The rules (please read them carefully):
[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk.
[01b]Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting. (Also it's good to not take things too personally...)
[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, no choice will be made for you the first time. Repeat offendors may have choices made for them . I don’t like long nights. Usually the dead line will be 3RL nights (preferred) and may only go up to 4RL nights.
But that is a deadline for me. If all choices are in then I will not linger. If you need time feel free to let me know and it will be taken care of within reason.
I will send pm reminders if there is something you need to have done/be doing and have yet to.
(If I'm not in a peachy mood then...you get jipped)
[04] No quoting my or others emails/pm. I will kill you if you do so.
ANY PM that you get from playing in this game...if you direct quote it
I will...kill you.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting after that. (please adhere to that) (You should know when you shouldn't be talking)
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. In case of a tie, first come first served.
[6b] I will of course be paying attention to the game as much as possible but if a lynch is reached while I am in class etc. any votes after the lynch majority is reached will not be taken into account.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote. ( Try not to fos in bold(flexible rule). Try italics and underlined if you can.)
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error then hopefully it’s obvious what you meant.
( Obviously I am not into ridiculous posting. But if you REALLY REALLY feel you need to double post and you honestly don’t think it would annoy me…then you have my blessing.) I.E. spamming, too many non game related posts ( Not all of you can edit it anyway, but don't mess with this thread and don't edit anything either)
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text. Ditto for tiny text. (ditto=same thing)
[10] If you know you will not check the thread for a period of 48 hours or more, please post a message on that in the VACATION THREAD OF COURSE. try pm'ing me about it as well please if you can.
[11] The mod is always right. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email/message, or do so after the game has finished.
[12] No spam. ( it makes the game thread look untidy and bothers me)
[13] Not too heavy with off topic things. I seem to do it a lot but only because people tend to ask me o/t things in the game. So if you have posted something non spammy and of content and adds to the progress of the game you may have reasonable off topic( o/t) things in your post. IF IT IS CLEARLY LABELED OFF TOPIC. PLEASE DISTINGUISH FROM GAME INFO.) ( Yeah that does get gray area if you are implementing strategy)
I will try to stay on topic as well.
[14] I don’t think I am into mod-killings but…how about not testing that?
[15] Last but not least...DO NOT BREAK MSCUM RULES.
[16] Oh, realize that no one can be trusted,Assumptions falter, actions and or lack thereof has consequences.
[17] If I notice or the general thread notices a player has not posted for 4 or more RL days without prior notification this person will recieve a mod note. First offendors get off. Second time I'll start looking for replacements. If there is no obvious changes then that replacement will be called in. This can change according to excuses...maybe.
[18] Days will last at maximum 14-16 RL days. Once I notice we are close to that I will start commenting on the fact, then a deadline will be imposed.
I'm sorry nights have been longer than I said they would be.
What is the point of using foul language, downright rudeness, slurs, etc on a gaming site? This is really distasteful.
