VOTING:
For votes to count, they need to be bolded and in similar format to this -->
Vote: Player Name
. If you want to cancel your vote, it must also be bolded -->
Unvote
. You MUST unvote before voting for someone else.
2.
DAY PHASE:
Vote, and junk. There will be a universal deadline of 3 weeks for every phase. If no one reaches the needed votes for a lynch by the time of deadline, there will be no lynch at all that day.
3.
NIGHT PHASE:
Thread shall be locked tight until the next day begins. This phase will last a maximum of 72 hours. Those of you with night actions can send them to my PM box as early as you want. You can also make a list of players to use an action on, in order, just in case your top choice(s) don't make it to nightfall.

NIGHT TALKING:
A Quicktopic is made for living players who aren't patient enough for the end of the night. I will allow living players to make 1 post each night phase in the QT and will post in bold lettering whenever no more talking is allowed - generally, whenever the night phase is over. You cannot edit your posts after 5 minutes past the time stamp, and any posts you delete will count towards the allocated 1 you are allowed.
4.
PARTICIPATION:
If you are not involved in this game, please do not post in any related threads to the game. Please inform me of any online access issues that may effect your appearance in the game. Once you are dead, you are allowed to make
daily fluff post
(Bah, go town, etc.). I encourage activity from everyone during day phases, and it is required of you to post at least every
96 hours
, otherwise I poke you with a hot cattle-prod. 48 hours of inactivity past the initial prod will earn a 2nd prod. Don't PM me to tell me you're still breathing;
post in the thread.
Who cares if you're alive or not? Not me. All I care about is activity, which is why I will consider replacing you if you go
without a post for a week
. A replacement will be sought as soon as the 2nd prod is issued, and failure to act upon the prod will see you swapped for another player.
5.
ROLES/CLAIMS:
All forms of claiming are allowed, but you are
not allowed to quote your role PM
. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you have a question about your role, I prefer you PM me about it so I don't reveal much to influence the others' gameplay. I will allow you to ask me a question in thread, but I may feel the need to answer via PM rather than publicly. If I PM you any such information,
do not
directly quote or paraphrase my message. It was PM'd for a reason.
6.
EDITING:
Do not edit your post for any reason. If you feel the need to add or make a correction, just make a second post.

STORYLINE:
Didn't complete a certain Square Enix game yet? No biggie. I won't spoil events or endings, but I may use characters you have yet to encounter. This series of mafia games depicts a non-canon story using the progress of players' factions as well as various figures from products of Square Enix Holdings Company, Ltd.

FLAVOR:
The references I use (characters, locations, items)
may or may not
have relevance or relation to the roles you all have received. In the interest of a flavorful story, I will use any reference I see fitting at the time but it does not (always) indicate anything about the players. I will be writing with characters not even used for roles in this current game, as well as characters you (the players) mention. Characters
may appear in future games
as legit roles, but, in the meantime, I will create scenes for mere enjoyment rather than depending on the relation to your individual roles.
8.
RELEVANCE:
Stay on the topic of the game. No bickering or personal attacks. Joking around is cool, but let's keep it civil. E-beef can ruin a game in an instant, so help keep the spirit up. You
are allowed
to speak about other games as long as either 1) The game is over, or 2) The game is ongoing but the Mod has given you permission to speak about that particular game.
9.
OUTSIDE DISCUSSION:
Just don't do it. Don't talk to anyone about it at all. Not your grandma, mother, best friend, and ESPECIALLY not anyone on the site. You'll be modkilled instantly if caught, and you will be caught.
10.
OFFENSES:
Violation of my law is not cool. Like, not at all. I can tolerate honest mistakes, however - 1st time petty offenders get a warning; 2nd time petty offenders will be made voteless, and can continue playing. 3rd time petty offenders will be penalized in some fashion, and I don't mean Gucci or Prada. Serious offenders, violators, terrorists and rapists alike will be modkilled. Being modkilled means this game is an auto-loss for you, even if your faction won. Better yet, it's a double loss.
