As always, the Forum Rules and Guidelines apply. I’m going to assume you’ve read these, so I’m not going to repeat them.
(If you’re unsure whether something you’re going to do is breaking these rules, ask me beforehand.)
Don’t make any posts that may even remotely look like mod communication. If I edit a post, I’ll sign it.
The only places outside of this thread you are permitted to talk about this game are in mod-provided quicktopics.
Don’t quote private mod communication – this includes but is not limited to role PMs, night actions and anything posted in a quicktopic. You may
paraphrase
these things, however.
If you’re unsure whether something you post could count against the “playing to your wincon” rule, think about how you would perceive it if someone else made the same post.
Personal remarks and insults are not welcome at all. There is no problem with criticising how others play
in this game
, but as soon it goes beyond that line there will be one warning before I start force-replacing.
If someone is modkilled, their alignment will change to “neutral survivor” and there will be no chance of them winning the game, even if their original faction does so.
I reserve the right to change rules at any time, including while the game is ongoing, although there will be warning in-thread if this happens.
Activity Rules
If a player does not post in the game thread for over 48 hours, they will be prodded. After this prod, they are given a 24 hour grace period to make a post – otherwise I will start searching for a replacement.
I will keep track of the number of prods given to each player. If a player has received three or more prods, I reserve the right to search for their replacement if their activity does not pick up.
Game days will be at most 10 days long, unless a replacement is required within the last 48 hours of a game day.
Game nights will last 48 hours.
Voting Rules
When making votes, please use the vote or bold tags. On the other hand, if it looks vaguely like a vote, I'll count it.
Unvoting before voting again is not compulsory.
If one player receives a majority (at least 51%) of votes, they are that day’s lynch and any further voting/unvoting will be futile.
(Players - including the lynchee - may still comment after majority has been reached and until the mod locks the thread.)
If a majority of votes is not reached before deadline, there will be no lynch for that day.
Dead players may make one “bah” post after their death. This may not contain any game relevant information. Once the mod has declared the game over, anybody may start talking in thread again.
Setup Rules
This game has an Open Setup; setup details will be posted here and the game moderator will answer any reasonable, basic questions players may have about its design.
This game has a day start.
All actions will be resolved using the Natural Action Resolution system.
All flavor is provided purely for entertainment purposes only and has no bearing or relation to the game.
Any group permitted to communicate privately throughout the game will do so in Private Threads and will be able to do so during the Day
and
Night.
Setup Design
1 Town Cop
3 Vanilla Townies
3 Town Millers
1 Mafia Godfather
1 Mafia Goon
Spoiler: Role PMs
Welcome, [Player], you are a
Town Cop
.
Each night phase, you may target one player in the game to investigate them. At the end of the Night, you will receive a result of "Town" or "Mafia".
You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
If a Cop investigates you, they will receive a result of "Town".
You share a Private Topic with your fellow scum; [names].
You have a factional night-kill meaning that each night one of you may night-kill a player.
You win if at least one member of your group is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same).
