Other Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, no weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick
  
• Anyone who has been a player in this game (including those who have replaced out) is not allowed to talk about this game until it is over.

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   olive
   ; don't use it.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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. Anyone who has been a player in this game (including those who have replaced out) is not allowed to talk about this game until it is over.
   
5. Tiny text
   - is not allowed.
   
6. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
7. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
8. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
9. Confirmation
   - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
   
10. Days
    - Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
    
11. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. 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 Player thread post or you will be replaced during the night.
    
12. 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: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. 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.
    
13. 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."
    
14. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
15. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . 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. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
16. Elimination
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to eliminate somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no elimination, the day will end without an elimination. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no elimination.
    
17. 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.
    
18. 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.
    
19. gifs
    - No gifs
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via Player Thread (if town) or Factional PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - I will post temporally relevant reminders in your Player Thread.
    
22. 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.
    
23. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

[bugspray]

Role pms have been sent! The game will begin when 9/9 have confirmed or (expired on 2023-06-26 00:29:03) reaches zero.

[bugspray]

Day 1 begins. Nobody is voting to put anyone else into the box.

(expired on 2023-06-30 17:07:12)

[bugspray]

I updated the rules to remove inaccuracies in which I said any communication would occur via PM. All player and moderator communication should take place via the Player Threads.

[bugspray]

Actually, you know what i want to ask this, does everyone have Reality feels unstable in their role PM?

I do

+1. But why we don't have a sample pm?

Moderator error.

[bugspray]

Sample Role PMs have been made public. Additional information about the box has been made public.

[bugspray]

rest assured, all rules are written down in the moderator thread

@Mod: Are all rules considered active at all times, even if they aren't public knowledge?

No comment.

[bugspray]

There is some confusion about the rules and the use of elimination in "other rules". The rules in other rules are stolen from plotinus and have no mechanical impact on the game. For information about what effect voting a player has please read the mechanical rules section of the OP. You could also read one of my co-mod's wonderful vote counts.

[bugspray]

Also, that parenthesis thing is not significant at all, I simply forgot to press my keyboard buttons correctly and corrected the mistake.

[bugspray]

Merlyn has been put into the box! Now everyone goes to bed after promising not to touch the box until morning.

[bugspray]

It is now Night 1. Night actions should be posted in the appropriate PTs. There is no fast night. Night will last for

(expired on 2023-06-30 01:10:41)

[bugspray]

The Morning dawns and Aliana is missing. Upon closer inspection of The Box you all realize she is now trapped inside of it!
It is now Morning, the time where you should talk amongst yourselves.

(expired on 2023-07-01 06:25:57)

[bugspray]

@Mod: Are Alianna and Merlyn allowed to talk?

The answer to this question is not public information.

[bugspray]

@mod: is "morning 1" (rather than morning 2) a typo, or correct?

This is the first morning.

[bugspray]

Two copies of Merlyn escape from the box, one alive and one dead. The living one appears to be a Quantum Townie. Eventually they shake around and get all wobbly in weird quantum ways before only the corpse of a Quantum Townie remains.

[bugspray]

Due to the unstable nature of reality some of you now have a different Role PM. When all players with different role PM confirm their new role the Quantum Phase will end.

[bugspray]

Good morning! It's a wonderful time for chitchat and chatter. Don't mind the quantum storm on the horizon, it won't be here for (expired on 2023-07-04 03:19:04)

[bugspray]

OK. Another big claim after jason's post
Jason has been telling the truth. The current scum is imagine and I, and we have put no one in the box.
Jason's hypotheses of the +/-1 is wrong. My only guess for day3 scum is bianco and doctor, who haven't been the scum in the previous days.

Shouldn't you have waited for your alignment to actually change?

]If you believe in good faith that the actions you are taking will lead to you winning the game then they are allowed.

[bugspray]

@Mod: do we know if it's possible for a player in the box to also be affected by the quantum phase?

That is not public information.

[bugspray]

Reality is warping!

[bugspray]

Two copies of Aliana escape from the box, one alive and one dead. The living one appears to be a Quantum Townie. Eventually they shake around and get all wobbly in weird quantum ways before only the corpse of a Quantum Townie remains.

[bugspray]

Reality is shifting wildly again! Your roles have changed. Once everyone with a new role confirms we will begin Day 3.

[bugspray]

@Mod: If the entire town agrees, can we choose to start skipping the morning phase?

No. The morning phase has an important purpose in the mechanical design of the game.

I would like to remind everyone that the wincons listed in your Role PMs might not be entirely accurate, as due to the complicated potential states of who is alive, who is in the box, and who is dead, there may be ways for the game to end other than what you are literally interpreting.

[bugspray]

heipizhu4 has been put into the box!

[bugspray]

Morning.
(expired on 2023-07-07 20:17:59)

[bugspray]

Reality feels uncertain.

[bugspray]

Some of you have a new Role PM. All players with a new role PM must confirm their roles before the game can continue.

[bugspray]

It is now day.

[bugspray]

Two copies of Ircher escape from the box, one alive and one dead. The living one appears to be a Quantum Goon. Eventually they shake around and get all wobbly in weird quantum ways before only the corpse of a Quantum Townie remains.

Two copies of JasonWazza escape from the box, one alive and one dead. The living one appears to be a Quantum Townie. Eventually they shake around and get all wobbly in weird quantum ways before only the corpse of a Quantum Townie remains.

[bugspray]

Roles have been randomed again.

[bugspray]

Doctor Drew has been put into the box.

[bugspray]

It is now Night 5.

(expired on 2023-07-13 16:45:12)

[bugspray]

I forgot to mention, there's a new secret night action which unlocks when there are only two living players. This night action can be used by anyone as long as there are two or fewer living players.

[bugspray]

In the middle of the night heipizhu4 goes out and destroys the box, killing everyone inside. Because the box contained all non-dead Quantum Goons town wins.

I will begin making threads public.
