The Rules
1. Rules may be added, removed, or changed at my discretion.
2. If you do not post after 72 hours you will be prodded. You then have 48 hours to pick up the prod. If you do not pick it up after that time I will begin looking for a replacement. Weekends and holidays count towards your inactivity clock.
3. Deadlines for Days will be a negotiable 4 weeks.
4. Voting must be made in the format
Vote: example
. The colon is optional, as is the space between the colon and the player's name. Capital letters are also optional. Unvoting is not necessary but appreciated. Votes using abbreviations for player names, misspellings of player names, and even misspellings of abbreviations of player names will all be accepted as long as they meet the above conditions. Abbreviations of misspellings of player names will be treated as mere abbreviations. In the event that a vote is ambiguous however, it will not be counted, not even retroactively. You can vote to not lynch anyone, and the rules for that are the same as regular voting. Trick votes aren't allowed.
5. No invisible or small text.
6. To lynch you need a simple majority of votes, or 50% rounded down +1. Example: half of 9 rounded down is 4, add 1 and you get 5.
7. Discussing this game anywhere outside of the game thread itself is forbidden, unless you are specifically told otherwise in your role PM. Discussing other ongoing games in this thread is also forbidden.
8. Nights will normally last 72 hours.
9. If you die you get one contentless "bah" post. Note that if you reach the required majority needed for a lynch then you are immediately dead (i.e., claiming that your death scene hadn't yet been posted so you were allowed to keep posting content won't work). During Twilight (after lynch majority is reached/after deadline hits, before round ending scene) anyone who is alive may post content (but the lynchee doesn't count as alive).
10. Lynch majority will not be reduced at deadline. If a lynch majority is not reached at deadline, No Lynch will occur.
11. Don't quote PMs you get from me. Paraphrasing is your friend.
12. If you are going to be gone for 72 or more hours, say so in the thread, or PM me. This will naturally put your inactivity clock on hold. Do not count on me checking the V/LA thread.
13. Don't intentionally lie about out of game circumstances to gain an advantage in the game.
14. Flavor is flavor, no story clues or anything.
15. My color for this game will be
indigo
, so don't use it.
16. In the event that you are modkilled you will automatically lose, regardless of who wins or your alignment. In other words, you'll become a Neutral Survivor.
17. No lying to me about things related to the game.
18. Vote counts will be done at the top of every page starting on page 2, edited in if necessary.
19. If I make a mistake, tell me.
20. If you have a question about the rules, just ask.
21. And of course all basic game mechanics of a standard Mafia game apply, such as roles being revealed on death etc...
22. Be considerate towards your fellow player. Excessive personal attacks will result in a warning, then forced replacement/modkill.
