Voting, Lynching, Death
1. To vote for somebody, type this:
VOTE: ooba
or
Vote: ooba
It must be in bold. The colon is optional. Abbreviations for player names are fine as long as it's obvious to whom you're referring. 2. To remove your vote, type
UNVOTE:
in bold. You don't have to unvote before revoting, but I would prefer it.
5. A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life.
6. The time between the final vote that causes a lynch and my updating of the thread is known as "twilight." Anybody may still talk in-thread during twilight, but no vote-changing will be honored.
7. Once you are dead, do not post at all in the thread. Likewise, do not communicate with anybody still in the game once you're dead.
Deadlines and Activity
1. If a player does not post for 72 hours, they will be prodded by PM. If they do not respond to the prod within 48 hours, I will start looking for a replacement. If the player returns to the game before I can find a replacement, they can stay. If I have already found a replacement, then the replacement stays.
2. If you indicate V/LA (Vacation/Limited Access) in thread or by PM, you are immune to the above rule as long as you're on V/LA. Do not abuse this - lying about V/LA is not acceptable.
3. The first day will have a deadline of 2 WEEKS. All other days will have a deadline of 10 days.
4. If no majority of votes is reached at deadline, then nobody will be lynched.
5. Each night has a deadline of 72 HOURS. I will extend this as necessary if any replacements are needed. I will also update the thread earlier if I receive all night actions before time.
1. The setup consists of 13 actors
2. Each actor will have 2 roles from movies he has acted in. The game and the Role PMs will refer to them as "Past" and "Future" roles respectively. ("Past" and "Future" only denotes that the first movie came before the second for that particular actor.)
Note: Not every actor will fit the above description
3. Introducing the "Box Office (BO)" mechanic. Along with the lynch each day, all players vote on whether to change the current BO to "Past" or "Future" respectively. If there is no majority on the BO voting whenever lynch or no lynch occurs, then the BO remains what it was.
Note: The BO voting is not the only way in the game to change the BO mode.
4. In any toss-up between game balance and flavor, balance has always won. So if something seems a little different flavor-wise, take it with a pinch of salt. Also flavor may not be indicative of alignment (meaning thematically good roles may not be town roles).
5. The standard wincondition is
You win when all other factions have left the game in the particular BO mode, or nothing else prevents the same.
