Rules
:
As stolen from petroleumjelly, with some slight alterations:
Rules On what is Allowable:
[01] This is only a game, and I expect everyone to remain somewhat civil (although I understand you are essentially a crazy, lynching mob). I will not accept excessive abuse upon freedom of speech: obscenity, profanity, libel, and fighting words will not be tolerated, and if you push it, I reserve the right to have you replaced. In other words, be respectful to all players, as well as the mods.
[02] Do not talk outside of this thread, unless your role PM explicitly says you may do so, and even then, you are restricted to night-time for all out-of-thread conversation.
[03] Do not edit or delete your posts in any way, shape, or form. Once you have posted something, it is there for good, unless I find reason to alter or delete your post myself.
[04] Do not quote your role PMs in any way, shape, or form.
This also applies to night conversations
. You may, however, paraphrase your PM at any time, but if you go too far, I reserve the right to either replace you or to modkill you should the situation warrant.
[05] Do not post in invisible text, excessively small text, or use [ color = black ] tags.
[06] You may request mod-prods, replacements, clarifications, and vote counts from me directly in the thread, but please precede such with a bolded
Mod: So-and-so
so that I will be able to answer you as promptly as possible.
[07] Once I have officially posted that you are dead, then you are dead. Do not post any relevant information to the game whatsoever. You are, however, allowed a typical “Bah!” post of some sort.
[08] You may talk during twilight about anything you wish.
[09] Do not question my decisions in-thread: if you have a problem with me, take it to Private Messages. You may, of course, post problems you see with my vote counts, but that’s about as far as I’ll allow things.
[10] You are allowed to have fun, and in fact, I heartily encourage it! This is a game! Play hard, play fair, and enjoy yourself.
Technical Rules
[01] Each day the town must decide on a lynch. Once a majority has been reached on a player, that player will be lynched, regardless of any subsequent unvoting.
[02] To vote for somebody, please use bold tags. For example,
Vote: Zindaras
.
[03] If you wish to unvote, I would appreciate a formal bold
Unvote: Zindaras
, although this will not be required.
[04] If the game lags, I will place a deadline, which may or may not be retractable. I will probably not let any day go past two real time months, excepting for if Mafia Scum crashes...
again.
[05] When a deadline has been placed, I will require only a majority of what would normally be a majority for a lynch (i.e. 20 players needs 11 to lynch, so I would require 6 to lynch in such a scenario). If this number is not reached, day will end in no lynch, and the game will progress directly into night.
[06] If two or more players are tied for the most votes when a deadline hits, and they have garnered the required amount of votes to be lynched under a deadline, the player who reached that number of votes first shall be lynched.
[07] You may vote no lynch if you wish. A majority voting for no lynch will end the day, and the game will progress directly into night. To do this, simply
Vote: No Lynch
.
[08] Nights will last a maximum of 5 real-time days. If you have not sent me a night-choice by that time (should you have one), you will have no night action.
[09] If you feel that you may not be able to post in-thread for a period of 72 hours or longer, please say so in-thread and send me a PM as warning. If I find it necessary, I will have you replaced, but I would much rather keep all players who sign up for any of my games.
[10] Any and all of these rules are subject to change at my discretion.
Important
: The vanilla role PM is as follows (there may or may not be vanillas in this game):
Welcome to Evil Genius Mafia, [name].
As a lowly
Minion, Evil Genius Aligned
, you are the backbone of the Evil Genius's plans, whether it's by building his base, keeping his other minions in good shape, doing his research, or defending it from intruders. You have only the power of your vote and your voice.
You win when all threats to the Evil Genius are eliminated, and at least one Evil Genius aligned player remains.
Please confirm that you have received this role by PM.
