The Golden Rule
1. While it is understandable that on occasion tempers may flare, please remeber that this is a game. Please
have fun
,
be respectful
of your fellow players and
try not to take anything personally
.
General Game Play and Etiquette
2. Please remember that
when you signed up for this game you made a commitment.
Be courteous to your mod and your fellow players and let us know when you are leaving for an extended period of time.
If you can't commit, it's OKAY to ASK to be replaced, but please don't make me hunt you down!
3. Please try to maintain more than the minimum standard for activity levels which is currently 1 post every 48 hours. If you go 48 hours without posting you will be prodded (as many times as necessary) and if you go 72 hours without posting you will be replaced. Exceptions will be made for low activity periods such as weekends and holidays.
4. Do not quote your role PMs or any private communication with the moderator in any way.
5. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
6. Do not talk about this or any other ongoing games on MS outside of their respective game threads for any reason unless your role PMs specifically allow you to do so.
7. I am fallible. While I strive not to make mistakes, they do occasionally happen. Please politely correct me if you spot one.
8. Once the game is over I will post links to the QT thread. If you have an issue with this please let me know in advance.
9.
Blue
is my color. Please don't use it.
Voting and Lynching and Deadlines
10. Votes must take the form of
Vote: Player
and similarly
Unvote
. It isn't necessary to
Unvote
every time but it would be appreciated by your mod and your fellow players for clarity's sake.
11. If you need to grab my attention for any reason please throw an
@Mod: statement
in your post.
12. This game will be run with fixed 3 week deadlines for days. Night-time deadlines will always be 72 hours.
13. In the event a lynch consensus is not reached by deadline, the player with the most votes will be lynched. In the event of a tie, the player which reached the most votes first will be lynched.
14. One daytime deadline extension of up to one week may be granted at the moderator's discretion in extreme circumstances and only if activity levels aren't impairing game progress.
15. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
16. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
17. Whenever a player has reached a simple majority of votes he/she will be considered lynched and the game will roll over into twilight phase. Twilight will last until I post a death scene and lock the topic
18. During twilight you may talk amongst yourselves; however, no further
Vote
or
Unvote
statements will be counted. Once the hammer has dropped, it cannot be undone, so vote wisely.
19. When you are killed you are allowed 1 post which may contain no other characters, letters, words or phrases besides "Bah" and/or "Go Town." Please refrain from doing even this unless absolutely necessary.

Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.
You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both if both of you live; if only you survive, you must choose one action or the other).
Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One. For your convenience I have set up the following
Quick Topic Thread which you may optionally use to communicate at night with your partner

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person they protect will never die on the night they are protected). You may not protect yourself.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues). You cannot investigate yourself.
