1. In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase.
   
2. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
3. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
   
4. Please remember that you made a commitment to participate when you signed up to play. If you cannot fulfill this commitment, please contact the Mod and request a replacement instead of just disappearing!
   
5. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
   If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to the game Mod IMMEDIATELY.

1. You should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
   
2. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or after 2 real-life days of no activity.
   
3. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
   
4. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice (player-requested prods do not count towards this total).
   
5. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please PM the Mod so that you don’t get replaced!

1. All Newbie games have strict 2-week deadlines.
   
   
2. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
   
3. Nights will have a standard deadline of 72 hours.
   
4. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
   
5. Deadlines may be shortened if activity is too low, or if all Night choices have been received early.

1. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
   
2. Votes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g.
   Vote: Player
   ).
   
3. Vote revocations should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g.
   Unvote: Player
   or
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
   
4. You may
   Vote: No Lynch
   - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
5. Votes/Unvotes should be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
   
6. Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count. Attempting to fake a vote will result in a Modkill.
   
7. Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
   
8. When a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
   
9. If you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
   
10. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
    
11. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.

6. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
   
   
7. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity (up to and including a Modkill) as the Mod sees fit.

All Newbie games are using the Matrix 6 setup, where the List Moderator randomly assigns either one row or one column from the table below. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons. The Game Moderator will assign players to the roles.

Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

	A	B	C
1	Town Jailkeeper	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
2	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Cop	Town Doctor
3	Town 1-shot Bulletproof	Mafia Goon	Town Tracker

These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

VOTE: James May

Hammond and Clarkson called, they want you back.

VOTE: Miss Stranger

I was always told not to trust strangers.

VOTE: Gen_Wolf. Sounds like a criminal pseudonym to me.

VOTE: Generic

What a boring name.

Sounds like you asking me to touch your phallic!

Such a dirty young man. What's up?

VOTE: James May
Wagon time.

Provokative wagon, or a quick plan in the pregame scumchannel?

UNVOTE: Gen_Wolf.

I can't edit posts? Damn, didn't know that. -_-

VOTE: Antagon

Changing your vote so much?

VOTE: Miss Stranger

In post 11, Miss Stranger wrote:Provokative wagon, or a quick plan in the pregame scumchannel?

UNVOTE: Gen_Wolf.

Early wagons are the best way to end RVS. Looking at people's reactions to the wagon will lead to actual content being posted instead of random votes.
The longer RVS goes on, the more likely it is for the mafia to justify their actions as RVS.

I found Antagon suspicious because he prompted a wagon on a person who hasn't yet showed up. Hence, I voted Antagon. I think that is more suspicious than Gen_Wolf's nickname.

Oh, look, someone ninja'd me. -_-

Editing posts, something to hide in RVS stage already??

She's fine at L-2.

Antagon is probably Town.

In post 17, Fegelein wrote:She's fine at L-2.

Agreed, Miss Strangers' wish to edit posts, changing votes on a joke bw could be newness or perhaps an early scumtell?

It shows a concern about appearances, which I've personally done in my first Newbie game as Town, but the editing post remark really took it to a new level.

Why bother with day 1. Lets just lynch Miss Stranger now and go from there? We are already onto our first scum.

In post 20, Gen_Wolf wrote:Why bother with day 1. Lets just lynch Miss Stranger now and go from there? We are already onto our first scum.

Yeah...um...no.

I don't see how changing votes in RVS is scummy in any way. Ignoring my obvious joke vote on Gen_Wolf, I simply voted Antagon for starting a wagon on someone who's afk. I don't see how a wagon on an afk person would make them less afk. Game's just started. Sheesh.

And yes, I simply forgot to add my VOTE: tag in my previous post. I thought I could edit instead of doublepost, but apparently I can't. Apologies, rookie mistake. But tell me, Gen_Wolf, what could I possibly hide in my single, straightforward sentence that I would want to edit away? Just asking for your opinion as to why you think is scummy.

Feel It, same question to you. What's exactly wrong with changing an obvious joke vote, during RVS at that, that would make YOU switch vote?

Allowing wagons to form in RVS is a good method to get the game running. We can gauge reactions from James May.

Oh well. I'm less afk than James and I have a wagon. I hope that allows valuable information to be drawn.
