This is an experimental set up, with two towns with two separate win conditions.
In a world of dungeons and dragons, or ghouls and goblins, of knights and scoundrels there is little room for grey.
Do you stand for Good? Do you strive for others, sacrificing your wants for others needs?
Or do you stand for Evil? Do you take what you can get from this world, staring darkness in the face?
And how do you live within this world?
Do you stand for Law? Do you believe in rules and structure, of oaths and honor?
Or do you stand for Chaos? Do you shirk the restrictions that others erect and run toward your own ends?
Good cannot abide Evil. Just as Law cannot abide Chaos.
> Fundamental
1) The site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.
2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread. Rant Buddies are cool, as long as they don't provide feedback. The mod's inbox is always here if you're feeling frustrated too!
3) Don’t quote any private communication. This includes with the mod, masons, neighbours, between hydras. Doing so will result in a modkill. Always paraphrase.
4) Play nice. Step over the line of what I feel is acceptable and I will warn/force replace you.
5) No Sig/Avatar bets, this is actually covered by rule 1 but people seem to forget it’s a site wide rule.
> Voting, Lynching & Death
6) For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form Vote: Equinox or VOTE: Equinox. Caps and colons are optional, but it does need to be bolded. Any other derivation will NOT be counted (i.e. hammer: Mina would not be counted)
7) Unvotes aren't necessary, but will be appreciated.
8) A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% +1 of the votes. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight. Night will begin as soon as I have declared the lynch.
9) You may vote for a ‘no lynch’ if desired. If a majority of the players in the game vote for a no lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch.
10) Once you're dead, you are dead. Do not post in the thread until the game is over, not even a 'bah' post. There'll be a graveyard to complain in/tell us how awesome you are/complain to me.
> Activity & Deadlines
12) Treat this game as a commitment, and try your best to stay active.
13) Prods will be issued after 48 hours in a row without posting. If I keep having to prod you I'll get angry and replace you. Players may request a prod on another player too, I'm human I may forget so if you want someone prodded just tell me.
14) If you do not make a post within 24 hours of being prodded I will begin the search for a replacement. If you post before I find one you get to keep your spot though.
15) Things come up in life, if you need time off for something, please let myself and the players know in-thread for V/LA purposes. I will be flexible, but if you can't be here for a significant amount of time I will replace you.
16) Deadlines for each game day will be 2 weeks.
17) In the event of a deadline ending without a player gaining a majority of votes, there will no lynch.
18) Nights will have a 48 hour deadline. If you fail to send in a night choice, I will automatically default to 'no choice' for that night, and you will do nothing.
19) Deadlines will only be extended if I need a number of replacements, or barring some other freak circumstances. Apart from that laziness, or anything else, will not result in a deadline extension.
> Other Information
20) No mechanism or website may be used to prove that a decision was achieved randomly. I.e. you may chose who claims first by rolling a dice, but you'll have to trust the person who rolled the dice not to lie. This means no dice tags in my game.
21) RED and Mech font are my colours I will use for modly purposes. Try not to use them, oh also no hard to read colours.
22) I will try to post Vote Counts as often as possible. You can request them, but it probably won’t be necessary, expect one every few pages at worst.
23) It's more than possible I've missed a rule or haven't completely covered something. Don't be a prick and try to exploit it, or I will punish you. If something is fuzzy for you, please ask!
24) I reserve the right to add more, or modify existing rules at any time. If this happens, I will let everyone know in thread.
25) Flavour is just flavour. Flavour is also spelled with a u. Silly Americans.
26) There is no rule eleven. Mostly because I numbered this wrong and going back to edit it takes :effort:
27) Have fun!
> Game Specific Mechanics
28) When a faction achieves its win condition, all members of that faction 'win' and then leave the game. Any surviving direct opponents also leave the game. The game then continues until the remaining two factions conclude their conflict.
29) Classes are restricted to the Alignment possibilities detailed in the 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons players handbook. Only classes from that book will be present, with the addition of Commoners.
Sample Role PM:
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Cecil.
Alignment: True Neutral
Class: Druid
Class Abilities: Power of Balance - You can help everybody win the game and live happily ever after, as long as you survive Night 0... damn.
Win Condition: You win when everybody else does... damn.
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Guy.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Class: Commoner
Class Abilities: Nil
Win Condition: You win when all Chaotic Evil players have been eliminated and at least one Lawful Good player is left alive.
Welcome to Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos Mafia, Lady.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Class: Commoner
Class Abilities: Nil
Win Condition: You win when all Lawful Evil players have been eliminated and at least one Chaotic Good player is left alive.
A definitive list of classes and their alignment restrictions.
Barbarian - Must not be Lawful
Bard - Must not be Lawful
Cleric - May be of any alignment (Although technically must be within one alignment step of their deity, but ignore that here)
Commoner - May be of any alignment
Druid - Must contain one element of Neutral
Fighter - May be of any alignment
Paladin - Must be Lawful Good
Ranger - May be of any alignment
Rogue - May be of any alignment
Sorcerer - May be of any alignment
Wizard - May be of any alignment
Once again, I'd like to say an alignment claim would be more beneficial to the scum teams than it would be to the town. It would narrow down the scum's targets, and divide the town. Therefor, it'd be better to use regular scum hunting.
New day one hurray. Anyone have the cache of the stuff that was lost? I'm sure it's stell relevant. I posted when the topic was like a page old, went away for the weekend then the site was down so I literally saw nothing.
"I value knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive. At my best, I am brilliant and progressive. At my worst, I am treacherous and cold."
We have five god damn pages of real discussion, why the fuck are people initiating the RVS again. Go download the files and read you lazy assholes.
##Vote: ManiacalLemon
for pretending that statement was anything close to his idea and not answering any of the pre-crash questions asked of him.
I HATE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE GO JUMP INTO A FREEZING LAKE - Mr. Freeze
And this was like me realizing that you were a serial killer. - Hathor
"but I must declare my love to Edelgard here, i offer you the treasure I stole from Raphael, an idol LOL" - Shamir
Alright, Shadoweh is town for picking up on that obviousness. I have realized, however, that an alignment claim is not in the best interest. Mainly due to what other people said pre-crash. UNVOTE:
Why did you say you wanted your vote on CooLDog without changing your vote to actually BE on CooLDog? Also, after naming the problems with claiming alignments, why did you say it was worth the risk? What benefits were you seeing?
The main benefit I thought of at the time was that each town would know who they want scum hunt for. I was tired at the time, and it definitely seemed better than it really was to me for some reason. I also hadn't thought much about the set-up at the time.
@Maniacal Lemon Why don't you like Cool Dog?
"I assume that each scum faction would get a night kill then...
On the claiming stuff...
It depends how you want to play the game. If you want to play it as one big mafia game where there are basically two flavors of each side, then alignment claims may not necessarily be the best way to go in my opinion. Too much bickering and trying to second guess what someone is or is not. If we play it this way we should lynch scum period we are looking for a double town win.
However, if you want to play toward your own factions singular win condition,
of only killing the other faction
, then in my opinion we should alignment claim. Because you wouldn't care about a CE if you are a CG... any way, this set-up probably needs some more thought before I start posting though "
It'd be pointless to not let the scum NK each other.
Mr. Foxace... Let me ask you a few questions... Answer truly to all your extent. If you lie, I don't care because I'm immune to socialization.
Now... Thank god I have this Complete Idiot's Guide for Private Investigators...
Now lets gets started.
First of all Foxace, I'd like to ask you, what is you favourite number.
Secondly... What is your GPA...
Thirdly... What's your favourite hobby?
Fourthly, what do you plan to do in the future of this game? It can be estimated if you want it to be.
Fifthly, why do you like Naruto?
Sixthly, why did you intend to hang Mr. Riggs then Mr. Maniacal Lemon?
Also I want Mr. Lemon, Mr. Riggs, and Mr. Magnua to answer my questions as well. Please be honest as possible. Thanks. The Naruto question is not mandatory if you don't watch the show. (I don't watch anime or any of that Asian weird stuff).
Don't ignore the questions. I want straight answers.

Fifthly, why do you like Naruto?
N/A
Sixthly, why did you intend to hang Mr. Riggs then Mr. Maniacal Lemon?
I'm guessing his were RVS votes. Mine were feigned RVS votes.
Also I want Mr. Lemon, Mr. Riggs, and Mr. Magnua to answer my questions as well. Please be honest as possible. Thanks. The Naruto question is not mandatory if you don't watch the show. (I don't watch anime or any of that Asian weird stuff).

Also, VOTE: CoolDog
I think I'm done for the night. The whole mister thing is kind of annoying, by the way.
