RULES (please, please, please, read these)
- 1. This is a semi-open setup.
2. The preferred voting method is to put vote tags around the player's name, but I will still accept the old method of bolding the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: AntiheroorVote: Antihero. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you want to change your vote, it would be cool if you unvoted first, but you don't have to. You may also VOTE: No Lynch, unvoted the same way as before.
3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.
4. Days 1 has an 18 day deadline, and subsequent days have 14 day deadlines. I reserve the right to extend this deadline, but play like I won't (because I probably won't).
5. No posting after you're dead. Period. None. That also means no posting in twilight if you're the one who was lynched (everyone else can talk). Any postmortem posts will be deleted. When you die, I'll give you a link to the dead QT and you can vent your frustrations there.
6. Don't be a (too much of a) jackass. Please, let's keep the lynching and killing of each other from becoming personal.
7. You may post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other thandark red. That color is mine.
8. Unless you're the moderator (that's me), please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.
9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread. This one is a big deal to me, just don't do it. I don't care if you're dead in that game or you think it won't affect the outcome of that game; no making references to ongoing games (vague or otherwise).
10. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.
10a. No private communication without my explicit permission. PERIOD. You can talk in the QT's I give you, that's it.
11. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 48 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread. If you do not tell me to do so, neither will I check your signature.) If you are prodded, you will have 48 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 48 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.
12. I am not God. If I make any mistakes whatsoever, please let me know.
12a. That said, I am God. I have the last word. That means if I eject you or modkill you, DON'T MAKE ANY MORE POSTS IN THIS THREAD. I don't care if you agree with my decision or not. If you want to rage about it, write me a PM or take it up with a list mod.
13. Please don't fish for modkills (just one of my personal pet peeves). I'm going to be really annoyed if I see someone saying "OMG, Player A made one word dark red, MODKILLZZ."
14. I'd love for everyone to play the game to completion, but if you get hopelessly behind, get sick, or fall into a giant chasm of doom, please feel free to request replacement. I'm not going to blacklist you, or talk about you behind your back, or give you a glare every time I see you.
15. Speaking of blacklists, I don't have one of those, and I intend on keeping it that way.
16. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason: This is a game. HAVE FUN! Enjoy! And good luck!
