I reserve the right to change any of the following rules at any time. I will also inform the players in thread and via PM in the unlikely scenario in which this is required.
This list is not necessarily all-inclusive. If you're unsure whether or not something is allowed, please PM me about it.
Disregarding the rules may result in consequences up to and including modkill and/or force-replacement.
If you need to talk to me in thread,
please use bold.
Additionally, feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.
DO NOT TALK ABOUT OTHER ONGOING GAMES IN THIS GAME.
I've been seeing this happen in a lot of games recently. Don't do it -- it can ruin not only this game for others, but also other games. I won't be lenient about this rule in particular.
Please do not use hidden or encrypted text.
Play to win.
Please treat your fellow players with respect. At the same time, please try not to take comments personally whenever possible.
Please allow for your fellow players to go V/LA.
Please keep me in the loop about your own V/LA status.
Purple is my color. Please do not use purple.
Kdub is my backup mod.
If I go AWOL (I won't) or specifically mention that I am temporarily turning the game over to him, please contact him for game related issues. Otherwise you can simply contact me.
Have Fun!
Gameplay
The following vote formats are the de-facto standard on the site (aka votes should be enclosed with vote tags or bold tags. I don't care about caps/spelling/etc.)
VOTE: borkjerfkin
Vote: borkjerfkin
Unvotes are
not
required.
If it appears to be a vote for a player, I will treat it as a vote for a player. Please don't attempt to fool me or other players with regard to fake votes. Do not put votes in spoiler tags.
A lynch is achieved when half plus one of the current number of living players are voting for the same player. If this does not occur by deadline, a No Lynch will occur -- there is no plurality lynch in this game.
Twilight is the time between the 'hammer' vote being cast and the beginning of the night phase. All living players, including the most recent lynchee, may talk during this time.
Players' alignments will be revealed on death.
When killed, a player may make one informationless 'bah' post at the beginning of the next day phase and must be silent thereon until the conclusion of the game.
Please submit all night actions either via <b> tags in your quicktopic if you have one, or by PM if you do not.
If you have a night action and do not submit one, you will not take an action. I will not resolve your action on a random person.
Player List is ordered alphabetically by the initial players' names.
Role distribution is guaranteed to be random, determined with the aid of random.org
Deadlines
Days will be exactly two weeks long. Extensions may be granted at my discretion for what I feel are extenuating circumstances.
Nights will be exactly two days (48 hours) long.
Players will be prodded after 48 hours of inactivity during the day, excepting V/LA circumstances.
Failure to pick up a prod in 24 hours will result in replacement. Asking for replacement will result in replacement.

Setup
This setup is based upon the game Xenogears. This link may be useful to you to determine context throughout the game. It also might not; this game came out in the late 90's and info on the web is spottier than for my last game.

This game is
NOT bastard
-- I will not attempt to trick you for my own amusement
Flavor knowledge is NOT required to enjoy this game, but may increase your enjoyment of it. This WILL include story elements that may spoil the plot of the game.
Flips will will be of the form [Character, Alignment, Role name]. You may get additional information for flips.
I am endeavoring to make this game lighter in flavor than Xenoblade.
As with my last game, scene/kill flavor is
NOT RELEVANT TO THE GAME.
Every kill, lynch or otherwise, will be the scene of at least one character death (or a more mundane scene, if a day/night transition occurs with no deaths.) The only characters mentioned in the scene will be either the character being killed, previously killed characters, or irrelevant/minor/original characters.
This game contains two factions, the
Nisan Alliance (Town)
, and the
Solaris Empire (Mafia).
Here is a sample PM.
Lucca Ashtear, Vanilla Townie of the Nisan Alliance
She got to cameo in Xenogears, she can cameo in my game goddammit.
Please confirm by replying to this PM with your alignment, and that you understand your role.

~Lahan Village~
Chief Lee read the letter to himself, one last time.
Mr Lee:
This is our final warning. Your refusal to acknowledge the imminent threat puts the entire village for which you are responsible in jeopardy. We will be marching on Aveh in one week’s time. As previously mentioned, our forces getting routed there could lead to a direct conflict in the general area of Lahan. Please take all precautions necessary to avoid being present when that happens. You are welcome to emigrate to the capital, and we give you our utmost assurance that Nisan proper is well defended against anything Solaris could hope to throw at us. I cannot give the same assurance to you if you remain here. Please do the right thing.
Regretfully,
Donald White
-This missive contains an official statement made on behalf of the Nisan Alliance-
He’d never intended to stay if the fighting made its way here, of course. Lee turned to his three aides, who had been waiting patiently for the order they knew he’d be forced to give.
“Order the population to take only what they need. I want us out of here and on the road to Nisan in two days time - that should give us plenty of buffer to be well north into Alliance territory if things take a turn down in Aveh.”
The aides looked visibly relieved. “Right away," said one, and all three left the room.
As the crowd noise outside gradually increased in volume, Lee’s expression darkened.
I’m sorry,
he thought.
Looks like I couldn’t give you the peaceful life you deserve after all.
Day 1 begins.
