The Rules

• General
  • The site-wide rules apply.
    
  • Do not try to hide information within your posts by using encryption, invisible/white text or similar means. If you are unsure whether what you're trying to do is allowed or not, please PM me.
    
  • If you're dead (which is the case in the precise moment I announce your death), refrain from posting at all.
    
  • All Mod communication should go through PMs, please do not request me to do things in thread. You may never quote anything you received as PM from me.
    
  • Added on 2009-15-12: You may never quote anything from a QuickTopic.
    
  • I am not a lawyer, so if you think the rules have holes, please let me know. If you exploit such a hole, expect to be mod-killed.
• Voting
  • A proper vote must be bolded, include the word "vote" and something that I can trace back to one of the players. This may be the whole name or an abbreviation. Please make sure that I understand whom you mean to vote for. Otherwise, your vote won't count.
    
  • Unvotes are not necessary, but I'm sure the other players would appreciate them.
    
  • If you want to unvote without voting someone else, use a bolded "unvote".
• Deadlines
  • All game days will be deadlined to (PLAYERS_ALIVE/2+7 real days).
    
  • I reserve the right to alter the deadline under extreme circumstances.
    
  • There is no reduced deadline lynch majority.
  
  
• Lynching
  • Once an absolute majority of votes is reached, the player in question is removed from the game. This does not end the game day, but the vote count resets.
    
  • There is no limit on the number of lynches per game day.
• Actions
  • Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any player may submit one personal and one group action each day. The regular deadline applies.
    
  • Personal actions have to be submitted by PM, Group actions in the relevant Quicktopic.
    
  • Choices must be bolded and it must be reasonably clear to me which action(s) you take (if more than one is available) and whom the target(s) is/are supposed to be.
    
  • The submitter of a group action will be the one carrying it out.
    
  • Group actions may be vetoed (again, bolded) in the Quicktopic at which point they become invalid and may not be attempted to be used again that day.
    
  • If you submit more group actions than you are allowed to (by default: 1), I will keep them by order of submittal. The dropped actions will silently fail.
    
  • If the submitter of a group action gets lynched, the action may be resubmitted by another group member.
    
  • If the target of any action gets lynched, it may be resubmitted.
• End of Day
  • I will, as soon as possible and in that order:
    • Reveal all lynches of the day.
      
    • Process all actions and send out the results. All actions that were submitted before the deadline hit are treated the same. The precise moment does not matter.
      
    • Reveal all resulting deaths .
      
    • Announce the new deadline.
  • The vote count will reset, but the thread will remain open.
    
  • Reveals will include the full Role PM of the dead player, including group memberships, excluding group details. All active and passive abilities will be revealed, but for the sake of brevity, the first post will only contain a catchy role name and link to the actual Role PM. While alive, players don't know their catchy role name.
• Participation
  • I expect each of you to post at least once every three days. (Some leniency will be applied on week-ends)
    
  • I will prod you if you don't. This will be announced in thread by me and you will have to answer the prod by posting in thread.
    
  • If prods are not answered or if I have to prod you repeatedly, I will replace you.
    
  • If no replacements can be found in a reasonable time, I will have to modkill you.
• Information
  • I will try to post a vote count near the top of every page.
    
  • Additionally the first post will always contain the most current vote count and all other information you need.

Notes:

• The Cop ability may or may not be accompanied with sanity confirmation.
  
• The result of a Cop investigation will be either "Guilty", "Not Guilty" or "No Result".
  
• These abilities will receive a "Yes" if the action is successful and the target meets the stated criteria: Gunsmith, Nightwatchman.

• These abilities will receive "No Result" if the action fails or if the action has no results: Gunsmith, Nightwatchman, Role Cop, Tracker, Watcher.
  
• In short, the only ability that can tell whether or not it failed is the Cop.

List of Ability Modifiers:

• 1-Shot: You can use your ability only once.

• Compulsive: You have to use your ability each day.

  Ability: x
  Target: y
  Result: z
  
• The following Modifiers only apply to Group Abilities: Collaboration, Final Chance, Final Chance+, Group-only, Non-group, Solist.

List of Passive Abilities:

• Bulletproof Vest: You can survive one attempt at your life.

Those that have access to QuickTopics are free to use them at any time, including before this thread opens.

[TDC]

I would like to point out that the same rule that applies to things coming from me, applies to the quicktopics. You may paraphrase but not quote or post screenshots (which is for all I'm concerned the same thing as quoting).
If you are concerned whether what you're going to post will go through as paraphrase, please aks me before you post.
I will add this clarification to the rules.

"I declare the Games open!"
"What?"
"I said 'I declare the Games open'!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"

[Sanhora]

Not interested. Two reasons:
-I likez bandagon on Tubby.
-bad articles.

[Pyotr C. Romanof]

Time and again, the czar scanned the index of participants, and time and again his eyes fell upon the same names:

iamausername

,

tatetothetot

,

TheButtonmen

. His fists clenched with rage, and suddenly there swept over him a desire to seize the data processing machine by its brass-framed monitor and tear it apart, smash it on the marble walls till the clockworks unraveled and rattled down the gas-lit corridor. Damn to the depths these men, these impostors, who dared register names nearly as long as his own. The poseurs! He'd have them lynched, oh, yes, he would. Each and every one of them.

Only—he hadn't a clue where to start. Woe was the czar, for he was awash with that most dreadful impairment

Lo! Before long, Sopianae—a fine gentleman, the czar knew, if only by virtue of his humbly short name—solved the czar's problem for him.

Tubby, not sure such a thing would be good for anyone but the mafia. Feel free to elaborate.

[tubby216]

Tubby, not sure such a thing would be good for anyone but the mafia. Feel free to elaborate.

ok first off its a way to get us out of this rvs.
second with it being ten players its larger enough that scum would not be able to dominate it,

third with it only being 10 players its not large enough to take over the town, at least not day 1.

fourth it makes a game with in a game wich makes it eaier to find scumm in my opinion.

fith since we cannot pm one another about the game all talk with in the pact will be in the full view of the entire town, thus makeing it easier to see slips tells etc.

sixth it forces conversation, wether you are for or agianst it, then if it actually gets started it forces active participation. since people will be trying to move the pact forward or trying to tear it down either way it works

[Bogre]

Howdy guys.

I am a miller. The first time playing one, I agree with the immediate claiming rather than hoping to not be investigated, as per the discussion on playing millers in the mafia discussion thread.

Questions/comments?

[Sanhora]

Sure, it's very likely that scum can't dominate it (Not unlikely. Though you seem sure this is the case. Any reason why?), but it does give them the opportunity to hide. Either within the pact, outside the pact or the pact being a huge distraction. In other words, it giing something to talk about isn't useful if it's not the right thing to talk about.
I'm glad that you can see that the third point is only valid this day and perhaps one or a few days more. However, your plan is for the pact to be in play the whole game.
I don't see how it make it easier for players to slip.

Short stated, I think it will be a huge distraction as many arguments will be pro-pact or anti-pact, instead of focusing on those players inside pro-pact or anti-pact. It also divides the town into two.

I'm still against it.

[tubby216]

@sanhora, i feel its highly unlikely that the scum would have enough numbers to make up a majority in a 10 player group, and even so some scum from that scum group would aviod it like the plague, so purely by numbers alone the pact would be mostly town driven. and it is useful since it put a large minority soon to be majority under a mirco scope, its far easy to hide in a large pond than it is to hide in a small one.

@borge i am content with your claim since i have tried to get claimed millers lynched before and no one listens

[Sanhora]

Once again, at the start perhaps. However, your rules don't work together, Tubby.
The only thing that I can agree with is that it's highly unlikely that the scum will dominate it. But they still have something to say if they are in it.

[Benmage]

The rvs is cute, and i enjoy the fun banter...But screw it...lets do the policy lynch phase...with a quick skim of the players (theres a few I dont recognize) the others don't see worth policy lynching...So I open the floor, doesn't anyone have past experience with players here that would warrant a policy lynch?

, Policy lynch at the end of D1 when we at least have a days worth of information, not at the start.

@ Pyotr C. Romanof

Don't worry your name is a letter long!

[TheButtonmen]

So I open the floor, doesn't anyone have past experience with players here that would warrant a policy lynch?

No, but thats not saying much I have limited experiance on MS.

So I open the floor, doesn't anyone have past experience with players here that would warrant a policy lynch?

No, but thats not saying much I have limited experiance on MS.

Nor do I, but I probably wouldn't be happy with a policy lynch anyway, unless it's a really good reason to do it.
