this game and other ongoing games in their respective game threads.
7. To not use purple-colored text. The mod has claimed it as her color.
8. To vote in the form of
Vote: Player.
You are allowed to shorten their name as long as it is still clear who you are talking about. Unvotes are not neccessary when changing your vote.
9. To get my attention by saying something such as
Mod: The vote count is incorrect.
in your post, or PMing me.
10. To send any due night actions by the posted deadline. If I don't receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline, you will forfeit your actions. If you have a night action, but do not want to perform it during a particular night phase, you may instead submit a "No Action" PM.
11. To recognize that during twilight, the lynched player (if there is one) cannot talk during Twilight , and that no further votes and unvotes will count.
12. To recognize the fact that when you're dead, you're dead, and that it's not your place to affect the game any further. You're allowed to make a brief bah post if you feel called to do so.
13. To not edit posts or use any mod priveleges you may have in this game.
I pledge:
1. To keep the game active by prodding players who go without posting for more than 48 hours, and replacing any players that go without posting for more than 96 hours without letting me know of their leave, exceptions made for weekends and holidays. I will also prod upon reasonable request.
2. To try my best to not make game-damaging mistakes. If I do make a mistake, please correct me in thread. For serious mistakes that may affect the outcome of the game, please PM me.
3. To post links to any QTs, role PMs, night actions, and other information that players may be wondering about. If this is an issue, please let me know.
4. Set 2 week day deadlines in order to keep games active and productive. I may extend the deadline upon requests, or as a result of replacements or any other problems that may occur.
5. Handle voting procedures at the end of the deadline in the following way: If a lynch concensus is not reached by deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority at deadline. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the endgame (any situation where mislynching will cause a town loss) only lynches with a regular majority will occur.
6. Handle lynches before deadline in the following way: Whenever a player has reached a simple majority of votes (s)he will be considered lynched and the game will roll over into twilight. Twilight will end when I post a death scene and lock the topic.
7. To have night deadlines last a minimum of 72 hours, which may be extended as a result of replacements or any other situations.
8. To keep vote counts regular, preferably once a day or once per page, whichever is sooner. They will be in their own post and I will try to keep them near the top of the page.
9. To keep the first post updated and accurate whenever possible.
10. To remember that being a Mod is a very important commitment and put my modding duties as a priority.
11. To reserve the right to use my best judgement in a situation not covered by these rules.
This is the Vanilla Townie Role PM. It is common knowledge and not to be used as a scumhunting tool.

VANILLA TOWNIE
You're just a townie. The mafia have infiltrated your town, and you're determined to stop them before it's too late. You have no special powers. You win when all threats to the town are eliminated, regardless of whether you survive to the end or not.
