Rules

Primary Ruleset

1. The full ruleset is located on this wiki page. You are heavily encouraged to read all of it.
2. We will be using the following sections of the ruleset: general rules, standard activity and deadline rules, and voting, fading, and twilight rules. I will note any deviations in the following ruleset.
3.

The ruleset was updated recently, so if you read it before, you might want to use view history on the wiki page to see what has changed.

Most changes are related to the changes in site rules; the biggest change unrelated to that deals with claiming scum.

Summary of General Rules

1.

Follow the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

2. Follow

all

site rules especially

the ones against discussing ongoing games and threatening/demanding to replace out.

3. Do not discuss replacements, both in terms of the incoming and outgoing players.
4. Do not use the plain spoiler (blackout tag) by itself; use the spoiler= tag instead or combine it with colored text.
5. Be mindful of other users. In particular, try to spoiler animated GIFs, videos, and posts with multiple images.
6. Play to win the game and do not use provable randomness.
7.

Be sure to read your role pm and

all

pms received during pregame.

If you did not receive a role pm, please PM the moderator.

Any claims to have done otherwise will result in an immediate force-replacement.

8.

Please respect pronouns and avoid using the L-word.

9. Follow both the letter and the spirit of the rules.
10. The moderator reserves the right to update this ruleset as necessary.
11. This summary is not (and cannot) be all-inclusive. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the entire ruleset when you get the chance; things that are in bold are particularly important.
12. As stated in the ruleset, you will be given up to 24 hours to request redactions from private topics once the game is declared over.

Summary of Deadline and Activity Rules

1. The full activity and deadline rules are located here. We will be using just the standard rules.
2. Day 1 lasts 14 days. Day 2 lasts 10 days. All other days last 7 days. Nights last 48 hours.
3. You must post at least once every 32 hours. The moderator will prod you if you do not.
4. If you have regular weekend V/LA, you must notify me each week. Please set V/LA tags in the user CP so I do not forget.
5. You are expected to post more than the bare minimum dictated by these rules.
6. Please be mindful of others and do not spam the thread. There are no experimental rules this time, but you should still keep this in mind.

Voting Rules

1. The thread has been set up to work with Thesp's votecounter. You may use it for unofficial vote counts, and I will also be using them.

Please clearly mark any unofficial vote counts as such.

2. I will also be going back and manually counting votes. Thus, you may see two different vote count styles this game. Please do not be alarmed by this.
3. Abbreviations are allowed though I will likely edit your post to make Thesp's vote counter cooperate. (MathBlade's vote counter is honestly a lot better, but I cannot access it on my phone.)

Setup-Specific Rules

1: This setup is confirmed to be 10

town

versus 3

mafia

.
2: Two neighborizer roles and two mass neighborizer roles will be randomly distributed into the player list independent of alignment. These roles may or may not be modified. Sample role pms for a Town Neighborizer Neighbor and Mafia 3-Shot Mass Neighborizer Neighbor are provided below. No single player will receive more than one of these roles.
3: Any neighborhood created by any of the above roles is permanent and allows posting there after death. Other threads may or may not allow posting after death.
4: All threads are unlocked at all times unless otherwise specified.
5: All players are multitasking unless otherwise specified.
6: Only role names will flip on death. Role pms will not be posted.
7: Sample role pm #1:

Spoiler: Town Neighborizer Neighbor

Welcome, {Player}, to Mini Theme {#}: Web of Lies.
You are a

Town Neighborizer Neighbor

.

You are a part of the Liars' Guild neighborhood. You are currently the only member. You will receive further information in a separate pm.

Each night, you may target a player. You will attempt to add them to the Liars' Guild neighborhood.

Neighborize Notification

You are invited to join the Liars' Guild neighborhood located here. You may post here at any time including after you die.

You are a part of the Monastery Street neighborhood. You will receive more information in a separate pm.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one townie is still alive.

Note: It is confirmed that Monastery Street and the Liars' Guild are not real neighborhoods in this game.

8: Sample role pm #2:

Spoiler: Mafia 3-Shot Mass Neighborizer

Welcome, {Player}, to Mini Theme {#}: Web of Lies.
You are a

Mafia 3-Shot Mass Neighborizer Neighbor

.

You are a part of the mafia. You will receive further information in a separate pm.

Each night, you may target as many players as you like. You may also self-target, but you are not required to do so. You will attempt to add everyone you target to a private topic together.

On the first use, your targets will be added to the Liars' Guild neighborhood.
On the second use, your targets will be added to the Truth Seekers' Guild neighborhood.
On the third use, your targets will be added to the Honest People's Guild.

Neighborize Notification

You are invited to join the Liars' Guild neighborhood located here. You may post here during the day including after you die.

You are a part of the Monastery Street neighborhood. You will receive more information in a separate pm.

Please pay close attention to the pms you receive and make sure you do not mistake the neighborhood(s) for the mafia pt.

You win when all threats to the mafia are eliminated and at least one mafioso is still alive or when nothing can prevent the same.

Note: It is confirmed that Monastery Street, Liars' Guild, Truth Seekers' Guild, and Honest People's Guild are not real neighborhoods in this game.

Voting History:

This tracks who voted whom each day. Each line is formatted like Player A (2): Player B (2) --> Player C (3) where Player A is the person voting, player A votes player B in post #2, and player A votes player C in post #3. The use of ==> instead of --> indicates that the vote was not changed from its current target. People indented four spaces instead of two are replacements for a slot.

Key: * = F-1 Vote; + = Hammer Vote, $ = Self-Vote, ^ = After Hammer Vote.

Dawn begins

Welcome to the small town of Medina. Each of you have lived here your entire life and eagerly await today. For today, you get to pick your lifelong career! Four companies are hiring in entertainment, education, industrial work, and agriculture.

Role pms are going to be sent now. Please double check the subject line and make sure it matches your name. If it does not, delete the pm without reading and let me know.

To confirm your role, please pm me the answers to the following questions:
1) Which private topic(s) do you have access to currently?
2) If you are mafia, who are your partners?
3) Which career do you wish to pursue? (Entertainment, Education, Industrial work, or Agriculture.) (This is a pregame choice and not related to your role.)

Due to the pregame question, the game will begin when I have 13/13 confirmations. You have (expired on 2022-02-12 22:30:00) to confirm.

Edit 10:36 AM: All role pms are now sent. Please do not post in any thread until after you read your role pm.

Edit2 2022/02/12 11:31 AM: Currently at 12/13 confirmations.

[Ircher]

Seeking a replacement for Medea the Alien.

Everyone has picked up their role pm, but I'm still missing one confirmation. I will give that person an additional (expired on 2022-02-13 21:45:00) to confirm before I seek a replacement. Day 1 is guaranteed to begin by that time as well regardless of whether I receive the confirmation. Thank you for your patience so far.

[Ircher]

MalcolmTucker replaces Medea the Alien.

Edit 8:55 PM: Everyone has confirmed. Day 1 will start in about 40 minutes.

[Ircher]

Day 1 begins!

Today's the first day at your new job, and your employers surprise you by inviting you to participate in an icebreaker activity. Eager to make a good first impression, you accept the invitation.

[Ircher]

Hey first.

House, lukewarm and I are town.

Best of luck to the scum team!

[Almost50]

Popping out to post first before I go to sleep

VOTE: House

We both know it's going to happen sooner or later so why not just get over and done with.

P-edit:

VOTE: Bell

For stealing the first post

[Bell]

*nods sagely*

[House]

I'm Masons with Lukewarm.

Had some fun with theater in the hood we share.

[Lukewarm]

Apparently everyone else in this game hates agriculture.

I am in a hood by my self x.x

The farmers market is my notes pt now apparently

[Dunnstral]

What's up everyone

I'm a miller

[Lukewarm]

Oh. Dunn...

I did not think you were still doing that, and I might have already told the other people in the other hoods

[Lukewarm]

On one hand I feel bad, but on the other I am irl laughing pretty hard at this situation.

I'm sorry

[Lukewarm]

Consolation prize, I kinda lean town on the action itself. Like the follow through on it.

Scum!Dunn would presumably know that I already talked about his plan in the other hoods

[Dunnstral]

Speaking of hoods

Since Lukewarm is apparently a leaking larry anyways and there are no secrets

I think Enchant and Almost50 are both votable from our hood

[Lukewarm]

x.x

I thought it was weird, and I wanted to get Medea's opinion on it (and then they fucking repped out without ever commenting on it )

[Bell]

Communication.

Don’t worry Dunn, you’re still a Miller to me.

[Bell]

Consolation prize, I kinda lean town on the action itself. Like the follow through on it.

Scum!Dunn would presumably know that I already talked about his plan in the other hoods

Huh. That’s a good point. Did you imply you would go along with it or ever say yes to the thought?

[House]

Speaking of hoods

Since Lukewarm is apparently a leaking larry anyways and there are no secrets

I think Enchant and Almost50 are both votable from our hood

That's okay, I think all 3 of you are, and I haven't seen the first word from your hood.

[Lukewarm]

Consolation prize, I kinda lean town on the action itself. Like the follow through on it.

Scum!Dunn would presumably know that I already talked about his plan in the other hoods

Huh. That’s a good point. Did you imply you would go along with it or ever say yes to the thought?

I said yes at first, before I discovered my unique position. (Mainly to figure out what Dunn was doing)

Then discovered I was the only one who was in multiple hoods, and backed out of the plan.

Dunn's conversation moved past it, and I (mistakingly, apparently) thought it was no longer a plan.

[Morning Tweet]

Hiaa house! hi dunn! hi LLD! (hi A50 luke) hi enchanttt (hi bell hi taly/cupcake hi again stephen hi grandpa hi flea)

[Morning Tweet]
