The IC (Inexperience-Challenged) player is here to answer any questions and help newbies understand how mafia is played here, but remember that they are playing the game as well, so are not necessarily town. Their play is governed by the article, Being a good IC.
The SE (Semi-Experienced) players have finished at least two games on MS.net, so may also be able to help out.

-I, DeasVail, am your moderator! I will handle any situation as I see fit.
-Feel free to PM me with any questions, complaints or mistakes I’ve made. Simple stuff like vote count errors can be mentioned in-thread.
-Any time you want my attention in-thread, please use bold.
-Action will be taken on rule infractions, whether it be a warning, force replacement or modkill.
-I may change the rules at any point in the game, although you will be notified.
-Any flavour will not be any indication of role or alignment.
General:
1) Have fun! And allow others to have fun too. Excessive insults or personal attacks will result in a warning or force-replacement.
2) Play to your win condition.
3) There must be no talking about the game outside this thread, unless using a method allowed by your Role PM.
4) Do not edit posts if you have the ability to do so.
5) No quoting of any PMs or QTs relating to the game.
6)
This
is my colour. Don’t use it.
7) Do not discuss ongoing games.
8) Do not use hidden or encrypted text.
9) Do not bring outside influences into the game - this includes threats, bribes, wagers, promises, alliances, etc.
10) Once you are dead, there is to be no posting, except for a “Gah!” post with no game-related content.
Gameplay:
11) Votes must be bolded or in vote tag format to count. I will not count any that are not. Example:
Vote: DeasVail
. Abbreviations can also be used as long as it’s clear who you’re voting for. Example:
Vote: DV
12) Unvoting when changing a vote is helpful, but not required. Voting at the beginning of a line is also helpful, but not required, although not doing so increases the chance I will miss it.
13) Votes for a no lynch must be the following:
Vote: No Lynch
. Vote tags are fine too.
14) A lynch or no-lynch before deadline requires a majority of votes.
15) Once a majority is reached, it becomes twilight until I can post the lynch. No voting or unvoting will count.
16) No majority at deadline means no lynch occurs.
Activity:
17) Please inform me if and when you will be V/LA. If I feel that the period is too long, or there is some other reason for me to do so, I will replace you.
18) Prods will be sent after 3 days (72 hours) without a post. If there is no response after another 24 hours, I will start looking for a replacement.
19) If someone accumulates 3 prods over the course of the game and I feel they are not active enough, they will be replaced.
20) Days have 3-week deadlines unless an extension is granted. Feel free to ask for them, but I will only grant one if there is good reason to.
21) Nights will last 72 hours.
Role PMs are out! Players have (expired on 2013-03-03 07:22:24) to confirm by PM before I look for a replacement. The game begins when 7 have confirmed.
also let me tell everyone right now that i don't intend to write a colossal amount explaining why i'm town and why the person i'm voting is mafia. just trust me, i'm usually right.
Oi, to head off questions of this nature: I respond to nearly any variation of my name from the full thing to DDD, Danny to DDDP to "Hey, you" as long as I know that I'm the "Hey, you" you're referring to. As the IC, I'm here to answer questions and provide some order to the game while also playing the game. If you have some question not related directly to your role (those questions should be sent to DV) feel free to ask them. It is much better to ask a question than to blunder and hurt the town accidentally.
Other than that, you get out of this game what you put in. So if you want to have fun, come in with a positive attitude, don't take any debate, arguments, or accusations personally and just pretend it's Pat Benetar and give it your best shot. I think experience is the best teacher and so unless otherwise prompted I'll be playing the game the same as the rest of you.

Lol
Only playing in games at personal moderator and/or 50%+ playerlist request.
Metal Sonic can you please get an avatar so I can remember more easily who you are?

Nero -- Your play is obviously to be determined but if you aren't going to help us and we should just "trust" you all you are doing is hurting us and deserve to be lynched.
