Rules – originally stolen 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.
A4) You may not discuss other games still in progress in the game thread.
A5) If you are dead, you may not post in the game thread 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 if in my judgement it is too close to a quote you may be subject to punishment. You may not make reference to timing of any communication provided by the Mod to you in thread or any other means of communication.
A7) You may not post in invisible, small, or encrypted text. A good rule of thumb on stenography – if the average person could not see the intended message when told how it was created or if the stenography requires outside of thread resources (language translation, etc) it isn’t acceptable.
A8) You may not edit any posts even if you have the power to do so.
A9) Please do not post in
text. This is my mod color. The only exception is use of
in a VC analysis to distinguish players whose alignment has already been publicly provided.
A10) If you are modkilled, you lose the game, even if your faction eventually wins. I will decide whether or not modkills end the day.
A11) 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.
Voting
B1) Votes must be
bolded
like this:
Vote: Playername.
B2) You must
Unvote
to change your vote. It must also be in
bold
.
B3) A lynch will occur when one player has the majority of votes for the day. A majority is defined as half the total living players in the game, rounded down, plus 1 additional vote.
B4) If at deadline no player has achieved a majority of votes a No lynch will occur.
B5) Once a player has the majority of votes needed for a lynch, the lynch is final and further votes and unvotes will not count
B6) You may
Vote: No lynch
. A no-lynch will occur when the majority, as defined in B3, of votes for the day are for no lynch.
Deadlines and Activity
C1) The first Day will have an initial deadline of 2 weeks (14 days). All successive Days will last 1.5 weeks. (11 days).
C2) This game will operate under a
Bankable Days system
. At the point a lynch or No lynch is hammered any days between that point and the deadline will be added to the deadline. Example – Day One lasts 10 days. The 4 excess days are added to the Day Two deadline giving Day Two a total of 15 days until deadline. Extensions to the deadline will NOT be granted except as deemed necessary by the Mod.
C3) Days will not officially end until the mod locks the thread, regardless of whether a player has accumulated enough votes to be lynched or the deadline has passed. Players may continue to post until then.
C4) Night phases will last for
72 hours
from the time the thread is locked at the end of Day. Night actions must be submitted within
48 hours
to be guaranteed to be accepted. Delay in starting the next Day due to extenuating circumstances will only extend these deadlines if specifically stated by the Mod.
C5) If a night action is not submitted, no action will be taken.
C6) If a replacement is needed during a night phase, I will extend the deadline regardless of whether the player being replaced has a night action or not. This may be waived if the replacement feels that they have sufficent time to do a full-catchup and take any necessary Night actions.
C7) I will try to prod players when they have not posted for
72 hours
. Players may also request prods on other players that may be granted if the Mod feels they are reasonable. All prods will be announced in thread.
C8) 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. Player requested prods will not count towards this rule.
C9) If you will be unable to post for over
72 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.
C10) I will try to post vote counts at least once every 24 to 48 hours. Players may request a new vote count at any time.
Sportsmanship
D1) Remember, mafia is a team game. Always play to win.
D2) Don’t be a jerk. This includes spamming the thread unnecessarily and attacking other players personally. Behavior that personally offends my sensibilities will result in warnings or punishment that does not benefit your affiliation’s interest based on the severity of the transgression. Consider this your fair warning.
Note
– This rule
WILL
be enforced.
D3) Treat this game as a commitment and try to stay active out of fairness to the other players.
Other Notes about this Setup
E1) All Night actions will be resolved using Natural Action Resolution. Remember the golden rule involving NAR … the timing list only comes into play when a direct conflict occurs. In the eventuality that a conflict arises that Natural Action Resolution cannot resolve the Mod reserves the right to make a decision based on his personal goals that went into the game design.
E2) If there is a conflict between the rules and what is written in a player's role PM, the role takes precedence.
E3) Players with multiple choices for night actions may only perform one action per night unless otherwise stated in the role PM. Factional abilities do not count towards this limit.
E4) Non-investigative type roles with an Active ability will not be told if their action was successful or not. Investigative roles will be told something along the lines of
"No Result"
if their action was unsuccessful.
E5) Protective abilities block all normal kill attempts (even stacked attempts) unless explicitly stated otherwise.
E6)
Expect the unexpected. Do not assume that standard expectations are applicable to the game.
E7) All QTs will be made public at game’s completion. Don’t say anything in there that you would not want being aired in public.
"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.
