The Rules:
1.) Votes must use the <vote> tag and be at the start of a line. If we don’t see it, we wont count it.
2.) Unvoting is nice, but not necessary.
3.) Once a majority is reached, that person is lynched.
4.) If there is no majority at deadline, plurality lynches.
5.) Day 1 will have an approximated deadline based on when the game starts – it will be no less than a week. All following days will have a deadline of 7 days.
6.) Nights are instantaneous. All actions must be in before lynch.
7.) Do not talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows you to.
8.) When you die, you are dead. Stay that way.
9.) Do not edit posts. Do not use invisible text. Do not use small text.
10.) Do not quote any communication from the mod (that includes PMs) in the game thread.
11.) If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, please let me know. See rule 12.
12.) If you do not post for the equivalent of a full game day (at least 7 days long) you will be force replaced immediately at the end of the day. Further, you will be blacklisted from any future games using the BaM ruleset. Keep in mind that there are no replacements for flaking in a BaM ruleset game. Other circumstances requiring replacement are up to the mods discretion.
13.) If you notice mistakes aside from the vote count, PM me. Bold notification about vote count issues in the thread.
14.) Play to win.
15.) Play with the spirit of the game in mind.
15.a.) This means ASK before you do something you think I might question. Questions are good. Modkills are bad. See rule 12.
16.) Have fun. Remember that everyone playing are actually real people and treat them as such.
17.)
Red
18.) Night actions are determined using Natural Action Resolution
19.) Have some experience. BaM is NOT the right answer if you are new to mafia. See #12.
Game Specific Rules:
The following ability types exist in this game:
A.) This is an active ability.
P.) This a passive ability.
E.) This is an Energon ability (see below). You only have access to this if you've gathered Energon from a source. This may be an A, P or E ability.
S.) This is a Scrap ability (see below). You only have access to this if you've gathered Scrap from a source. This may be an A, P or E ability.
F.) This is a factional ability.
W.) This is your win condition.
You may use, unless otherwise noted, one A. ability during a cycle. A cycle is a day/night phase. So you CAN do something N1 and D2 for example, but not D1 and N1.
The town win condition is:
W.)
You win when all threats to Decepticon rule have been eliminated.
Duel Mechanic:
All players, unless noted, have the ability:
A.)Duel - You may post once per day "Duel: Player Name". At this point, only votes counting for you, the player you have dueled, or for neither will be counted. At the end of 48 hours or when one category has a majority OR deadline would activate, the category with the most votes wins the duel and all other parties are killed and the day ends. This does not count as using an active ability during the cycle and can not be blocked.
The Winner of a Duel has one of two options:
- Energon: Turn the body into Energon. This will allow them access to any E. abilities they possess.
- Scrap: Pilfer the body for usable Scrap. This will give them access to an S. ability based on the person killed.
Please PM the mod during the duel which of these choices (and any conditionals) you would like to pursue.
Voting
Because I hate counting votes so much, I'm going to try this sweet website: http://www.robandkriskris.com/votecounter/
So this is its rules:
Use the official VOTE: and UNVOTE: tags. For example, If you wanted to vote for Thesp, you would type VOTE: Thesp.
Avoid abbreviations. Spell out the player's name that you are voting for.
Don't use the word "Vote" with a colon unless you are actually voting. Even better, use the VOTE: tag!
Don't use the word "Unvote" in bold, unless you are actually unvoting.
Don't vote for multiple different people in the same post.
