  Rules
  
  
  
  Ethics and Etiquette
  
  
  i) All the global rules and guidelines hold in this game, and are not duplicated below.
  ii) Never link to or quote from any Private Topic provided by the mod. Loose paraphrasing should be fine.
  iii) Excessive coarse language should not be directed at other players. Frustration is natural, but keep it in check.
  iv) Don't impersonate the mod. They won't edit other people's posts except to fix tags; they won't leave other comments.
  v) Cryptography and steganography are forbidden, as are any forms of provable randomness (e.g. dice tags, random.org screenshots).
  vi) If you have outside information which alters your knowledge of the game or suspect the game has been compromised, contact the mod immediately.
  vii) Don't exploit technicalities or ambiguities in any of the rules to do something you should know is forbidden or unethical.
  
  
  Matters of Life and Death
  
  
  viii) A vote or unvote is valid so long as it contains the word 'vote' or 'unvote' directly followed by a player's name or 'no lynch', all in instantly readable unquoted bold text.
  ix) Abbreviations or misspellings of a player's name or 'no lynch' are valid whilst voting, so long as they are unambiguous.
  x) Votes and unvotes are invalid if they come from any account not listed as alive and presently in the game.
  xi) A lynch occurs when a player receives greater than 50% of all votes.
  xii) A no lynch occurs when greater than or equal to 50% of all votes are placed in favour.
  xiii) Players may continue talking after a lynch or no lynch has occurred until the mod announces it.
  xiv) Once the mod has announced their death, a player may not post further. This includes 'bah' posts.
  
  
  Actions, Activity, and Deadlines
  
  
  xv) The lengths of Day and Night phases are up to the mod but will generally be between 5 and 14 days and 48 and 72 hours respectively.
  xvi) If the Day deadline expires without a majority of votes on a player, nobody dies and the game moves into Night.
  xvii) If Day or Night actions are not submitted via PM or in bold in a mod-provided PT before deadline, they do not resolve.
  xviii) Players who do not wish to perform an available Day or Night action should submit 'no action' or risk being replaced.
  xix) Deadlines are extended only in exceptional circumstances or if a player needs replacement. No phase ends until all slots are occupied.
  xx) Players who do not post for 48 hours will be prodded. Not responding to a prod within 48 hours or receiving 4 prods will see that player replaced.
  xxi) If a player expects to be unable to post for upwards of 48 hours, they should declare V/LA legibly, in bold, in-thread, to avoid being prodded.
  
  
  Miscellaneous
  
  
  xxii) When in doubt, ask the mod.
  xxiii) Flavour will never have any significance, hidden or otherwise, to the game.
  xxiv) Punishment for breaking the rules is determined on a case-by-case basis, and may range from a warning to a modkill or replacement.
  xxv) The mod reserves the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary, but will not change relevant rules during or after the fact.

  Setup
  
  
  This game is a Smalltown. From the wiki:
  

  A Smalltown setup is a setup where almost not only are all the roles in the game public knowledge (as with an Open Setup), but also who has what role. That is, if one of the roles is a Tracker, everyone in the game not only knows that there's a Tracker, but they also know which player it is.
  
  Alignment is still hidden, and is very commonly distributed randomly. Instead of being tied to specific roles in the design, random roles will be picked to be in the Mafia or to be the Serial Killer, and will then gain factional kills or abilities in addition to their normal ones.
  
  ... Because the entire setup is open, some moderators perform a draft where players are allowed to pick their role, very similar to a Pick Your Power game.

  
  After a draft is conducted, players will be randomly assigned an alignment. Nine players will be aligned with the
  Town
  , three will be aligned with the
  Mafia
  , and one will be self-aligned—a
  Serial Killer
  . Players will receive the appropriate PMs:

  Welcome to

  Mini 16XX: Quil's Smalltown

  , [playername]!
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  You are a

  Town

  member.
  
  Therefore, you win the game if:
  

  • ### all Mafia- and self-aligned players are dead and at least one
    Town-aligned
    player is alive.

  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  You are the

  Encryptor

  .
  
  This means that along with your voice and your vote, you also possess the following special ability:

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  You do not need to confirm.
  
  The game thread is here. Good luck, play fair, and have fun!
  

  
  After the selection process concludes, we will move immediately into Day 1.
  
  A few things to note:
  
  • Roles resolve in the order that they are listed above, for the purposes of Night actions.
    
  • All kills resolve just after the Invictus, regardless of where the killers' roles are listed.
    
  • If you are targeted by (and resolve after) the Gentleman Thief, any actions you attempted to perform fail. Your role was stolen before you could perform them.
    
  • If a player is targeted by a kill while under Bulletproof Vest and Bodyguard protection, the Bodyguard takes the hit, not the Vest.
    
  • If a Bodyguard under Bulletproof Vest protection protects a player targeted by a kill, the Bodyguard's Vest takes the hit.
    
  • The Bodyguard and Bulletproof can protect against Invictus kills as well as factional kills from the Mafia and Serial Killer.
    
  • In the event that more than one person are the first to die, the Universal Backup may choose which of the persons' roles they wish to inherit.
    
  • If the Serial Killer is under the protection of both his own factional and the role-related Bulletproof Vests and is shot, the role-related Vest takes the hit.
    
  • The passing on of the Vest resolves directly after the Roleblocker, regardless of where the role of the person who currently has it is listed.
  
  These are the PMs sent when dealing with the operation of the Bulletproof and Gentleman Thief roles:
  
  
  Spoiler: PMs

  You have received a

  vest

  !
  
  This means that you now also possess the following special ability:

    : You possess a Bulletproof Vest which will protect its owner from a single successful kill attempt.
    You may give the Vest to another player, and they may in turn pass it on, provided its protection has not been used up.
    The owner of the Vest will be notified when its protection is used up. It is not revealed whether a dead player was passed the Vest.
    If the owner of the Vest is roleblocked, any attempt to pass it on will fail but the owner will still be under its protection.

  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  
  
  

  You have passed on the

  vest

  .
  
  This means that you no longer have your

  1-Shot Bulletproof Vest

  ability.
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  
  
  

  Your role has been

  stolen

  by the Gentleman Thief! Oh dear.
  
  You will receive a new Role PM shortly.

  Draft progress
  
  
  
  11/13 players have submitted their draft numbers.
  
  However, all 13 players have picked up the draft PMs I sent you. Therefore, in (expired on 2015-02-09 07:33:52) I'll prod the players who have not submitted; after a further 36 hours from then I'll start looking for replacements. UPDATE: Alrighty, prods sent out. (expired on 2015-02-10 20:16:57) and counting.
  
  
  
  UPDATE 2: Okay. Everyone's sent in their draft numbers, but there has been at least one instance of two or more people sending in the same pair of numbers. So I'm just holding a quick tiebreaker game so we can sort the orders out. There's (expired on 2015-02-11 21:53:08) before the tiebreaker ends. If people in the tiebreaker don't meet the deadline I'll just order those people alphabetically.
  
  
  Okay, tiebreaker's done. Draft order is finalised.
  
  Thanks for your patience!

  (2, 2)
  
  
  I'm sending out alignments now. Before you enter the thread to choose your role, make sure you
  confirm as directed
  in the PM.
  
  You do not need to wait for me to direct you. That is, Marquis can pick as soon as he is ready, Aronis can pick straight after him without waiting for me to confirm or anything, and so on. You can change your selection until the person after you selects; after that, you're locked in. I might shoot out PMs letting you know it's your turn to pick, but like I said, you don't need to receive one before you go ahead and choose.
  
  Go go go!

[Antihero]

nailed it

[Marquis]

interesting how the draft order followed the original signup list so closely

i know i have to pick just give me like 2 minutes i was expecting middle of the pack

[Marquis]

i think i want anti/dv taking bp preferably anti

[Marquis]

god.

as much as i want the vanillaiser cconsidering my penchant for getting lynched

encryptor

get fucked

[Marquis]

theoretically the best course of action is to make selection phase similar to an early day 1 and determine the towniest "good/threatening" player and give them encryptor so scum has to make the decision to kill a town pr or kill a threatening player but 1) i will only trust myself for a long while this game 2) it is absolutely critical that scum don't get encryptor in this setup and 3) i don't have to worry about my pr fucking things up/being tempted not to follow plans
