Rules On what is Allowable
1) This is only a game, and I expect all players to remain somewhat civil. I will not tolerate excessive abuse upon freedom of speech: obscenity, profanity, libel, and fighting words will not be tolerated, and if you push it, the Moderator reserves the right to have you replaced. In other words, be respectful to all players, as well as myself.
2) Do not talk outside of this thread, unless your role PM explicitly says you may do so, and even then, you are restricted to night-time for all out-of-thread conversation and may only communicate through your quicktopic thread.
3) Do not edit or delete your posts in any way, shape, or form. Once you have posted something, it is there for good, unless I find reason to alter or delete your post myself.
4) Do not quote your role PMs in any way, shape, or form. This is also true for night conversations. You may, however, paraphrase your PM at any time, but if you go too far, the Moderator reserves the right to either replace you or to modkill you should the situation warrant.
5) Do not post in invisible text, excessively small text, or use [ color = black ] tags.
6) You may request mod-prods, replacements, clarifications, and vote counts from me directly in the thread, but please precede such with a bolded
Mod: So-and-so
, so that I will be able to answer you as promptly as possible.
7) Once I have officially posted that you are dead, then you are dead. Do not post any relevant information to the game whatsoever. You are, however, allowed a typical “Bah!” post of some sort.
8) You may talk during twilight about anything you wish.
9) Do not question my decisions in-thread: if you have a problem with me, take it to Private Messages. You may, of course, post problems you see with my votecounts, but that’s about as far as I’ll allow things.
10) Try to post at least once every 48 hours. Treat the game as a committment. If you go inactive, you will be replaced.
11) This is a game! Play hard, play fair, and enjoy yourselves.
Technical Rules
1) This game is a day start. Day 1 will start when everyone has confirmed by PM.
2) Each day the town must decide on a lynch. Once a majority has been reached on a player, that player will be lynched, regardless of any subsequent unvoting.
3) Votes must be in the form
Vote: Player
otherwise they won't be counted. Players must
Unvote
when switching their votes.
4) The Day will begin with a set deadline. This may be extended, if discussion is particularily good, or due to extenuating circumstances. You may ask for an extension at any time in-thread or via PM, if you think it's warranted.
5) If the deadline is reached and there is no majority, the player with the most votes will be lynched.
6) If two or more players are tied for the most votes when a deadline hits, the player who reached that number of votes first shall be lynched.
7) Nights will last a maximum of 3 real-time days. If you have not sent me a night-choice by that time (should you have one), I will randomize your choice.
8) If you feel that you may not be able to post in-thread for a period of 72 hours or longer, please say so in-thread or send me a PM as warning. If I find it necessary, I will have you replaced, but I would much rather keep all players who sign up for any of my games.
9) Any and all of these rules are subject to change at my discretion.
