The Rules
Cribbed from LML
THE RULES:
[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If not, a random choice will be made for the first night, and no choice for subsequent nights.
[04] No quoting my or others PM's. No paraphrasing of winning conditions either.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that.
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached — and cannot be undone by unvoting. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the endgame (6 or less) only a real majority will result in a lynch.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote, although I will still count your vote if you don't. If an error is made in a vote count, notify me by PM and I will correct it.
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error, just post again.
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text.
[10] If you know you will not be checking the thread for a period of 72 hours or more, it would be nice if you would post that beforehand. If you fail to post for 4 RL days in a row (weekends count as 1 day). You will be prodded. If you fail to respond or post within the next 2 days, you will be replaced. If you need to be prodded more than 3 times, you will be replaced.
[11] If you're out of the game, you may come back as substitute - only if you do not talk to other players about the game after your death of course.
[12] The mod is always right. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email, or do so after the game has finished.
[13] Violations of these rules are punishable by modkill.
Fade from black. Zoom in on the streets of a rotten little part of a big, rotten city. In the gutter lie dead leaves, scraps of paper, burnt matches and cigarette butts. It’s about nine o’clock in the evening. Each house is quiet and the blinds are pulled tight. One by one, the lights on the block go out, darkness takes hold, and all seems peaceful and still. Appearances, as they say, can be deceiving.
Night Zero has begun. Night choices are due by 10 PM EST Friday, January 11.
