All
mafiascum site rules apply in addition to my own ruleset, i.e. play to win, don't talk about ongoing games, etc.
1. Voting: Votes and unvotes must be in bold to be counted. (Ex: Vote: Dunhamganger.) You do not have to unvote between votes for the next vote to be counted. You may unvote at any time and need not specify who you were voting for.
2.Lynching: Lynches require a simple majority of votes. Once that majority is reached, a lynch is achieved and further votes or unvotes will have no effect.
3. No Lynch: You may Vote: No lynch if you wish to end the day without lynching (herp). No Lynch will also require a simple majority.
4. Deadline: This game will function on a cycle of strict 3-week days. Replacements near deadline will extend that deadline by a maximum of 3 days.
5. Deadline Lynch: When the deadline passes, if no player has a majority of the votes, the player with the most votes will be lynched. If more than one player is tied for the most votes, no lynch will occur
6. Night and Night Actions: Night will last for 72 hours maximum. Night actions not received within those 72 hours will not occur. Night actions will be resolved using Natural Action Resolution.
7. Lurking: Players who sign up in this game are expected to actively post and participate. Players who do not post for 48 hours without prior warning will be prodded. Failure to respond to a prod within 48 hours will result in replacement. Lurking will not be a viable strategy in this game and players who are consistently prodded or post only to avoid being prodded will be replaced at the Mod's discretion.
8. Out-Of-Thread/Beyond-The-Grave Communication: The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so, and then only in the manner stated in your role PM. Don't quote any out-of-thread communications regarding this game in the thread; this includes your role PM. In addition, once you're dead, you may post exactly once more (often called a "Bah" post) before endgame, and it may not contain relevant game content. Any violation of this rule is a modkillable offense.
9. Posting Style: Do not use odd colors, font size,excessive Caps Locks, or excessive images in your posts. Do not be unduly abusive to your fellow players. Do not edit or delete your previous posts. No codes or foreign languages. Failure to meet these criteria will result in warnings and/or replacement.
This is my color, IT's MINE!! do not use it
10. V/LA: If you are going to be V/LA, please post in the thread if at all possible. Do not assume that a simple site-wide announcement will suffice. Please treat this game like a commitment and respect the time and enjoyment of your fellow players.
11. Questions, Comments, Concerns: If you have any questions that need to be addressed outside of the thread, please PM me. Otherwise, you may get my attention using either of the following formats: @Jake From State Farm, @Mod.
12. Playing to Win: If at any point I deem you to be playing against your win condition, you will be replaced or modkilled. No exceptions. (I always prefer replacements but if it's something I deem extreme I will modkill)
13. Catch-All: If you seem to be violating the spirit of these rules while operating under the letter of them, I will take appropriate action. Fair warning.
14. Fun: Having fun is by no means mandatory, but I would vastly prefer that each of you have some amount of it. If there's anything I can do to ensure that you do, please do not hesitate to let me know.
15. Modkills: A modkill on Town will end the Day, and a modkill on any kind of scum will keep the Day going
16. At least 1 player will get a VT role pm that looks like this

, you only possess the power to speak your mind and vote. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is nothing else that can prevent it.
