Hydra: Not today, old chum.
Alt: Most definitely. In fact, I encourage you to make a gimmick alt to match your submission.
Playerlist discretion: Please self police not playing with people you don't like to play with as much as you can. If you have an issue with a single player who signs up after you, I will decline their in. If you have an issue with multiple players who sign up after you please simply /out from the game.
Deadlines: Barring role related changes, Days will be 7 IRL days. Nights will be 48 IRL hours. Prods will be 36 IRL hours. Deadlines may be relaxed or extended, on either a global or individual level, due to Pick submissions. It is possible but unlikely that additional phases may happen, in which case deadlines for such phases will be publicly announced as soon as the existence of those phases becomes public knowledge.
DayTalk: Yes
Bastardry: I will guarantee that your role PM is complete and true at the time it is sent out. All other forms of bastardry are theoretically possible, although I will attempt to be reasonable with said bastardry and the bastardry will always be related to a role or mechanical portion of the game.
All Post Restrictions will not apply to PM communication with the moderator. Any PM based moderator communication is privileged. If I cannot answer a question, I will tell you that I cannot answer the question.
1. I reserve the right to modkill any player who would normally be force replaced due to inactivity. Post restrictions and replacements don't mix well. If you want to replace as normal in this game, I will, of course, facilitate a replacement to the best of my ability.
2. I reserve the right to make roles that may allow players to communicate via moderator with players outside of the game. All outside communication must include the game moderator.
3. I reserve the right to make roles that allow players not part of the game to post to the game thread. Anyone with permission to post in the game thread will be notified explicitly by the game moderator.
4. I reserve the right to have undue moderator influence in the game, specifically as it pertains to post game start moderator decisions required by individually created roles.
5. As this is a UPick, roles will be designed AFTER picks have been submitted. In the unlikely case that my reviewer is unable to complete a timely review (within 4 days of final setup submission) I reserve the right to start the game without reviewer approval. This will be publicly noted if it occurs.
On signing up, you must send a post restriction to the moderator. You will receive this post restriction. Roles will be created and assigned based on the perceived difficulty of maintaining the post restriction in a mafia game. Failure to meet your post restriction will result in any penalties afforded by your role, and then immediate vanilla-ization.
