- Don’t be a dick. 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.
Animated GIFs
- are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
Tiny text
- is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
Claiming scum
- by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
- You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Phases
- Heaven and Hell phases last 7 days; Martyr decision phases last 5 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
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.
Prodging
- A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
Quoting
- You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
Vote: Plotinus
. 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 [
v]Plotinus[
/v] to vote and [
uv]Plotinus[
/uv] to unvote.
Elimination
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to eliminate somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline, plurality will take place. Ties will be broken by whoever had that number of votes first being eliminated.
Twilight
- Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
Play to win
- this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

The game cycles between hell phase and heaven phase, starting with a hell phase.
There will be an elimination in each phase.
Sinners
win if 2
Sinners
are sent to heaven,
Saints
win if 2
Sinners
are sent to hell.
If a
Saint
is sent to hell, they will go to the Judged PT. However, if a
Sinner
is eliminated in Heaven or Hell phase, they will remain in the Sinners PT, unable to talk in the main thread.
If a
Saint
is sent to heaven, they gain access to the Martyr PT, unable to talk in the main thread.
When the number of
Sinners
and
Saints
among the Unjudged (alive) players is equal, a Judgement Day occurs, in which all Martyrs decide on a player to send to hell. If that player is a
Saint
, the
Sinners
win. If that player is a
Sinner
, the game moves to a hell phase.
The setup is also reproduced in full here. If I've contradicted the wiki page anywhere, it wasn't intentional, so please tell me either in the thread or in a PM.

Actually, thought of it as more maf-sided
A saint going to hell is a benefit as it means one less martyr and one closer to their secondary win con
A sinner going to hell is a problem for them as you'd expect
A saint going to heaven might as well not happen, it just makes the sinners closer to their 2nd wincon, and closer they are to that, more they can influence.
A sinner going to heaven literally is their main objective
Insert an uncreative signature here. Maybe one day, maybe one day. Well at least it has colour.
Basically, only 1 option makes the saints get closer to their win-con, while 2 make the sinner closer to their win-con. a Saint going to heaven has both benefits and disadvantages for both teams. A: More Time for Saints to take out Sinners in hell B: Sinners get more influence and closer to their 2nd win-con.
Insert an uncreative signature here. Maybe one day, maybe one day. Well at least it has colour.
But from the history- the setup seems town sided.
And yeah, saints definitely start with an advantage, so if they are good enough they can win pretty easily.
White-Flag is a fucking bitch for scum, everyone knows that.
But without white-flag yeah scum might actually have the advantage.
It's a pretty hard to balance setup idea, in all honesty.
Insert an uncreative signature here. Maybe one day, maybe one day. Well at least it has colour.
grim: yeah this could be a mafia-sided setup. i think its a setup where townhunting is prob strictly better tho since half the game we want to find and vote townies.
