RULES
(stolen and modified from Kdub)
General Rules
A1) The mod's decisions are final.
A2) If you feel that I have made a mistake or otherwise have questions, you may send me a PM or post a bolded message in thread like this:
Mod: (message)
.
A3) You may not discuss this game outside of the game thread unless your role allows you to do so.
A4) You may not discuss other games still in progress in the game thread.
A5) If you are dead, you are allowed one “Bah!” post, but you may not post any content or communicate with living players about the game.
A6) You may not quote or pretend to quote private communications with the mod or other players. You may paraphrase, but you should check with me first if you are unsure if you are crossing the line.
A7) You may not post in invisible text, encrypted text, or any other form of communication that is intended not to be easily read by all players.
A8) You may not edit any posts.
A9) Please do not post in
blue
text.
A10) If you are modkilled, you lose the game, even if your faction eventually wins. I will decide whether modkills end the day.
A11) If you want to do something which you think might break the rules, PM the mod and ask first.
A12) I reserve the right to add rules or make exceptions to any existing rules if I feel there is a situation that requires the mod to intervene.
Special Rules: Voting
B1) Votes must be PMed to the mod.
B2) You may change your vote until the deadline for Day.
B3) There is no lynch majority. The person with the most votes at the start of Day will be lynched.
B4) You may vote No Lynch in place of a person.
Special Rules: Deadlines and Activity
C1) Deadline for day will be 1 week + the length of Rule C2. This may be extended by popular vote for a maximum length of 2 weeks.
C2) Days will end 72 hours after the mafia kill is resolved.
C3) Deadline for night will be 48 hours. Players may submit their night vote early if they wish.
C4) The official vote count will be posted in the morning with the lynch.
C5) I will try to prod players when they have not posted for 48 hours. Players may also request prods on other players. All prods will be announced in thread.
C6) If a player does not respond to a prod within 48 hours, or if they need to be prodded too often, they will be replaced. This will be up to the discretion of the mod.
C7) If you will be unable to post for over 48 hours, inform the mod through PM or in the game thread. All V/LA notifications will be made public by the mod unless the player has already done so.
Special Rules: Action Submissions
D1) Action submissions occur during the Day.
D2) The mafia kill may occur any time after 48 hours from start of Day. Once the mafia kill has occurred, there will be 72 hours for discussion before the end of Day. (see rule C2)
D3) The town PRs may submit their action at any time, but they should be aware that the mafia may get their kill in early. The town PRs should therefore submit their actions in a timely manner.
D4) Actions may be pre-submitted for the following Day phase and will count as being submitted immediately at the start of that Day.
D5) Natural Action Resolution will be used to resolve multiple actions that would otherwise resolve simultaneously.
D6) During the "twilight" period between the end of Day deadline and when the mod officially ends the Day, players may continue to post.
Sportsmanship
E1) Remember, mafia is a team game. Always play to you win condition.
E2) Do not invoke external non-mafia factors (i.e. threats, wagers, or demands not related to this game) in an attempt to influence the game.
E3) Avoid personal attacks on other players.
E4) Treat this game as a commitment and try to stay active out of fairness to the other players.
Other Notes About Setup
F1) Mafia may only discuss privately from the start of Night until the resolution of their kill the next day.
