Rules

• Players will adhere to site-wide rules, which can be found here.
  
  1. This game will feature a
  closed
  setup. That means roles are not public information at the beginning of the game.
  
  2. The preferred voting method is to put vote tags around the player's name, but I will still accept the old method of bolding the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: TellTaleHeartor
  Vote: TellTaleHeart
  . As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you want to change your vote, it would be cool if you unvoted first, but you don't have to. You unvote by posting
  Unvote
  in bold. You may also VOTE: No Lynch, unvoted the same way as before.
  
  3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.
  
  4. Day 1 will have an 14 (real) day deadline. Subsequent days will have a 10 day deadline. Nights will have a 48 hour deadline. I reserve the right to extend these deadlines.
  
  5. Once you are dead, you may not continue to post in the thread. This includes "bah" posts.
  
  6. You may post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
  dark blue
  . That color is mine.
  
  7. Unless you're the moderator (that's me), please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.
  
  8. This game will follow Natural Action Resolution. Individual scum players may both perform the factional kill and any additional ability they may have in the same night.
  
  9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread.
  
  10. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.
  
  11. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 48 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread. If you do not tell me to do so, neither will I check your signature.) If you are prodded, you will have 24 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 48 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.
  
  12. I'd love for everyone to play the game to completion, but if you must please feel free to request replacement.
  
  13. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason: This is a game. HAVE FUN! Enjoy! And good luck!

[TellTaleHeart]

The role PMs are out! Please confirm by PM. The game will begin when 8 out of 9 players have confirmed.

Please at least try to be civil to each other. I don't want to get involved because I'd prefer to trust my players to work out interpersonal problems themselves but I will intervene if it's necessary to maintain the integrity of the game.

Can you prod jmo?

Per rule 11, jmo will not be eligible for a prod until 48 hours after he last posted. Since this is a holiday weekend, I'm giving everyone a little leeway and won't be issuing any prods until tomorrow afternoon when I check this thread on my lunch break.

[TellTaleHeart]

I'm going to change the way I do prods. I'm sorry this game was dragging so much, but I feel like I'm setting a bad precedent by replacing players when they didn't break any rules. I think I'll co-opt Plotinus' policy of prodding through prod dodges and I'll also amend the rules to allow me to reserve the right to replace someone who's not playing.

I think I'll also change the way I handle mod questions because that came up both here and in Gumball. In the future, I'll only take questions about the vote counts and public mechanics in the thread. Anything beyond that will have to be taken to PM's. I'll specify that in the rule set.

This is probably the last normal game I'll run. Both this one and the mini I ran ended up sinking into quagmires of apathy.

Is it the setup? I'm a little afraid to run anything with Vanilla Townies now. :S

[TellTaleHeart]

Good game, all.

You didn't play. You setup specced.

You fakeclaimed, silly.
Of course he would catch you by setup spec.

[TellTaleHeart]

Unbalanced or boring?

[TellTaleHeart]

RC wasn't really a backup doc. He was a VT. Not sure why he claimed what he did. :S

[TellTaleHeart]

What does Encryptor show up for rolecop?

Encryptor

The idea was for the rolecop to only be able to get a "guilty" on the Encryptor. I didn't think that made it too unbalanced. :S

[TellTaleHeart]

Why? Town didn't have that much power to start with.

[TellTaleHeart]

Speaking of which, TheDominator37, "vanilla" doesn't necessarily equal confirmation that someone is town. Some moderators will give you that result for mafia goons.

He asked me explicitly if he would get vanilla for mafia goons and I told him he would.

[TellTaleHeart]

Town were certainly lucky none of the chances they took backfired on them.

Does anyone else think the setup is unbalanced? 2 Goons vs 1 Tracker and 1 Doctor in the Matrix6 setup has a town win rate of about 43.8%. I figured my gated investigative role was similar enough to give a similar rate.

[TellTaleHeart]

Why? Town didn't have that much power to start with.

Investigative + Doc has follow the cop problems.

The "cop" doesn't get definitive results though. o.O
