Special rules:
This game contains several artifacts (items); I'll explain here how they work in general, but the description of individual artifacts can override this default explanation, though. Unless an artifact's description states otherwise, using it is a night action. If the description starts with "You may" means each
player
may use that artifact once. If it starts with "Once in the game, you may", that's once for the
artifact
for the entire game; once it's been used, the artifact either becomes useless or disappears.
Everyone's night action comes in up to three parts, which is also roughly the order night actions resolve in. You may use any, none, or all of the ones at your disposal:
1. You may use the ability of
one
artifact in your possession.
2. If your role has a special ability, you may use it.
3. You may give
none, some, or all
of your artifacts to other players. There's no particular restriction on who you give them to; if you're giving away more than one, you can give them to the same or different people.
When a player dies, the artifacts in their possession at the time lose their power and are destroyed, and are revealed and have their powers explained. If you die at night, the artifacts you had at the beginning of the night are destroyed.
The townie with artifact role PM looks like this:
You are but a traveler with a trinket: you have no special abilities, but you do have
(item name)
. (item abilities).
You win when the evils are gone. Confirm and send your Night 1 action(s) by PM.
The townie without artifact role PM looks like this:
You are but a traveler, with nothing beyond yourself to bring to the journey.
You win when the evils are gone. Confirm and send your Night 1 action(s) by PM.
General rules:
Standard rules apply, with the following exceptions/extensions:
Notify me (Don't just post in the vacation thread, post here or pm me) if you're going to be unavailable for more than 48 hours. Commitment to 12 other people, blah blah blah. 96 hours without a post (Or a good reason to be gone) will get you prodded, 48 hours without a reply will get you replaced.
Private messaging is the preferred method of communication with the moderator for night choices, questions, and the like. If it appears there's a problem, pm me. There may not be.
Players whose choices I do not receive by the end of the night will be considered to take no action, unless they must perform some action, in which case the target for any and all required actions will be chosen at random.
One may vote: no lynch, and a majority of such votes will end the day without lynching.
When a day deadline is reached, the person with the most votes is lynched if they have at least half of the required votes. If there are multiple people with the same number of votes at a deadline, the one who reached that number first is lynched. If no one has half the majority, no one is lynched.
I love it when players keep me in the loop regarding their Night discussion. (When allowed by roles, of course) Please CC me on PMs (The easiest way to do this in most browsers is to hit back to go back to the PM form and change the name to me) and e-mails, send me IM logs, link me to private forums, whatever.
Modkilling during the day takes the place of a lynch unless I feel the modkillee would gain an advantage by doing so.
If four periods (nights or days) pass with no deaths whatsoever, the game will be declared a tie among all sides with one or more surviving players unless there is some reason for me to do otherwise.
If I change any of these rules (Or the standard rules) at any time, I'll announce it. Anything rules-related I say after making this post, publicly or privately, takes precedence over this post.
