GAME RULES
GENERAL
Spoiler:
-Adhere to all site rules.
-Always play to win.
-Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not. Comment on play, not player.
-Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
-Do not quote any private communication regarding this game—this includes your role PM, other mod communication, posts from private threads, etc. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you're unsure, ask me first.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "
@mod
" in your post or PM me.
-
This
(darkred) is my color. You can use it, if you want.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.
-Each day phase will last for 12 days, with night phases lasting 48 hours.
-Do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-As a general principle, whenever moderator action is required I will attempt to make the decision that has the least impact on the natural flow of gameplay. For example, force replacing instead of modkilling whenever possible.
-Have fun!
VOTING
Spoiler:
-All votes and unvotes must be in
bold
or in VOTE: tags, with vote tags being preferable.
-Votes in spoilers will not be counted.
-Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
-Lynches will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no-lynch
-Voting to end the day in a no-lynch requires only 50% of players rather than >50%.
-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.
ACTIVITY
Spoiler:
-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 48 hours. Players who go 48 hours without posting will be prodded.
-If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if I have to prod you 3 or more times, I reserve the right to replace you at my own discretion.
-Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
-If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer I may be forced to replace you.

A quiet day aboard the
Anuket Topaz
.
The crew members were concerned about the Captain. Lately, she had been acting strangely: never eating with the rest of them, being curt in conversation, and patrolling around the ship with a flashlight late at night. Nobody was actually sure that she ever went to bed.
July 5th.
The Captain ordered the crew to cut the engines and let the ship drift. No explanation was given – she made the order and retreated to her quarters, alone.
July 6th.
The crew mmebers had had enough. The strange behavior was enough on its own, but they needed an explanation for cutting the engines. Everyone had a job to do – their cargo had to be delivered on time. Nobody had seen the Captain come out of her quarters since the previous day, and so together they stormed their way in.
northsidegal,
Captain of the Anuket Topaz
, was found dead Night 0.
They were over 200 miles off of the coast of South Africa, just near the border of Namibia. It was obvious that this wasn't the act of pirates, and from the state of the body there was no way it could be an accident or suicide.
The implication was clear, and went without saying as the crewmen looked between each other with equal parts disbelief and suspicion.
Deciding to take action, someone stepped past the body over to the loudspeaker system.
Listen up! Nobody's getting a wink of sleep until we get this situation figured out and under control!
Day 1 begins.
Until further notice, there will be no night phases.

I'm trying to watch my figure
Can you do chicken fried steak?
Maybe a side salad with a citrus dressing? I don't need to get scurvy before being murdered.
