Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

Day 1: up to 10 days, Day 2+ up to 7-days, Night: 48 hours.
Majority lynches
36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
Don’t be a dick

Follow all site rules.
Mod colour
– My mod colour is
grey
; don't use it.
Behaviour
- Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
Don't talk about ongoing games
- You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
Animated GIFs
- are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
Tiny text
- is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
Claiming scum
- by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
Cryptography
- is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
Confirmation
- You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Days
- Days last about 14 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
Activity
- You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
Vacation/Limited Access
If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
V/LA
in bold in the thread like this: [
b]
@Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
[
/b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
Prodging
- A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
Quoting
- You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
Vote: Plotinus
. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
v]Plotinus[
/v] to vote and [
uv]Plotinus[
/uv] to unvote.
Lynching
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
Twilight
- Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
Night
- Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
Reminders
- If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
Play to win
- this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2018-09-26 20:15:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner.

The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

Official Vote Count 1.00

Image description: ClickList - Why Not Highly Satisfied:

I ordered 1 lb of green beans. I received 1 green bean. This is honestly the most hilarious thing - the entertainment value of seeing one sad lonely green bean in a large produce bag more than makes up for the lack of remaining green beans. Note: On the website, green beans are added by the pound. Even though my order contained 1 lb of green beans, my receipt shows I was only charged for .01 lbs of green beans (presumably, the weight of exactly one green bean), for a total of 2 cents. So, I paid a very fair price for my single green bean. I have remaining questions. Who filled this order? Was the "lb" unit absent, or did they really think a customer wanted a Clicklist employee to painstakingly pick out a single green bean for them? What kind of sociopath would order one green bean? Did you consider calling the police on that person? Obviously I don't expect answers to all of these, but they are honest questions I have.

LynchingWith 9 votes in play, it takes 5 to lynch.

Everybody

(0): Nobody

Not Voting

(9): Flavor Leaf, Formerfish, Korina, LCpl Jones, Lamees, acrimoniusalpaca, dojaj, kaldridge1025, xx2008

Deadline:

(expired on 2018-10-05 07:45:00).

Mod notes:

Everybody has confirmed, so we can get started early. Good luck everyone!

Please take a moment to familiarise yourselves with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things.

Hi all!

I'm Lcpl Jones. As that's a bit hard to write maybe, feel free to abbreviate it to anything you like

I've played one game before, this is my new main account.

Let's get going and lynch some scum!

Looking forward to lynching scum with y'all.

HOW DARE YOU VOTE MY SK BUDDY

Korina · Post Post #13 (ISO) » Tue Sep 25, 2018 1:30 am

Also, hello all. I'm Korina, I'm one of our SEs who could actually be an IC.
I just haven't played any newbie games before as a SE, so here I am.

I've played mafia for a long time, (however I don't promise I'm actually good). I'm good when I try to play seriously, which you'll hopefully see from me.
Expect to see a lot of joking posts from me early on, followed by more serious posting later on in the game.

So yes, hello all.
I'm a person.

Is that a role claim of SK? Looks like the mod got confused when sending out the role assignments

(in case any newer players are wondering, Serial Killer = SK (a player unaligned to either town or mafia) and we definitely don't have one in this game, since its not an open setup.)

Oh wait, did I say SK?
Uh... I meant... Night Kill Immune Miller Vig.
Yea, totally.
Totally a Vigilante that can't be killed at night that appears Mafia to cops...
Totally not a SK...

But yes, SK is Serial Killer.
Serial Killer is a third-party role with the only goal of being the last player left standing. They kill one player each night, (much like the mafia do), except they're just all by themselves.

We also don't have one, although, would be interesting to see how different these games would be if we had a SK in them.

Also:

@Mod, is 69-sized text too small or no? Just curious.

Lamees · Post Post #16 (ISO) » Tue Sep 25, 2018 3:33 am

Wait... what's going? Did you just accidentally give your mafia partner away lol

Korina · Post Post #17 (ISO) » Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:50 am

No, I joke claimed SK.
LCPL said that it was a joke, pointed out what SK meant, (and how it was impossible)
I agreed with that, and explained

what

SK does.

If you feel like I somehow actually did, by all means, please, point it out.

Korina · Post Post #18 (ISO) » Tue Sep 25, 2018 4:57 am

OH WAIT, NVM, I’m just dumb.

My vote on LCPL was RVS.
SK, like he said, is impossible. SK, also normally does not know anyone else’s role, (unlike mafia who know each other).
If I was SK, (which was impossible), I wouldn’t know that Acri is also SK, (which once again is impossible).

My RVS vote is normally a pun-vote on someone else, or someone I’ve played with.
Seeing as I couldn’t find anyone I’ve played with, nor find a pun in anyone’s name, I just settled with piggybacking off of LCPL’s vote, and vote him instead.

Korina · Post Post #19 (ISO) » Tue Sep 25, 2018 5:00 am

Actually, looking at the names again, I could’ve made a pun based on FF’s name.
(Y’know, I would make a pun here, but I’d find it so

fishy

that I’d probably get hanged for it.)
Oh well, it’s been made.
