Rules

Borrowed from Plotinus

• Follow all site rules.
  
  
• Mod colour
  – My mod colour is FF8000; i will cut off your fingers for using it. T3 got no fingers so he may use it.
  
• Behaviour
  - 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 eliminated 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.
  
• 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.
  
• Cryptography
  - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
  
• Confirmation
  - You have about 48 hours to confirm your alignment and pick a number by PM or private topic.
  
• Days
  - Day lasts 7 IRL days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
  
• Activity
  - I care about your health and posting without reasonable breaks for sleep may result in post restriction. You must post at least once every 48 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 48 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. A player who has been prodded 3 times will be subject to replacement with no further notice. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. 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. I wouldn't really not want doing that, bc of game mechanics.
  
• 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:
  @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
  . While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 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 may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
  
• Voting
  - Votes must be in the format VOTE: Kerset. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks.
  
• Elections
  - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to elect somebody. Elections are compulsive. There is no no-election option, and if nobody reaches majority by deadline, whoever has the most votes first will be elected (in case of tie the one who received votes first).
  
• 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.
  
• Daytalk
  - By default puppet master may talk with themselves at any time.
  
• 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.
  
• 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! Your alignment won't change even, if your account gets recruited, so don't play towards scum win condition.

Setup:

Elect the Puppet Master

Secret Alt Game

1

Puppet Master

6

Townies

Day eliminations are called elections. Elections are compulsive.
If

Puppet Master

gets elected, it imminently wins. If

Townie

gets elected, it becomes

Minister

. If

Puppet

gets elected then following night is being skipped and this

Puppet

is removed from the game.
During night

Puppet Master

may select a

non-minister

Townie

and turn it in to

Puppet

. Original owner of that account may no longer post from it and account access is being given to

Puppet Master

.
During day

Puppet Master

may try to guess the real identity of

Townie

and has to roll d4. If it succeeds, selected

Townie

will be turned in to a

Puppet

. If it fails and dice rolls 1 then this

Townie

may no longer be targeted by this ability and it becomes

Minister

.

Town wins once they posses 3

Ministers

.

Townies

, who got turned in to

Puppets

don't lose their win condition.

I do not and will not entertain "people are hampering play by being silly in the first hours of day 1". I don't know why anyone does and that's why I soft vote against electing Department of Health.

@MOD

The puppetmaster's daytime identity guess solely relies on the dice roll and not an actual guess, right? Also, does being minister prevent you from being targeted by that daytime ability, and/or simply having had been targeted by it before makes you immune?

Dice roll only matters in case of incorrect guess. Minister can't be targeted by daytime ability.

On the one side of huge table sat representative from Department of Agriculture along with Department of Justice and Department of Health. They believed that the most responsible person to receive its own ministry would be a person, who initially forgot about this meeting.
On the other side sat representative from Department of Environment joined by Department of Culture and Department of Tweets. They believed that the other side is wrong! The most responsible person is the one, who fall asleep over here during the meeting!
Everyone looked at the representative from Department of Education, who refused to at pick any side and decided to bring her own table.

Finally it was Department of Environment, who was elected!

Department of Environment became a

Minister

. E is confirmed to be aligned with

town

and e may not longer be changed.

Representatives sat in fear and paranoia. Afraid to vote, afraid to speak, afraid to follow their leader. Among them was the chosen one, who had nothing to fear - Minister of Environment! Completely independent from PM was the only one, who... decided to abstain from vote. In silence people waited for sunset to escape from difficult meeting.
Finally it was Department of Health, who was elected!

Department of Health became a

Minister

. DoH is confirmed to be aligned with

town

and may not longer be changed.

When Representative from Department of Tweets came back form bathroom he was shocked. Ministry of Health followed by two departments already prepared election ceremony for him. The only thing left was their self approval. "I guess there is no reason for me to refuse this generous offer. Although i would like to resign from this position, please elect the right person."

Department of Tweets have been elected. They have been revealed as

Puppet

and removed from this game.

Can you explain the dice roll thing? Does a wrong guess only make a minister if the dice rolls a one?

Yes
