You may not quote any private mod communication, nor may you pretend to do so. This includes but is not limited to your Role PM and anything posted in a PT by the mod. Paraphrasing is okay. If you are unsure on whether something has been sufficiently paraphrased, please err on the side of caution and run it by me first.
You may directly quote from the game thread into any PT you have been provided for the game (such as the scum thread), but you may not quote from the PT into the main thread. You may, however, use your PT to draft a post with the intent to post it in the main thread, so long as you do not directly quote it when making the transition.
Discussing this game outside of moderator-provided methods of communication is forbidden. This includes contacting any other player via PM, Skype, or other means to discuss anything game related.
Using provable randomness is forbidden. Saying you rolled a dice is fine; using dice tags is not.
If you have the ability to edit your posts, please refrain from doing so.
Do not attempt to impersonate the mod.
Activity Rules
I will prod after 48 hours of inactivity. You will then have 24 hours to post in-thread before I begin searching for a replacement.
Upon meeting the requirements for a third prod I will begin searching for a replacement.
Naked prod dodges will not reset the timer. You must include some kind of game-related content with your post.
Weekend hours are weighted half as much as weekday hours for activity purposes. This will not affect the deadline timer.
Prod timers will not reset overnight.
Please PM me when announcing V/LA as an extra precaution in case I miss it. If you have regular V/LA periods please notify me of this pregame.
Game Rules
Day phases will be 2 weeks (14 days) long, and night phases will be 2 days (48 hours) long.
Extensions may be granted in the cases of replacements and site downtime. They will not be granted just because you can’t reach a consensus.
To vote, please use the vote or bold tags (VOTE: Player or
VOTE: Player
).
Votes that misspell or have other minor errors will still be counted as a vote so long as I understand who it is meant for.
Lynches are based off simple majority (half the living players + 1, rounded down) voting to lynch someone. If no majority is reached by deadline, or a simple majority votes no lynch, then a no lynch will occur.
Twilight begins when a lynch occurs, and lasts until I lock the thread for the flip. During this time, you may still post regardless of who was lynched. However, no votes or unvotes will be counted in this time.
This game is based on the the Forest Fire Open Setup. Each role is named something different, but they are all functionally the same. There are two factions in this game. Town and Mafia.
The full setup and role PMs are as follows:
7v2
2 Misleaders (Arsonists) - Mafia
6 Wandering Souls (Trees) - Town
1 Intervener (Firefighter) - Town
Defined role: Lingering Spirit (Treestump) - Any Wandering Soul lynched will turn into a Lingering Soul. They will be considered Dead for voting purposes.
Welcome to Micro 745: Beyond Death.
Misleader
Let them walk for eternity.
You are a damned soul, forced to walk the earth courting souls to a similar fate as your own. Unknown to all other souls you are able to take a pleasing form and whisper words of ruin. As a
Misleader
you may attempt to lead a soul astray each night... Be warned! There is an
Intervener
that may keep souls on the right path. The Intervener can be led astray, but only if they focus on the needs of others over oneself.
Misery loves company, and you are not alone. Among the world of the living there is another Misleader, who goes by the name [PLAYER]. Together you make up the
Mafia
.
Abilities:
* Factional communication: During the night phase you may talk with your partner here in your Private Thread.
* Whisper: Each night phase, one of you or your partner may prime a target to be misled.
* Call Followers: If your faction has previously whispered to a player, you can lead them to the afterlife. Doing so will take all those successfully whispered to
Beyond Death
and remove them from the game. You may not Call Followers and Whisper on the same night.
Win Condition:
* You win when only
Mafia
aligned players are left alive, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Welcome to Micro 745: Beyond Death.
Intervener
Save those that wish to be saved.
You are a natural force of the world that seeks to protect the world of the living from the influence of the afterlife. As an
Intervener
you understand that two
Misleaders
have appeared to sway Wandering Souls with whispers of doom. As an
Intervener
you may visit a Soul each night and protect them from being spoken to. However, you are vulnerable to the same influence regular Souls are, and should you choose not to protect yourself, you may end up led astray in the end.
When the
Misleaders
call for their followers, there is nothing that can be done to save their victims.
Abilities:
* Intervene: Each night phase you may protect one player from listening to a

Welcome to Micro 745: Beyond Death.
Wandering Soul
Be careful that your first steps are not your last.
Full of curiousity of the world around them you walk the living world seeking out new experiences. As a
Wandering Soul
you know nothing of the afterlife or what will come next, and your desire for adventure may lead you down a dangerous path. As a soul you are not alone. Will you seek refuge in harmony, lament upon unfinished business, or break through and see the world that leads Beyond Death? Choose your path.
Abilities:
* Lingering Spirit: If you are lynched you will retain your ability to speak in the game thread, but you will lose your vote and will no longer count towards the votes required for a lynch. Dying by any other means will override this ability, and you will pass Beyond Death.
North is clearly trying to make it look like he's not paying attention to what he's writing to make us think he's town. I can't think of any other explination whatsoever for someone making any kind of mistake ever.

The (sarcastic) implication is that town can't make errors.
People have accused me before of mixing 'scum' and 'town making mistakes' up too much.
Oh, good to learn from your mistakes

I wondered if he missed that rc is replacing out. We should see how long he sits on it for lol.

I pretty sure you have to wait 48 hours to prod a missing person.
He only 'disappeared' 8 hours ago.

Maybe they all dig on cowbell jokes.
Yeah, I did miss it, but RVS, so whatever. I need time to think up a new witty remark for my replacement vote...

Dunno, doc. It's probably down to something from my childhood.
