Rules

1. All sitewide rules apply. Do not break them.
2. Do not quote any PMs received from the moderator in thread and any Private Topics unless explicitly allowed by me. You may paraphrase.
3. Do not contact other players about the game outside the game thread. This includes PMs and off-site communications.
4. Play to your win condition.
5. Do not use tiny text, cryptography or anything along those lines.
6. Do not bring provable randomness into the game. This includes dice tags.
7. Keep it civil. Do not flame or personally attack other players. Attack the play, not the player.
8. Do not impersonate the moderator.

This is my color. Don't use it.

8. No bah posts allowed.
9. Each day phase will last 14 days and each night phase will last 2 days.
10. Players who have not posted content for 48 hours will receive a prod. I will not accept prod dodges. After receiving a prod, a player has 24 hours to post before I will begin seeking a replacement. If a player receives three prods they will be replaced. I define content as something relevant to the game that engages with it or any player. It can be one sentence as long as it's relevant and engaged.
11. Players on V/LA will be exempt from the prod rules above.
12. Use vote tags or bold tags to place votes. As long as it can be reasonably interpeted as a vote I will accept it. Do not attempt to use this rule to engage in vote trickery. Examples of acceptable votes:
VOTE: SirCakez

Vote: SirCakez

Vote:

SirCakez
13. Players may vote to end the phase without an elimination. Do this by voting for a noelim (see below).
VOTE: No Elim
14. When a player has reached a majority of votes, that player will be eliminated and the phase will end.
15. Players may post after a majority has been reached until I announce the end of the phase.
16. A sample VT role PM is below:

Spoiler: ALL I HAVE FOR YOU IS A WORD - TENET. IT WILL OPEN THE RIGHT DOORS, SOME OF THE WRONG ONES TOO

This is a game of 26 players. 20 Tenet Operatives (the town) vs 6 Sator Operatives (the mafia).
The game is split into two public timestreams of 13 Operatives each. Operatives may only post and vote in their respective timestreams. Temporal posting violations will be issued warnings at first. If the incidents continue, stronger measures may be taken.

Spoiler: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE?

During pregame, the Sator Operatives may decide how to distribute themselves between the two timestreams. They may choose 4-2, 3-3, or 2-4. The town roles are then distributed based on this.

If all Sator Operatives are eliminated in one timesteam at any time night 2 and before, it will be announced in the respective thread.

Spoiler: YOU HAVE TO START LOOKING AT THE WORLD IN A NEW WAY

One timesteam runs forwards. This thread begins at the beginning of day 1 and runs like a normal game of Mafia - votes work normally.

The other timestream is inverted. This thread begins at the end of day 7 and runs towards day 1. In this game, all Operatives "begin" the day voting everyone else. An Operative is hammered in this timestream by a majority unvoting them. The flip then occurs at the beginning of day 7 and night "starts" at the end of night 6 and "ends" at the start of night 6.

Roles can shift or even completely change between the two timestreams. Operatives are informed what will occur to them if they invert.

When one timestream is hammered, it will lock, but the flip will not occur until the other timestream hammers as well. When there is a hammer, the deadline is reduced to 48 hours in the other thread and a warning is issued. Both flips will occur when both timestreams are hammered. Both nights run simultaneously.

In the Inverted timestream, a multi-hammer is not possible. If someone attempts to unvote/hammer multiple players in one post, only the first vote will be counted.

Sator Operatives have a factional nightkill in each timestream, until the temporal pincer. Roles can only target Operatives in their own timestream.

Spoiler: DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT. FEEL IT.

Both timestreams have a public Turnstile that may be used once per day. An Operative is voted to use this in the same manner as the elimination. When the Turnstile is hammered, the voted Operative is immediately inverted to the other timestream. The Operative being inverted must be one of the votes on the Turnstile.

To place a Turnstile vote, indicate so via a label before the name of the person you are voting. For example,
VOTE: Turnstile - SirCakez

If a vote has no label I will assume it is for an elimination. The Turnstiles must be hammered.

A timestream's Turnstile cannot be used a second time until the opposite Turnstile is used once, etc.

Spoiler: WE ALL BELIEVE WE'D RUN INTO THAT BURNING BUILDING. BUT UNTIL WE FEEL THAT HEAT, WE CAN NEVER KNOW

Both timestreams also have access to the Purple Room, a temporary neighborhood that opens each night. Each timestream may vote for an Operative to go to the Purple Room with an Operative from the other timestream in the same manner as voting for the elimination and Turnstiles. A new PT is created each night.

To place a Purple Room vote, indicate so via a label before the name of the person you are voting. For example,
VOTE: Purple Room - SirCakez

If a vote has no label I will assume it is for an elimination. The Purple Room works by hammer or plurality. If it is hammered it is locked in. If not then whoever has the most votes will be the one to enter it, with ties being broken by who got that number of votes first.

The nature of this Room, including who can access it, is ambiguous.

Spoiler: THIS IS WHERE OUR WORLDS COLLIDE

At day four (when the forwards timestream reaches the beginning of day four and the inverted timestream reaches the end of day four) the temporal pincer will occur. Both timestreams will merge into one main thread. From this point on, the elimination will take place in this thread. Sator Operatives will be reduced to one factional nightkill. Voting still works the same way (so inverted unvotes count as forwards votes). Roles will now be able to target Operatives in either timestream.

The separate timestreams and Turnstiles will remain open, as Operatives will still be able to invert and access the Purple Room each day.

Timestreams may move past where the opposite timestream started (i;e the inverted timestream could theoretically go to negative days).

Spoiler: WELCOME TO THE AFTERLIFE

As the timestreams move into the days already experienced by the opposing timestream, Operatives who died in those phases will return to life for one day only. Operatives return on the day matching the phase number they died in (so if someone died night 2 in the forwards timestream, they would return in day 2 of the inverted timestream). As these Operatives are only temporarily returned to life, they have limits upon them. They may not vote or use roles, and may only post 25 posts, each limited to 200 words. As well, they can only post in the timestream they are returning to - not the merged timestream.

Operatives eliminated in the merged timestream cannot return in this manner.

Operatives who died before the temporal pincer cannot access dead chat until after this "return" has concluded.

[SirCakez]

Currently awaiting final approval from Jingle and then we will get this show on the road!

[SirCakez]

The Sator Operatives have received their roles. They have 24 hours to decide distribution from this post.

[SirCakez]

Sator Operatives have locked in their choices. Role PMs will be sent shortly.

[SirCakez]

All role PMs are out! Players have 48 hours to confirm or be replaced.
The game will begin when 20/26 players confirm.
Currently 24/26 have confirmed.

[SirCakez]

With 20/26 confirmed, day 7 will end shortly!
