--THE RULES--

Welcome to Open 294! I am your Moderator, KittyMo. My job is to

make sure the game is run smoothly and as neutrally and fairly as possible.

I am committed to keeping the thread's information updated, along with providing frequent vote counts. (I'll try for once per page or once per day.) In order for the game to run smoothly,

all players in this game are expected to be familiar with and follow the rules

I have outlined below. If you have any questions about rules, please feel free to ask!

Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.

I. What is my job as a player?

A.

All in all, it is simply to

play the game.

You are required to

play to your win condition.

Remember to be considerate of other players and to have fun playing -- it's a game.

II. How does voting work?

A.

Votes to lynch are submitted during the day phase. They are to be formatted as:

vote: Playername

or VOTE: Playername.

B.

Votes will not be counted if they are not in this format.

Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.

C.

Please submit vote revocations as

Unvote

,

Unvote: Playername

, UNVOTE: Playername, or UNVOTE: .

D.

Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.

III. How long do Days last?

A.

This game will have

fairly strict 2 week deadlines.

This means that days will automatically end after 2 weeks of real time have occurred, and they will only end early if a lynch has occurred. The deadline may be extended, but only in special circumstances.

IV. How does a lynch occur?

A.

A simple majority of all living players must agree upon one person

for a lynch (or a no lynch) to occur. Once a simple majority is reached, no further unvoting will change someone's fate.

B.

At deadline,

if a simple majority has not been reached, the game will proceed in a no lynch.

C.

After deadline has been reached or a lynch majority has been reached, the game enters the Twilight phase (the phase of the game after Day, and before a night scene has been posted by me. )

All players including a player who is about to be lynched may continue to post in Twilight.

There is nothing else special about Twilight.

V. How do Nights work?

A.

If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline.

If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.

B.

Any player with a Night action

may instead submit a "No Action" PM

to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.

C.

If you expect to be V/LA during Night, you may send in night actions early.

D.

Nights will last approximately 72 hours.

VI. How often am I supposed to post?

A.

As a general rule you should

aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum

, to keep the game moving.

B.

Prods

of missing players will be issued automatically

after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours

of no activity.

C.

A

prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement

. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.

D.

If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.

Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging. This is often referred to as a V/LA period. If a player announces a particularly long V/LA, I may replace that player.

E.

If you don't feel that you can meet reasonable activity requirements, or for whatever reason, don't want to play the game anymore,

you can let me know that you want to replace out without repercussions.

I can sometimes work out temporary replace-outs depending on your situation (an extended V/LA, for instance.)

VII. What do I do if I notice the Moderator made a mistake?

A.

If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately.

Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.

If is a very simple error

, like an incorrect vote count,

it should be brought to the attention of the mod in the following format to make sure it is noticed:

@@Mod: blah blah blah.

B.

The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently.

Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed.

These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.

VIII. What are other things I may not do?

A.

You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.

B.

Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post, except for one single non-informational "Bah post."

C.

Dark red

and

dark blue text

are reserved for the Mod.

No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography. Spoilered text is acceptable.

D.

There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.

Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.

E.

I reserve the right as the Mod to make reasonable decisions based upon situations not covered by this ruleset. I also reserve the right to make rule changes. You will be notified in-thread if this occurs.

F.

If you have any

situation-specific questions about what is okay to do, please ask first if you're in doubt!

This will help maintain the game's integrity

Please also keep in mind that you're expected to adhere to the Forum Rules and Guidelines, made by the site creator.

Gurgi EC8

is the setup of this game. It's a Semi-open setup, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen from one of the below:

• 2 Mafia Goons, 6 Townies (12.5%)
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 5 Townies, 1 Weak Cop (37.5%)
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 4 Townies, 2 Weak Cops (37.5%)
  
• 2 Mafia Goons, 3 Townies, 3 Weak Cops (12.5%)

These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

You are a

Vanilla Townie

, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest. Although you do not have any special abilities, your voice and vote are powerful weapons in their own right. Use them to your best advantage! At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.

You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

The thread is here. Confirm in thread after you've had all necessary questions answered about your role and the rules.

You are a

Weak Cop

, and can tell the good guys from the bad.

Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate.

The Moderator will inform you as to that person’s innocence.

If that player is mafia, you will die, so be careful!

You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

The thread is here. Confirm in thread after you've had all necessary questions answered about your role and the rules.

You and XXX, who are

Mafia Goons

, are part of the local Mafia crime family. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.

During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched. During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via this QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night. One of you must send me a PM with your choice of who to kill. You may communicate privately via QuickTopic or PM with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.

You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

The thread is here. Confirm in thread after you've had all necessary questions answered about your role and the rules.

[DeathRowKitty]

@@Mod, I think I got question 2 wrong, can you post the answer to that one?

Q2 has no effect on the score.

[RayFrost]

Google imaged sparkly confirmation.



That's what I got.

/confirm

Also: 100% on the quiz.

[Fate]

/confirm

I didn't take the quiz, I'm a terrible person etc.

[RayFrost]

Fate's confirmed himself as scum.

One found. One more to go.

[DeathRowKitty]

I'm a terrible person

We all are. <3

[RayFrost]

I'm a terrible person

We all are. <3

Except KittyMo, Equinox, Nacho, Farside, and the rest of the town.

Thanks for claiming scum with Fate, though. GG all, etc.

[Fate]

*inb4 obligatory last to confirm scumtells*

This is why confirming via PM is tech. KittyMod should upgrade.

[Fate]

RayFrost is scum, once he gets a new avatar he'll be town.

[RayFrost]

I shall not fall for your jedi mind trickery.

[StrungOver]

/confirm

P-Edit... truth

[DeathRowKitty]

This is why confirming via PM is tech.

/false

If we were confirming via PM, I couldn't use this time to creepily profess my love for you.

[RayFrost]

I realized that fate

is

using jedi mind trickery. Jedi = town-aligned, so fate is town.

StrungOver + DRK scumteam, calling it now.

[DeathRowKitty]

Jedi is usually scum btw.

[Equinox]

Wait a minute. Nachomamma8's in this game? He gets an automatic pass to LyLo just for being awesome.

The rest of you are lynch fodder. <3

[RayFrost]

Or, if you want my instinctive look-at-the-playerlist-and-call-scum reads: nacho/andrew + DRK. DRK is for sure scum.

P-edit: Lies and deception.

[RayFrost]

Wait a minute. Nachomamma8's in this game? He gets an automatic pass to LyLo just for being awesome.

The rest of you are lynch fodder. <3

Do I need to replace out, replace back in on page 4, post a text wall explaining how everybody's screwing up, and then shout at you (yes, you) to get in gear to get my pass?

[Equinox]

No, please don't. I'll have an easier time reading you if you play from page 1.

[Equinox]

Besides, you lost your pass when you rolled scum, so </3.
