Rules

(Adapted from northsidegal)

General

-Adhere to all site rules.
-Always play to win.
-Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not.
-Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
-Do not quote any out of game communication regarding this game - this includes your role PM, any other PMs I may send you and any PTs you may have. You are allowed to paraphrase.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "

@mod

" in your post or PM me.
-

This

(#800080) is my color. You can use it, if you want.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.
-Each day phase will last for a maximum of 7 days, with night phases lasting for a maximum of 48 hours.
-If you want the night to end faster, send me a PM requesting for a fast night. If all living players do this, the night will end early.
-Do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-As a general principle, whenever moderator action is required I will attempt to make the decision that has the least impact on the natural flow of gameplay. For example, force replacing instead of modkilling whenever possible.
-Have fun!

Voting

-Vote either with vote tags (VOTE: lendunistus) or with bold text (

vote: lendunistus

). You don't have to use the exact name, you can use shortened versions or abbreviations. Just make sure that I can understand who you're voting.
-Eliminations will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no elimination.
-Voting to end the day in a no-elimination requires only 50% of players, not >50%.
-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.

Activity

-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 48 hours. Players who go 48 hours without posting will be prodded.
-If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if I have to prod you 3 or more times, you will be replaced at my own discretion.
-Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
-If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer I may be forced to replace you.

Game Notes

-This game will follow Natural Action Resolution.
-If you do not send me an action for the night, I will assume that you are not taking one.
-The Mafia private thread and any other PTs that may exist will always have daytalk.
-"Bah!" posts are prohibited.
-If you would like me to make a private notes PT for you, please PM me requesting me to do so. It will be released 24 hours after the game ends unless you object to this.
-At least one player has received the following role:

(Sorry for the massive delay on this one going out!)

[RadiantCowbells]

I need to verify this but i believe that strongman does not allow you to target the hider because it functions akin to commute roles rather than bulletproofing

Overall i think even with that jebait it's passable or close to, if strongman does allow you to target hiders then I'm actually not sure how much it matters, hider as unkillable conf town is a concern but given the risk involved i think it's fine

[lendunistus]

I need to verify this but i believe that strongman does not allow you to target the hider because it functions akin to commute roles rather than bulletproofing

implo told me that strongman DOES go through hider ability

it probably should be specified whether hider is a commuting or bulletproofing ability

[implosion]

I think it does kill hider based on the wiki's normal section for hider. The strongman page mentions that it doesn't work against hider "in some open setups".

[Ircher]

I think this is good as-is. Thus, we only need role pms.

/pass

[RadiantCowbells]

I'd consider rephrasing cannot be blocked in any way to explain that commuters exist but I can pass

[lendunistus]

I'd consider rephrasing cannot be blocked in any way to explain that commuters exist but I can pass

so something like “cannot be blocked in any way, even by commuters”?

[RadiantCowbells]

except by

[RadiantCowbells]
