Some Rules

0

: I am the Mod thy God. My word is final. Don’t question me.

I

: If not specifically stated by your role, you MAY NOT discuss the game anywhere other than the game thread. If I discover that you do, you shall be modkilled with a vengeance. Zappity-zap!

I.5

: You also may not quote moderator-supplied information, real or fake. As the players can’t tell the difference, I’ll just modkill you anyway.

II

: The Almighty ModGod does not fully read each post until later than you may think. As such, any pleas to the ModGod should be bolded for ease of location. Alternatively, you could go through my express communication method and PM me. I’m sure to notice and not give a shit care deeply then.

III

: The ModGod is spiteful and not likely to show mercy upon those who incur his wrath. A modkill is liable to change the gamestate from day to night if the sinner is Town, or not to if the sinner is Mafia. Other punishments can and will result.

IV

: I have reserved the mech and ooc tags for my exclusive purpose. Using these will result in my editing your post to be a lovely shade of hot pink with flowers. In the interest of public information, if I edit your post, I will use the ooc tag, but in my own posts, I’ll stick with mech.

Gameplay

V

: Votes must be either in bold or vote tags and be in the format

Vote: Xalxe

. Deviation from this format is not recommended. Any attempts to fakevote that the ModGod detects will be counted as real.

VI

: Unvoting is not required, but it pleases the ModGod.

VIII

: No Lynch is an acceptable vote. A simple majority of this vote will end the day without a death. Please note that, while the ModGod may tally votes for non-players (Xalxe, mith, The Mafia) for shits and giggles, if you are not voting for a player, you are considered not voting.

IX

: Once a player has reached a majority of votes (50% + 1, rounded) upon their person, they are dead. No unvoting can save them where they’ve gone. Please allow up to 36 hours for the ModGod to figure this out and finish them off good and proper.

X

: Bah posts are permitted, provided they contain no game-relevant information. Failure to comply will result in blacklisting and the ModGod consulting higher authorities.

XI

: Once the majority is reached, the game officially enters the Twilight stage. In this stage, you may post but votes will not be counted. Also, you will sparkle and be the focus of middle-school girls. Sorry ‘bout that.

XII

: Standard MafiaScum rules apply. No secret codes, no invisible text and no editing posts. If you're worried that something you are considering may be in violation of these rules, PM me with a query about your intended action first and i will tell you if it's ok or not.

XIII

: Natural Action Resolution will decide the….resolution of night actions in this game.

Deadlines and Such

XIV

: Deadlines will last X days, where X = (# Players/2) + 7. Deadline extensions may be granted in the event of a late replacement or a really good show.

Should deadline be reached without majority, there will be No Lynch.

XV

: Nights have a deadline of 72 hours. However, if I receive all actions before this, it may end early. Players without an action should send me a “No Action” PM in order to expedite this process.

XVI

: Lurking is bad. If you do not post for 72 hours, you are eligible for a prod upon request. Players have 48 hours to respond to prods, else the ModGod shall replace them speedily. Should a player receive 3 prods, they will be force-replaced.

XVII

: Should my subjects be troubled by such MeatWorld concerns as forbid them from posting for a period > 72 hours, they should indicate so in-thread or via PM to me in order to be spared my wrath.

Other Things

XVIII

: Play to have fun.

XIX

: Play to win.

XX

: There is no Rule 7.

Countdown: (expired on 2011-08-19 14:19:15)

[Xalxe]

As you enter the Lufthansa lounge, you look around at the others seated there. There seem to be 11 others, making you the last to join the party. A smiling man in a khaki trenchcoat and spiffy fedora bounds over to you. "Welcome, welcome, welcome!" he says cheerfully, wringing your hand. "We were just talking about you!" You smile nervously and murmur greetings. The idea that these people were talking about you behind your back...is vaguely creepy.

The man turns to address the group. "Now, as I'm sure you're aware, you're all here for a tour of our wonderful country," he says. His face takes on a grim frown as he continues. "However, the planned tour guide was...taken ill rather suddenly and fatally just this morning." Gasps are heard as the others figure out that the word "fatally" means "he or she has perished, most likely in an unpleasant yet distinctly Germanic manner." The man continues, in an effort to quell the whispers, saying "Now don't you worry, she's fine.* Today, I'll be taking you around this beautiful city of Munich. Follow me!" The group files after this enigmatic figure, who failed to put in the bit when he introduced himself. That's what he gets for making flavor scene up on the spot.

[Auckmid]

First post!

VOTE: RoboThor

[saulres]

/me is confused by finding out the planned tour guide is "fine" when the word "fatally" was used. He turns to the enigmatic figure:

"I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Regardless, are we going to be visiting the Munich Zoo? I've heard the new polar bear exhibit is quite a sight."

[JonWJ007]

VOTE: NihilisticNinja because you are on the 7th spot!

Lucky number 7!

[Maruchan]

DAMN IT I WANTED TO BE FIRST

Vote: Aukmid

for stealing my spot

[glowball]

VOTE: Auckmid

[glowball]

damnit! I was ninja'd...oh well rvs bandwagon is a go....

[saulres]

We're traveling on a bandwagon? I thought we got a tourbus

[Xalxe]

ITT the mod messes up within 3 days of game start.

The first votecount is inaccurate; there are only 12 votes in play. This is not a bastard secret doublevoter game. Thanks to the player who spotted my goof.

And now, if you look to your left, you'll see the lovely hotel Le Meridien Munich, where you'll be staying this week. The pool is most wonderful after a long day of walking!

[Nobody Special]

Vote: RoboThor

Hydrae are bad enough; robot hydrae are

so much worse.

[thunderwielder]

VOTE: saulres. For not voting to kill someone. We ARE trying to stop World War III after all...

[thunderwielder]

Plus, it can't be RoboThor! Thor is ALWAYS town!

[Amrun]

VOTE: Auckmid

For great glory!

[Nobody Special]

unvote

Vote: Amrun

I hate knit hats, and I hate the color.

[saulres]

I'm not trying to stop WWIII! I'm just trying to enjoy my vacation!

/me dodges the flying random votes and dives into the pool.

[Maruchan]

VOTE: saulres

this is the random VOTE stage! lets see some random VOTES good man!

[saulres]

/me splashes Maruchan, soaking whatever he's wearing with German pool water.

You play your way, I'll play mine

[glowball]

Why aren't you participating in RVS, Saulres?

[Maruchan]

What she said, I am curious as to your lack of RVS participation. I would understand it if you had told us you dislike RVS and therefore refuse to participate or something, but you said nothing of the sort, and even was the first participator of RVS in your first game on-site.

Just curious because I find scum usually like to save their votes until they see the most likely-to-succeed bandwagon before hoping it. (then again, conservative town hold their votes too, so I am not saying your lack of one makes you scummy)

[saulres]

I didn't realize it was a requirement. I thought it was just a way to get conversation started. I thought RPing our trip through Germany could accomplish the same thing.

I would address your point about my first game on-site but can't because it's still ongoing.

/me reluctantly climbs out of the pool, towels off his RP, and joins the throng (not to be confused with joining the thong, which would be unsightly as well as uncomfortable).

Random

vote: lane0168

because they haven't voted yet.

[glowball]

It's not required, but after looking things over I am not sure I buy your lack of RVS story. Although, I will caution not to use meta from ongoing games, Maruchan- it's a slippery slope.

VOTE: Saulres

you've earned it, also please stop RPing.

[Maruchan]

i loled. And sorry about the ongoing, I didn't realize it was ongoing. I just clicked your profile clicked your topics and saw you had one other game besides this one in it, ISOed you in it, and saw you did a RVS.

PEdit: ninja'd by glowball. Anyways I didn't realize it was ongoing, and for that I am extremely sorry. I am trying to work on mentioning ongoing games less (I have been told a few times I am toeing the line in various games ) If I had seen it was ongoing I wouldn't have mentioned it.

oh and I agree about the RP. its cutesy and all, but I just can't take it seriously. I like mod provided flavor over player provided flavor.
