1) The site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.
1a) Do not edit posts. Do not use invisible text. Do not use small text.
2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread.
3) Do not quote any communication you have with me, the moderator of the game. Depending on the circumstance, you may be able to paraphrase things I have sent you (such as a role PM). Use common sense and if you are unsure feel free to ask me via PM.
4) Be courteous to your fellow player. This is just a game - please don't bring personal grudges into the game. Try and keep it civil. Though I don’t mind cursing.
4a) Do not speak using all caps. It is rude and annoying.
4b) Don't be annoying.
Voting, Lynching & Death
5) For your vote to be counted, it must be
bold
, and in the form
Vote: sorasgoof
or you may use the vote tag, in the form VOTE: sorasgoof
5a) Unvotes
are
necessary. I may just not count your vote if you don’t bother to unvote.
6) A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% +1 of the votes. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight. Night will begin as soon as I have declared the lynch.
6a) If a lynch has not been achieved by the end of the day, the player with the most votes will be considered lynched. If there are multiple players with the most votes, whichever player reached that number of votes first will be considered lynched.
7) You may vote for a “No Lynch” if desired. If 50% of the players in the game vote for a no lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch. You can do this in the form
Vote: No Lynch
or VOTE: No Lynch.
8) Once you're dead, you are dead. But who doesn’t appreciate a good “bah” post? Your “bah” post must be funny and should include a picture or a moving animation.
Activity & Deadlines
9) Treat this game as a commitment, and try your best to stay active.
10) Prods will be issued after 48 hours without posting. If I prod you multiple times, I may get angry and replace you. Players may request a prod on another player after 24 hours. I'm human I may forget, though probably not, so if you want someone prodded, just tell me.
10a) If you do not open a prod within 24 hours of it being sent I will begin looking for a replacement.
10b) If you do not post for the equivalent of a full game day (at least six days long) you will be modkilled at the end of the day.
11) Things come up in life, if you need time off for something, please let myself and the players know in-thread and in a PM to the moderator for V/LA purposes. I will be flexible, but if you can't be here for a significant amount of time I may replace you.
11a) If you need replacement, come prepared with a valid reason for replacement or a name of someone willing to replace in .
12) Deadlines for each game day will be 3 weeks. After Day 2, this will shift to 2 weeks.
13) Nights will have a 72 hour deadline. If you fail to send in a night choice, I will automatically default to 'no choice' for that night, and you will do nothing. This will shift to 48 hours after Night 2.
14) Deadlines will only be extended in the case of a replacement (which better not happen) or barring some other freak circumstances. Apart from that, laziness, or anything else, should not result in a deadline extension.
14a) I do hold the right to make deadlines shorter due to lack of activity.
Other Information
15)
Red
and
Dark Green
are my colors. All other colors are fair game as long as they are easily read by your other players/myself. I won’t modkill you if you happen to use them, but please try not to.
16)
I will try to post Vote Counts whenever I deem them necessary. If you feel a vote count is needed, don’t hesitate to ask for one, and I’ll provide one at the next opportunity. I may decide to edit it in at the top of each page or every other page.
I have decided to edit votecounts in at the top of every page.
17) It's more than possible I've missed a rule or haven't completely covered something. Don't be a prick and try to exploit it, or I will punish you. If something is fuzzy for you, please ask!
18) I reserve the right to add more, or modify existing rules at any time. If this happens, I will let everyone know.
19) Flavor in night/day write up's is just that. If I use a player’s name in flavor, it doesn’t really mean anything. Don’t play the game based on that.
20) I reserve the right to modkill anyone for anything I deem a modkillable offense. Don’t test me.
21) Have fun!
Game Specific Rules
22) This game contains a closed setup.
23) This game will begin with a day start.
Sample Vanilla Townie Role PM (at least one person shall receive):

There is no hidden mechanic.
I asked for top 3 roles just as a new way of confirming and out of pure curiosity to myself (For the record, people do actually like Vanilla -__-).
This is not bastard (therefore I am not lying to you).
The roles were completely randomized. I just assigned the predetermined roles to random number slots on the /in sheet.
And to further confirm that, some people didn't even send in their 3 favorite roles and I didn't force them to.

Game starts now. It is Day 1. I am going V/LA for 3 days, hopefully my mod hydra will pick up the slack. Visiting Duke!
I'm posting as me for right now, because I need to find the password to the hydra, but rest assured that the game isn't being dumped. Quite honestly, I assumed CMAR was going to handle the game and I'd step in if I were notified, but apparently I assumed wrong. Sorry for any problems this mix-up has caused.
I think you both thought that and that was why CMAR went AWOL.
Got the password. If you look in the OP, it even says that I (sorasgoof) am the backup mod. Had he simply told me this before OR if someone had contacted me, this never would have happened.
Okay, this is ridiculous. Nobody I've PMed has been able to replace in, and apparently my posts in the Large Normal Queue and the Replacements thread have garnered absolutely no support. If I'm not able to find four replacements AND keep the players that stayed from before by the first of September, I'm afraid the game will be in very dire straits.
I'm going to make the deadline two weeks from today, and if it seems like we need more time at the deadline, perhaps another week. Day 1, with the mod mix-up (which, I still attest, was completely not my fault. >_>) and the numerous replacements, has gone on far too long.
Just got home from a cross country party, and there's a meet tomorrow. I have to go to bed right now (It's almost 11, and I need to wake up at 5). I just thought I'd tell you guys I haven't forgotten. I will update the thread tomorrow, and really start to crack down on replacements and prods.
Just a quick heads up that Night 1 ends tonight, but I won't be reopening the thread until tomorrow afternoon. So, technically, I guess Night 1 ends tomorrow afternoon.
I'm still looking for our replacements, by the way. If you guys know of anyone willing to replace in, please send them my way.
@Oversoul: The next replacement will be for Lewarcher, seeing as how he/she has been absent since the beginning of the game. However, I can't FIND another replacement. I've posted on two other websites and several times in the Replacement Thread, but no luck. Does anyone know of anybody that can replace in?
I will not be able to open the thread tonight, unfortunately (going out now). It'll reopen tomorrow. All night actions are still due by 11:59 ET tonight.
was paradoxed to death during Night 2. It is now Day 3. The deadline for Day 3 is October 7th, 2011 at 11:59 ET.
If I screwed something up, please tell me. I don't know why I'm so busy lately. I'm finalizing everything to reopen the thread in a period of like 10 minutes before I have to leave again.
...in combination with the unreliability of the GM's deadlines, is crushing this game. This is one of the slowest and most boring games I've seen on this site
I've only ever changed the night deadline by less than 24 hours due to personal complications. Day 1 was a mess due to things outside of my control. Not really sure where you're getting my "unreliable deadlines" from. We can discuss this more after the game, but my act of changing night deadlines by less than a full day have nothing to do with the slow and boring nature of the game. It's the extreme inactivity of the players in the game.
@GM: Have Foolish Fool and Vifam responded to their prods? Do we have a replacement for LLD yet?
I don't know if it would be appropriate for dead players to replace in in this case, considering there is a dead thread. I never post roles in the dead thread, but still.
(Foolish Fool and Projectmatt both seemed to express interest in staying last I checked, even though they posted a little over three days ago.)
I prodded them after 48 hours of no posting, and it's been 48 hours since the prod. Yes, it's true (check the rules). There's no reason you can't post once every two days, and if there is, tell me about it.
