Day 2: Post #1121

[Datisi]

rules

shamelessly stolen

inspired by plotinus' and schadd_'s rulesets.

the tl;dr:

~ day 1: 10 days. days 2+: 8 days. nights: 2 days.
~ majority yeets.
~ 36 hour before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
~ if you want to replace out, pm me.
~ flavour has no bearing on the setup or player alignments.
~ don't be a dick.

the basics:

~ follow all site rules.
~ my mod colour is

teal

. you can use it if you want, just don't attempt to impersonate me.
~ you may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads i have created for this purpose. you may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
~

if you wish to replace out, pm me, do not request replacement in thread.

do not discuss your reasons for replacing out publically. do not threaten to replace out or tell other players to replace out. if you have any concerns that a player should be replaced, pm me.
~ do not quote pm's from the mod at all, either real or fabricated. this includes specific timestamps. paraphrasing is acceptable.
~

don’t be a dick.

this is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. attack the play not the player. if your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. if you do not stop, i will tell you to stop. if you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced.
~

flavour is just flavour, and has no bearing on the setup or player alignments.

don't use it to make arguments.
~ play to win. seriously claiming scum with another player is against the rules. i will judge what counts as serious - don't toe the line.
~ if you have any questions about the rules, feel free to pm me.

days and voting:

~ day 1 lasts up to 10 real-life days. days 2+ last up to 8 real-life days.
~ extensions may or may not be granted if there are replacements, or if the circumstances call for it (for example, if the site was experiencing issues).
~ votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: datisi or

vote: datisi

. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. unvotes are nice but not required. type [

v]datisi[

/v] to vote and [

uv]datisi[

/uv] to unvote.
~ you can use nicknames when voting, as long as it is clear who you're referring to.
~ if i think it’s a vote, it’s a vote.
~ days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to yeet somebody.
~ if a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no yeet, the day will end without a yeet. at evens, 50% is sufficient for no yeet.
~ twilight begins when a majority is reached and lasts until i lock the thread. you're still alive until i flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
~ it takes (100% of living players + 1) votes to yeet the moderator.

activity and v/la:

~ you must post at least once every 36 hours or i will prod you. you then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or i will replace you. if you come back before i find a replacement, you can stay.
~ if i have to prod you for the fourth time, i will automatically start searching for a replacement.
~ if you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start pm or you will be replaced during the night.
~ players can request me to prod somebody early. this will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod.
~ if you need to be absent for longer than 36 hours, you should declare

v/la

in bold in the thread like this: [

b]

@mod: I will be v/la until thursday

[

/b]. while you are v/la, you will be nudged once every 60 hours. two nudges equals one prod. if you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of v/la status, you will be replaced.
~ a naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. to avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; datisi is still scum."

nights and night actions:

~ nights last 48 hours.
~ the night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
~ you may submit actions via pm. if you have a scum pt, a mason pt, or a notes pt, you may also submit your actions there. if the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. you can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
~ if i don't hear from you about your night actions, i'll pm you 24 hours before the deadline. this doesn't count as a prod. if i still don't hear from you, you will take no action.

miscellaneous:

~ let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. you may draft posts in your notes pt if the posts are clearly meant to be posted in the main thread. you may talk about your notes pt. you may not directly quote from your notes pt, and you may not use it to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
~ provable randomness is against the rules. saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org screenshots is not.
~ no hard to read / extremely small text. cryptography is forbidden. breadcrumbing is okay.
~ using scripts to alter or hide another player's posts is not allowed.
~ the only allowed media is embedded content, or links to uneditable content. for example, you are not allowed to link vocaroos and pastebins in the thread.
~ very big images and big chunks of non-game-related text are allowed, as long as they are spoiled. if you post them without a spoiler, i will edit a spoiler in.
~ the mod may make mistakes. minor errors (such as a mistake in the vote count) can be pointed out in-thread. for bigger errors, please pm me.
~ i reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as i see fit. you will be notified if this happens.

setup information:

~ this is a theme game. however, it will follow all normal rules.
~ any and all private topics will be open at all times.
~ the mafia is able to multitask by default.
~ sample vanilla townie role pm:

game flavour warning:

this game's flavour will feature images georgebailey and i made on the Artbreeder website. it's a generative adversarial network that is able to combine many images of multiple different things into one.

no NSFW imagery will be shown.

however, images generated in such way often include distorted rooms, environments, animals, and/or humans.

a lot of those are uncanny and can make people feel some discomfort. because of that, all flavour in this game (other than images in posts #0 of game threads) will be hidden under spoilers.

[Datisi]

flavour

"datisi, i'm sorry, but i cannot pass this game as a normal."

"what-- but-- why?"

callforjudgement sighed. they weren't getting paid enough for this. "datisi, four mafia members is way too many for a micro game, a combined jester unjester isn't even a normal role, and to top it all off, you want to include a..." they glanced back at the paper datisi had given them. "a town one-shot bulletproof vengeful?"

datisi crossed his arms in defeat. he didn't know what to do. he'd already used all his pocket money for bribing the passing of his recent town-gunsmith-and-three-mafia-doctors mini normal, and arguing against callforjudgement was impossible.

he looked over at isis, who was sitting in the corner playing games on her phone. it was easy to see she wouldn't help him out in the argument, as he could tell by her expression that she was thanking the gods she wasn't the primary reviewer.

however, datisi was determined to figure out a way to get this game running. he thought of all the time and effort he'd put in consistently pestering georgebailey into creating artbreeder images for him to use as flavour. he knew it would be a shame for all that effort to go to waste because of minor details such as "game balance" and "the normal rules and guidelines".

suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

"what if i run this game as a theme?"

callforjudgement looked at him, their eyes giving away just the slightest hint of fear and worry.

"if i were to run this game as a theme... i wouldn't have to abide by the spirit of normal games, correct?"

"...that is correct, yes." callforjudgement was not able to lie. "if you were to run this game as a theme, you would not have to follow the spirit of the normal ruleset. if you decide to do that instead, i can help you out. but i really don't think--"

"awesome," datisi interrupted them, "then i'm cutting off the reviewing of this as a normal and getting it reviewed as a theme instead. thank you for agreeing to still be my reviewer." the smile that accompanied that sentence made callforjudgement slightly uncomfortable.

suddenly in a much better mood, datisi turned to where isis was sitting. "hey isis, can i still count on you to be my theme game rev--"

he did not get to finish that sentence, as isis had already bolted out the door.

Don't ask questions, just sheep me!

[ta vera]

ok.

VOTE: Moongrass

[Andresvmb]

VOTE: Iconeum

Hey all. It’s good to be here.

[ta vera]

hi! i'm happy i'm here too.

[Something_Smart]

lmao

[UneveN]

VOTE: VFP

[ta vera]

VOTE: VFP

why?

[UneveN]

VOTE: VFP

why?

RVS is a vehicle to get us somewhere and 'don't ask questions' works opposite to that somewhere, which was more to go off of than 'greetings tell' in the case of Andresvmb.

[Something_Smart]

'greetings tell'

Oh man, that's a phrase I haven't heard in a while.

[UneveN]

VOTE: VFP

why?

Also, it is nice to see you immediately channeling energy towards

~solving

though maybe an easy one due to naked vote.

[ta vera]

VOTE: VFP

why?

that wasn't a serious command. no one is going to not ask questions because they told us to.

[ta vera]

VOTE: VFP

not much solving yet. just responding to things that i see without much direction.

[UneveN]

that wasn't a serious command. no one is going to not ask questions because they told us to.

And yet you questioned my vote and not the one you were asked not to question.

[ta vera]

i did respond. i followed the wagon because wagons are good. i didn't have any questions i wanted to ask. the reason i asked about your vote was because it was completely naked. i understood what VFP was doing.

[UneveN]

wagons are good

Please expand on this as applied to the RVS wagon here.

[UneveN]

Please expand on this as applied to the RVS wagon here.

As in, why is the wagon on moonlight good?

[UneveN]

moonlight

*Moongrass

[ta vera]

wagons are good

Please expand on this as applied to the RVS wagon here.

wagons are very good in rvs because they push the game out of rvs.

[ta vera]

Please expand on this as applied to the RVS wagon here.

As in, why is the wagon on moonlight good?

it had nothing to do with the target of the wagon unless vfp had some greater reason for targeting them.
