0. As the mod, I reserve the right to make arbitrary and unfair decisions, or change the rules.
Please send me a PM if you notice I've made a mistake.
1. Follow all site rules.
2. Activity
As a guideline, please try to make a minimum of five relevant posts each week.
Players will be prodded if they go for 72 hours without posting. If I have to prod the same player several times, or if a player doesn't post in the thread within 24 hours after being prodded, I will look for a replacement for them.
If you will be unable to post for a while, tell me so in the thread or by PM, and depending on the duration of your V/LA, you will be excused from the activity requirement.
3. Voting
Votes must be bolded. For example:
vote: Herodotus
Not:
vote:
Herodotus
I'd prefer they be on a a line with no other text, but this is not required.
I think Herodotus is scum.
vote: Herodotus
to be lynched!
That vote would count, but I could miss it, especially in a long or dense post.
Nicknames are fine as long as they are obvious and unambiguous.
Unvotes are not required when changing votes.
"Trick voting" by intentionally mis-formatting your vote but making it look like you voted properly is against the spirit of the game. Don't do it.
If a votecount is wrong, please point it out in the thread as soon as you see it.
4. Lynching
It takes a
majority
to lynch. If a deadline hits without anyone having hit a majority, there will be no lynch.
You can also vote for a nolynch. If
half
of the living players vote nolynch, the day will end with no lynch.
5. Deadlines
The first three days will have deadlines of 3 weeks each. Days four and five will have deadlines of 2 weeks each. Any further days will have deadlines of 1 week each. Deadlines will probably not be extended unless the site goes down or there is a replacement within 72 hours before a deadline.
All nights will have a 72 hour deadline. If you have a night choice to make, you may send it in any time before the deadline -- even before the night begins. I'll use your last submission.
The deadlines do not count until I've locked/unlocked the thread or posted the no lynch/morning scenes, so if I'm late, you'll have some extra time.
6. Twilight
You may continue to post during twilight, but I'll usually be quick about locking the thread if there has been a lynch.
7. Replacements and Modkills
If it becomes necessary, I might forcibly replace or modkill a player. In the case of a modkill, the player will become a Neutral Survivor, but their previous role will also be revealed. Modkills on townies will end the day.
8. Language and Abuse
Use common sense. Avoid personal insults. You can use mild profanity if you need to, but not in a way that is directed at another person. Abusive language will result in a warning/replacement/modkill.
9. Restrictions on Posting
You may not quote your role PM or any other PM you receive from me, pretend to quote a PM, or similar. If you have any questions about what would be allowed, ask me by PM. And naturally, you can't quote my response. Use your own words.
You may not communicate with anyone about this game outside of the game thread unless I've given you permission. You also may not discuss other ongoing games.
My color as the mod will be
Blue
. Don't post in blue.
If you die, stop posting. We will all assume you said "bah" with your dying breath, so you don't need to post it. Note that if you were lynched, but I haven't posted your lynch scene, you're still alive.
No hidden text. No small text. All posts must be in English. No editing posts. (This rule does not apply to the moderator.)
There is at least one Vanilla Townie. Here is a Vanilla Townie role PM:
You are a
Vanilla Townie
.
You win when at least one town sided player is alive, and all anti-town players are dead.
Just because a majority of a group of people decide it's okay doesn't mean it's not murder. - Cobblerfone
