Action Phases:
1. Pages 1 - 12
2. = Day 3
3. = Day 4
4. = Day 5
5. = Day 6
PM or IM or otherwise contact any player at anytime about this game, regardless of if you are living or dead. If your role makes an exception to this rule for you, strictly follow the new rule in your role PM. Exception: all forms of intra-hydra communication are allowed.
2.
Once you are dead you can no longer post in-thread.
Not even a "bah." post.
Seriously.
3.
Each player can vote for exactly one other player at a time during the day. Make your choice in bold letters like
Vote: YYYYYY
.
4.
To change your vote, post
Unvote
in bold letters, or make a post voting for someone else in accordance with
3.
.
5.
Cast votes and unvotes that do not follow the formatting guideline described in (3.) and (4.) will
not
be counted.
6.
A lynch will occur when more than 50% of the players have their votes placed upon the same player, or have their votes placed upon
Nolynch
. After the 50%+1 threshold is reached, the lynch will occur regardless of any subsequent posting. Kills will be posted in thread between 6 and 30 hours after I receive them by PM. I will attempt to randomize the delay as much as possible to prevent date/time type confirmation of kill source.
7.
Day and Twilight:
"Day" is defined as the period between the moderator's "Start of Day __" post, and when either a vote is cast that places a player past the 50%+1 threshold necessary for a lynch. Role actions can only be submitted during periods of Day.
"Twilight" is defined as the period between the time of the final valid vote necessary for a lynch or nolynch was cast and the following "Start of Day ___" post, or the "Twilight Expiration Trigger". Role actions are not valid if they are submitted during periods of twilight.
Twilight Expiration Trigger: Twilight (the period following the last vote needed to lynch,) will last for a set period. In alpha that period will be 6 to 18 hours. In beta that period will be = to 2 * the number of living players in posts. No votes will be accepted during twilight, and action submissions
will not
be accepted during Twilight. Flavor Excuse: lynchings are messy. The town has to clean up the gallows, burn the body, ect.. and it takes some time to build up the level of aggression necessary to kill another of your neighbors who might very well be innocent.
: reset on pages: 13, 24, 32, 37, 40, 43, and every third page after that (46, 49, 52...).
9.
This game will not have deadlines. Ever.
-- changed.
10.
When 72 hours have passed without an individual player posting, I will prod that player
only if specifically requested to do so in-thread
by any other player.
-- canceled.
11.
If a prodded player does not open the prodding PM within 72 hours he will be replaced. Until a replacement is found the player facing replacement can still vote and post. If I have to prod a player a third time during the game, I will replace him. If you expect to be unable to post in the game for 48+ hours, send me a PM. I do not check the vacation/leave thread.
-- canceled
12.
Hydras (two players sharing the same alt account) are encouraged as a way to reduce the chances of replacement. All hydras will be public (all players will know who makes up each hydra) and hydras are static. You can't replace half of your hydra. I will not deal with hydra drama. If you PM me about drama within your hydra (not getting along, she changed the password, whatever), I'll just replace that hydra. Claiming to be experiencing hydra drama within the game thread is allowed...
but if you use your non-hydra account to do so you will be replaced
. Replacing out = loss. Replacing out for tactical reasons = ban from my future games.
13.
Special rule for
DHSDSM
β
: Spam is not allowed.
The second time you post more than three times in a row you will be modkilled. You will not be warned. Six posts in a row = modkill. Hydras need to be extra careful of this rule. Posts by alt account will count towards the mod-kill.
Making more than 15 posts within an hour will also result in a modkill
-- canceled.
14.
If you have the ability to edit posts, don't do it in this thread.
15.
If you have any questions please ask me via PM or in-thread as they occur to you. I will be as fair and helpful as I can.
16.
Every moderator will make mistakes, and I am no exception. Please be patient, understanding, and forgiving towards me.
17.
I support free speech. Quote anything you like
(except for ongoing games!)
whenever you like. All forms of cryptography that do not
require
software (or more than 1 hour for me to work with just pen and paper) for encryption or decryption are acceptable as well. Do not PM or otherwise contact players outside the thread with game related information unless you are explicitly permitted.
*cite when (date, time) a player has posted elsewhere on this site
*cite information posted by a moderator in another game (including alignment if it is revealed by the mod)
You shall not otherwise reference another game.
If you write a post that has a chance of breaking this site-wide rule, PM it to me before you post it. I will tell you if it would get you modkilled or not.
19.
The game ends when all living players are members of the same faction. If the game never ends then there will never be a "winner".
20.
Breaking a rule = death for a given value of death. I determine that value. A modkill will not end the day.
Possible Roles
All roles that appear in the game are from this list. Not every role in this list is used in the game. This setup will include 1 Mafia Group of 3 players, AND at least 1 Compulsive Vig OR 1 Sk.

just to be clear, Doctors, Mafia Doctors, Mafia Roleblockers, Roleblockers, and Trackers
must
submit a target (via PM to this account) for action phase 1 before the game starts in order to use thier ability during action phase 1. During action phase 1 they will submit their target for action phase 2.

Q: When can (I/we) submit (my/our) kill?
A: The kill for each action phase can be submitted during each action phase, when it is not twilight. Twilight is not connected to action phases.
--added 19 April
Q: Will a Tracker get a report during action phase 1 on a player who made a submission during the pregame?
A: No. However, a Tracker will get a report if/when that player submits an action for action phase 2 during action phase 1.
--added 26 April

I'm going to be a little lenient about this at first, but
and is Cross-bussing via the Beta game.
is an example of talking about another game, which is explicitly banned in my rules.
Alpha and Beta are separate games. Within your hydra you can talk about the other game, but you can't talk about the other game in the in the game threads (or in your scum QT thread if your are mafia).

@Adel&Claus a vote count may be good. Also your policy says you got to post asking it to get others prodded. You may want to allow people to pm you that stuff.
I'm trying to keep them to one per page. Would you prefer more?
I will only prod people if specifically requested to do so in the thread, as per the rule-set.

Looking through my messages, I see that I've sent out some mixed signals.
"Possible Roles
All roles that appear in the game are from this list. Not every role in this list is used in the game. This setup will include 1 Mafia Group of 3 players, AND at least 1 Compulsive Vig OR 1 Sk."
the "OR" is exclusive. There can't be a vig left in the game since there was a SK, but there might be 1 or more additional SKs left in the game.

If lurking continues, I may consider revising the rules so that 4th prod ='s modkill instead of 3rd prod = replacement. You will have plenty of advance warning, but the prod count will not be reset.
While I recognize that the action phase mechanic is a structural disincentive to post, I will not allow this game to die.
[/mod slap on the wrist]
[color=darkblue]DHSDSM α and DHSDSM β and hydra oh my! [/color] -- (Adel+Claus)
Rule Changes:
1. I will no longer prod or replace players. Nor will I modkill players for inactivity. You are all mature players: it is required by "the spirit of the game" that all players participate and post.
2. Each action phase will correspond with a period of day. Day 3 will equal Action Phase 2, Day 4 will be Action Phase 3, ect.
3. Twilight will last as long as I like, but I will not accept submissions for actions during periods of twilight.
4. Each day will have a deadline. At deadline the largest minority (or "first past the pole" in the event of a tie) will lynch.
Note that this totally lifts the "posting restriction" that the game has been under. Standby for a post explosion!
I really really hate changing rules mid-stream, but this game was teetering between excellence and disaster.
The solution to the action phase mechanic I currently favor is to set a 2 week deadlines for each period of day, with the largest minority lynching at deadline, each period of day will equal one action phase.
I will have to amend each PM slightly if I decide to go with this solution. All such changes will be made public, of course, and all roles will be amended at the same time.
Before I start on that, I want to give you a chance to veto.
You have 72 hours to PM me (Adel or Saunt Adelous) "Veto" to use your veto.
I will make this message public by posting it in the game thread if none of the scum veto within 72 hours.
Any suggestions or question you may have are very welcome!
Cheers!
Adel
none of the scum vetoed this plan. I decided not to rewrite any role PM's. The order in which stuff resolves:
1. New day/new action phase (same thing) post by mod -- also the official end of twilight.
2. Action submission for this action phase are accepted.
3. A hammer vote is cast OR deadline falls. (no further new actions are accepted after this time/date) -- Official start of twilight.
4. Pending kills and other actions resolve.
5. Lynch scene
I think this solution is the correct one for preserving the fun of the game, and all of the good & long posts that might make this game especially interesting to other players later.

"Strike One" means that you should avoid no-lynching/no-killing, else you might see yourself into a "... and everyone lived happily ever after", which means all teams lose.

It is now twilight. Twilight will take X hours from the hammer vote (X is already determined, and less than 24 hours). Votes and Actions will not be counted during twilight. I'll announce the end of twilight with another post. Feel free to talk in the meanwhile, day 7 will begin soon.
