OVER (will update first post later)


???

<0> I am the Mod thy God. If a dispute arises, my decision is final. That said, I am not infallible - if I make a mistake or you have a question, please inform me of the problem (preferably via PM or bold text) and I will correct it.
<1> This is a game. I hope that you have fun. In return, I ask that you not have your fun at the expense of the other players in this game (in other words, don't be a jackass). Repeated or extreme violations of this rule will result in replacement or modkill.
<1a> Attempting to use loopholes in the rules to gain an advantage in the game is considered jackassery, and will be treated as such. This applies to things like encrypted codes, invisible text, editing and deleting posts, trying to use the structure of the role PM to gain an advantage, etc. Please, use your common sense!
<2> If there is a conflict between a role and the rules, the role wins.
<3> Claiming that another player is your scumbuddy will result in a modkill.
<4> Quoting private communications (role PM, mason conversations, etc.) or pretending to do the same will result in a modkill. Paraphrasing, however, is not only acceptable but encouraged unless I explicitly say otherwise.
<5> You may not talk with other people about this game outside of the thread (but see Rule 2).
<6> This game will have both a vote count and a FoS (Finger of Suspicion) count. All players will have 1 vote and 1 FoS (but see Rule 2).
<6a> In a Normal game, the FoS count will have no effect on the game other than breaking voting ties at deadline. Theme games make no such guarantee. (Especially not this one!)
<7> To help the game run smoothly, votes and FoS'es should be made in bold text, and use the format Vote: XXXX and FoS: XXXX, respectively. An unvote and/or unFoS is required to remove a vote or FoS; to unvote or unFoS, please use the format Unvote: XXXX or UnFoS: XXXX.
<8> If a player or No Lynch has a majority of votes, that player is lynched and cannot be unvoted. You may talk during twilight unless I state otherwise.
<8a> If there are an even number of votes in play and No Lynch has exactly 50% of votes, No Lynch will occur.
<9>
<10> If deadline occurs without a full majority and a majority of voting players are voting for a player, that player will be lynched. Otherwise, No Lynch will occur.
<11> You may elect to No Lynch any number of times during the course of the game. In order to No Lynch, one of the two following conditions must be met: either a majority of living players must vote no lynch, or no player receives a majority of votes before deadline. (To vote No Lynch, please use the format Vote: No Lynch. FoS'es for No Lynch will not be counted.)
<12> Don't drink and post, lest ye receive Public Humilitation. (This rule is an injoke and doesn't actually do anything.)
<13> This is a modified Deep South setup, therefore there are no nights in this game. All abilities must be submitted during the game day and will resolve at the end of day unless otherwise stated.
<14> When you die, stop posting. You may make a single "Bah!"/"Frak you!"/etc. post in the thread. You may not include game content in this post. In addition, once you are dead, please do not discuss the game with anyone other than the Mod until the game is over, as this makes the mod's life easier.
<15> All players need to post at least once every 72 hours, or inform me if this is not possible. If you do not post for 72 hours, you will be prodded. If you are prodded, then you will need to post something (a simple "/prodded" will suffice if you're short on time) within 72 hours or you will be replaced. You will receive an Official Warning the second time you fail to post for more than 72 hours. The third time you fail to post for 72 hours, you will be replaced.
<15a> If you have limited access, you need to post to this effect, either in V/LA or in the thread. If I prod you despite you declaring V/LA status, call me on it and I will be duly embarrassed.
<15b> If you post before I get around to handing out the prod, you avoid the prod.
<16> Players may only use one special ability per day (but see Rule 2). Passive abilities and factional abilities are not counted as special abilities for purposes of this rule.
<17> This game will start on Day 1 after all players have confirmed (by the method specified in their role PM).
<18> Any player who is modkilled automatically loses the game. I will modkill in the fashion that I deem most damaging to the modkilled player's faction.
<19> I reserve the right to add rules if necessary (or if I really, really want to).
<20> Okay, that's enough formal-sounding stuff. Good luck, have fun!
<21> Game-specific rule: Whenever a player breaks a rule that is not punishable by modkill, they will be informed that they have committed a rule infraction and told the post number where they broke a rule. For every 5 rules infractions incurred, the guilty player will require 1 fewer vote to lynch. (If the rule broken was a temporary rule, then its associated rules infractions will be removed when the rule is removed.)
<23> Until further notice, if a player would vote for another player, that player will instead vote for the player directly below the intended votee in the player list.
<25> Each game day will begin with a nonnegotiable deadline of 21 days in place unless stated otherwise.



<0> The first rule is that I cannot tell you any of the other rules.
<22> This day will have a non-retractable deadline of 5 real-life days (120 hours).
<24> The next time a player would be lynched, instead that player's alignment will be revealed via official Mod message (functions as a Sane Cop investigation) and the vote count will be reset. This does not end the day.

That's a very good question, isn't it?



Exactly what I said the last two times times. What are you, ignorant of history? (Not to mention illiterate?)



Not necessarily. I recommend you look up a little piece of philosophy called Pascal's Wager. It might be somewhat relevant to this situation. Also, check your history again.



And how do you know that, again? *laughs*



Did I not say that I cannot tell you any of the other rules?



Once again, I would like to remind you that I cannot tell you any of the other rules. Don't worry, only a bastard Mod would let a deadline sneak up on you without any warning... while requiring a full majority for a lynch... and having a role in the game that becomes the sole winner should you no lynch...

... hmm, maybe you should lynch really, really quickly.


You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment. *cackles evilly*



It might be an indicator that you screwed up and broke the rules somehow. It might be the result of a game mechanic. It might, in fact, be the same mechanic that appeared in both previous Mind Screw Mafia games.

Or, it might be that your Mod is a bastard Mod and is just placing "Rules Infraction" at the end of random posts.

You decide!



I am not at liberty to reply to that question, either.



Now, now, that would be telling!



Reread your role PM, please. I sincerely doubt that your ability is supposed to be sent in at night. Especially not given that my last four games have all been Twilight setups.



That's your, well, Ultimate. Each player has an Ultimate - a 1-shot special ability (passive or active) with an unusual effect that can be used only if a special condition (given near the end of your role PM) is met.



Yes you do. Check your role PM/quit lying/check to see if the Mod made an error.



Yes. Quit asking. I'd hate to have to modkill in yet another one of my games.

. What context?

Beyond my meta, this is a very smart thing to do

Also, this time I've got Alice's note.

The mod is a player in this game.

Didnt' you die doing that last time?

Oh a vote on DGB and it' not my birthday.



BW hoe!!

Regarding the votes. Im thinking scum had to send some fixed votes and FOSes to people for confirming.

for being right before me in the player list.

Why does DGB already have a vote? Or two, counting farside22's.

populartajo wrote:Regarding the votes. Im thinking scum had to send some fixed votes and FOSes to people for confirming.

Why assume scum first with that type of power?

did it specifically say "the mod is a player in the game"?
if you can, please write exactly how it was given to you.
i'm just curious on this subject because I received the role w/ alice's note last game and i know there's a lot of trickery involved in it.

for always looking scummy from what i've read

Didnt' you die doing that last time?

No, actually, I died because I posted within the first 17 posts. If 17 posts had passed before I did that, I also would have died. Essentially, I just wanted to misdirect people so if they decided to lynch Tar I wouldn't get lynched (Wasn't sure if votes for Tar counted as votes for me)

MS 1, Tarhalindur was a role in the game
MS 2, Tarhalindur was both a role in the game and he was a player (Chairman Mao). I think he was town aligned though, or at least self aligned
MS 3. I would not be surprised if Tarhalindur were scum.

I said what I read. But the phrasing could mean anything, just like it did in the other games.

in MS 2, the role name Tarhalindur was also a role (NatirashaSK)

Tarhalindur (3) - forbiddanlight, populartajo

3 for Tar with 2 votes?

in MS 2, the role name Tarhalindur was also a role (NatirashaSK)

That's what I meant. Tar's role was Bastard modgod

When something strange happens, the first thing I think is scum. Then I consider other probs.
Meanwhile...
FL just lost a FOS and somehow transmited it to Tarh.
Im not involved, BTW.

forbiddan can you write in who you're quoting?
sorry if it's just me, but it is MUCH easier to read and follow the game that way

I love this crossposting. Ill let you test first, FL.

Always wanted to do this while playing

We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him."

No idea. Anyone get this reference? (His references tend to relate to role sources in the game, and it's also fun to guess)

why? especially considering Mind Screw 2

p.s. I already suggested this in the sign-up but everybody should read Mind Screw and Mind Screw II
