- Be respectful. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself eliminated if you try it.
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.
Text
- Text should be legible (keep it 70+ please) and should not be hidden behind cryptography. Breadcrumbing is fine.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
Confirmation
- You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if 7/9 players confirm. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Days
- Day 1 will last 10 days. Each following Day phase will last 7 days. Night will be 48 hours. Extensions may be granted at my discression.
Activity
- You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night. You will also be replaced if you are prodded 3 times total
Vacation/Limited Access
- If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare V/LA in bold in the thread like this:
@Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
Prodging
- A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer.
Replacement
- PM me if you wish to be replaced out. Angleshooting (speculating on alignment because of replacement) is not permitted.
Quoting
- You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
Notes PT
- Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format
VOTE: Marashu
or
Vote: Marashu
. 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 VOTE: Marashu to vote and UNVOTE: Marashu to unvote. Votes in spoiler tags will not be counted.
Elimination
- Eliminations will be by majority. If there is no majority by deadline, then there is No Elimination.
Night
- Nights will last 48 hours unless all living players request fast night.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM or PT. Actions must be received by the deadline. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
Claiming Scum
- by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
Rule Changes
- I may add or modify additional rules at my discretion. Everyone will be notified via PM if this happens.
Play to win
- this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!
I might try and come up with some shtick for this game. For my own amusement if no one else's. But on the plus side, I've managed to post before page 10 this game so this is already an outstanding effort from me.
VOTE: MegAzumarill obviously

Tbh I never really got the appeal of sk. It's just scum, just without friends. Sad life.
It's freeing in a way, noone expects you to win so losing doesn't feel as harsh. Even more so your team is just you, so you're free to play however you'd like to get your win without holding back your team by playing riskily.
Also an inevitable win feels so much more cathartic since it was explicitly and only you against the world yet you overcame it.
