Rules
Read them and know them. You are responsible for knowing ALL rules.
1.Outside Communication- Outside communication is forbidden unless your role allows it. If your role does not SPECIFICALLY state that you may discuss the game outside of the game, YOU MAY NOT do so. Unauthorized outside communication will result in an instant mod-kill if proven. (proven meaning I have enough reason to believe it happened). This rule stands even when dead.
1a. Mafia Discussion threads are NOT a part of this game. Do not post there looking for advice on this game. If I have reason to believe that any posts you make in Mafia Discussion are made for help in this game, you will be mod killed. Please notify me if you believe a player has done this.
1b. If you unintentionally obtain more information about the game/setup than you should, you are not at fault. If you do this and stay in the game, you ARE at fault. Let me know if this happens and I will replace you to avoid compromising the game. This includes but is not limited to: getting a read on a player based on something said outside of this game, receiving a PM from a player in the game about the game, receiving a PM from me meant for someone else with game information.
2. Voting- Voting should be in the following format.
Vote: Kmd4390
. In order to unvote, use
Unvote
. Bolding is required, as is unvoting. If you do not unvote, a new vote WILL NOT COUNT. Votes or unvotes in an incorrect format will not count. If I miss a vote or unvote, be sure to tell me as I am human and it may happen.
2a. I will accept
VOTE: and
UNVOTE: tags as well.
2b. Shortened or abbreviated names are acceptable as long as it is common knowledge who you mean. If a username is ISuckAtThis game, voting for "ISuck" or "ISATG" is acceptable. Voting for "bad player" or "Billy" is not.
3. Night Actions- Night actions should be in within the amount of time that I have given. If I say "you have 24 hours" and no action is in, your action will be randomized. This means random.org will choose your action for you. "No action" is a possibiliy for randomization as is self-targeting. You may send "no action" as your action. Self-targetting is also acceptable unless your Role PM says otherwise. If you are choosing not to perform an action, you MUST submit "no action". Any actions submitted after night deadline, but before I resolve actions, WILL count.
3a. If all actions are in before deadline, I may start the next day early.
4.Quoting- Do NOT post anything with exact quotes to anything given to you privately by either myself or another player (if your role allows this). You may paraphrase VERY LOOSELY, but no quoting. Don't quote anything from PMs, Quicktopics, or any other way you may be communicating with the Mod and/or other players. If you are unsure of paraphrasing, contact me before posting it. If you are modkilled for quoting outside communication, it is your own fault.
4a. If any paraphrasing is questionably close to quoting, I reserve the right to modkill.
5.Twilight - You may talk until I lock the thread. You are not dead until I say so. That means that if you have been killed, but I haven't made it to the thread yet, you may still post.
6. Lynching- Lynching will require a majority vote (7 alive means 4 will lynch.) I will remind you in every vote count how many votes it takes to lynch. In case of a deadline, there will be NO LYNCH. Every vote count will also include the deadline.
7. Activity- I will send out prods to any player who hasn't posted in 48 hours (not including weekends). There will be NO REPLACEMENTS unless requested by the player being replaced. If a player doesn't post for an entire game-day, they will be modkilled. There will be no activity-related modkills if the day doesn't come within 24 hours of deadline. By signing up, you commited yourself to playing this game. Please treat the game that way.
7a. If a player doesn't post for two consecutive game-days, they will be modkilled regardless of the length of each game-day.
7a2. Any attempts to intentionally use this rule to get a player modkilled may result in penalties to be decided if needed. Please don't allow this to happen.
7b. I will never modkill someone for V/LAs announced beforehand. Please PM me or post in thread for extended V/LAs. If it is going to last an entire game day, please consider a temporary or permanent replacement.
8. Deadlines- Day 1, you will have 10 days. All following days will be 7 days unless 4 players or less remain, in which case you get 5 days.
9. When you are dead, do not post anything else. You can post a neutral "bah" post that gives no information about anything. Please make all "bah" posts entertaining and/or amusing. Other than that, you are dead. Rot there.
10. If you fake breaking a rule, it will incur the same punishment as actually breaking the rule. (rule shamelessly stolen from Farside22)
11. If you believe I have made a small mistake, for example, in a vote count, please point it out in thread. If you have a more serious grievance for some reason, talk to me privately. Leave it out of the game topic. (also stolen, but slightly re-worded, from Farside)
12. My word is final. If you have a problem with it, see rule 11.
13. Play to win.
14. Have fun and allow others to do the same.
15. Do not use
. It is my color. All use of this color will be edited. I will not be a nazi about it if you are doing some kind of analysis with fancy colors. DO NOT try to pass yourself off as me by use of my color. This will get you punished in some way, probably by modkill.
16. My games always may or may not include objectable roles such as cults, jesters, survivors, etc. If these roles exist, there can be multiple winners. This means the game does not end if one win condition is fulfilled and others can also still be fulfilled.
17. No small text, invisible text, or other hidden text
18. Any attempt to use Role PM structure is forbidden. If I see it, I will issue a warning. If I see it again, you will suffer some kind of creative punishment. If after the punishment, you try it again, you will be modkilled on sight. Please note that not all vanilla PMs, win conditions, or anything else are necessarily identical. I may say "vanilla", "townie", "innocent bystander", or whatever comes to mind. Do NOT try using PM structure or anything else to catch scum. It DOES NOT work in my games.
19. Flavor, such as lynch scenes, day starts, flavor in vote counts, etc., is flavor and nothing more. It is off the top of my head and doesn't give any game info. Don't use flavor to attempt to determine things such as a player's alignment or setup info.
19a. Some of my games may have kills flavors that are specific to a faction. Some may not. It will be obvious which is the case.
20. I reserve the right to add rules if necessary. Everyone will be notified if I do so.
