- The Golden Rules
1. The
site-wide rules apply. Read them, know them, love them, but do not break them.
2. Play to win.
3. I reserve the right to change the rules at any time for any reason. If I do this, the rule changes will be posted in thread.
- The Inviolable Rules
4. If you’re unsure if what you’re going to do will break a rule, ASK.
5. We're all here to have fun. Tempers may flare, but avoid personal attacks and keep it civil.
6. Do not edit or delete your posts in this thread.
7. Do not quote or link private communications, including Role PMs, Private Topics, etc. (Quoting is allowed wherever alignment is confirmed, such as scum or mason PTs.)
8. Do not use cryptography, invisible text, tiny text, or the like.
9. Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming you rolled dice and acting on that is fine. Using dice tags is not.
10. Do not impersonate or pretend to be the moderator.
If I edit a post, my words will be in purple. Do not use this color.
11. Do not talk about this game outside of this game thread until it is completed, unless I have specifically told you it is allowed.
12. Do not bring outside factors into this game. This includes making bets, promises of real life rewards, etc.
13. Do not pretend to break one of these rules. Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as breaking the rule.
14. Breaking one of these rules may result in a modkill. If you are modkilled, you may become a Neutral Survivor, and thus automatically lose. Modkilling may or may not end the Day.
- The Activity Rules
15. Each player is expected to post at least once every 48 real life hours. If a player goes 48 real life hours without posting, they may be prodded. Prods will be publicly announced.
16. If a player does not respond to their prod within 24 real life hours, is prodded twice in the same Day, or three times in total within the game, they may be force-replaced.
17. If you will be V/LA, please alert me in the thread or via PM. I do not read the V/LA thread.
18. Each Day will have a deadline of fourteen real life days.
In the event deadline is reached before a lynch has occurred, no lynch will occur.
19. Each Night will have a deadline of two real life days. If you have an action available during the Night, but do not submit an action, you will perform no action.
20. I may extend deadlines in the event replacements must be found. This will be publicly announced.
- The Voting Rules
21. Votes must be bolded to count, and in the format of
VOTE: Magua. Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as the vote is bolded and it is obvious to me who is being voted for.
22. Unvoting is nice, but is not necessary.
23. Once a majority of votes is reached (# of players / 2 + 1, rounded down), that player will be lynched and dead. No further votes or unvotes will be counted.
24.
If you are dead, that is it. Do not post. Not even a "Bah" post.
25. You may
VOTE: No Lynch. It still requires a majority to end the Day before deadline.
II. Setup Rules and Information
1. Flavor is purely for my enjoyment, and is not indicative of the game in any way.
2. Despite any flavor to the contrary, this is not a bastard game. It does not contain alignment changing mechanics, the mod is not a player, etc.
3. This setup contains 10
players and 3
players. There are no third parties.
4. The Mafia have daytalk with each other. In addition, the scums' teammates will have read-only access to the Mafia PT.
5. Each player may take a maximum of one (A) or (FA) action each Night.
6. Endgame: In the event that a Day starts with 1 Town player and 1 Mafia player, the Mafia will immediately win.
1. The
Main Thread has specific Team Mafia rules.
2. Replacements are the responsibility of each team. If a player has to be replaced by a game mod (generally 7 days of active game), half a game penalty will be assessed. Teams may find their replacement anywhere, but the
Sign Up Thread has a number of people who have volunteered to replace in.
3. Game deadlines, particularly Night deadlines, will be adjusted according to the speed of the other games. Twin trap in particular may have significant nights. Nightless will generally has shorter Day deadlines (and will use plurality lynch).
4. All mafia teams have Day Talk
5. All games have only two parties: a Mafia team and a Town team (or functionally similar teams in the case of theme games). There are no second Mafia teams, there are no third parties.
6.
Discussing Other Games Is Prohibited
except in certain circumstances (please see the full
Team Mafia Rules for more). Teams that violate this will be warned once, then penalties will be assessed against their team.
7. Teams will have access to all game PTs, but teammates should only post in those threads if they are the player actually in the game. Egoposts are not allowed.
8. Hydras, alt accounts, etc. will not be allowed in PTs.
9.Discussing Token allocation is allowed, but remember not to discuss things going on in other games (including any contradiction).
10. Because of the nature of this game, extended VLA should be avoided. If you have to be gone for longer than 7 days, your team should find a replacement -- either temporarily (you may replace back into the same slot -- or permanently.
