Rules
(Stolen and modified from Oman, who stole and modified them from Crub, who probably theifed them from meme in some way)
[01]
Votes must be in bold.
If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
[02]
It would be appreciated if you unvote,
if necessary, before casting a new vote. I do not require it, though.
[03]
Lynching will require a simple majority of votes.
Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post and pm in twilight, though.
[04] You may vote: No Lynch. Majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
[05] I will impose a deadline if discussion lags. If I impose a day deadline, no one will be lynched if the deadline hits with no one reaching the required number of votes.
Someone stumping will lift a deadline.
[07]
Do not discuss this game outside the thread unless your role states it.
No-one may post in the thread when I declare it night (In case I don't lock it).
[08]
Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
Not even a “Bah!” post. Just, just stop. Fingers off the keys. You're no longer breathing. Save it for after the game is over.
[09] No small or invisible text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.
[10]
Don’t quote any PMs from me or other players. If you do, I will cast Finger of Modkill on you.
Also, if you have anything sneaky or dicey such as screenshots, cryptography etc, please PM me and check.
[11]
If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline.
I will not wait for you. If you do not submit a choice to me, its a No Choice.
If you have a power and don't want to use it PM me "none" "no action" or similar to keep the game fast.
[12] If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread or PM me. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[13] Unlike Oman (and like Crub) I am fallible.
If I make a mistake, let me know. It can be either by PM or in-thread.
In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, please correct me, or your (incorrect) vote may be counted as I placed it.
[14] There is no Rule 6
[15]
Green texts are my mod texts.
Please don't use them.
I know what I write, and if you try to pass yourself off as me, you shall feel pain.
[16] Any Role PM that contradicts one of these rules overrides the general rule.
[17]
Play to win this game.
Do not use it to build a meta-game of yourself for other games,
Also,
all players must read their role PMs
and understand their role before playing. If you have a question PM me.
[18] Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod.
Set-up
(Stolen and modified from Thok)
This is an
Open
game! The roles are as follows:
9 people will receive the following Role PM:
Mod wrote:You are a Tree! Not leaping from tree to tree!
If you choose, you may commit suicide at any time during the day by posting "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!". Doing this will kill you, reveal your role in thread, reset the vote counts and keep day going. However, you will still be able to keep posting in the thread after saying this phrase (but not if lynched or nightkilled).
Otherwise, your only powers are to post, think, and vote.
You win when all Lumberjacks are dead.
Please confirm in the thread.
3 people will receive the following Role PM:
Mod wrote:You are a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree! The Mafia is comprised of [NAME], [NAME], and [NAME], whom you may talk to whenever you like.
Each night you may target a tree or a tree stump, and kill them. Trees or stumps killed this way will no longer be able to post in thread.
If you choose, you may commit suicide at any time during the day by posting "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!". Doing this will kill you, reveal your role in thread, reset the vote counts and keep day going. However, you will still be able to keep posting in the thread after saying this phrase (but not if lynched or nightkilled).
You win when there are at least as many Lumberjacks as Trees alive. Tree stumps do not count as Trees or Lumberjacks for purpose of this win condition.
Please confirm in the thread.
Game-Specific Rules
(Stolen and modified from Thok)
[1] I will not be strict on requiring proper spelling for the Tree Stump activation phrase. Any phrase that is reasonably close to "I didn't want this role. I wanted to be a Lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!" will be considered an attempt to become a tree stump. I suggest you don't try to fake this, or it may be interpretted as an actual stumping, and will be resolved as such.
[2] I will appreciate it if any person who is attempting to become a Tree Stump sends me a PM. This is not necessary, but it would make my life easier.
[3] If you want to know how something will affect you, please send me a PM.
[4] We will have a day start. The thread will open and the game will start when 11 of the 12 people have picked up their Role PM.
[5] Trees that have stumped themselves will
not
be replaced if they flake
