But then the Drab colors came in; no one noticed them at first. Suddenly Sparkly Rainbow Town wasn't quite so Sparkly.
Roy G. Biv, the town Mayor, was found in the town square, shredded into countless multi-colored pieces. It was not a pretty sight.
Your job, Rainbow Citizens, is to find the Drabs and LYNCH them. As colorfully as you can.
Let's have some Rainbow Rules, shall we?
1) I am the Mod. I am always right, rarely mistaken. Yet still human (more or less). If you see a mistake, let me know. My color is BLUE. You may not post in BLUE or DARK BLUE* (sigs excepted). If you do, I will get angry. You really don't want to see me angry. (*Dark Blue added 9-24-09)
2) If you need my attention, post something in
3) Alternately, you may send me a PM.
4) You may NOT quote anything I say outside of this thread. Paraphrasing is fine. You may quote me in the thread.
5) Posting: Please post in the thread. I don't like lurkers, although I do acknowledge that lurking is seen by many as a viable strategy. You probably will be prodded by PM after 72 hours of non-posting; if so, I will post your prod in the thread. If I miss a prod, and you wish to request that someone be prodded after 72 hours without a post, please do so in
6) Posting at Night: There will be no posting at Night, because the thread will be locked. If your Role PM says you may talk to some other player at Night, you may do so. If not, not. Simple? Yes.
7) After being lynched or otherwise drained of life, you may make one short “Bah!”-type post.
8) Voting: Only votes in the proper format will be counted as valid. Proper format is as so:
9) Unvotes, if used, should be bolded. Unvotes are not required before voting, but helpful.
10) A lynch will occur when a player receives a majority of possible votes (half the number of the surviving players rounded down plus one). Once a player is lynched, the game enters Twilight and no further Votes or Unvotes will be counted. Night occurs when I announce the lynch and lock the thread. During Twilight you may post using your discretion; no voting shall occur. The lynched party may not post during Twilight.
11) You may, if you so choose, Vote No Lynch. If there is a majority of No Lynch votes, Day will end at that time.
12) I will do my very best to post a VoteCount at least once per page.
13) Days will have a deadline of two weeks. Nights will last 48 hours (72 hours if any part of Night falls on a weekend). If there is no majority at the end of Day, there will be No Lynch. Any Night actions not communicated prior to Night's End will be forfeited. Deadline extension requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
14) Role PMs have been sent. Please confirm by PM. If you are a Vanilla Townie, you will have received this:
Welcome to Rainbow Town Mafia! You are a townie. You have no known allies. You are pro-town, and win when all anti-town players are dead. At night, you take no action. Please confirm by PM.
15) If you are Mafia, you will have received this:
Welcome to Rainbow Town Mafia! You are a Mafia Goon. You are allied with ____________. You are anti-town, and win when the Mafia controls the Vote. At night, you may communicate with members of your faction and collectively attempt to kill another player. Please confirm by PM.
16) Other players may have received role PMs describing other normal mafia roles, including but not limited to cop, doctor, vigilante, serial killer, mason, role-blocker, traitor, poisoner, survivor, miller, and godfather.
17) Once all players have confirmed, Day 1 will start and I will unlock this thread. Day 1 is the first phase of the game. If a player has not confirmed by 5 pm Friday, September 25, they will be replaced.
18) Have fun!!
