General Rules (slightly modified
BaM ruleset):
1.) Votes must be
bolded
and at the start of a line. If I don’t see it, I wont count it.
2.) Unvoting is nice, but not necessary.
3.) Once a majority is reached, that person is lynched.
4.) If there is no majority at deadline, there will be no lynch for that day.
5.) Day 1 will have an approximated deadline based on when the game starts – it will be no less than a week.
All following days will have a deadline of 7 days.
6.) Nights will have 48 hours maximum. Any night actions not submitted will simply not happen – the thread should be open 48 hours following a deadline lynch.
7.) Do not talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows you to.
8.) When you die, you are dead. Stay that way.
9.) Do not edit posts. Do not use invisible text. Do not use small text.
10.) Do not quote any communication from the mod (that includes PMs) in the game thread.
11.) If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, please let me know. See rule 12.
12.) If you do not post for a full deadline game day you will be modkilled. Further, you will be blacklisted from any future games using the BaM ruleset. Keep in mind that there are no replacements in a BaM ruleset game.
[Note from Vi: There are five replacements (saberwolf, Sironigous, chamber, Pomegranate, CSL) who would really, really like to play this game.
If you have to replace out, please ask one of them to take your place!]
13.) If you notice mistakes aside from the vote count, PM me. Bold notification about vote count issues in the thread.
14.) Play to win.
15.) Play with the spirit of the game in mind.
15.a.) This means ASK before you do something you think I might question. Questions are good. Modkills are bad. See rule 12.
16.) Have fun. Remember that everyone playing are actually real people and treat them as such.
17.)
Red
is my color. Don’t use it.
18.) Night actions are determined using
Natural Action Resolution.

Hawt New Game Mechanic Rules:
19.) Posts are capped at 450 words. Quotes do count toward this. I'm using
this, ftr.
20.) Each player has an individual cap on the number of posts they make.
21.) You may make a string of consecutive posts if you like (i.e. EBWOPs); the successive posts will not count toward your post cap unless the total words in all of that consecutive string of posts exceeds 450. For instance, if over four consecutive posts you use 451 words, I will count that as two posts.
22.) Talking to the mod (i.e. voting, asking questions to the mod) will not be counted toward your word cap. Please bold these. Please don't abuse this.
(
Mod: Is it okay if I say that I think _____ is obvscum because of his previous post?
The joke has been made; it's not funny.)
22.a) If you run out of posts, you may only make posts that do not count (see Rule 22). Basically, all you can do is vote.
23.) Posts that only contain mod communication do not count toward your cap.
