Rules

Rules shamelessly stolen from various moderators.
Spoiler: General Rules
1. All site rules apply here.
2. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (real or otherwise) of any kind
3. 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, report it to me IMMEDIATELY

4. This game will start with a Day phase
5. No ciphers, encryption, extremely small text, or other similar tactics.
6. If you have the ability to edit, refrain from doing so.
7. It's your responsibility to read and understand all of the rules.

Spoiler: Activity
1. Aim for one post every 48 hours at a minimum.
2. After 48 hours of no activity, I will prod the inactive player
3. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond to my prod with a
substantive post in game
, after which time a replacement search will begin. I abhore prodging.
4. A player who has been prodded 3 times will be subject to replacement with no further notice
5. If you plan on being inactive for more than 48 hours, PM the Mod to notify you plan on being V/LA.
6. If you plan to have regularly scheduled V/LA period (e.g. the weekend) please PM the mod to notify

Spoiler: Deadlines
1. Days will last 14 days
2. Nights will last 48 hours
3. Extensions may be given out in extreme circumstances, and is up to the discretion of the Mod
4. If you have a role with a Night action, your action is due to the Mod by the posted deadline. If no action is received by the posted deadline, you may forfeit your action(s). Players with a Night action may submit a "No Action" PM to indicate to the Mod you do not wish to perform your action.

Spoiler: Player Rules/Voting
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). I much prefer Vote Tags. Please use them.
3. Unvotes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. Unvote: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are helpful, but not required. I will love you if you use them.
4. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority (as described above) of No Lynch votes will result in a No Lynch and a move to the Night phase.
5. Votes/Unvotes should be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see. Do this.
6. Votes in quotes, spoiler tags or otherwise hidden will also not be counted.
7. Votes that misspell or have other minor errors will be counted as normal as long as I understand what you are getting at.
8. Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate. Tough.
9. When a player is lynched the game enters twilight until the Mod posts a death scene; all players may continue to post.
10. If you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for
one
brief “Bah!”-type post that contains that must contain a cute image of a Penguin.

Spoiler: Misc Rules
1.
This
is my color. I don't like to share, so don't use it.
2. I'm perfect, but there may be an appearance of a mistake on occasion. This is intentional. Please PM me privately to address. I will correct any of these intentional mistakes where possible, but there may be situations that I cannot. Sorry. Be at peace knowing those were intentional as well.
3.
Bold all requests to the Mod so that I don't intentionally miss them.

4. Rule violations will be dealt with based upon severity - up to a Modkill - at the sole discretion of the Mod
5. Any situation not specifically covered in the above Rules is subject to Mod discretion and will be handled as the Mod sees fit to address. Live with it.

The ruleset looks good and role PMs look good.

The cop results should not have flavour in them (flavour in normals should always be public, not in private PMs) and shouldn't specify Mafia (unless you make it public information that there is no third party).

I'll think about balance a bit more but it looks okay? What's stronger than a second town-aligned kill, Cephrir?
Scumchat is awesome. Yarr!

Well, full vigs are risky. They're as often a detriment as not, in practice. Doctors really don't do much with a mafia roleblocker in play, either.

If the cop's forced to claim within the first two days the town has very little chance of winning.

I was going to suggest making it a 2-shot or macho cop, even.

I don't think macho would be a terribly necessary thing. That's what the roleblocker is for

=====================================
Rules Post:
Rules

Rules shamelessly stolen from various moderators.
Spoiler: General Rules
1. All site rules apply here.
2. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (real or otherwise) of any kind
3. 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, report it to me IMMEDIATELY

4. This game will start with a Day phase
5. No ciphers, encryption, extremely small text, or other similar tactics.
6. If you have the ability to edit, refrain from doing so.
7. It's your responsibility to read and understand all of the rules.

Spoiler: Activity
1. Aim for one post every 48 hours at a minimum.
2. After 48 hours of no activity, I will prod the inactive player
3. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond to my prod with a
substantive post in game
, after which time a replacement search will begin. I abhore prodging.
4. A player who has been prodded 3 times will be subject to replacement with no further notice
5. If you plan on being inactive for more than 48 hours, PM the Mod to notify you plan on being V/LA.
6. If you plan to have regularly scheduled V/LA period (e.g. the weekend) please PM the mod to notify

Spoiler: Deadlines
1. Days will last 14 days
2. Nights will last 48 hours
3. Extensions may be given out in extreme circumstances, and is up to the discretion of the Mod
4. If you have a role with a Night action, your action is due to the Mod by the posted deadline. If no action is received by the posted deadline, you may forfeit your action(s). Players with a Night action may submit a "No Action" PM to indicate to the Mod you do not wish to perform your action.

Spoiler: Player Rules/Voting
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). I much prefer Vote Tags. Please use them.
3. Unvotes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. Unvote: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are helpful, but not required. I will love you if you use them.
4. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority (as described above) of No Lynch votes will result in a No Lynch and a move to the Night phase.
5. Votes/Unvotes should be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see. Do this.
6. Votes in quotes, spoiler tags or otherwise hidden will also not be counted.
7. Votes that misspell or have other minor errors will be counted as normal as long as I understand what you are getting at.
8. Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate. Tough.
9. When a player is lynched the game enters twilight until the Mod posts a death scene; all players may continue to post.
10. If you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for
one
brief “Bah!”-type post that contains that must contain a cute image of a Penguin.

Spoiler: Misc Rules
1.
This
is my color. I don't like to share, so don't use it.
2. I'm perfect, but there may be an appearance of a mistake on occasion. This is intentional. Please PM me privately to address. I will correct any of these intentional mistakes where possible, but there may be situations that I cannot. Sorry. Be at peace knowing those were intentional as well.
3.
Bold all requests to the Mod so that I don't intentionally miss them.

4. Rule violations will be dealt with based upon severity - up to a Modkill - at the sole discretion of the Mod
5. Any situation not specifically covered in the above Rules is subject to Mod discretion and will be handled as the Mod sees fit to address. Live with it.
