- Be familiar with the sitewide rules and guidelines.
- Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs falls under this rule. Keep it civil.
- Play to your win condition.
- Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running.
- Do not quote or post any screen captures of any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs, QuickTopics, and instant messaging logs. Paraphrasing is okay.
- If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason.
- If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.
- Regular and boldface -colored text are reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me or post in hidden text, as covered in another rule.
- Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 24 hours to respond
in the game thread
before a replacement is sought.
- Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. After three prods, replacements will happen upon my discretion. Prod timers re-set with each new game Day.
- Posting content is an absolute must. If a player posts nothing but prod dodges for an entire game Day, he or she will be subject to replacement upon my discretion.
- If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me AND post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.
- During Pre-Game you will receive your role PM. Confirm by PM, as instructed.
- Confirmed players will be bolded on the player list. When 8/9 players have confirmed, Day 1 will begin.
- The mafia may discuss in their QT during pre-game until I instruct them not to.
- Days will have a fixed deadline of 14 real-time days. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
- Players may vote to No Lynch; a no lynch will occur if a majority of players vote for no lynch or if no majority is achieved by deadline.
- Lynch is achieved by simple majority.
- Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
- Votes should be on a separate line and flushed left, and MUST be bolded (e.g.,
Vote: Amrun
). The same applies to vote revocations (e.g., Unvote
). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g., Unvote, Vote: Amrun
). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: Amrun) is optional. Abbreviations are okay as long as it's clear for whom the vote is made.
- If I think it's a vote, it is a vote.
- All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene.
- Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that contains no game-related content, but it must also contain a picture of a sheep and/or the word "OTTERCOCKS"
- Nights in this game will have a 72 hour deadline, and I reserve as much as 24 hours after that to process actions and post the flavor scene.
- Players who have a night action to submit must send it in before the announced deadline. I accept provisional actions up until the announced deadline, at which time I will use the last action submitted.
- Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
- If there is an error in the vote count or something similar, bold your concern in the thread. Please PM me for all other issues.
- Violations of these rules will result in consequences. Pretending to violate these rules will also result in consequences. What those consequences are depend on the severity of the action and on the game state.
- Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of all changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.
