1. Obey all Site-wide Rules.
   
2. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
3. You may not quote private communication of any kind. This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
   
4. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.

Activity/Prods/Replacements

1. Prods of missing players will be issued after 24 hours of no activity.
   
2. A prodded player has 12 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
   
3. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
   
4. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 24 hours please PM me or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
   
5. I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.

Deadlines

1. Deadlines for this game will be 72 hours per Day Phases. Night Phases will last 24 hours.
   
2. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
   
3. 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.

Player Actions/Voting/Player Death

1. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for an Elimination to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Elimination will occur.
   
2. Votes must be bolded or use the [.vote] tags to be counted (e.g.
   Vote: Player
   or VOTE: Player).
   
3. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
   
4. You may
   Vote: No Elimination
   - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without an Elimination.
   
5. Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at my discretion. Fake vote gambits should be executed at your own peril. If I think its a vote, then its a vote.

Thanks to everyone for playing. I hope you enjoyed the game!
The thread is now open for post game discussion.

[Micc]

You're all very welcome. Big thanks to Jingle for the backup, and to Ircher and Gypyx for the review.

I'm welcome to feedback about the game. Setup wise I'm just looking to have something simple for this type of game and let the blitz deadlines be the main attraction. I think being around the holidays, this was probably not great timing for the game...but the good news is that I'd like to run more if there's interest with the next one starting around January. If anyone wants to pre-in for that or make recommendations feel free to post them here or shoot me a PM.

[Micc]

Review thread still private, Micc.

I'd be interested in that mostly to see why they thought JK 9er didn't need town power to bridge the gap from open to closed, but I think the game was pretty solid. WP all!

Released now, but there was essentially no discussion. When I considered this question during design I came to the conclusion that everything approximately evened out since the JK vs goons Newbie setup has historically had slightly favorable town win rate.

[Micc]

Odd. Usually the transition from open to closed is seen as scumsiding. I'd love for Irch or Gypyx to share their thoughts if they're paying attention.

maybe I'm not quite following what you mean, but I think it works out?

The open setup is slightly town favored by historical win rate. Making it closed is scum favorable. My thought was those things approximately balance out.

-Insert disclaimer about balance being by far my weakest and least favorite aspect of modding games-
