RULES (inspired by the rule sets of Faraday, Maestro, and Nexus):
General Behavioral Expectations:
• All site-wide rules are to be followed. They can be found
here. Rules
here are also in effect. Important points are:
o Personal attacks on any basis are prohibited. Excessive vulgarity will also be stomped upon. When in doubt, err on the side of being civil and respectful.
o Play to your win condition.
Game Play, Voting, Lynching, and Night Actions:
• Do not quote mod communications anywhere in the thread.
so do not use it for any purposes, particularly impersonating us.
• Claiming to be an anti-town player sharing an alignment with another player in the game is a modkillable offense regardless of one's actual alignment or whether the statement was intended to be taken seriously.
• When placing a vote, it is not necessary to unvote first or to put your vote on a new line. However, it would be appreciated if you submitted votes in bold like this:
VOTE: The Betting Pool
or like this:
VOTE: The Betting Pool. We will accept votes so long as we can tell the intended target from the abbreviation used.
• Lynches (or decisions to no-lynch) require a majority of votes.
• Discussion may continue in twilight.
• Once you are killed, do not post in the game thread. This includes ‘Bah!’ posts.
• Night actions may be PMed to us or posted in bold in the appropriate QTs. If you know you will be V/LA during the night phase, you may send in a conditional night action in advance.
Activity Parameters and Mod Communication:
• Prods will be sent out by PM to players who have not posted within the past 48 hours. Players receiving prods have 24 hours to post before we will start looking for a replacement. If the day ends before you can respond in-thread, you must PM us within the allotted time.
• Three prods in one game day phase or four prods overall will result in our replacing you.
• Day phases will last two weeks. Night phases will last two days.
• While you are welcome to post about any issues that arise in the thread (use bold to get our attention, please) you may also PM us concerning any problems. Use your best judgment here, and we will endeavor to do the same. This also applies to issues with us/our modding or other players.
• If you go on V/LA, please PM us.
• Alterations to these rules will be announced in-thread and PMed to all players in the event they become necessary either due to unforeseen circumstances or our own oversights.
Miscellaneous or Game-Specific Topics:
•
HYDRAs:
Please do your utmost to avoid alt slips. If you do mispost, please quote the post as the hydra account ASAP.
Violations of these rules will result in a warning for a first offense and a potential forced-replacement or modkill for subsequent offenses. We reserve the right to skip the warning for particularly willful or egregious violations.
