My fellow Americans, as is traditional in our culture, I begin with setting the time of this speech in the year 2260. I regret to inform you that the American Presidency has been compromised. The Electoral College was confusing, so we got rid of it and just started to use the Popular Vote this year. However, we had a 14 way tie. We cannot hold a new election, there is not enough time, however, we have come up with a solution to the issue. 13 of the 14 winners have been paired with a clone of an American President of our past which most fit their personality. The newest president will be determined by eliminating the ones who may be unworthy through a vote, using the wisdom of our ancestors, and the reasoning of those 13 candidates.
It is now that I must announce that, through some error, I was paired with a clone of Benjamin Franklin, and for that reason, cannot participate in this election and withdraw my candidacy. Instead, I will preside over the proceedings and make sure that the other 13 participants reach a resolution. We will have a president when all the candidates have the same allegiance and will decide the ultimate fate of our nation.

I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.
- Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but below the belt attacks will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player.
Don't talk about ongoing games
- You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
Tiny text
- keep it 70+ please.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
- You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Days
- Days last about 14 days, starting at 8am GMT and ending at 1 PM GMT. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
Activity
- You must post at least once every 48 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
V/LA
in bold in the thread like this: [
b]
@Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
[
/b].
Proxying
- When you post v/la in the thread, you can proxy your vote to another player like so [
b]
v/la until Thursday, proxy vote to Plotinus
[
/b], then Plotinus will be able to move your vote like [
b]
YYYY votes: XXXX
[
/b], [
b]
YYYY room votes: AAA, BBB, CCC
[
/b]. I am not picky about the formatting but it needs to be clear which vote they're voting with. Your vote will be returned to your control automatically when you return from V/LA or at the end of the day phase.
Prodging
- A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
Last words
- If you replace out, you may PM me with a message to leave for the person who replaces you and I'll pass it on to them.
Quoting
- You can always directly quote
from
the public thread
into
any private threads I have given you access to, and
from
any neighbourhood threads
into
your scum PT. You can always quote yourself, unless it contains text that you haven't yourself written. Everything else must be paraphrased
in a manner that clearly indicates it is a paraphrase
. This includes but is not limited to: private mod communication including role pms and answers to questions,
from
neighbourhoods
into
public thread,
from
neighbourhoods
into
each other,
from
mafia PT
into
anywhere.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: brassherald or
Vote: brassherald
. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
v]brassherald[
/v] to vote and [
uv]brassherald[
/uv] to unvote.
Lynching
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
Twilight
- Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread: usually at the next pagetop. Later if I was afk, sooner if the flipped person requests it. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
Night
- Night lasts about 48 hours.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing that night unless you're scum in which case I'll use an algorithm to determine a fallback kill for you because inactivity nokills are lame. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
Reminders
- If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action (with the exception of the scum factional kill).
Vote Counts
- I will post a vote count as necessary twice a day, generally at 7 am and 8 pm Eastern Time. You may post "unofficial vote counts" provided they are clearly labelled as such.
Backseat Modding
- Don't do it, it just annoys me, if I miss a prod, tell me, but otherwise, let me do my job, you focus on playing the game.
Play to Win
- and have fun!
Breaking the Rules
If you break the rules, I will mod kill you. If you are town, this ends the day, if you are mafia, the day will continue. So don't break the rules.

♪ So the American experiment begins with my friends all scattered to the winds ♪
VOTE: shoshin
@brass I'm v/la on fridays and saturdays :)
Noted, I'll try to remember to add that to my notes sections of vote counts when relevant. Also, please bold anything addressed to me, much easier for me to spot.

To my knowledge, partial names should be fine. I will add Math as a nickname for Mathdino if necessary. Exact names are not needed, as long as I know who you mean.
Just did a scrub, can confirm, it did pick up Math as a vote for Mathdino.

I'm gonna slander Bernie Sanders since he'd be a shit commander
All he does is pander, thank god for gerrymanders
I'll lynch this chimp with candor til he becomes a bystander

I'm about as serious as I could be at this point, Invis. Voting on policy for behaviors outside this game seems like the most pro-scum thing so far, plus I wanted to start building a wagon since everyone was splitting the votes.
I'll take YOU to school til you accept the facts
Join my superPACs, Bern is dumb as anti vax
Relax, my impacts pack a hell of a punch
Let's axe the backs of Bernie Bros til they crack or crunch
