Micro 1005: Help Isis, Scholarship Student at Noon

Uncommon Rules

Experienced players are often tempted to skim the rules, so here are the rules most unique to my modding to be most aware of.

1. You must play to win the game. I enforce this rule somewhat more than other mods.
   
2. "Pretending to break a rule is the same as breaking a rule" is included in Common Rules below, but it is particularly important with this rule. It's allowed to claim you are not fighting to win quite as hard as you did last game, but you cannot claim not to be playing to your win at all, even as a tactic that you believe gets you closer to your win condition. This includes saying you would concede as one alignment.
   
3. The above two rules do not constitute a blanket ban on selfvoting or bussing, which often either furthers the wincondition, or in other cases is just a manner of conceding an unwinnable game to the other team.
   
4. If you feel totally unable to play to your win condition due to personal conflicts with other players, please request replacement upon realizing this.
   
5. This game is using a special rule that relates to hammer testing and quickhammer coordinations. When you make a vote, (this includes special votes, modify as appropriate), you can post,
   in bold
   ,
   I and all members of my faction that are known to me and I to them, VOTE: Isis and win the game
   . Do not name any other members of your faction. If you've made a mistake and voting together with all partners would not win you the game, it will be treated simply as a vote. If you haven't made a mistake, then you will perform votes on behalf of your teammates and win the game.
   
6. The above rule does not work if you do not have the mechanical information required to know that it would win the game. For example, if you are Masons with a player and one scum remains among five players, you cannot cause your teammate to vote Isis with you. It would only work if you previously investigated Isis as guilty in an open setup. (In practice this rule will usually benefit anti-town groups the most, but it is defined in a neutral way).
   
7. Discuss site/game rule violations with the moderator/listmod, not in the game thread.

Common Rules

1. All site-wide rules apply. In particular:
   No discussion of ongoing games is allowed
   . Post as though they don't exist, except when mentioning information whitelisted by the site rule: the
   number
   of games in which you are alive.
   
2. Do not quote your Role PM or any other PMs from the Mod, real or fabricated. Do not paraphrase too closely.
   
3. Do not quote private topics. Paraphrase. Do not mention timestamps on posts made in private topics. Remember that true paraphrasing focuses on the message being conveyed and not the linguistic or physical features of the messages - for instance, if Isis used a bulleted list, and that post strikes you as important and makes you think she feels confident she's solved this game, "Isis posted a bulleted list" is a physical feature you shouldn't reference, "Isis has been professory in the private topic" conveys the idea. Summarizing a private topic in a way that clearly delineates which posts contained which information breaks this rule.
   
4. You may quote a private topic if it is fully known(everyone alive reading the post is also permitted to view the post in the private topic it came from.)
   
5. Do not edit or delete your post, even if you have the ability to do so.
   
6. Do not use encrypted text, small text, or otherwise make it hard to see what you are writing.
   
7. Do not use cryptography or other complex information hiding. If you hide information in a post, it must be based purely on the English letters in that post, without shifting them to different letters based on any kind of rule, and their significance must be left-to-right.
   
8. Don't hide information using shared reminiscence.
   
9. Do not discuss this game outside this thread or PTs related to this game you have access to.
   
10. Do not use provable randomness. Saying you used a random criteria is fine, providing even weak evidence that you did so isn't.
    
11. Do not fake mod posts/edits.
    
12. Once you are dead you may not post. No bah posts.
    
13. Be civil to other players. Criticize play, not players. As one rule of thumb, negative nouns or profane adjectives that describe a player will start strikes against you; describing actions of a player will not.
    
14. No set of rules can be complete. If you think something is wrong, please don't do it. Breaking the spirit of rules is also disallowed. Do not encourage others to break the rules either. If in doubt, please PM me.
    
15. During the course of the game I may add extra rules if necessary. These rule changes will be announced publicly.

Deadlines, Activity, and replacements

1. Nights will last 48 hours. Similar mafia controlled decisions last 48 hours.
   
2. Prods will be issued if you do not post for 48 hours.
   
3. If you get three or more prods, or fail to respond to a prod by posting in thread within 24 hours (or by PM if at Night), I will begin seeking for a replacement (this means the third prod functions like a notice that you are racing the search for your replacement.)
   
4. If you receive a prod and satisfy that prod, you are "on probation" for the next 96 hours after responding to that prod. Meeting criteria for a prod during probation immediately triggers the search for your replacement even if it's your second prod.
   
5. If you expect to be unable to post for a while, please declare V/LA in thread. Should your V/LA be unreasonably long (>5 days), however, I strongly suggest you request replacement. There's no probation during V/LA
   
6. You will still be prodded while on V/LA, but these will not count towards the above three prod limit. An official prod will be sent 24 hours after your V/LA ends if you haven't posted then.
   
7. When replacements or prods happen at night, deadlines will be tolled as appropriate to conceal information. If it is possible to conceal information and avoid tolling by forcing the active part of a faction to make decision on behalf of the entire faction, though, the deadline will not be tolled.
   
8. Factionally aligned groups can choose actions for eachother and submit actions by PTs.
   
9. For replacements, day deadlines are extended by the length of time between the missing player's due and the first post of the new player. A post that does little more than acknowledge they've replaced into the game isn't counted as that post. Don't exploit this rule.
   
10. If you would like to replace out, please PM me. Do not publicly replace out, discuss about wanting to replace out, threaten to replace out, or persuade/dissuade others from replacing out.
    
11. Once your replacement request is publicized, it is final. You must cease to post. Inquiries about possibly retaining the slot must be conducted by mod PM.

Voting Rules

1. Use VOTE: to vote.
   
2. Votes are invalid unless the player's user account is named precisely without abbreviation. Mispellings of a character or two don't affect this, typing only the first four characters of an eighteen character username does.
   
3. Typing a post that includes nothing but -bolded- uncolored text "Isis=Waswas" will make an official nickname that can be used in votes. There is no limit on this feature aside from how wanton use would inherently break sitewide rules regarding spam.
   
4. Once majority is achieved, it is final, and the Day will end immediately with further votes and unvotes being invalid.
   
5. If majority is not achieved by deadline, I will privately contact the mafia to decide on behalf of the town.
   
6. I will do my best to ensure that each vote count is accurate. Check the vote counts. If I make a grave error I may reset all votes at my discretion.

[Isis]

You are a

Vanilla Townie

. You win when no players are alive except for one or more Vanilla Townies. To confirm for the game, please PM me that that you are Vanilla Townie, all PTs have daytalk, and it is unclear how many Mafia Goons comprise your foes this game.

[Isis]

I mistakenly posted a rough draft of the mafia role pm here. If you saw it, let me know, but it's very similar to the final draft and does not cause any problems if you saw it as either alignment.

[Isis]

You are a

Mafia Goon

. You win when no players are alive except for one or more Mafia Goons.
To confirm for the game visit the scum PT and quote the Vanilla Townie role PM to acknowledge it, then quote the scumteam membership post to acknowledge it.

[Isis]

It is confirmed that the only two role PMs in the game are those two. No one will receive a followup PM about additional powers during gamestart.

Isis stuffed her sweet little sphinxling into her bag as she plodded along the walk towards PAD Academy. Her green sweatshirt blocked the chilly breeze, and her headphones kept her in the zone.

"Gotta make it at this place".

She had been fortunate to get a scholarship, since she had no parents to pay for her. She knew lots of others she knew had applied, but she wasn't sure who else she'd run into, because she didn't know who'd made it in.

Hoping to encourage herself, she played "eye of the tiger" through her headphones.

[Isis]

Isis walked into the hall of the academy's largest building where throngs of students she didn't recognize bustled around, clutching texts about Twin Pronged Attack and Enhanced Heart Orbs.

"Where is a friend?"

[Isis]

Use Heal tags to help Isis find the player that is her friend. It is suggested to the townies that they select a Vanilla Townie to be the selection.
This replaces the elemination. You have six days from this post.
