19. These rules cannot possibly cover everything. I reserve the right to add to the rules (you will be notified) and to take action on any situations even when they are not explicitly covered here.
20. Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as actually breaking a rule.
21. I am always up for a chat! If you're in doubt about anything, just PM me and we can talk about it.
- I really like feedback. Give me feedback at any time by PM or in thread. If it's a minor thing or not related to this game you can even submit anonymously through this Google Form!
22. Ausuka is the lovely person who is backup modding for me this game, and implosion is the listmod. You should feel free to contact them about anything.

The abridged version

- 7-day Days, 48-hour Nights, 36/24 prod timer.
- Toxicity is moderated strictly.
- Enjoy yourselves! <3

A peaceful dawn on a square in Carcassonne. Despite having made its name for its medieval fortress, the city also comprises modern developments built at the feet of the hill where the original medieval fortification stands.

Cloister attached to Narbonne Cathedral. I have a soft spot for these. Whenever I fantasise about being a priest in the Middle Ages (embarrassingly often for how unfashionable the Catholic Church is) 90% of the fantasy is looking cool walking around a cloister.

Mod note

This unvote made no sense, because froggodoggo was voting Galron at the time:

Spoiler: quote

T3 is on my scum list, along with Eira for being silent and being defended for no reason by t3. I thought maybe T3 talking about froggo not engaging my case could have been a pocket attempt. When he realized it wasn't working, he decided to try to frame me for attacking silly fun posts.

Still dunno about T3 being scum, but this kind of post is very town!pov from bloodb0t. I don't agree with the read but it's so farfetched that i don't think it comes from mafia.

Farfetched probably isnt the right word, i KNOW theres a term that mafia players use for this and every time i want to use it i forget what it is D:

anyways UNVOTE: bloodb0t

It's ok though, because froggodoggo voted for ceejayvinoya in the next post:

Spoiler: quote

Eiralox is town. they seem independent. like they r just out there in the world with no scum buddy. just the vibe that i get from that intro.

null on ceejay

page 3 hero solve t3/andante tbh that "conflict" went away immediately

I'm in love with these reads

T3 and andante did feel like they backed off each other pretty quickly

The only problem is that I don't really see andante scum so far

andante disengaging with T3 on 21 really pings towny to me for some reason

So sorting from this:

andante probably town.

T3 could be town?

Eiralox is town because I said so.

VOTE: froggodoggo

I wish we'd get more galron and blood posts to work with soon.

loving my reads into voting me is a weird jump that i didnt pay much attention to before. seems like scum who forgot what their reads were and voted opportunistically. i'd like an explanation for the jump. also CJ and T3 have both TR'd eiralox w/o reason so Eiralox might just be town who is being spewed by the mafia

VOTE: ceejay

flavour

A street in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (literally Saint-Marys-of-the-Sea), a seaside town with a palpable Spanish influence of little houses tightly packed around twisting alleys. We were there in the early spring and the light, then, still felt scorching. It reflected off the houses' white walls, seemingly blanching and fading all matter, until the entire town was one blinding pool of white light.

Carcassonne. There at one point we ran into a woman playing some sort of stringed instrument, maybe a mini harp or lyre. The wind carried her music around the fortresses' walls. It left a strong impression, as if the old stone was alive and imbued with magic that allowed it to whisper and sing.

The ruins of the Roman Theatre in Arles. This was my favourite place to visit. It was a lovely morning. The light was soft; trees glittered as their leaves rustled slightly in the breeze. We ran into a group of small schoolchildren singing the French national anthem and decided to show off our superior teenage lungs by singing our own anthem.
