Ruleset

(in large part

shamelessly stolen

inspired and adapted from Northsidegal)

the tl;dr

1. Abide by site rules, and be mindful of your fellow players.
   
2. Plurality executions, ties are resolved by seniority.
   
3. D1 will last 240 hours, and all other Days will last 168 hours; Nights will last 48 hours.
   
4. 36 hours prods; if you are prodded, you have 24 hours to respond, and if I have to prod you three times I may replace you immediately.
   
5. I have some unusual rules about multimedia content, night prods, and last words.
   
6. Be sure to carefully read the setup-specific rules!

General

1. Adhere to all site rules.
   
2. Always play to win. This specific game, not some unspecified future one.
   
3. Claiming Insurgent by yourself is acceptable (if it isn't gamethrowing), claiming Insurgent with partners is not.
   
4. Remember that this is a game — heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not.
   
5. Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
   
6. Jingle is my co-mod. They have full mod authority.
   
7. You may use the following colours, as long as you don't do so to attempt to impersonate a moderator:
   #663399
   , which is my colour;
   #123456
   , which is Jingle's colour.
   
8. Do not quote any out of game communication regarding this game — this includes your role PM and any other PMs I may send you.
   
9. If you need to get my attention, please include "
   @mod
   " in your post or PM me.
   
10. Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text (
    size 70
    is the smallest I'll allow) in your posts. Crumbing is fine.
    
11. If you wish to include large images and/or gifs, you may do so, but you must put them in a [⁣spoiler=] tag. Posting content that include audio is
    strongly discouraged
    .
    
12. 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.
    
13. If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
    
14. If you accidentally post with an incorrect alt account, you have to immediately make an identical post with the correct account, so to preserve ISOs' readability.
    
15. My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
    
16. 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.
    
17. I reserve the right, under extraordinary circumstances, to change this ruleset. If I do so, I will acknowledge having done so in-thread.
    
18. Have fun!

Deadlines and Activity

1. The first Day will have a 240 hours (10 real life days) deadline, and all subsequent Days will have a 168 hours (7 real life days) deadline. Each Night will have a 48 hours deadline.
   
2. I may grant deadline extensions in extraordinary circumstances.
   
3. If a player replaces in during the Day with less than 48 hours remaining to the deadline, I will extend it to 48 hours.
   
4. During the Night, players may ask for a quick night by PM. If all players do and I'm not busy, the Night ends immediately.
   
5. You are expected to confirm your role PM no longer than 72 hours after I've sent it to you. If you don't, you will be replaced.
   
6. You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 36 hours. Players who go 36 hours without posting will be prodded.
   
7. 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, you will be replaced at my own discretion.
   
8. Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
   
9. If your prod timer would expire during the Night, you may respond to it by PMing me. If you do so, you also have to make a game-relevant post in the first 24 hours of the next Day.
   
10. If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 5 days or longer I may be forced to replace you.

Voting

1. All votes and unvotes for execution must be in
   bold
   or in VOTE: vote / UNVOTE: unvote tags, with vote tags being preferable.
   
2. All votes for the special "projects" mechanic must be in HURT: hurt tags. If you wish to unvote a vote for a project, just do
   HURT: nothing, or use HEAL: heal tags.
   
3. Votes in spoilers will not be counted.
   
4. If you wish to change your vote, unvoting first is not mandatory.
   
5. Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
   
6. Dabble in false votes shenanigans at your peril. If I think something is a vote, it is.
   
7. As soon as a majority of the votes is toward the same player, that player is hammered and their fate is sealed. If no majority is reached before deadline, the executee will be decided by plurality; in case of a tie, the wagon whose newest vote is older will win.
   
8. You may vote for VOTE: No Execution. Hammering No Execution requires only half of the votes, not a strict majority.
   
9. 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. As soon as I lock the thread, the hammered player will be executed and the Day will end.

Miscellanea

1. You may ask for a personal Notes PT for confessional purposes. Don't talk in-thread about you having, or not having, a Notes PT.
   
2. Once you are dead, you may no longer post in the thread or in any PT you may had access to. You will however be granted access to the Deads' PT.
   
3. You may ask to be replaced out by PM; in any case, you may not discuss in-thread the reasons you may have for replacing out. As soon as I acknowledge your request, you may not rescind it and you are no longer a player.
   
4. If you request to be replaced out, you may PM me with a "last words" message. I will relay it to your successor.
   
5. The Insurgence may concede, if all of its members agree.

Endgame

1. The Citizens will win if all Insurgents are dead and at least one Citizen is left alive.
   
2. The Insurgents will win if all Citizens are dead and at least one Insurgent is left alive, or if nothing can prevent the same.
   
3. If all players are dead, the game ends in a "Scorched Earth" Draw.
   
4. If there are no deaths for four consecutive phases, the game ends in a "Happily Ever After" Draw.
   
5. After the game has ended, the thread will be opened for post-game discussion, and everyone (including dead players and non-players) may post in it. All PTs will be released unredacted immediately.

FLAVOR

1. Flavor in the first posts of each Day may be game-relevant.
   
2. Flavor in votecounts is not game-relevant, and is there just for wordbuilding.
   
3. In all cases, I will refrain from using players' usernames in pieces of non-game-relevant flavor.
   
4. You may PM me with stuff you'd like to be published in the Journal. This is just for fun; I offer no publishing guarantee, and I won't publish anything game-relevant in this way.

SETUP-SPECIFIC

1. The groupscum is called "The Insurgence". Non-groupscum players are called "Citizens"; all players, regardless of alignment, are called "Utopians".
   
2. No player has any non-factional special ability.
   
3. Each Day, Utopia starts with a budget of $60,000 (there are ways to change this value). Any unspent money is lost when the Day ends.
   
4. Each Day, each Utopian may vote for one project to undertake from the billboard, using HURT: tags. At the en of the Day, the project that, among those which cost no more than the budget (if any), received a plurality of votes is set to be undertaken the following night. Then, if there is another legal project with the plurality of the remaining votes, that project is also set to be undertaken. Ties are resolved by vote seniority.
   
5. Some projects require targets. When one such project is undertaken, Utopians who voted for it are added to a Council PT overnight to decide its targets. If they can't make up their minds, the targets are randomized.
   
6. No project can be selected more than twice, or more than once in two consecutive Days. Development projects can't be selected more than once period, and no more than one Development project can be selected each Day.
   
7. If no project is being undertaken at Night, the Insurgence is free to do its biddings and gain $60,000. If only one project is being undertaken, there will still be little enough traffic that the Insurgence can manage to gain $20,000.
   
8. Whatch out, money you spend may end up financing Them.
   
9. Each Day, each player may send the moderator a request to give an Utopian a gift. The Utopian who received more requests for will be given a nice (but useless) gift during the Night (ties are resolved at random).
   
10. The Insurgence's factional ability may or may not be a standard nightkill.
    
11. The following is a copy of the role PM each Citizen's got:

    Welcome to

    Mini 2308: Blood over Utopia

    , Citizen YYY.

    
    

    It is time for our Congregation to set foot on our promised land, as Destiny shall.
    
    They want us dead.
    Our paradise must be built.
    
    No sacrifice too great for the greatest good of Utopia.
    ~O.

    
    
    You are a

    Citizen

    .
    You win when the Insurgents curs are no more, for the greatest good of Utopia.
    
    Please confirm by replying with a paraphrase of setup specific rule N

Sending Role PMs

[biancospino]

All PMs sent!

Starting once 11/13 have confirmed, or in (expired on 2023-07-31 01:45:00)

11 players confirmed!

[biancospino]

N.B.: I've reworded rule 4 slightly, hopefully it's more clear. What it basically means is that the two most voted legal projects are undertaken (and the legality of the second is decided after the first one is bought)

[biancospino]

DAY 1 STARTS

[JasonWazza]

VOTE: Deal with the Devil
HURT: Printing Press

[biancospino]

Reminder that the following is today's billboard:

Billboard

Investigatives

• Intelligentia ($10,000)
  -- discover number of Insurgents
  
• Autopsy ($10,000)
  -- discover alignment of a dead target.
  
• Inquiry ($40,000)
  -- discover if the mod has ever lied.
  
• Census ($50,000)
  -- discover if, among five targets, exactly two are Insurgents. This project can't be bought unless 8 players are alive and at most one Insurgent is dead.

Voting Manipulation

N.B.: all effects that would set vote weight to two or more, or that would grant extra votes to single Utopians, are disabled if the number of living Citizens is less than two greater than the number of living Insurgents.

• Mayor election ($10,000)
  -- one Utopian is elected Mayor, and their vote (both for execution and for projects) is worth one-and-a-half for the rest of the game. The Mayor can be deposed during Days if a simple majority agrees. If a new Mayor is elected, the previous one is deposed.
  
• Election Security ($10,000)
  -- tomorrow, there will be no voting tricks (all vote weights will be one, secret extra votes won't count, etc.)
  
• Appointed Jury ($20,000)
  -- 3 targets Utopians get a PT during the next Day to decide for an extra shared vote to cast for execution.
  
• Injunction ($30,000)
  -- the vote for execution of target Utopian will be worth only one-half tomorrow. This project can only be bought if there are at least 5 players.

Miscellanea

• Sacrifice ($0)
  -- if target Utopian is not an Insurgent, they die and town gets $20,000 more in tomorrow's budget.
  
• Raffle ($10,000)
  -- 50% chance that a random Citizen gets a fruit.
  
• Neighborhood Watch ($20,000)
  -- tomorrow, Insurgents have no daytalk.
  
• Marriage ($20,000)
  -- two Utopians are united in marriage (if any of them is already married, they divorce first). They gain access to a Spouses' PT. When one of them dies for any reason, the other dies of a broken hearth.

Developments

• Bureau of Investigations ($20,000)
  -- unlocks more investigative projects.
  
• Board of Elections ($10,000)
  -- unlocks more voting manipulation projects.
  
• Guildhall ($20,000)
  -- unlocks more miscellanea projects
  
• Trading Outpost ($20,000)
  -- ups the daily budget to $70,000.
  
• Printing Press ($20,000)
  -- the Journal will also publish a page detailing future projects, hinting at currently locked higher-tier actions.
  
• Assassination ($60,000)
  -- Kill target Utopian with no flip. This action is guaranteed to go through exactly as planned.

This is some high effort theme bianco, I like it

[Aureal]

I don't think I can actually post my .gif under bianco's rules because spoiler tags don't actually seem to hide it, per the post preview.

You may see it here if you wish to greeted by a singing pirate.

Use [

Here's your gif:

Spoiler:

[Cat Scratch Fever]

HURT: Bureau of Investigations

[Aureal]

HURT: Trading Outpost

Obviously after this we should use Assassination on Deal With The Devil.

[Random Nurse]

VOTE: Deal with the Devil
HURT: Printing Press

How'd you vote for Printing Press before the mod even posted the Billboard?

[Aureal]

It's been in the original post the whole time.

[Aureal]

HURT: Bureau of Investigations
HURT: Sacrifice

I'm concerned by the yellow warning for wind in the late evening.

[Aureal]

I guess we only get to vote for one project at a time, but I think those two might be a good day one set.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Can we only choose two, or can we choose as many as our budget will allow?

[biancospino]

Can we only choose two, or can we choose as many as our budget will allow?

Up to 2

projects can be undertaken each Night.

HURT: Bureau of Investigations
HURT: Sacrifice

I'm concerned by the yellow warning for wind in the late evening.

Only one project vote per Utopian is allowed. I'm counting this as a vote for Sacrifice (as a general rule, if a post contains multiple votes/unvotes either for the execution or for the projects, I will count only the last one)

[RCEnigma]

First post is scummy

VOTE: Roden

I haven’t read anything about the setup and it looks complicated so by law you can only ask me about soulreads until otherwise specified. Ty.

[marcistar]

sorry but uhm why dont we try talking about why we want what we want
it seems some of us are split.

i think cenus and something else are currently most useful but who knows :shrug:

[RCEnigma]

We get the results of everything the following day I assume? If that’s the case I like sacrifice, 3-fold benefit.

We get an immediate result, we can NoKill on it, and it doesn’t finance insurgence.

Also gonna make a leap and assume they can block projects at night.

[RCEnigma]

I like the printing press for a second option though.

[marcistar]

will you be the sacrifice then?
