tris and CFJ can view this, tris as backup mod and CFJ as setup designer. This way if I fall off the face of the earth I have sufficient backup

posting this here so, barring any changes, I can just rand the setup with this list

[Gamma Emerald]

Now, the reason I want to start this work rn, which is a baseline of VC flavor videos

Source artists: GaMetal, FamilyJules, ToxicxEternity, anything else like them maybe

used in sign ups/pregame

"Pursuit: Cornered" from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (GaMetal)
"Necromancer" from Castle Crashers feat. SixteenInMono and FamilyJules (ToxicxEternity)

used D1

”Surprise Attack (Star Wolf)” from Star Fox 2 (GaMetal)
"Liyue Battle" from Genshin Impact (FamilyJules)
"Together, We Ride!" from Fire Emblem series (GaMetal)
"Rules of Nature" from Metal Gear Rising feat. Jason Charles Miller (FamilyJules)
"Magmoor Caverns" from Metroid Prime (ToxicxEternity)
"Ultimate Koopa" from Super Mario 64 (GaMetal)

used D2

richaadeb megalovania
"Hope Never Dies [Co Theme - Brenner]" from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (GaMetal)

used D3

used D4

unused yet

"Gruntilda Battle" from Bajo-Kazooie feat. Grant Kirkhope (FamilyJules)

"One Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy 7 (ToxicxEternity)

the idea is to try and have a balanced coverage of my favorite VG metal cover artists. These lists are so tris can do VCs sometimes without having to always do the work of finding flavors.

(I was gonna put a mod links spot for postgame use but I decided better of it. If I have it I’ll add the section in the postgame)

[Isis]

I didn't know you had a backup mod, I generally don't need to be added if there's a backup mod, but it's ok.

I noticed the setup as written uses British spellings, as a minor modslip equity point you may want to switch to American spellings so that you don't confirm that someone is claiming based on their role PM rather than the wiki (which is all American spellings)

You can delete this post after reading it if you're trying to setup a organized set of opening posts for modding.

[Gamma Emerald]

(I feel like Plotinus’ rule set style is a good fit for my aims, since I want clear and effective rules that handle a wide variety of situations without getting too deep into things. I’m also snatching some portions from other mods that also used his rules as a baseline.)

---

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   #008000
   ; avoid using it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - 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. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself yeeted if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - 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. Saying something has to do with an ongoing game and leaving it at that is fine, though excessive use of this may result in a warning.
   
5. Images and GIFs
   - I have no qualms with them being posted, but if there’s sensitive content or if it’s especially large I request you put it in a spoiler= tag.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is awful to read, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay. Shared reminiscence as breadcrumbing blurs the line, so avoid it if possible.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - All day phases will last 10 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements or other reasonable circumstances that necessitate an extension. Not using discussion time efficiently is not a valid reason.
    
12. Activity and Replacing Out
    - You must post at least once every 48 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. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. 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 were prodded and 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.
    When it comes to replacing out by choice, please PM me requesting to do so. You may replace back in if I have not found a suitable replacement, but if I believe you are abusing this I may reject it. Do not constantly request to replace out and then change your mind, or you will end up blacklisted from future games I mod.
    
13. Angleshooting
    - angleshooting may not be disciplined, but it is inadvised. I will attempt to police any hostile interactions based on the in-thread contents and not the contents of the Role PMs of the offenders. Please also avoid speculating about the legitimacy of IRL circumstances, especially in regards to replacing out. However, if the replace out speculation happens to involve game events, it will likely be left alone, as due to the game-bending nature of replace outs some leniency must be allowed in this regard.
    
14. Vacation/Limited Access
    - If you need to be absent for longer than this, 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 72 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 7 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
15. Prodging
    - 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; xxxx is still scum."
    
16. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
17. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Gamma Emerald or
    Vote: Gamma Emerald
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v] Gamma Emerald[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv] Gamma Emerald[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
18. Yeeting
    - 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 to no yeet/abstain, the day will end with an abstention from yeeting. At evens, 50% is sufficient for an abstain.
    
19. The L-word.
    - While players are still allowed to use the L-word, in order to make it easier to interface with player posts if the need arises, please refrain from using it. I will not be enforcing this rule, it just exists to remind you. Suitable alternatives are eliminate, yeet, fade, etc. Similar L-words like launch are okay. If you’re unaware of the issue in particular, review this topic.
    
20. 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.
    
21. Night
    - Night lasts at least 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.
    
22. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM or any PT where your role is meant to be known to others in it (scum PT or a personal PT). 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.
    
23. Reminders
    - 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.
    
24. Personal PTs
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. Releasing these postgame is your prerogative, and to enable this all personal PTs will have mod rights given to the one who asked for it. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT 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.
    
25. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

As a final note, rules here are subject to change as needed.

---

(This looks mostly okay. I might have to adjust some parts because some things I’ve written have to do with things that have happened in ongoings. The key things that relate to ongoings are my rules on shared reminiscence as breadcrumbing and about replace out speculation that deals with in-thread content. If needed I will remove the critical text and add it in once the relevant game(s) end.
Outside of that, I think this is good. It covers the issues on replacing out and the L-word effectively, and it also includes my personal rule of “buyer beware” in regards to angleshooting. I’ve also added in some good extra talk on certain applications of rules.)

[Gamma Emerald]

Spelling should be fixed

Also feel free to tell me if something in my opening or rules post should be changed

[Gamma Emerald]

Once Isis or CFJ gives a pass to my new ruleset I’ll go ahead and make the game thread

[Isis]

Your rule 4 is -slightly- less restrictive than site rules for ongoing games. As the locksticky thread explains, as a game moderator you have the ability to say that you will relax constraints for players to discuss

your game

in other places, but a game moderator does not have the freedom to relax constraints on

other moderator's games

being discussed within the game thread. It's only slightly less restrictive than site rules, but you should still pull it into alignment. Micc's templating for "I have a read, but I can't say exactly why because of ongoing games" or "I have a read, but I can't explain it to you because of the ongoing games rule" is agnostic to whether one particular game is informing the read or maybe several because "games" is plural and not singular.
If you simply change it from singular to plural, it's in alignment with site rules and it's fine.
I'm fascinated by shared reminiscent breadcrumbing remark. It's a good rule and I might steal it.
Please remove "similar L-words like launch" or think about modifying it. There's a contingent of players phoneposting "lunch" onsite because a phone autocorrects "lynch" to "lunch", and the resulting word isn't logical, it only leads the reader to think "this person typed lynch and left it uncorrected form phone autocorrect". At least one other listmod is concerned about how appropriate that usage is. "Launch" itself I'm somewhat more unsure about and don't want to go on record about. Yeet and fade are excellent.

---

This should be good. I also will probably have a game info portion, just mentioning encryptor-less daytalk and stating the game is normal, and follows normals rules and guidelines. One thing I might want to be explicit about is how that relates to multiball since the last Micro Normal I modded in the Implosion age of the Normal rules had rampant SK speculation.

[Isis]

Serial Killers are not considered Normal in Micro setups these days. It's fine to make an explicit post about that if you'd like.

Most moderators mention whether scum are naturally multitasking as the thing that goes along with whether PTs have encryptorless daytalk.

Anyway those are small potatos, the ruleset is a /pass

[Gamma Emerald]

kewl
Though I’ll be launching the game thread tomorrow since I need to get some sleep

[callforjudgement]

I think Isis has made a ruling here already, but I agree that rhe rules in #10 are acceptable (although as Isis stated, you should mention whether scum have multitasking). There should also be a sample VT PM available publicly (this doesn't necessarily have to be in your rules post itself, this is just a reminder to put it in your game info section).

[Gamma Emerald]

I thought the multitasking (and daytalk) things only needed to be made public if it existed without the affiliated role. Maybe I haven’t kept up on changes as well as I thought?

[Isis]

cfj and I both mean you're either saying "the mafia have multitasking independent of having the Multitasking modifier" or "the mafia do not have multitasking by default". You don't need to guarantee that the multitasking modifier wasn't used in setup design.

[Gamma Emerald]

I thought saying nothing was equivalent to the latter statement though

[Isis]

Oh, it is, it's just something mods mess up often enough that it's better for it to be explicit so it's not ambiguous whether there's actually mod error.

It's pretty similar to how if a Gunsmith is roleblocked, not sending them any results PM at all would technically be correct, but it's a much better practice to send investigatives "you receive no result" so they aren't wondering if it's possible you just forgot about the results PM.

[Gamma Emerald]

Tbh I kinda wanna put the game info in post 0 instead of post 1
There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?

[callforjudgement]

It doesn't really matter how you organise the first few posts (although it's very helpful to make it easy to see what the flips were after the game is over), as long as the game number is clear from either post 0 or the thread title, and it's easy to determine which players are currently alive.

[Gamma Emerald]

Btw I can’t really say this to them but I apologize to my players who have to wait for me for probably another night

[Gamma Emerald]

waow I have had a rough few days
I still need to actually rand roles lol

    - 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 to no yeet/abstain, the day will end with an abstention from yeeting. At evens, 50% is sufficient for an abstain.
    
20. The L-word.
    - While players are still allowed to use the L-word, in order to make it easier to interface with player posts if the need arises, please refrain from using it. I will not be enforcing this rule, it just exists to remind you. Suitable alternatives are eliminate, yeet, fade, etc. If you’re unaware of the issue in particular, review this topic.
    
21. 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.
    
22. Night
    - Night lasts at least 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.
    
23. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM or any PT where your role is meant to be known to others in it (scum PT or a personal PT). 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.
    
24. Reminders
    - 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.
    
25. Personal PTs
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. Releasing these postgame is your prerogative, and to enable this all personal PTs will have mod rights given to the one who asked for it. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT 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.
    
26. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

As a final note, rules here are subject to change as needed.

With what happened with (person we all know but probably shouldn't name) I feel like I need to have explicit guidelines on how I will handle trust tells and things that resemble them. I feel like I could do more to be exact about the problem I am addressing. I think I have enough people looking over my shoulder here that this should be a good way to test-run this sort of disclosure on that sort of rule.
