obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
do not discuss the game in any capacity outside of this game thread unless your role gives you explicit permission to do so. if you are allowed to do so, I will provide you with a private topic where you can do so.
do not harass other players in this game. while a certain level of confrontation and argumentation is typical in Mafia games, do not bring personal vendettas or outside influences into the game. additionally, do not harm or threaten to harm any person.
game conduct:
play to win the game. there is a chance that you will lose the game, but do your best to avoid that, and do not deliberately throw the game.
do not use the color #8C0000.
do not use any sort of cryptography, hidden text, or other similar methods to hide information in the game thread unless your role explicitly states that you may do so. if you are unsure of what is not allowed, PM me for clarification.
do not quote information from private threads or from the moderator.
joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
at the beginning of the game, you will receive a role PM. please confirm by telling me your alignment and any players whose alignment you know.
if you will be away from the site for a set period of time, please post in the thread letting the other players know this and PM me, and update the "Vacation / Limited Access" info in the User Control Panel. I will be more lenient regarding inactivity if you are V/LA, but I may need to replace you if you will be gone for an extended period of time. if you are regularly V/LA at certain times (such as during the weekend), you only need to do this once.
if you do not post for 72 hours or more, I will prod you (or send you a reminder to check in when possible if you have announced that you are V/LA); failure to respond to prods or needing to be prodded repeatedly throughout the game might result in a replacement.
if you need to be replaced for any reason, you may message me with information to be passed on to the player who replaces you. this isn't mandatory, but if there's strategic advice you'd like to offer to whomever replaces you, you can do this.
gameplay:
living players may vote to lynch living players by writing
vote: player
or VOTE: player in the game thread. you may also vote for no lynch.
once the majority of living players are voting to lynch a player, that player will die.
if you have died, please do not post in the thread anymore. you are not officially considered dead until I announce your death in the game thread.
each day has a three week deadline. if the deadline passes and no majority has been achieved, the day will end without a lynch.
sample role PMs for both the town and the mafia are included at the bottom of this post.
moderator responsibilities:
I will not edit your posts unless your post breaks the rules in such a way that information needs to be removed from it or quotes a post that does that, or you ask me to edit it to fix a broken tag. I will provide a brief explanation of the edit and, in cases of fixing broken tags, will end the post with a spoiler containing the complete original text of the post.
if you have a pronoun listed on your account, I will use that to refer to you. otherwise, I will default to referring to you as "they"/"them". if you do not have a pronoun listed on your account but wish for me to refer to you using some other pronoun, message me to let me know.
I will do my best to keep the game running as smoothly as possible, but there will be times when I'm not around. I should be able to update the game at least once a day, and I will let you know if I believe that might change.
I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
the most important, most fundamental rules of all:
remember the Midnight Amendments:
be cool.
c’mon.
nice.
thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.
