1. Site Rules apply.
2. You may not quote your role PM, you may not quote any other PMs from me, and you may not quote the time at which I sent you any PM, nor may you attempt to prove any form of private communication in any way. See more information here.
3. Please don't try to impersonate the moderator.
4. If you have a question or concern, or if you think that I may have made an error, do not hesitate to ask in-topic or by PM. Be sure to bold requests directed at me so that I see them.
5. If you break any of these rules, you could be warned, force-replaced, or modkilled, depending on the severity of what you did.
6. If a player is modkilled, they will die and become a Neutral Survivor resulting in their loss.
7. Please be respectful and kind towards other players. I understand that Mafia can be a heated game sometimes, but there is a line, and if you cross it the game stops being fun. In particular, personal attacks are not allowed. Also, use people's preferred pronouns, as site rules indicate.
8. Once you die you may not post anymore.
9. No encryption please. Breadcrumbing is fine, but things like encrypting your role into scrambled text are not. If you have any questions about what does and does not violate this rule, feel free to ask me, and I will answer.
10. Don’t claim scum with another player in a serious manner. I will judge what counts as serious; don't toe the line. Claiming scum by yourself is fine, but please don’t lose the game intentionally by doing so.
11. Don’t work against your win condition.
12. Don’t use provable randomness. Saying “I rolled a dice and it landed on 2” is acceptable; posting a screenshot of you using random.org, or using dice tags, is not acceptable.
13. Never use OGI/outside game influence, including trust tells and discussing the game outside the thread. See more information here. Also, don't use AI such as ChatGPT to write posts.
14. If you want to replace out, PM me and don’t discuss it in thread. See more information here.
15. Use your common sense; I try to include as much as I can but this is probably not an exhaustive list of all things you are not allowed to do. I would caution against any kind of angleshooting.
16. I reserve the right to change any of these rules or any of the time, or make any judgement irregardless of what these rules say (although I will try to follow what I have said here as closely as possible.)
17. The spirit of these rules is what counts, not the exact wording. If you find a loophole in these rules, don't be surprised when you get punished anyway.
18. This is a Normal game, which means it will follow the normal guidelines outlined here. Additionally, this game is a Simple Normal, which limits the roles and modifiers in the game. Please find more information here.
Voting, Elimination, and Deadlines:
19. As with any mafia game, you can vote for a player to get them eliminated, you can vote for a No Elimination, or you can not vote at all.
20. Votes to eliminate must use the bold tags or the vote tags, like this: VOTE: X or this:
Vote: X
.
21. An elimination requires a majority (over 50%) vote. For example, when there are 13 players alive, it will take 7 votes to eliminate, because that is the smallest number over 50% of the number of players. A no elimination only requires 50% of votes.
22. Day 1 has a deadline of 14 days and subsequent days will have a deadline of 10 days.
23. When an elimination is reached or deadline expires, I will lock the thread and start the Night phase as soon as I can. You are allowed to post before I do this, if you want.
Prodding and Activity:
24. If a player fails to post for 48 consecutive hours, they will be prodded. If that player does not post for another 24 hours after they've been prodded, they'll be replaced.
25. If you are going away, or if you have limited access to the site, notify me by pm or in-topic so that I know not to prod or replace you. The maximum amount of time you may go without posting due to V/LA is 96 hours (four days).
No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.
Role PMs have been sent out. The game will begin when 11/13 players have confirmed their Role PM. Players have (expired on 2023-12-21 20:59:13) to confirm their Role PM before they will be replaced.
Edit: 11 confirmations have been received, the game is beginning now.
No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.
Is be a hypocrite if I said I think you should never sheep people.
I think it's extremely bold to say you're doing it so early without any indication if whether that person is Town/Scum. (This is NAI, just not something I'd do)
I'm okay sheeping people if I town read them and think they have good points, but that would usually come later in the day for me.
While I could see merit in sheeping someone to get a read on them to see what they do with that power you've given them, I think I'd personally rather try and find other ways of getting that information, rather than accidentally blindly handing my sword to scum
Do I think its necessarily scummy? Not always
Would I do it so early? Probably not.
there's other reasons for Dragoneater to state the sheeping comment other than what comes across at face value. They could be reaction testing me. They could be trying to setup an early pocket (I think this is rather bold if so because it would always illicit some people attacking the idea).
