Note: There are additional instructions for this game included at the end of the rules, so please read thoroughly.
1. "Nights" will last as long as I need them to. The deadline will be posted. If you need an extension, just tell me, I might need one someday myself.
2. "Days" will last as long as they need to. If discussion lags, I will impose a deadline. If discussion picks up, the deadline will be rescinded. Aren't I the nice one??? (the correct answer is... NO)
3. Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted. If you are not counted, you do not exist.
4. Unvotes must proceed new votes. If you do not unvote before voting, you are still voting for the previous person. If you are still voting for the previous person, they may become dead.
5. Once a player has reached the necessary majority to lynch, the day is over. Unvoting them will not save their life. At deadline, half majority will constitute a lynch. Otherwise, there will be no lynch.
6. No lynches are allowed, they require the same votes as a lynch.
7. The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so. You button your lip, or I button it for you.
8. Once your death scene has been posted, unless you're not dead, you’re dead. You will be told if you're not dead. Once your dead please DO NOT POST until the game is over. I will allow one "BAH!" post, as long as it contains no pertinent information.
9. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts. No matter what stupid thing you've done. Why can't you just THINK? I mean, come on!
10. Don’t quote any PMs or e-mails from me, lest I kill you.
11. If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. If you miss a deadline, no choice will be made. This usually involves you being very unhappy.
12. If you're going to be gone any amount of time, let everyone know.
13. The mod is god. Any mistakes such as inaccurate vote counts are obviously YOUR mistake. Please point out your mistakes so I can correct them. And if I ask you to eat play-doh, you say "WHAT COLOR, MOD!". Sacrifices of small woodland animals accepted.
Special Rules:
To begin this game, I must explain the nature of UPick. For this particular game, we won't have a specific theme, though I may use one in future games. Each of you needs to pm me a name of some sort. This can range from Superman to small woodland creatures, or even a box of kleenex. I will allow any sort of noun or name, even plural nouns. Feel free to use descriptors in front of the nouns/names, too. The only requirement is that I(or my co-mod, Someone) knows what your entry IS. If you think we might not know what it is, please provide a description of your selection. Links to sites are great, too. We want to have the most information possible about your choice, in order to make this game as interesting as possible. If you do not provide enough information, or we don't think we know enough to use your choice, you will be notified and will have to submit a new entry.
After we recieve your choice, a role will be created based around different aspects of your person/thing. Then you will get your selection back with a role accompanying it.
Please note that not everyone will necessarily get the type of role they are fishing for. First of all, if everyone submits really powerful things, we have to balance it somehow. Also, if a lot of people submit evil selections, not all of them will be anti-town, or there won't be enough pro-town players. So please don't try to fish for a certain role. Be creative and have a little fun with your selection, instead. I think that about covers everything you need to know at this point. My illustrious co-mod can fill in anything
you
forgot (see rule #13
).
