RULESET:
Traditional rules
(originally stolen from bluesoul and modified heavily.):
1.) Have fun. This is not an option.
2.) The mod is always right. Always. Yes, even then. However, if you think there’s some confusion, and it absolutely can’t wait until the end of the game, send me a PM; do not break my game because you died when you didn’t think you should’ve.
3.) Days will continue until one of three things happen: a player is lynched, No Lynch gets a majority of the votes, or a deadline passes.
4.) Voting must be done in the format
Vote: Shea
. Don't worry about unvoting, I don't care.
5.) I will post a vote count every now and then. I am not infallible in this aspect (”But Sir, didn’t you say-- *cough, choke, shudder, die*”) and if you think the vote count is off, say so and I will double check it.
6.) Do NOT quote your role PMs, OR any other form of communication from me unless it is something I have already posted on this thread. This is a modkillable offense.
7.) Do not discuss the game outside of the game thread unless your role allows you to, in which case you may only do it during the specified times with the specified players. This is a modkillable offense.
8.) You’re required to post regularly. I prod after 3 days of inactivity and replace after 2 days of no response to the prod. This rule is flexible if you PM me in advance. Please be mindful, I will not be checking the V/LA thread regularly. That's not my job. If you have posted there, I expect you to send me a PM as well.
9.) Once you’re dead, you’re no longer subject to the previous rule. As a matter of fact, once you’re dead, stop posting. I will permit one simple “bah” post and nothing more. Please make sure that there is absolutely NO game relevant information in this post.
Yes, even “go scum” is game relevant. Don’t do it.
10) In the event of a modkill, it will end the day.
Quirky Shea Rules:
1.)My no-lynch policy (stolen from coron): No lynch only requires there to be enough people voting it that the remaining group could not successfully lynch. For example, with 12 alive, it would be 7 to lynch but only 6 to no lynch because the remaining 6 could not lynch, and with 11 it would be 6 to lynch and 6 to no lynch.
2.) If a deadline passes without a player or No Lynch receiving a majority of the votes, the day will end with NO LYNCH.
3.) All mod communication is banned from the thread. If you have a question, PM me. If you want to request a vote count: PM me. If you want to request a deadline extension: PM me. If you want to communicate with me in any way at all then you MUST PM me, and DO NOT POST IT IN THE THREAD THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO. The mod is in a game of mafia only insofar as he is necessary to run the game. I will not add "modwifom" to one of the elements of the game you have to worry about. Depending on how bad your offense, and how far into the game it is, this is a modkillable offense.
4) In the event of a failure to lynch, the days in this game will last at least 3 weeks. After that time has passed, an additional deadline may be added by the mod, as dictated by game activity. YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN THIS DEADLINE IS. Formulate your actions as if there weren’t one, and stay active. As long as there is an active thread, the mod will not impose a deadline.
There may or may not be vanilla players in this game. If there are, their PM looks like this:
From the outskirts of the town, it looks like a nice place to live. Little tufts of grass pop up through the cracks in the cobble stones and are subsequently crushed by your boots. You breath deep of the crisp, smooth mountain air and proceed to the nearest Inn. You’re pretty sure that you’re going to like it here.
You are a Nameless Newbie. You have not been around here long enough to have any sort of special powers, but you do have the power to read, think, and vote. You are a vanilla townie, and you win when all threats to the town are eliminated.
