We're all here to have fun. Tempers may flare, but avoid personal attacks and keep it civil.
Do not impersonate or pretend to be the moderator.

is reserved exclusively for my use.
Do not edit or delete your posts in this thread. If there is a problem with a post, such as incorrect formatting, ask me to fix it for you.
Do not quote communications outside the game thread, including role PMs, quicktopics, etc., in the game thread. This specifically includes PM timestamps. Paraphrasing is allowed. If in doubt, ask.
Unless I have specifically told you it is allowed, do not talk about this game outside of this game thread until it is completed.
Do not use cryptography, invisible text, tiny text, or the like.
Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming you rolled dice and acting on that is fine. Using dice tags is not.
Do not bring outside factors into this game. This includes, among other things, making bets, promises of real life rewards, etc.
Claiming scum by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with others is not, regardless of the truth of this claim.
Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as breaking the rule.
Breaking one of these rules may, at my discretion, result in a modkill. If you are modkilled, you will become a Neutral Survivor, and thus automatically lose. Modkilling may or may not end the game day.
No set of rules can be all-encompassing. I reserve the right to take any action at any time, for any reason. However, I try to be extremely reasonable. If you have any questions about the game, rules, or players, please ask me via PM.
Activity Rules
If a player goes 48 real life hours without posting, they may be prodded at my discretion, or upon being asked by another player. Prods will be announced in thread.
If a player does not respond to their prod within 24 real life hours, would be prodded thrice in the same game-day, or four times in total within the game, they may be force-replaced at my discretion.
If you will be V/LA, please alert me in the thread or via PM (or both!).
Each game day will have a deadline of fourteen real life days (two weeks), except for Day 1, which will have a deadline of twenty-one real life days (three weeks).
In the event deadline is reached before the gunbearer has shot, the gunbearer will shoot himself, the game will go into Twilight, and the Mafia will have 48 hours to pick a new gunbearer.
I may extend deadlines in the event replacements must be found, at my discretion. This will be announced in thread.
Voting Rules
There is no lynch in this setup. However, I, the mod, will keep an unofficial votecount, provided players follow these voting rules.
Votes must be at the beginning of a new line, using vote tags or
bold
(VOTE: Player name/
VOTE: Player name
). Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it counts as a vote.
It is not necessary to explicitly unvote (UNVOTE: Player name/
UNVOTE: Player name
) before voting someone else, though there is no harm in doing so.
The day will end when the gunbearer shoots or deadline is reached. The gunbearer may shoot by simply posting
Shoot: Player name
.
All living players, including the killed player, may continue to post until I lock the thread.
If you are dead, that is it. Do not post.
Setup Rules
This game uses the Popcorn Mafia open setup. That means that the following roles exist:
Copies of the Role PMs can be found below for your convenience.
Before the game starts, mafia must elect a townie to be the gunbearer. That player has until deadline runs out to shoot another player. If the gunbearer hits scum, they keep the gun. If the gunbearer hits town, the gunbearer dies and the targeted townie becomes the new gunbearer.
If the gunbearer does not shoot by deadline, they die and the mafia pick a new gunbearer.
The gunbearer is always announced and confirmed as innocent.
This game is nightless.

Sample Role PMs
Mafia Goon Role PM wrote:Welcome to Open 500,
[Player name]

You are a
Mafia Goon
. Your partners are
[Player name]
,
[Player name]
, and
[Player name]
, who are all
Mafia Goons
as well.
During the night phase, you may communicate using this quicktopic. Your faction must pick a new Gunbearer at the beginning of the game AND when a Gunbearer has not used their shot before deadline hits and therefore dies.
You win when your faction gains half or more of the town's population.
Hi everyone! I am TheIrishPope! You may call me Irish, Pope, TIP, or any new nickname (no Irish jokes please)
Never played in this setup but I reckon it to be really Town-sided so let's win this nice and easy.
Fegelein is our first scum! Oil, shoot him now

I laugh at these Gambler fallacies. All slots are independent of past games. Hey, Oil, shoot Jacob for me.
