Ruleset

(shamelessly taken from Hectic by way of Prism, with my own modifications)

1. Fundamentals

• All site-wide rules apply. Read and respect them.
  
• This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. This might be the most important rule.
  
• There is no personal communication regarding this game outside of this gamethread & associated PTs.
  
• Do not quote any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, backup moderator, or fellow players. Do not reference timestamps of private communication.
  
• Do not engage in the use of trust tells.
  
• Heated discussion and debate is allowed, but personal attacks are not. I reserve the right to protect my players, and all other community members. Please PM myself and the backup moderator if you feel something needs our immediate intervention.
  
• If you make a post indicating that the game is having a negative impact on your out of game relationships or well being, you will be warned or forcibly replaced, depending on severity. If you believe the game is having a negative impact on your life, send me a PM rather than posting about it in the game thread.
  
• Play to your Win Condition.

2. Phases & Activity

• Please post at least once every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. If you fail to respond to said prod within 24 hours, you will be replaced.
  
• Contentless "prodges" do not count for the purpose of resetting the prod timer.
  
• At the time you would receive a third prod, or fail to respond to a prod by posting in thread within 24 hours (or by PM if at Night), you will be force replaced.
  
• Day 1 will have a 10 day deadline and all subsequent Day phases will have a 7 day deadline. Nights will last 48 hours. If necessary, extensions will be granted for the purpose of securing replacements.
  
• Votes must not be spoilered and should be in the format of VOTE: Player or
  Vote: Player
  , or they will not be counted. Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as I can discern who you were voting for without trouble. If I think it should count as a vote, it will.
  
• Unvoting is not required, but is much appreciated.
  
• The following is a list of outlawed shenanigans:
  • Using invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
    
  • Editing your posts (if you have the power to do so)
    
  • Quoting any PTs you may have access to
• If any of these offenses are committed, I have the right to force-replace you from the game, or, with listmod permission, modkill you.

3. Miscellaneous

• Do not impersonate the moderator.
  
• Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM myself or Prism. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.
  
• I have the final say on any issue. If you disagree with any action or inaction taken by me, feel free to PM myself or a listmod who is not playing in this game.
  
• While I have tried to be thorough, I reserve the right to take corrective action with or without warning for any issue I feel was omitted in this ruleset.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am here to sheep Cephrir SHAMELESSLY

but he hasn't voted yet so this will have to do

VOTE: SCRRRRRRRRRRRRRDBEAR

[Somnus]

Who put me at the kid’s table for Thanksgiving???

VOTE: cake because hungry.

[Cephrir]

I am in a hood with the Scared Bear and Somnus!

I think we should eliminate from the bigger hood today!

VOTE: Dannflor

I'm surprised no one has said yet that this is a bad take

Am I wrong in thinking it is a bad take?

[Cephrir]

I am here to sheep Cephrir SHAMELESSLY

but he hasn't voted yet so this will have to do

VOTE: SCRRRRRRRRRRRRRDBEAR

Finally the proper order finds the universe

[Dannflor]

my instinct is also that it is probably better to eliminate from the smaller hood first

but I uh wanted to see what other people said first

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've seen this setup get played 3 times and the town lost both times they eliminated small hood and won the time they eliminated in the big hood

i think we should just yeet whoever is the scummiest and dont care about which hood they happen to be in

[Cephrir]

My first scalding hot take is that Radja would not have divided the hoods like this and is therefore town

I feel like this is the work of someone up on site culture

[Somnus]

I'm going to try and get all annoying setup spec out of the way in one post and then just focus on scum-hunting.

I don't particularly care which neighborhood we eliminate in today. Before signing up for this game, I did some brief research on the setup. It's been run 3 times, and a certain scum!magical bear appears to have been eliminated on Day 1 the first time it was run, ending the game mechanically, since he was in the bigger neighborhood. As was mentioned, the next 2 times it was run, scum won and the Day 1 elimination was in the smaller neighborhood. Not much of a sample size to go by. I'd rather just scum-hunt.

Thoughts?

[Dannflor]

no thoughts head empty

[Cephrir]

I guess if we go for the small hood the big hood scum knows for a fact their partner will not be alive at endgame so all they need to do is bus really well to win

[Dannflor]

I think we should eliminate from the bigger hood today!

feels like scum in the smaller hood might be slightly more likely to be self-conscious about being in the smaller hood and having attention focused there? ergo... scum in the small hood might be slightly less likely to say this as it is quite *obvious* in directing attention away from the smaller hood?

[Somnus]

See? You do have some thoughts after all!

[Isis]

My first scalding hot take is that Radja would not have divided the hoods like this and is therefore town

I feel like this is the work of someone up on site culture

r u perspectiv slipping the partnershipness of the hoodification bcos ur town
