Game mechanics

Day

• Days begin with a deadline of
  168 hours
  (7 days).
  
• Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
  • The deadline is reached.
    
  • A majority vote for a single player is achieved.
    
  • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
• Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  
• When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be
  launched
  (eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  
• If the day reaches deadline without a majority, or if at least half of living players are voting for “No launch”, the day will end and no one will be launched.
  
• I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  
• When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
  twilight
  . Players, including the condemned, may continue to post during this period.
  
• Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.

Night

• Nights will last
  48 hours
  .
  
• During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.

---

Activity requirements

• Players who do not confirm within
  36 hours
  of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  
• Players who do not post any game-related content for
  36 hours
  in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  
• Players who do not post any game-related content for
  24 hours
  following a prod will be replaced.
  
• Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  
• “Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
  
• If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
  in thread
  and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  
• Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
  5 days
  of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  
• These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.

[Umlaut]

@UMLAUT: Assuming a Bodyguard and a Doctor exist in this game and they both protect someone together, does the Bodyguard take priority or the Doctor?

In this scenario I would give the Doctor priority, using the order of roles as listed on the Natural Action Resolution/Normal Game page as the final tiebreaker. This means that if their mutual target were also targeted by a single kill, then (barring any other relevant interactions) both the target and the Bodyguard would survive.

There was no error as per the game rules a no-launch only requires a 50% vote

Thanks for playing, everyone! This thread is now open for public discussion.

[Umlaut]

I had what I thought were some interesting ideas in designing this setup but in the end this game was pretty much entirely about day play. Not much happened PR-wise, aside from the early vig shot on Owen.
