The rules, stolen from ShadowLurker and Quagmire. With a minor edit or two:
Da Rules
Rules of Conduct
01. Use common sense. This means no excessive flaming or anything prohibited on these forums.
02. You may not communicate outside of this thread unless you are explicitly told so by the mod.
03. Do not use invisible text, extremely small text, color=black, or any other methods of concealing text.
04. Players who have not posted in 5 days will be automatically prodded. A person will be replaced if a prod is not picked up in 72 hours.
05. Please bold all votes such as
Vote: ShadowLurker
. Even if I see an unbolded vote, I will NOT count it. Unvotes are not required.
06. Discussion may occur in twilight. Twilight ends when I post the lynch scene.
07. Once you are dead, you are dead. This means NO "BAH" POSTS WHATSOEVER.
08. If you do not wish to use a night choice, please submit "none." Nights will usually last 72 hours unless a request for an extension is PMed, and if I do not receive a night choice, I will assume no action.
09. All questions about your role, or questions/comments related to my decisions should be directed to PM and not in-thread. If I think the answer should be made public knowledge, I will post the question and answer.
10. At deadline, there will be no lynch unless a majority has been reached. Days will have no set deadline unless I see discussion lagging, in which case I'll impose a deadline.
11. Lastly, keep in mind that this is a game and you play it to have FUN! Please do not intentionally try to ruin the game for others as it discourages them from playing.
12. NEW GAME-SPECIFIC RULE: No quoting directly from the mod. You
01. Each day, the Town has an option of lynching a person. This requires a majority of votes on that person to occur. The town may decide to lynch nobody. A day will be as long as required for a deadline to hit or consensus to be reached.
02. Voting occurs by a simple
Vote: Player
and to unvote, just write
Unvote
. Unbolded votes will not be counted. To vote for a no lynch, just type
Vote: No Lynch
. No Lynch requires a majority of voters in order to be executed.
03. Days will have no set deadline unless I see discussion lagging, in which case I'll impose a deadline.
04. Nights will always be a minimum of 3 days unless all choices are in. If I have not received a choice by the time night ends, I will assume you are choosing not to use your action. Prods may or may not be sent out during night.
05. Please check the game every 72 hours. If you will be away for a period of time longer than 72 hours, please let me know. Prods may be requested on anyone who has not posted within 24 hours and people who have not posted within 5 days will be autoprodded. I will try to make a vote count every page and vote counts may be requested.
06.
I do not check the V/LA thread. Please PM me if you are going to be away for an extended period of time, or you will be in danger of being replaced.
07. Remember to HAVE FUN! This is your game as well as mine, let's make it fun.
08. ooc is my color. Don't use it.

I have a degree in bullshit. I have patents on entire lines of bullshit. So don't sit here and feed me a line of bullshit and think that I'm not going to recognize it as one.

It's always nice to see something new, and since I've seen the day 1 page 2 random bandwagon, i figured i'd go for the page 1. Probably not getting there though .
I am sure this should go without saying but you never know.
In this game more than most we need to take a great deal of care with lynches because it is a no reveal game. A lynch gives us no information. We should always lynch the most scummy IMO.
Internet @ home could be out for up to 14 days (so they tell me unless I find another provider). I'll be low activity till then.
