In-Game Behavior
1.
Site Rules are in effect. Please familiarize yourself and adhere to them.
2. Insults are strongly discouraged. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.
3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in highly unpleasant consequences regardless of alignment.
4. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.
5. Have fun!
Voting and Deadlines:
1. Voting must be bolded in the form
Vote: Player
- bold tags
or
VOTE: Player vote tags
or else they may not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.
If you don't use the vote tags, be sure to add a colon after the word "Vote".
2. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.
3. Eliminations require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.
4. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no eliminations. If this happens ONCE, the Mafia will be required to No-Kill on the following night. If this happens AGAIN, then the Mafia will get to make a Kill the following night.
5. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the eliminated may talk freely until the final vote count and eliminated player's card-flip have been posted. I will lock the game thread at that time.
6. When you are hammered, on the following day, you may make a "bah" post with no game-relevant information. Nothing more.
7. Deadlines are set at 14 days and extensions will only be given in extreme circumstances.
8. Night deadlines are set at 48 hours.
9. I reserve the right to add a few hours here and there to make deadlines fall during waking hours for US Pacific Time. Night deadlines will be arranged so that an entire night phase does not fall on a weekend.
Prods and Replacements:
1. Prods will be given if you do not post in
48 hours
.
2. You will be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod by making a substantive post within 24 hours, or you need to be prodded 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time, but the less you request, the happier your mod is. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 48 hours do not count for replacement purposes.
3. If you're V/LA (vacation/limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but that's not required. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then your mod may replace you without penalty.
Misc.
1.
(#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.
2. You can talk about the game in the private threads given to you via PM, assuming you were given one. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game. This is a sitewide rule. See announcement
here.
3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, writing in code, etc...
4. Don't quote mod-recieved PMs or Private Thread posts. Paraphrasing is permitted.
5. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.
6. Questions are vastly preferable to Modkills. If you're thinking about doing something that you're unsure is within the letter or spirit of these rules, the site rules and the game of mafia, then tell me about it first so I can let you know if it's ok or not.
