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  • Do not quote any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, backup moderator, or fellow players.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.
  • All Day phases will have a 7 day deadline. Night phases will last for 2 days. If necessary, extensions will be granted for the purpose of securing replacements.
  • If there is no majority at the deadline, there will be no elimination.
  • 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
    • Referencing the flavor text (in
      Italics
      ) from your role PM. You are free to claim your role name.
  • 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 the relevant listmod, .
  • 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.

Setup


This game uses a
closed
setup. The following information about the game is publicly known.

The Thing
Setup
  • 10 Humans

  • 3 Things
Mechanics
  • The
    Things
    have daytalk.
  • The roles of players
    will not
    be revealed on death.
  • Players who are eliminated during the day
    will
    have their alignment revealed. Players who die during the night
    will not
    .
  • Assimilation:
    During the night phase, the
    Things
    can choose to have one of their members "Assimilate" the nightkill. If that
    Thing
    successfully carries out the nightkill on its intended target, it will "assimilate" the alternate account of the killed player and gain control of it. The
    Thing
    will lose control of its original account, and it will flip as having died during the night phase instead.
  • There is no limit to the number of times a
    Thing
    can jump to a new account.
  • Assimilation is optional for
    Things
    . They do not have to jump to a new account if they do not wish to do so.
  • There exists at least one Vanilla Townie in this game. Non-vanilla roles may also exist.
  • Things do not have powers beyond the factional kill and assimilation.
  • Night actions will be resolved on their
    original target
    . Assimilation takes place
    last
    in the order of Night Action Resolution.
Spoiler: Night Action Resolution Order
  1. Hide
  2. Bus Drive
  3. Block
  4. Redirect
  5. Protect
  6. Miscellaneous
  7. Kill
  8. Inspect
  9. Assimilate

An action being present in this list does not necessarily mean there is a role in the game capable of performing that type of action.


Spoiler: Sample Human Role PM
Captain Blake
Image

Welcome,
Captain Blake
. You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You have no special abilities, your only tools are your voice and your vote.

You win when there are no more
Things
remaining.

Confirm by replying with your role name and one of the Anonymous Game Rules.


Spoiler: Sample Thing Role PM
Captain Blake
Image

Welcome,
Captain Blake
. You are a
Thing
.

Your partners are
[Playername]
and
[Playername]
. You may speak with them at any time in your private topic, located here:
[PT link]


Each night phase, one of you or your teammates may kill a player, removing them from the game.

Assimilate:
If you are he one carrying the factional kill, you may choose to assimilate your target. This will give you control of the killed player's account, taking it away from them. You will lose access to your current account, and it will flip as having died overnight. Usage of this ability is optional.

You win when you reach parity with the
Humans
, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Confirm by replying with your role name and one of the Anonymous Game Rules.

SPECIAL RULES FOR ANONYMOUS GAMES

Anon Game Rules
  • You are only allowed to post in this game thread on your moderator provided alternate account.
  • You are not allowed to post in threads that are not related to this game with your alternate account.
  • Slipping up on either of these will result in immediate force replacement.
  • You are allowed to change your alternate account's timezone. You are allowed to change your account's theme. I have helpfully set the themes of the alternate accounts to the lovely Sepia, but you should use a theme that is different from the one you use on your main account, to minimize the chances of alt slipping.
  • You are allowed to list your preferred pronouns on your alternate account. Do not abuse this. Do not publicly speculate on the main accounts of other users based on their pronouns.
  • You are not allowed to change
    any other
    setting for your alternate account, including avatar, signature, location, or quote. Do not try to change the account's password.
  • Do not tell others your main account. Do not even hint at the identity of your main account.
  • Do not publicly guess or speculate about the identity of alternate accounts. Do not make suggestive statements about someone's identity. (e.g. "I know who you are", "If I'm right about [player]'s main, they're in their town meta")
  • Violations of any of these rules will result in a warning or forced replacement, depending on the severity of the offense.
  • As a general rule, keep things secret, respect the secrecy of others. Don't go trying to break the game in some way.
  • Your main account
    will
    be revealed at the end of this game, so don't be a dick.

Damn, then Peta chose well. Sounds like it would be a perfect movie to be made into a mafia game, seeing as how Mafia is also based on the hit video game Among Us

I wanted to watch the movie so that I could better understand my character in order to portray him properly, but unfortunately I have learned that to truly be Lars, I would need to

Spoiler: spoiler for the first 10 minutes of the thing
scream a few sentences in Norwegian and then get shot in the head and die


so out of protest, I will not be watching the movie, and will instead be coming up with a new characterization of my own design for Lars. Please wait.

Ah, we're getting serious?

I like Lars' and MacReady's intros, probably for bad reasons. And I think Copper's is slightly more likely to come from a Thing.

Yeah, that. It's a vibe. The TBH seems self-conscious, the post itself is short and seems to be made for the sake of making it and fitting in, and the vote on a person that hasn't posted yet vibes like he doesn't want to start ruffling feathers yet.
