Hey there kiddos! I know it's heartbreaking to have your regular survivors interrupted, but look what you're getting instead: ME! And a whole truckload of mindless whining and wanton backstabbing, everything that makes this game great! Now, if you're insane enough to put yourself through this level of torture, simply read the rules and fill out this application I'll pick the 24 most
gullible victims
promising contestants, and we'll find out which one of you morons is lucky enough to be the last survivor!
[GENERAL RULES]
[01]
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.
[02]
This is a game. The secondary objective is to win. Regardless of how amusing you think it may be, don't spend the game trolling the other players. That's the mods' job.
[03]
We are not infallible, so if any of the moderating team makes a mistake, please point it out and I will correct it if needed, before blowing you into tiny pieces.
[04]
We have worked extensively to produce a game that will torment all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player disrespect but expect to be shown the opposite in return.
[05]
Do not modify avatars. The moderating team (or rather, Harley) has spent time and care to create these avatars, and we would rather not spend time making unnecessary revisions.
[06]
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.
[07]
Please ignore your common sense while you decide whether or not you're going to join.
[08]
Posting or linking to any form of NSFW content may result in modkill, replacement, or even blacklisting from all future games. If you think something is borderline or questionable, it's probably banned.
[09]
We reserve all rights to implement new rules and/or ignore old ones if needed.
[GAME MECHANICS]
[00]
PM's are only to be used for communication within your tribe. All out-of-tribe contact is to be confined to challenge threads and general discussion.
[01]
Arkham City
is
ANONYMOUS
. All participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's mafiascum identity. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden until otherwise stated. This also includes communicating with someone you know to be spectating. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.
Immunity Challenges:
[02]
Insane as I am, even I won't do away with the basics. Each round will possess an Immunity Challenge.
[03]
The outcomes of all Challenges are final. That said, however, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind. Because I probably didn't.
[04]
Winners of Immunity Challenges will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out in Tribal Councils.
[05]
We (well, some of us) appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods can't be bothered to cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.
Tribal Council:
[06]
Tribal Councils will last twenty-four hours from the moment I force Robin to update stuff. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time frame, he or she will suffer embarrassment, a self-vote penalty, and a parking ticket. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify the moderators and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.
[07]
The results of Tribal Councils may be posted before deadline if and only if all persons involved have submitted a vote and requested Tribal Council to end early, and the mods are not lazy.
[08]
The modification of votes after they have been submitted is
allowed
. Just be sure to do it before deadline and in a separate post.
[09]
In the event of repeated failures to vote, the moderating team may choose to execute or replace the offending moron at their discretion.
[10]
The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final.
[11]
Questions concerning ties in Tribal Council may be found below:
Spoiler: Breaking Ties
I
In the event of an initial tie, a revote shall take place. Contestants may only vote for one of the tied players, and all tied individuals may not vote. Reward items may not be used in this revote.
II
If a majority is not met in the revote, we give all tied players a copy of the Bat Vote Repellant(read: Shield of Highgarden) reward item and restart the tribal council. (To be clear: Yes, you can vote for anyone, and yes, reward items may be played. In the event of yet another tie, we'll return to part I of the tiebreaker.)
Twists:
[14]
Twists will be about as numerous and game-changing as all those Bat-gadgets on a certain utility belt. Think fast, or suffer a mild case of death.
Disclaimer:
[15]
We do not claim responsibility for any player rage, frustration, homicide, or sarcasm instigated by this game. If you find yourself showing symptoms of any of the above, please take it out on the spectators and not us.
If you have any further questions, contact xofelf, don't PM this account if you want any sort of swift response. If you'd like to spectate, please also fill out the application for character choice purposes. Signups will last until Saturday, July 11th, 11:59PM EDT.
