. You may use it, but my exact name may not be used in this colour. All posts I edit will have my full username in that colour explaining what, why, or both what and why I edited the post.
Behaviour
- 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 hand you over to the authorities (list mods). Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself executed 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 any of the threads I created for this game.
Tiny text
- may be difficult for players with myopia and hyperopia to read. If I have difficulty reading it without bringing my head closer to my device's screen, I will increase its size to ease my reading of it and say that I did so in the edit.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying you did something random is fine; providing any sort of proof that you did so is not.
Cryptography
- is forbidden in any form. Breadcrumbing is okay.
Confirmation
- You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM before I seek a replacement for your slot. Details about being replaced for not confirming your role can be found in the replacement section. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Prods
- will be sent as soon as I could if it has been 36 hours since your last post. It will count as an official prod 48 hours after your last post in the game thread was made. I will seek a replacement 72 hours after your last post in the game thread. If you are on Vacation/Limited Access, prods will be sent as soon as possible 60 hours since your last post in the game thread and will count as an official prod 72 hours after your last post. You must then post 96 hours since your last post before I replace you during Vacation/Limited Access. Players can request me to prod someone whose last post was made 24 hours ago. If you accumulate 4 prods, you will be force replaced.
Replacements
- If you have failed to confirm your role, made your last post 72 hours ago when you are not on Vacation/Limited Access or made your last post 96 hours ago if your are on Vacation/Limited Access, I will seek a replacement. If I have not announced the replacement in thread, you may announce your presence by posting. If I have announced the replacement in thread, you may no longer announce your presence by posting or any other manner as you have been replaced.
Days
- The first day begins when the game starts. The other days begin after the previous day is over. Days last 14 days (336 hours).
Nights
- are non existent in this game.
Vacation/Limited Access
- If you need to be absent for more than 48 hours, you should declare V/LA in bold in the thread like this:
@Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday. While you are V/LA, you be prodded once every 72 hours.
Quoting
- You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication. Paraphrasing the contents of these is fine.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Fredrick A Campbell or Vote: Fredrick A Campbell. 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.
To use voting tags, type[vote]Fredrick A Campbell[/vote] to vote and [unvote]Fredrick A Campbell[/unvote] to unvote.
Executions
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to execute somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no execution, the day will end without an execution. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no execution.
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.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM anytime. The game is over if you do, though, as you win if you targetted the king and lose if you targetted anyone else.
Reminders
- If I don't hear from you about your actions, I will assume you have not decided to target anyone.
Notes Private Threads
- 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!
