(largely cribbed from Alianna but I stuck her in spec chat so she can't come after me)
General
1. Please abide by all site rules.
2. Toxic and harmful behaviour will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to:
- flaming, insulting, or directing personal attacks at other players
- use of slurs or derogatory language
- spamming
- excessive AtE
- excessive discussion of real life issues (a mention is fine, but this is not a place to vent or to go into detail)
- otherwise being a jerk or making the game unenjoyable for others
3. If you wish to replace out, request replacement via PM. Do not discuss replacing out in thread or suggest that another player replace out. Do not discuss the reasons behind a player replacing out.
4. Once you request replacement or I post that you are being replaced it is final. You cease to be a player in the game and may no longer post.
5. After your departure is announced in the game thread, you may no longer post in the game thread or any associated PTs other than the spectator PT.
6. My mod colour this game is
#4000FF
. You can use it as long as you aren't trying to impersonate me.
7. Please be mindful of other users' preferred pronouns and do your best not to misgender others. Continual or flagrant violations may result in warnings/force replacement.
8. Moderation actions will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the individual circumstances. Player alignment, of course, will not be a factor.
9. If you have concerns that moderator action is needed somewhere or that I have made a mistake (excluding minor errors like VC mistakes), please contact me via PM.
10. I reserve the right to alter the ruleset. Any rules changes will be announced in the game thread.
Activity
11. At minimum, you must post in the game thread once every 36 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded.
12. You must pick up your prod and post game-relevant content within 24 hours or be replaced.
13. If you accumulate 3 prods, you will be replaced.
14. If you are going to be absent for longer than 48 hours, please declare V/LA in thread or by PM. Players on V/LA will not be prodded.
15. Any player who does not post anything game-relevant for 4 days will be replaced. This rule applies regardless of V/LA status. If you foresee that this will be the case for you, please request replacement.
Deadlines
16. Day one has a 10-day deadline and subsequent days have a 7-day deadline. Nights have a 2-day deadline.
17. The deadline will not count down past 48 hours if a replacement is pending, and may be frozen/extended in other special circumstances pending moderator judgement. Requests for extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
18. Fast night is available if all living players, including those without night actions, request it.
Voting and Eliminations
19. Votes and unvotes must be bolded in the format
VOTE: Player
or in vote/unvote tags (VOTE: Player). Vote/unvote tags are preferred.
20. I will not count votes that are:
- unclear (use of nicknames is permitted but if I don't understand who you mean it won't count)
- improperly formatted
- in spoilers or obviously broken quotes
-
struck through
or purposely obfuscated in any other way
21. An elimination occurs when a majority (>50%) of players vote to eliminate someone. If no majority is reached by the deadline, no one will be eliminated.
22. You may vote not to eliminate anyone (VOTE: No Elimination). If the number of living players is even, only 50% of players must agree to secure a no-elimination.
23. Once the hammer vote is cast, the day’s fate is sealed. Discussion may continue into the twilight, but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.
Private Topics
24. If you would like a notes PT, you may request one but you may not directly reference its existence.
25. All PTs shared by two or more players will be released unredacted after the game ends. If you have a notes PT, it is up to you what you would like to do with it, and you will have the moderator privileges to do it yourself.
34. Did you notice this is 34 but there were only 25 points before it? Congratulations on reading the other 25 points, I hope? And also 29, it's very important because it doesn't exist.

"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Greetings! I am your moderator, the one known as AUREAL. As you may be aware, I have amassed a vast horde of names which could be used for games of Mafia! I assure you, I come by these by totally legitimate means. You can definitely trust me on that, because as you can see, I'm wearing a pirate hat.
However! There is one small problem with which I require your assistance. Much of my precious collection is missing! In fact, I believe they have been
stolen
!
I have reason to suspect that this is likely the work of the nefarious DRAGONEATER70! He has apparently run out of game names, and clearly is in the hunt to acquire more! I have tracked his minions this far by following the trail of scattered game names, but I am lazy and want you to take over for me in finding them. I think there's a hideout of those minions around here somewhere. I definitely didn't create it myself or know anything about it. I need you all to figure out who the minions are so I can stop them from stealing my game names!
Also, if you could pick up those names you find laying around and throw them back in my hoard, that would be great. It's kind of a mess around here.

Implosion rarely does rvs from the 4 games I checked. They're either quickly jumping into the game which means town or like in open 887 are quickly Mafia. It's by like almost the third post that you can tell implosions alignment. Although now that I post this it might all change. I predict implosions next post should be alignment indicative.
this is gonna be one of those games where I lurk and shitpost but have low-key perfect reads, get eliminated d1, then everyone forgets and roasts me postgame isn't it
why am I trying to solve for peoples alignments? Probably because I don't know their alignments.
Is that post trying to solve alignments or establish you as an authority on implosions alignment though? Cause I don’t see how it’s going to positively affect implos readability.
