General Rules/Game Etiquette
Obey all
Site-wide Rules.
Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
You may not quote private communication of any kind. This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
Game Rules
Game rules are in the wiki:
Pick_Your_Power_X/Y
Role PMs are copy/pasted from the examples pointed to by the wiki. Do not attempt to use role PM variations or formatting mistakes to "catch" people. If there's a mistake it's my copy/paste mistake.
Order of action resolution is listed in the wiki. You really shouldn't need a hypothetical but if you do please PM me.
Activity/Prods/Replacements
Prods of missing players will be issued after 48 hours of no activity.
A prodded player has 24 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin (although replacement searches that would start during a weekend may be deferred until Monday). The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 30 hours please PM me or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.
In the light of the current rules for replacements, any requests to replace out are to be made via PM. I will consider the replace out permanent as soon as I have posted in the thread that I am searching for a replacement, do not repost in the thread after this point until you have my explicit permission.
If you have been force replaced for any reason, this is final, I may consider a request to stay in after you have requested a replace out via PM and I have posted in the thread, but if I have removed you for inactivity or for not following a rule, I will not consider putting you back into the slot.
Deadlines
Deadlines for this game will be 14 days for each Day Phase. Night Phases will last a maximum of 48 hours.
Players may request an early end to the Night Phase by PM'ing me. Night will be cut short if all players request it.
Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
Mafia and any other roles that have private communication have day chat.
Player Actions/Voting/Player Death
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for an Elimination to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Eliminate will occur.
Votes must be bolded or use the [.vote] tags to be counted (e.g.
Vote: Player
or
VOTE: Player).
Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
You may Vote: No Elimination - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at my discretion. Fake vote gambits should be executed at your own peril. If I think its a vote, then its a vote.
I will not count votes that I perceive as based on the avatar of a user.
Miscellaneous
I will use
(#4000FF) for Mod posts. Don't impersonate me. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed.
Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
