1] Play to win. Nobody wants to be a loser.
2] Do not take screenshots or directly quote any of the PMs that I send you. Doing so will result in a mod-kill. Pretending to break this rule is the same as actually breaking it. You may paraphrase, but use caution. When in doubt, run it by me first.
3] Do not edit any of your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
4] Do not use encrypted text, hidden text, small text, or any other hard-to-read text when posting.
5] Once you have been lynched or killed, you are out of the game. Do not post anymore until the game is over.
6] Do not talk about this game with anybody else outside of these threads unless your role PM explicitly says that you can.
7] Heated discussion is fine, but personal attacks, insults, flaming, and poor sportsmanship are not. Please don't be a jerk to your fellow players. If I feel that your behavior is preventing other players from enjoying the game, I reserve the right to force-replace or mod-kill you.
8] Do not talk about ongoing games. Like really, come on...
Day, Night, and Twilight:
9] Each Day phase will last for one week and each Night phase will last for one day.
10] Players may continue to talk in their respective private threads during Twilight, including the player that has been lynched.
11] If you do not send me your Night action before the specified deadline, I will assume that you are not performing an action on that night.
12] If you know you will be unavailable during a Night phase, you may send me your night action during the preceding Day phase if you so desire.
13] Deadline extension requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
14] Factional abilities may be used alongside role abilities as long as the role ability doesn't specifically state otherwise.
15] Please post all votes and unvotes using either the bold tag or the vote tag. Nicknames are fine, as long as I can understand them. Votes should look like this:
Vote: Archwing
or
VOTE: Archwing.
16] Unvotes are helpful, but not necessary.
17] Please refrain from engaging in any kind of voting trickery. If it looks like a vote, I'm counting it as a vote.
18] A lynch will only occur when a majority (more than 50% of all possible votes) is reached. The number of votes needed to hammer will be included with every vote count.
19] If a majority is not reached by the deadline, there will be no lynch on that Day.
20] Once a hammer occurs, no votes or unvotes will prevent the lynch from happening.
21] Additional votes include VOTE: No Lynch to end the Day with no lynch (which will also require a majority) and VOTE: Draw to end the game in a draw (which will require 100% agreement from all living players).
22] You will be expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you go more than 48 hours without posting, you will be prodded. This is required for each private thread. You cannot be active in one, and lurk in the other. I will prod you.
23] If you receive a prod, you will have 24 hours to post in the game thread. If you do not respond to your prod within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if I have to prod you three times, the third prod will be an automatic replacement.
24] If you know that you will have limited access to the game for more than a few days, please let me know via PM.
Communication with the Moderator:
25] I may be pretty close to perfect, but I do still make mistakes every now and then. If you notice an error with the vote counts, deadlines, or anything else related to the game, please let me know and I will correct the issue.
26] I have the right to not answer any role-related questions in the game thread. If you have any questions about your role, the (theoretical) roles of any other players in the game, or (theoretical) role interactions, send me a PM. Do not try to trick me into confirming a player's role. I will not be amused.
27] If you need to get my attention, just include @Mod or @Arch in your post. Also, bolding will help catch my eye.
28] If you have any problems with another player, send me a PM and I will do my best to resolve the issue.
29] If a player is mod-killed during the Day phase, then that Day will end immediately.
30] My color is Purple (#800080) DON’T USE IT.
31] Do not ask me to mod-kill, force-replace, or discipline any other player in the game. That is my decision to make, not yours.
32] As the moderator, my word is final. Please respect my instructions and my decisions.
33] I reserve the right to change these rules during the game if necessary. If this happens, I will inform everybody of the rule change in the thread.
34] In addition to these rules, all site-wide rules also apply.
35] Claiming color code, timestamps, spelling, or any other form of non-public information is prohibited.
36] Go ahead. Find a loophole in my rules. Abuse of a loophole may end with a mod-kill.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At night, the private threads will be closed. There will be no night chat.
No bah! posts are allowed.
ONLY
VOTE: and
UNVOTE: tags are allowed in the game thread. They must be legitimate votes.. abuse of this will result in a modkill.
Twilight discussion in the private threads is allowed.
Once a player has been killed or lynched, all private threads with them will be locked. You may still access that thread, but you cannot post in it any longer.
DO NOT DIRECTLY QUOTE FROM ONE PRIVATE THREAD INTO ANOTHER
- you may paraphrase what one player said to another, but you may not word-for-word quote another player. This will result in a modkill.
