The 'Strategy Guide' is law, for all intensive and practical purposes.
Anything posted in the game topic by myself or SaintKerrigan is law.
If we make a mistake, follow the directions in Rule 4.
If there is a problem or you have a question, send a PM to myself or SaintKerrigan.
If something will benefit the entire game, post it directly in-topic in this format:
@mod: the vote count is wrong, lulz
.
Be civil at all times. If someone is breaking this rule, follow the directions in Rule 4.
Using or attempting to use loopholes in the 'Strategy Guide' to backhandedly meet your win condition is frowned upon with a colon, dash, and left parenthesis. Oh, and probably a force-replace or modkill.
No using super-small or invisible text, using codes, using the structure of the role PM to your advantage, revealing your scum partners, or any of the other kind of jackassery that may or may not be running through your demented little mind at this very moment.
No editing or deleting your posts for ANY reason. This is a modkillable offense.
Stipulations in your own personal 'Game Instructions' supersede the 'Strategy Guide'. If there is a conflict between the two, follow your 'Game Instructions' PM. If you have any questions about this, follow the directions in Rule 4.
Do not communicate about the game outside of this thread unless your character's 'Game Instructions' PM allows you to.
When you reach a state of
Game Over
, stay dead. If you feel very strongly, you are allowed one "bah" post, which may consist of exactly the following: "bah, go [faction]!" You are also allowed one of the accompanying assortment of smiley faces.
Anything above and beyond this will result in something exceedingly evil happening to your faction. Also, for good measure, you will be revived, modkilled, and autolossed.
Hot Pink
is the color that SaintKerrigan and I will use throughout the game to post vote counts and such. Please don't use it.
Any of the 'Strategy Guide' may be changed; more may be added, some may be taken out. This is all at the discretion of myself and SaintKerrigan. You will be informed when there is a change, of course, but it is your responsibility to be current on each and every aspect of the 'Strategy Guide.'
Gameplay
All votes and unvotes should be in this format:
Vote: ReaperCharlie
.
Unvoting is appreciated (it might make our lives easier), but it's not absolutely necessary.
A majority of votes for an individual will result in them being 'Destroyed' and sent to
Game Over
.
Players may vote to no-lynch if they wish, and if a majority of votes is reached, a no-lynch will occur.
Quoting of any PM from the mod (aside from your 'Game Instructions PM'), or any private communications (QTs) is NOT allowed.
The deadline for each Day will be three weeks.
The deadline for each Night will be three days.
Twilight starts immediately after the lynch threshold has been reached.
Night begins once myself or SaintKerrigan posts the lynch flavor.
AFK
If you are going to be V/LA for longer than a week at any time, please replace out. We have a healthy replacement list so don't feel like you are going to be letting everyone down.
We expect a pretty good activity level from everyone involved in this game. Please try to post every day.
Anyone not posting for 48 hours (except in cases of Nightfall) will be prodded. If you don't respond for 48 hours after that, you will be considered to have flaked out, and will be summarily replaced.
Anyone who has been prodded twice, for two separate instances of inactivity, will be immediately replaced upon a third offense.
Replacement is irrevocable, even if the player does come back and wants to play.
If you need to go inactive for more than 48 hours, or need to replace out for any reason, follow Rule 4 under 'Basics'. Flaking out is lame, and may result in blacklisting from any future games I/he/we run.
Special Rules
If you pretend to break a rule, it will count as you having broken a rule. In other words, don't push us; we get kinda trigger happy.
This game is limited/delayed reveal. Character name will be revealed, but you are left to speculate at their alignment, and the true powers they might have possessed.
Have fun!
As a reminder, the 'Strategy Guide' may be added to, modified, or subtracted from at any time at the discretion of myself or SaintKerrigan.

ReaperCharlie has been modkilled for abuse of power and is replaced by the backup mod, effective immediately. The backup mod is immediately modkilled for abuse of power and ReaperCharlie subsequently resumes being the mod, also effective immediately.
In other news, I'm SaintKerrigan, your friendly neighborhood backup mod. My job is to take over ReaperCharlie's duties should he fail to accomplish them in a timely manner, help with keeping an eye on you guys in general, and answer questions if he's not around.
One more thing: Just because I look like a nice guy doesn't mean I won't cajole Reaper into modkilling your ass if you cause an inordinate amount of trouble.
With the serious stuff out of the way...have fun, guys!
