Rules

Shamelessly stolen from Ofrhz, and their multitude of sources (mutantdevle, Viomi, Not_Mafia, Kmd4390, and Socrates)

Activity & Deadlines

- Each day will last 168 hours (2 weeks).
- Each night will last 48 hours (2 days).
- Deadline for each phase will be in the first post of this thread.
- Prods will be delivered after 48 hours of inactivity. Naked prodging works once per phase.
- You must react to my prods by posting in the thread within 24 hours, or I will start looking for a replacement.
- On your 3rd prod, I will start looking for your replacement regardless of whether or not you answer the prod.
- If you know that you are going to be away for more than 48 hours, please post in the game thread
in bold
the duration of your V/LA.
- Deadlines will be granted at mod discretion. All deadline extensions will be announced in the thread.

General Rules

- All site rules apply.
- Play to your win condition.
- Do not make personal attacks.
- Do not edit or delete posts. If necessary, ask me and I will consider edits for clarity (not content).
- Do not deadpost. Not even Bah. If lynched, you may post in twilight until I confirm your death.
- Do not quote any PMs that I send you, nor discuss their timing. Paraphrasing is ok. If in doubt, PM.
- Do not quote any PTs in this thread. Paraphrasing is ok. If in doubt, PM.
- Do not use any form of provable randomness. Claiming but not proving randomness is ok.
- Do not use encryption or other cryptography. Crumbing is fine. If in doubt, PM.
- Do not pretend to break the rules (e.g., quoting a PT/PM that does not actually exist, meaningless text scrambles)
- Do not use this color (8000BF) -- it is for me as a mod.
- Use of spoiler= rather than spoiler tags is encouraged for mobile players
-
Bottom line - the game should be fun. Play that prevents that primary objective is a violation of these rules, regardless of their wording.


Gameplay

- Votes are only counted if you use a vote tag or bold the vote, e.g. VOTE: teacher and
vote: teacher
.
- Shorthand is OK, as long as the vote could apply only to one living player.
- Unvotes are not necessary before changing your vote.
- You may vote for a no lynch.
- Majority lynch. Once a lynch has been achieved, the game will enter twilight, and votes and unvotes will no longer be counted.
- During twilight, player may continue post in the thread until it is locked, including the player who has just been lynched.
- If a majority is not reached before the day countdown runs out, the day will end in a no lynch.
- Failure to submit a night action before the night countdown runs out will result in no action.
- Scum players may submit factional abilities on their teammates' behalf.
- Do not deadpost. Not even Bah. Save it for the DeadPT.

Mod Activity

- If you need me, tag me - Bold text, @Teacher, @Mod. Depending on the question, I may not be able to answer.
- I am a teacher, with limited online access during the day. I am modding to pay the favor back for the great games I have enjoyed.
- I will respond to any question within 24 hours. I will post VCs at least every 24 hours.

Please exercise common sense, and PM if in doubt. The point of the site and this game is to have fun.

I didn't know time traveling could be done in short patches. Why can't you wait for next week to come instead?

Btw, I'm an informed townie. I know this game is single ball and the scum team is of 3 members. There are probably many 1-shot investigatives and many 1-shot protectors. I won't crumb/hint my role. Let's just call say I'm basically a VT starting D2 (and will still get shot anyway).

Fridays is a restaurant. Saturdays is a clothing brand. I don't see the relation between the two. :shifty:

i'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to get hypo-innos out there but haven't come to anything conclusive

i think that a cop giving a hypo-inno each day will be kinda confusing when they flip given that they may have given several hypo-innos at that point but only one (at most) is true

i'm kinda thinking that a cop with a guilty should out it tho given that everyone is one-shot

Cops claim after the fact, meaning the N1 Cop (if any) will out at the start of D2 and give us their result.

Everyone else remains fair game for scum. They may shoot a N5 Cop (and the game could end on D4) or may shoot a Doctor (regardless of what night they act that's not what scum need).

Now, you've seen me get NK'd as a claimed VT. Now it's time for you to witness me getting NK'd as a claimed N1 Doctor. :wink:

if you are a doctor can you say who you saved when you use your ability?

@Spaghetti: nm=N_M = Not_Mafia = a player in this game whom I like too much to vote for the lynch. (You will see why when he graces us with his presence).

Hypo-inno: A process of hypothetical claims where everyone says "if I'm the Cop I have an innocent result on <player name>", and is usually used to get the cop delivering their results without having to out (so as not to get shot next). It is not needed in this setup because the Cops are all one shot, so whoever does get a result will explicitly out and then be a vanilla townie from that point on.

Of course. I can state my target the day after.
