-Adhere to all site rules.
-Always play to win.
-Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not.
-Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
-Do not quote any out of game communication regarding this game - this includes your role PM, any other PMs I may send you, and posts from private threads.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "
@mod
" in your post or PM me.

This
(#8080FF) is my color. You can use it, if you want.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.
-Each day phase will last for 12 days, with night phases lasting 48 hours.
-Players are allowed one non-game relevant "bah" post after their deaths. Otherwise, do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-As a general principle, whenever moderator action is required I will attempt to make the decision that has the least impact on the natural flow of gameplay. For example, force replacing instead of modkilling whenever possible.
-Have fun!
Voting

bold
or in VOTE: vote tags, with vote tags being preferable.
-Votes in spoilers will not be counted.
-Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
-Unvotes are not necessary before revoting.
-Lynches will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no lynch.
-Voting to end the day in a no-lynch requires only 50% of players, not >50%.
-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.
Activity
-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 48 hours. Players who go 48 hours without posting will be prodded.
-If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if I have to prod you 3 or more times, you will be replaced at my own discretion.

Miscellaneous
-Roles were design to attempt to fit people's personalities or notable elements of their character.
-If you do not send me an action for the night, I will assume that you are not taking one.
-Factional actions and other actions may not be performed by the same player simultaneously.
-Any voting based abilities would be disabled in XyLo.
6. Research everything about the character you admire.
It takes knowledge, dedication and practice to become someone other than who you are right now. It is easier if you have an example to work toward. You’ll need to do some serious investigation to uncover clues that will teach you how to be similar.
Read autobiographies, biographies, stories, and articles about or by the person you admire. Also, check out fan and personal websites.
Observe them on video and pay attention to the qualities that you want to take on, such as appearance and style, how they interact and communicate, how they behave under pressure and how they appear to others. Are they confident, respectful, friendly, positive, compassionate, or powerful?
Try to meet the person who inspires you. If you can chat with the person you want to be at an event, conference, or other location, even better. Try to get to know who they really are, how they got where they are, and whether they might have any advice.

Hi this is friendly Mastin 2
I am your friendly neighborhood helping hand. First off good work on busting scum. Only two more to go if this a typical game. I have two powers ,the first one is I can neighbor with a person. That person will know I am town. Second I can write to everyone as long as the post is at least 200 words. Other than that I am pretty much vanilla. I don't think I am much threat to scum if somehow they figure my real player name.
I was thinking about neighboring with Red as he is conftown, however he probably will be dead in the morning. I think that Golden is town unless he is scum early bussing his buddy. This seems unlikely. We need to go back and reread Gamma's reactions to the remaining players to see if we can find any connection to any of the players. We have a big advantage at this point and we should make sure that we keep it as long as we can
Also I think players should not claim. I am doing it because I can hide behind a cloud of enmity. We don't want scum to easily figure out our power roles. Good luck and Go Town.

It is easier to enhance your own qualities and skills than to take on someone else’s. You are special and deserve to be the best “you” that you can be. Work on making yourself who you want to be first before attempting to become someone else. You never know, you could be happy living life as yourself.
Remember that even your heroes and the people you admire are human and cannot be perfect. They all have problems, insecurities and failures just like you.
Don’t force qualities so much that they become undesirable, such as self-confidence that becomes arrogance or being so tough that you are seen as aggressive and overly “macho”.

You tend to think "outside the box" or perhaps, more accurately, "outside the thread". Your efforts at coming up with unique ways to crumb and ways to communicate securely are part of the reason why cryptography is banned today.
Because of your efforts at private communication,
once per day you may add someone into a neighborhood with you.
In addition, while you are alive,
all private threads that would otherwise only be open during the night will remain open during the day.
Finally,
rules banning cryptography do not apply to you
– they still apply to everyone else, however.

You love solving games as town, but your hatred of rolling scum is widely known. You're often easily sorted by your level of interest and amount of posts in a game, so

Welcome, The Worlds Cutest. You are

You begin the game as
Chara
. As Chara you are generally obvious when town and have a history of not being mislynched, so
it will take one more vote than normal to lynch you.
Each night, however, you may choose to go from being
Chara
to being
Not Chara
. As Not Chara, people who come to kill you will still be looking for Chara,
so you will survive one nightkill attempt against you.
Once you have chosen to be Not Chara, you will remain that way for the rest of the game (you can't go back to being Chara, i.e. it will no longer take one more vote than normal to lynch you).

each night you may investigate a player to determine their role.
You will receive results in the form of that player's role PM.

mathdino thought so when we were balancing the setup (he actually thought it was the most powerful town role), i kind of disagreed. i think it's as useful as the person using it makes it, and really has an upper limit of usefulness of, at best, conftowning yourself and just having good reads. as real massive hydras have shown, having tons of eyes to look at something doesn't necessarily mean that you always get crystal clear excellent reads. while there
were
people in the hydra with really good reads, there was also a ton of distraction and people who disagreed.
