12) Bolding Stuff:
Bolding
something is how you get the mod to notice it. It's that simple.
13) Mod Color:
If the mod needs to edit your post, it will be done in
. Don't impersonate me, or I'll cut off your thumbs and feed them to you. Just kidding. Maybe.
14) Activity, Prods, and Replacements:
You will be prodded if two days have passed since your last post. If I check in and you had, say, 50 hours of inactivity but you've since posted, you will not be issued a prod... but I check in pretty frequently. If you are prodded three times or do not respond to a prod within 24 hours (meaning posting in thread), you will be replaced (and probably blacklisted).
14b) Vacation / Limited Access:
Real life comes up and mafia games take a long time. If you're going to be inactive for an extended amount of time, feel free to post a
V/LA
in thread. However, in order for the V/LA to be recognized, please be sure to set your inactivity in your UCP (User Control Panel -> Vacation / Limited Access tab) as prods/activity checks are done from the Activity Overview.
15) Hydra/alt requirements:
Usually, hydras and alts are banned from my games. Luckily, they're not allowed in newbie games either!
16) "Bah!" Posts:
If your player slot is killed off, it's probably because people don't want you around.
Unless your role specifically states you can keep talking/voting/playing Monopoly with me, you are allowed one informationless "bah!" post and then scram til endgame. Special mechanics can of course overlap.
17) Outside Discussion:
Don't discuss this game outside of this thread with anyone.
18) Post Editing:
Editing or deleting posts is not allowed (and usually not possible). Doublepost with your changes instead. I will modkill for a single abuse of this rule.
19a) Mod and PM quoting:
For role PMs, they are all listed in the next post. If you quote a PM from me, you will be modkilled. I would advise avoiding discussion related to role PMs as that's a quick way for a flurry of modkills to hit the game.
19b) PTs and Private Communication:
If it is a moderator provided method of communication (i.e., mafia PT) do not quote it in the thread. Obviously, do not provide links to the PT in any way shape or form.
20) Modkills:
Breaking any of the above rules (or flagrantly violating Rule 16) will result in you getting modkilled. Modkills can be retroactive. If a living player breaks any of these rules, the day may or may not end, depending on what would disadvantage that player's faction the most. In addition, getting modkilled results in an instant loss for that player, along with my general hatred. In short, follow the rules, don't be a dick!
21) Small/Invisible text:
Don't use hidden messages or anything like that. Don't use cryptology (breadcrumbs are fine).
22) Win Mentality:
Play to win.
23) Policy:
Have fun. Or else. And remember, it's a game - keep it classy and don't take things personally; everyone's doing what they have to to win.
