Rules

(Shamelessly stolen from Firebringer, who took from other moderators)

General

1. I am the Mod and what I say goes. I reserve the right to change the rules or modkill/force-replace players as I see fit. If this happens, all players will be made aware of this fact.
   
2. That being said it is very possible I may make a mistake, no one's perfect, if you see a mistake, let me know. If you have questions, comments or whatever feel free to PM me.
   
3. Preface all in-thread messages to the mod with
   @Mod
   .
   
4. Punishment for breaking any of the following rules is on a case-by-case basis and is therefore not fixed.
   
5. This is a game. Play to win, and have fun, because what’s the point if it’s not fun?
   
6. DO NOT TALK ABOUT ONGOING GAMES.
   
   
7. Do not quote mod communication or out-of-thread communication. Paraphrasing of both is allowed. You may not post post-by-post logs of external communications, however you may refer to specific posts.
   
8. Do not try to use mod decisions as evidence for anyone's alignment unless they have flipped (so if a modkill is done and alignment is not revealed you may decide what alignment they were, as that does not constitute angleshooting).
   
9. All Global Site Rules Apply
   
10. All Normal Mafia Rules Apply

Posting and Voting

1. I hereby reserve the color
   #00BFFF
   for mod use. Don't use it.
   
2. Do not use invisible, encrypted, or ridiculously small text. Everything posted in the game thread should be public. Keep font sizes above tiny as a general rule.
   
3. All votes must be written in
   bold
   or use the VOTE: Player tag. Unvotes are helpful, but not necessary.
   
4. Votes may
   not
   be contained inside quote, code, area, or spoiler tags.
   
5. A lynch is reached when day ends and a majority of all players, half players alive plus one, are voting for the same person. If plurality is on at deadlines end if no majority is reached the person with the most votes is lynched. If there is a tie the person who reached the current highest number of votes first is lynched.

Activity and Deadlines

1. This games has day phases last fourteen real life days and night phases that last 2 real life days.
   
2. Failure to post once every 48 hours, will result in a prod.
   
3. If you fail to respond to your prod in 24 hours, you will be replaced. You may return before being replaced at the cost of an additional counted prod.
   
4. If you get three prods without improvement you will automatically be replaced.
   
5. Hydra heads must both be active to not get prodded. If one of the heads would need replacing alone the other head will be messaged with a query of their willingness to play alone.
   
6. If you are going V/LA please notify me in advance
   
7. A replacement may request that phase be extended up to 48 hours upon replacing in.
   
8. Being V/LA over the night will result in a force replacement without notice if you have not been active during your V/LA period.

Game Setup

Basics:

1. Scum will not have day chat.
   
2. This game is confirmed to have one scum faction.

Starman Junior: Very well. Your will shall be done.

-199X, just north of Onett-

Starman Junior: It's been a long time Buzz Buzz. I see you've made some new friends.
Buzz Buzz: what do you mean?
Starman Junior: I mean the hero you have sought. Master Giygas knows the boy is important to your plans. We seek to take him.
Buzz Buzz: Ha! You think you can win by yourself?
Starman Junior: No. Yet I'm not alone. Starman Army attack!

BOOM CRASH CLANG CRASH

Pokey: Ah! Don't hurt me!
Picky: This is horrible! Ness got taken out in one fell swoop!
Buzz Buzz: We must find the other heroes and inform them of the problem quickly! Picky and Pokey, go to Twoson! I'll head to Winters and then Dalaam! We must not lose the other heroes!

-A few days later, Twoson-

Buzz Buzz: You are all here today because we must strike back against Giygas. He has taken Ness and many others and is keeping them at Stonehenge base. The plan is to take all of us and assualt the base. Whilst we may not be all strong, we can still do much when we work together.
Picky: *whispers*
Buzz Buzz: What is it child? You say you suspect there may be agents of Giygas among us? well then if that's the case then we'll have to sniff them out. I propose a debate and democratic deliberation on whom the agents are. I shall be nearby, when you have decided who you think an agent is please knock on the door to Everdred's shack, I should be able to hear it if I'm around. We'll use the Chaos Theatre to contain the suspects. This seems good. Get to it!

Or maybe the hydras I've played with in the past didn't understand, if that's my experience?

Appreciate the clear representation from both hydras so far though

[InfernoBrafin]

Inferno: No problem.

[InfernoBrafin]

Brafin: I find the whole "I don't like hydras" thing fishy. That seems really biased against hydras, and a great, scummy way for a non-hydra to say "He's scummy because he's not accounting for the other hydra."
Inferno, I'd like to shift our vote to acryon.

[InfernoBrafin]

Brafin: Also,

@MOD

, can we talk from our normal accounts, or must we always post from the hydra?

Please post from only hydra for the convenience of others when reading your ISO.

That's fair. Although if you look at some of my older games with hydra (only a couple), you'll see a similar sentiment there. I've just had bad experiences playing with hydras because they became lynchbait because the heads had conflicting opinions.

[InfernoBrafin]

Infenro: Hmm, an interesting thought, Brafin. I'm not sure that at this point, the post you mentioned is AI, however, and I think some other people need to start communicating before we move out of RVS.
P-edit: Thanks, Gamma!

[TheGoldenParadox]

Two things -
1) Can all hydras please put the names of their heads in their signature and
2) Sing and Slay, please get an avatar. Thanks.

[BuJaber]

Sup

VOTE: infernobrafin can I vote inferno only?
Nothing against him there's just something.. I don't know. Robotic? About his tone.

I'm skipping RVS. I am outright calling him scummy.

[BuJaber]

@mod - my access might be limited until saturday. I should still be able to post once a day easily but this is a heads up in case I can't.

[InfernoBrafin]

Inferno: RUDE! I'm just approaching the game objectively! Skipping RVS like this and calling half of a hydra scummy is really dumb.
VOTE: BuJaber

[InfernoBrafin]

Brafin:

Not only am I insulted by your dislike of only half of our hydra (I always get excluded ), you're trying to jumpstart the actual voting phase before everyone gets here, and you have nothing against him but "find him scummy." You can't even tell us

why

it seems suspect to you. This feels super contrived and planned out, not to mention scummy as crud. Thoughts, 'Ferno?

Please be careful with dark colors, as I use mafBlack and that makes them hard to see. No punishment will be handed out if they're used but your post will be edited for clarity.

That answers my question.
