Rules (format and majority of rules shamelessly stolen from Juls):
Game Mechanics
1.)
Votes must be
bolded
or contained within vote tags and in a form similar to Vote: Playername. If I do not see your vote, it will not count. Unvotes are nice but not required.
2.)
Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread. All players who are allowed communication outside of the thread
must wait until the moderator states in thread, quicktopic, or PM that communication may commence.
3.)
Lynches require a majority of votes (50% of the active players +1). If a 50% + 1 majority is not reached by deadline the game will progress to night with no lynch.
4.)
Voting for
No Lynch
require only 50% of the vote to occur.
5.)
If a lynch occurs, the game enters twilight and players may continue to talk in thread until it is locked and a lynch scene is posted. No votes/unvotes will count in twilight.
6.)
Once you are killed/lynched you may have a single "bah" post consisting of the word “bah” and that’s it.
Deadlines/Activity
7.)
Deadlines for each game day will be 2 weeks.
8.)
If a replacement is required within the second week of a deadline period, 24 hours per RL day it takes to find a replacement will be added to the deadline of the current day.
9.)
Treat this game as a commitment. If you are going to be V/LA please post in thread or send me a PM.
10.)
Players must post
every 48 hours
(unless they have noted V/LA) or they will be prodded. Weekend days count as 12 hours each. An excessive amount of prods during the game will result in a replacement. Players may request prods of other players at anytime but I will use my discretion when sending these types of prods (I won't be your personal spam-bot).
11.)
If a player fails to pick up their prod within 48 hours they will be replaced.
12.)
Each night will last approximately 48 hours, during which time all night actions must be submitted via PM.
General
13.)
All Mafia Scum Rules apply in this game. Please read and obey them.
14.)
Have fun and be respectful to your fellow players.
15.)
Do not speak about this game outside of the thread unless your role specifies that you may do so.
16.)
Do not quote anything from the moderator that is said outside of this thread (including role PMs) or pretend to quote anything from the moderator. Paraphrasing is allowed but if you are questioning your paraphrase, run it by the moderator first.
17.)
If the moderator makes a mistake, please address your grievance
in bold
in thread or in PM. Please point out vote count errors in thread only.
18.)
Do not edit posts. Do not use invisible text. Do not use small text.
19.)
Do not use cryptography.
20.)
Purple
is the moderators color. Do not use it.
21.)
The moderator reserves the right to add/change/delete rules. If this occurs, a notice will be posted in thread.
22.)
If a role PM or other game rule is misunderstood by the player or a rule is not made completely clear, the moderator reserves the right to correct the rule or PM based on its intent. The moderator guarantees that changes or corrections of these nature will be considered for overall fairness and game balance.
23.)
Most importantly, play to win. Gamethrowing will not be tolerated.
Game Specific Rules
1)
This game has partial no reveal. This means that character name and alignment color only will be posted. The color
green
will be what is typically considered to be town. If you are color-blind let the moderator know so he may state it more explicitly.

The thirteen of you (a magically unlucky number) have assembled outside the Magic Castle, the repository of much of the history and lore of modern magic. Outside the beautiful Victorian building lies the broken casket and remains of Harry Houdini. Who would dare do such a thing to both the remains and memory of the world's greatest magician? And why would they do it? The only thing clear is that it is a portent of something very dark indeed, a threat to the Magic Castle and the way of life of the average magician.
Day 1 will begin when 11 of the 13 players confirm via PM

A majority of you decide that springlullaby must be behind this assault on magic and together you grab her and hold her as you fill a milk can with water. You jam her inside and padlock the top; the can rattles around as springlullaby desperately tries to find a way out but this isn’t a gimmicked milk can and there’s no escape. Slowly the noise and motion from the can dies down and you unlock the top of the can and tip the can over revealing…

You all assemble the next day outside the Magic Castle and there’s a body lying face down in the grass outside. One of you with a strong stomach rolls the corpse over and the majority of you retch as the body has a large crater in their chest and their heart has been removed. You slowly scan up to their face to find…

You really need to find out who is behind this and stop them.

A near majority of you come to the conclusion that Riggs must be at least partially behind this egregious assault on magic. And Riggs conveniently confesses to his part in trying to bring down the Magic Castle. You drag him over to the large box in the corner and begin sawing it in half, but this is no trick this is reality and the now bisected corpse falls out of the box revealing…

Sylvia Browne sawed in half D2
It is now Night 2. Any and all night actions are due 48 hours (Wednesday October 12th @ 3:00 pm Eastern) from now.

And a new day begins and all of you rise and assemble in the common room of the Magic Castle. A quick head count reveals that all of you that were alive to start the day are still alive now; how wonderfully peculiar.
: Is this plan okay? I think it would count as a paraphrase.

Paraphrasing is restatement in his own words; what you're asking for is a very limited form of quoting and thus disallowed. Please try to bear in mind the difference if you continue down this line of questioning/discussion.

And a majority of you decide that Fishythefish must be one of the ones trying to destroy the history and future of magic. You suspend him over a bed of spikes and while he struggles to be free of the restraints he can’t and soon falls brutally upon the gleaming, sharpened metal below revealing…

David Blaine impaled D3
It is now Night 3. Any and all night actions are due 48 hours (Wednesday October 17th @ 10:00 am Eastern) from now.

You all assemble the next day outside the Magic Castle and there’s not just one but two bodies on the front lawn. This can’t be good. You roll the first body over and there’s a large gap in the chest and pearing inside you can tell that the heart has been removed. And the second body that you roll over has a gunshot wound right between the eyes…
