1) This is a game. Please try to act in a respectful manner towards everyone.
2) Play to win, but also to have fun. See rule 1.
3) I will post in either green or dark green. I may use italics, bold, underlined, or anything else in green. Just stay away from green text. I know what I’ve written.
4) Please try to keep your profanity to a minimum. I understand that there are times where it's necessary, but in mafia, there aren't many, so rein it in a bit. I will forcibly replace you if I feel your behavior is threatening too many people's fun.
5) Do not quote any private communications with me or other players. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in modkill. If you have a question about whether something is acceptable, PM me.
6) You may not talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows, whether you’re dead or not. Feel free to talk to me though, especially if you‘re dead. I’m available for listening to rants, getting told how bad the setup and/or flavor is, or listening to what people think about the game in general.
7) Do not edit or delete your posts. There are reasons for this, which I will explain if necessary. If I catch you, you will be modkilled.
Activity Levels and Prods:
8) I expect everyone to post every 72-96 hours. Failure to do so will result in an official prod, unless you have informed me of V/LA status either in thread or via PM. The more I prod you, the more I'll dislike you. The more I dislike you, the more likely I'll just replace you instead of prodding you.
9) Players may request an unofficial prod on another player at any time, either by PM or by posting in thread. This should only be done if it's been a while since someone has posted, and someone expects them to answer a question.
10) Not picking up an official prod within 48 hours will result in replacement.
Voting, Lynches, and Deadlines:
11) Please vote in bold, such as
vote: Cow
. You do not have to unvote when changing votes, although it might be helpful. You may use nicknames and acronyms when voting, as long as it is clear exactly whom you are referring to.
12) A lynch will require the votes of a majority of players. When a majority is reached, no further votes/unvotes will be counted.
13) Days will last for a maximum of 3 weeks. If you do not have a majority when deadline arrives, there will be no lynch
14) Posting in twilight is acceptable, for both the lynchee and town members. Feel free to post as much or as little as you want of whatever you like.(Really blatant and unhealthy amounts of spam will probably be deleted, however.)
15) Once your death scene is posted, you may make only one ‘Bah’ post. Make sure it has no game relevant information, or someone on your team will be punished for your screw-up.
15.5) All night and day deadlines are at 11 PM EST
16) If you fake breaking a rule, it will incur the same punishment as actually breaking the rule.
17) If you believe I have made a small mistake, for example, in a vote count, please point it out in thread. If you have a more serious grievance for some reason, PM me. Leave it out of the thread.
18) My word is final. If you have a problem with it, see rule 17.
19) I reserve the right to add rules if necessary.
Time Slots:
Each channel is allotted a certain number of words per post. Quoted Text is not included in this count. This will stay the same even if your show changes. Choices: Small(100), Medium(300), Large(750), X-Large(1250). There is also a Tiny(25) slot, useable only for FCC Enforcement purposes.
No Reruns:
You may not double post, unless it has been 12 hours since your last post. If you do, it will be deleted and necessary FCC Enforcement will occur. However, if you accidentally double post due to forum freakout, I will simply delete it, and nothing bad will happen.
Long Recaps are Boring:
you may only use one set of [quote] tags, although you may have quotes inside those quotes. However, please follow the spirit of the rule, by not combining multiple things into the same tag. Words inside the [quote] tags are not counted against your total.
FCC Enforcement:
If these are not followed, the first time will result in a warning, the second will result in a time slot one smaller than your current one, and the third will result in full show cancellation(modkill)
Multiple shows:
Due to the fact that a channel is not just made up of one show, each of you have the opportunity to change your show with your “switch task”. If you complete this task, your show will change. This could make your role better, or worse. You will not find out until you switch.
Town Win Condition:
The win condition in every town role PM is some variation of "you win when all anti-town players have been killed"
If you have any questions on any rules, please ask me instead of being confused
