Viper0933's Rules ('taken' from PJ, but modified at places.

Please read the rules carefully, as there may be alterations from the standard sets of rules. Most of these rules have been stolen and edited from so many places that it would take too long to reference all of the sources.

Rules On what is Allowable:

[01] This is only a game, and I expect all witches/wizards to remain somewhat civil (although I understand you are essentially a crazy, lynching mob). I will not accept excessive abuse upon freedom of speech: obscenity, profanity, libel, and fighting words will not be tolerated, and if you push it, the Greatest Wizard of all time (wink) reserves the right to have you replaced. In other words, be respectful to all players, as well as myself.
[02] Do not talk outside of this thread, unless your role PM explicitly says you may do so, and even then, you are restricted to night-time for all out-of-thread conversation.
[03] Do not edit or delete your posts in any way, shape, or form. Once you have posted something, it is there for good, unless I find reason to alter or delete your post myself.
[04] Do not quote your role PMs in any way, shape, or form. This also applies to night conversations. You may, however, paraphrase your PM at any time, but if you go too far, the greatest wizard of all time reserves the right to either replace you or to modkill you should the situation warrant.
[05] Do not post in invisible text, excessively small text, or use [ color = black ] tags.
[06] You may request mod-prods, replacements, clarifications, and votecounts from me directly in the thread, but please precede such with a bolded Mod: So-and-so so that I will be able to answer you as promptly as possible.
[07] Once I have officially posted that you are dead, then you are dead. Do not post any relevant information to the game whatsoever. You are, however, allowed a typical “Bah!” post of some sort.
[08] You may talk during twilight about anything you wish.
[09] Do not question my decisions in-thread: if you have a problem with me, take it to Private Messages. You may, of course, post problems you see with my votecounts, but that’s about as far as I’ll allow things.
[10] You are allowed to have fun, and in fact, I heartily encourage it! This is a game! Play hard, play fair, and enjoy yourself.

Technical Rules
[01] Each day the town must decide on a lynch. Once a majority has been reached on a player, that player will be lynched, regardless of any subsequent unvoting.
[02] To vote for somebody, please use bold tags. For example,
Vote: Viper0933
.
[03] If you wish to unvote, I would appreciate a formal bold
Unvote: PJ
.
[04] If the game lags, I will place a deadline, which may or may not be retractable. I will not allow any one day to go longer than one month however, and that will be the ultimate deadline, regardless of circumstances.
[05] When a deadline has been placed, I will require only a majority of what would normally be a majority for a lynch (i.e. 12 players needs 7 to lynch, so I would require 4 to lynch in such a scenario). If this number is not reached, day will end in no-lynch, and the game will progress directly into night.
[06] If two or more players are tied for the most votes when a deadline hits, and they have garnered the required amount of votes to be lynched under a deadline, the player who reached that number of votes first shall be lynched.
[07] You may vote no-lynch if you wish. A majority voting for no-lynch will end the day, and the game will progress directly into night. To do this, simply
Vote: No-Lynch.

[08] Nights will last a maximum of 5 real-time days. If you have not sent me a night-choice by that time (should you have one), for the first night of the game, I will randomize your choice. For all nights afterwards, I will consider you as choosing that you do not wish to use your action.
[09] If you feel that you may not be able to post in-thread for a period of 48 hours or longer, please say so in-thread and send me a PM as warning. If I find it necessary, I will have you replaced, but I would much rather keep all players who sign up for any of my games.
[10] Any and all of these rules are subject to change at my discretion.

Viper0933, HEADMASTER, has been killed evening 0*


It is now night 0. If you recieve a PM, you have a choice this night.

* = this will be the only evening

There have been 8 posts and the game has been going for two days, I do not quite see your reasoning.

With that, I'll add a second vote to

Bandwagon! But seriously, that's terrible reasoning. You'd have been better off had you just picked randomly.

I disagree; I see nothing wrong with a "random" vote early on for some silly reason that isn't actually random. For example, my vote on Y.

That was my point. But I don't think it was a silly reason. I think it was simply a bad reason, as if he felt he had to give more than just a random vote, which feels like a scumtell (though admittedly a weak one).

Man, harsh group. I need to get a PR agent to keep from inadvertantly revealing my scummine-- oops, I mean, NOT scumminess.

Seriously, people. "Because I want to get people to talk" is a scum tell?

Also, what good are completely random votes? Anyone? For instance, if the idea is to "scare" people into saying something stupid, why announce that your vote is random? I'm seen several threads and they all start out the same way: people throw random accusations... then admit they're random... and then latch onto something weak and lynch incorrectly.

I think that "random" votes (although, admittedly, mine was random within the set of people who hadn't posted) make it all the easier for scum to start bandwagons while seeming to blend in.

Random votes are just the easiest way to start conversation. Most people don't choose really randomly.

Your "Random" vote wasn't random. It had a purpose. Purpose while random voting=Reason=Conversation.

Since you were "Random Voting" in a way that helps the town, it makes you seem like scum.

According to what just happened, yes. When you try to be helpful in a situation when you don't need to be helpful, you're suspected as scum trying to exagerate helpfulness in order to lose suspicion. It's a weak scumtell. IMO it's incredibly weak to the point that I have no idea why your bandwagon built up so quickly. Even for a weak scumtell, it shouldn't be strong enough to warrant three votes on the same page.

unvote

vote sarcastro
for rushing a bandwagon with his two mere posts.
