Rules:

General:


1. Be familiar with the sitewide rules and guidelines.
2. Play nice. No personal attacks will be tolerated.
3. Do not play this game using more than one account.
4. Do not discuss this game with anybody else outside this game thread, unless you're specifically allowed to in QuickTopics.
5. You can quote directly from your Role PM. But do not quote replies from the moderator or co-moderator.
6. Do not use small font size or invisible font to hide messages. Similarly, do not use any off-site programs to code messages. Also Robust cryptography and steganography are not allowed in games.
7. Winning isn't everything, but you need to play to win.
8. If you have any questions, PM it to me. If I have made a mistake in a vote count or something, you can point it out to me by PM or by a bolded
Mod:
in thread.

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.


Game Specific Info:

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.

Hello, IS, we meet again.

Here's hoping we'll have a nice, easy game where the Mafia out themselves and readily walk to the gallows for a good, ol' fashioned lynching.

Oh, we're apparently already in the past.

I thought I had read somewhere the game would start in the future.
Carry on, then.

So when do we vote for past or future? Is it along with the lynch vote?

“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends … I’m so glad you can attend step inside step inside ..”

Greetings to all those I know from prior games and Moderation …

Hello to the few of you (springlullaby Entanglement and JAMFTW, I think) I have never played with.

I announce that I will probably be sheeping Pops based on past experiences with her until she gives me reasons not to. Fair warning.

VOTE: Future

Living in the past is not a good thing people!!! Expand your horizons!!!

Sorry I'm late, I kind of lost the password to the hydra...and yes, we're a hydra, enjoy. The two of us have decided to have one main posting head for ease of reading, and as such I'll be using the pronoun I. We sounds kind of silly anyway.

So, Darox is scum. Fun fact! Mechanics hunting isn't actually scum hunting in any fashion :O!

Vote Darox

Vote Future

Are you... trying to pin me for not making a scum hunting post?
Really?
Get the fuck out of here.

We're staying in the past, by the way.

Are you...really trying to sidestep the issue and discredit us?
Really?
Get the fuck lynched.

Darox is making it manifestly obvious he needs to die. Anyone want to oblige me?

Give it up Entanglement, nobody is going to buy a horse so dead even the knackers don't want it. I'm going to live a long and noose-free life, brutally lynching townies before getting shot by scum on night three.

Major scumpoints for everyone trying to switch us to the future, by the way.
