This post is just a general guideline. My whim is law. I reserve the right to change/bend/add/ignore/remove rules and invoke mod privileges at will. I AM TYRANT.
-
Votes must be in bold in this format -
Vote: Cruciare
. It would greatly help to spell your votee's name exactly as it appears, even though I may be able to interpret nicknames/abbreviations. The colon is optional. Refrain from voting people/things that are not eligible to be voted. The four letters "Vote" must exist in that order as text for your vote to count.
Unvote
in bold will remove your vote, and likewise the six letters "Unvote" must exist in that order as text for your vote to be removed. Unvoting is not necessary before switching your vote. Badly formatted votes and unvotes will not be counted. Attempted voting tricks are punishable by castration.
-
Lynching requires a majority of votes, that is, just more than half of the living players. A player who first reaches a majority of votes is considered lynched, and any further voting and unvoting attempts will not be counted. The game will go into 'twilight' until I get there to announce the lynchee's death. During 'twilight' everyone is welcome to talk in-thread until I lock it and announce the arrival of night. You may choose to
Vote: No Lynch
, and in the case that a vote for no lynch is the majority, the day will end without anyone being lynched. For a lynch to occur the town must come to a consensus before the deadline. Any modkills
may
end the day like a lynch.
-
At deadline, if there is no majority, the day will end in a no lynch, regardless of anything. All days have an auto-deadline of two weeks (14 days/336 hours). This deadline may shorten or extend as per my whim without warning. I will be reasonable (you will have at least 4 days prior knowledge of any shortened deadline), and your pitiful begging may sway me. Deadlines will be in the form of days/hours, and I will remind you as often as possible. A date in GMT will be provided, but you'll need to adjust accordingly to your time zone. Deadlines are absolute to the minute, regardless of when I come to announce it. I will look at exact post times to verify stuff if necessary.
-
Night lasts about 72 hours or three days (barring strange circumstances). If night actions are not submitted in this period of time, the night action will be forfeited for that night (with possible exceptions). Most night choices are not compulsory, including mafia kills. If you anticipate going to swim in the Amazon during any night phase, your night choice may be submitted early, but otherwise please actually wait until night to send in your night choice. No night choices can be reconsidered or resent - I will only accept your very first choice. Night actions will resolve in a particular way which I am not bothered to explain here, but you may make relevant enquiries.
-
If you once again anticipate going to swim in the Amazon for an extended period, please PM me or state as such in-thread. I do not check V/LA. Prods may be given upon request or as I see fit (typically after 48 hours of absence). Prodded people must show signs of not being eaten by piranhas ASAP. Failure to do so will result in me looking for a replacement. If you have been prodded too many times, I may have to forcibly replace you. If your vacation to the Amazon takes longer than one week, I may replace you anyway regardless of advance notice. Replacements will take the place of their predecessors at the instant I announce it, and will be given all relevant role information.
-
Do not talk to anyone outside of the thread about this game (except me) unless your role PM says you can. Do not quote or pretend to quote any out-of-thread communications regarding this game in the thread, including role PMs and other PMs from me. Paraphrasing is okay. Do not post in the thread or otherwise communicate with anyone regarding this game once you're dead. Do not post in small/hidden text or codes. Do not edit or delete posts. Do not use
or
. Do not claim you are mafia and X is your partner, regardless of whether it's true or not. And do not spoil the game for other people. Infraction of any (or most) of these will result in modkill/replacements. Those modkilled forfeit their win conditions.
-
Shocking as it seems, I do make mistakes - please point them out if you find them. Mistakes will be corrected where and if possible. Any questions or requests for me may be posted in-thread, bolded and preferably prefixed with
@Mod
. I may miss non-bolded queries. I will reply as soon as possible to the best of my ability (i.e. to whatever extent I feel like). Any question or requests may also be PMed to me, and I will reply similarly. Note however that queries/replies sent in this way may not be quoted in-thread. Don't be scared to ask about anything your puny brain doesn't comprehend, although I can't guarantee answers to setup-related questions.
