- 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 lynched if you try it.
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.
Animated GIFs
- are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
Tiny text
- is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
Claiming scum
- by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
- 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.
Days
- Day 1 last 10 days. After days last 7 RL days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
Activity
- 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 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.
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 3 days. 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.
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."
Quoting
- You can always directly quote
from
the public thread
into
any private threads I have given you access to, and
from
any neighbourhood threads
into
your scum PT. You can always quote yourself, unless it contains text that you haven't yourself written. Everything else must be paraphrased
in a manner that clearly indicates it is a paraphrase
. This includes but is not limited to: private mod communication including role pms and answers to questions,
from
neighbourhoods
into
public thread,
from
neighbourhoods
into
each other,
from
mafia PT
into
anywhere. Paraphrasing suggestions: Change all the verbs from "I think Plotinus is scum" to "Allomancer said that they think Plotinus is scum" or translate the post into pirate speech or ye olde English or rhyming verse or something to make it clear that it is a paraphrase.
Proxying
- When you post v/la in the thread, you can proxy your vote to another player like so
v/la until Thursday, proxy vote to Plotinus
, then Plotinus will be able to move your vote like
YYYY votes: XXXX
. Your vote will be returned to your control automatically when you return from V/LA or at the end of the day phase.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: farside or
Vote: farside
. 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
VOTE: farside
to vote and
UNVOTE: farside
to unvote.
Lynching
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
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.
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.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). 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.
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, unless you're scum in which case I'll use an algorithm to determine a fallback kill for you because inactivity nokills are lame.
Notes PT
- Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. 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.
Play to win
- this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

This is a story of a young woman who is going through not only a difficult family situation, but a possible new career.
Zoey
One day this young lady needs an MRI (go watch the show for details as to why). During the MRI, an earthquake hits while she is in the machine. None the wiser after her visit Zoey hears someone sing.
And before she knows it there is a crowd singing and dancing the same song!
Why am I hearing people sing? What do they need help with?
The dancing stops as she gets to her office. The dancers move and a body lays dead on the floor.
Among a few other choice words came from her mouth. This was no time to panic, Joan says. We will shut this place down and find out who did this!
Day 1 has begun!
Deadline: (expired on 2020-05-24 06:47:00)

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
