Rules
(Adapted from northsidegal with some edits)
General
-Adhere to all site rules.
-Always play to win.
-Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not.
-Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
-Do not quote any out of game communication regarding this game - this includes but is not limited to your role PM, any PTs you have access to, and any other PMs I may send you.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "
@mod
" in your post or PM me.
-
This
(#0080FF) is my mod color. You can use it, if you want.
-
This
(#80FF00) is my mod color in PTs. You can use it, if you want.
-
This
(#507080) is my flavor color. You can use it, if you want.
-Flavor is merely flavor.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-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.
-Day 1 will last for 10 days and all further days will last for 7 days, with night phases lasting 48 hours.
-Everyone can agree to a Fast Night to end the night earlier.
-Do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread.
You may post a single contentless "Bah!" post however.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-Speculating about why people replaced out is considered angleshooting and is discouraged.
-Try to spoiler animated GIFs and videos.
-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.
-Have fun!
Voting
-All votes and unvotes must be in
bold
or in VOTE: vote tags, with vote tags being preferable.
-Votes in spoilers and quotes will not be counted.
-Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
-Exiles will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no exile.
-Voting to end the day in a no-exile requires only 50% of players, not >50%.
-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.
Activity
-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 40 hours. Players who go 40 hours without posting will be prodded. (this prod time is experimental, and may be changed if it causes problems)
-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.
-Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
-If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer I may be forced to replace you. You may declare periodic V/LA (e.g. weekend V/LA).
-If you do not send me an action for the night, I will assume that you are not taking one.
Game Notes
-This is a Deck of Astral Roles game. All cards come from post #0 to post #299 on that thread. Some of these cards may pull from outside the Deck of Astral Roles.
-Everyone receives three cards; one for alignment, one for role, and the other to publically discard.
-Aliens not only receive a 1-shot factional kill, but also a 1-shot "alien tech" factional invention.
-Cult picks a Cult Leader during pregame. The Cult Leader will flip as such and adds to the existing role. The Cult Leader may not recruit more than 25% of the playerlist at one time, that means Cult Leaders may not attempt to recruit if at least 3 Cultists are alive.
-All Private Topics have daytalk enabled, unless a specific role overrides this.
-You may request a personal PT/notes PT. Discord Servers may be requested in lieu of personal PTs/notes PTs/hydra PTs.
-Everyone has inherent multitasking, unless a specific role overrides this. (they may use a personal and a factional action. Using multiple personal actions requires the Multitasking modifier)
-Scumteams are informed fully, they know each other's roles and may submit actions via PT.
-The setup is guaranteed to contain at least 3 Town-aligned players and at least 2 players aligned with one scumteam. If it does not, the setup will be rerolled.
-Groupscum with alive partners can't have their alignment changed by default. Alignment changes will fail by default if either the target or performer die that Night.
-Third Party wins do not end the game by default.
-Standard Win Conditions are listed here:

DoAR II will likely be:
A 17p Large Theme (or floating size Large Theme if the listmod allows it)
Using the XU, not the DoAR proper (the DoAR proper does have potential but I'm considering retconning the doublescum alignments to be Traitors)
With a modified minimum as this game might not have been proper Mafia - 2 co-aligned groupscum and more town than groupscum
Ran Micc-style i.e. pick from three games worth of cards and the mod picks the most balanced or fun of the three.

I tried to set the bar at "proper Mafia game" - but an uninformed majority arguably isn't a majority if they are outnumbered by total groupscum in a multiball game

and yeah, consider adding an aliveline to your game because of this game (I'd suggest a 24 hour aliveline where hammers straight up don't happen for a normal time game - that is Days (not Twilights, Days) can't be less than 24 hours long)

In post 526, Jake The Wolfie wrote:I think one thing you can do as a mod is to add a rule that allows you to tamper with the player's alignments if the game is wildly unbalanced.
I did that with the 3 town 2 co-aligned groupscum minimum in TL's GIM
I feel it wasn't popular so I changed it into a reroll - but rerolls are a lot more hard on mods than mod "cheats"

I will be tightening the setup restriction to more town than groupscum and serial killers in my next game - I feel that will always be considered Mafia even if it's literally just 3 town 2 mafia and a large number of third parties - and the low Town ratio is part of the reason the game was quickhammer-heavy.
