Ruleset:
Framework stolen from BBMolla, who stole it from Tierce, who stole it from Magua. It has a good lineage.
General
:
Site-wide rules apply at all times.
Have fun.
Play to win.
Do not edit or delete your posts. If you encounter a problem, bold a request for me to fix it and I will.
Do not quote communications outside the game thread (role PMs, quicktopics, etc.) in the game thread. Paraphrasing is allowed. If in doubt, ask.
Do not use cryptography, invisible text, tiny text, or any other form of text manipulation.
Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming to use dice and voting accordingly is acceptable—publically throwing the dice is not.
Do not impersonate the moderator.
Gold
is reserved for me.
Pretending to break a rule is the same thing as breaking a rule.
No personal attacks, no insults, no making fun of diseases/conditions/handicaps. Swearing is cool, calling someone “fucking autistic” is not.
Breaking any of these rules will result in a warning, forcible replacement, or modkill, depending on the severity and context of the infraction.
I reserve the right to change the rules. I will notify you in thread if this is necessary.
Activity:
If a player goes 24 hours with posting, I will prod them. Prods will be announced in thread.
If a player does not respond to the prod within 24 hours, receives multiple prods during the same game day, or is prodded three times overall, they will be forcibly replaced.
If you will be V/LA for any period of time, simply alert me in thread via bold text.
Each game day will have a deadline of 7 days.
Deadlines will never fall on a weekend.
In the event that the deadline passes before a lynch is reached, a no lynch will occur.
Each night will have a deadline of 24 hours.
If a player has a night action and does not submit their action before the deadline, they will perform no action.
I may extend deadlines at my discretion, and will alert you in thread should this be necessary.
Voting:
Votes must be at the beginning of a new line and bolded or voted, in the format of
Vote: Desperado
or VOTE: Desperado
Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as I can deduce your meaning.
Unvoting is not necessary.
Once a majority decision is reached, it is final.
You may post during twilight until I officially lock the thread.
When you are dead, that’s it. No bah posts.
Game-Specific Rules and Mechanics
This game contains four pre-determined, majority-town neighborhoods that will act as "teams" within the context of the town as a whole.
These neighborhoods, and any other private topic that may exist, will remain open at all times.
The distribution of scum in each neighborhood was randomized.
Each neighborhood will have a set of goals that they must work to achieve as a group.
Once a neighborhood has completed three of the available tasks, an extremely powerful ability will be activated and at their disposal.
These tasks are as follows:
- Vote on and correctly predict the day's lynch within 24 hours of the day phase beginning
- Vote on and correctly predict a night kill
- Successfully lynch scum with the whole neighborhood on the wagon
- Successfully lynch scum with neighborhood members in the first and last positions on the wagon
- Successfully navigate an entire day phase without a member of the neighborhood receiving any votes
There may or may not be additional means of triggering these powers.
Each neighborhood's ability (and their current progress towards it) will remain private.
Flips will occur 12 hours after a lynch has been reached.

Thank you for your patience! Given the mechanic I thought it prudent to wait for all players to have an opportunity to confirm so I appreciate you all bearing with me.
If you weren't already aware, the link to your neighborhood PT can be found next to the "affiliation" line of your role PM. Sorry for any potential confusion not knowing this may have caused.
The game will begin at 12pm EST, which is a little less than 10 hours from now. Good luck!

The deadline countdown was accidentally set to 7pm EST so i have extended the deadline one hour to accommodate that mistake. The current vote count and and countdown are correct.

I've been called in tonight and am extending the night deadline 6 hours so that I don't feel obligated to post the flip at work. Thank you for your patience.
