- Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
Don't talk about ongoing games
- You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
Animated GIFs
- are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
Tiny text
- is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
Claiming scum
- by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
- You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
Days
- Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
Activity
- You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
Vacation/Limited Access
If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
V/LA
in bold in the thread like this: [
b]
@Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
[
/b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
Prodging
- A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
Quoting
- You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
Voting
- Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
Vote: Plotinus
. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
v]Plotinus[
/v] to vote and [
uv]Plotinus[
/uv] to unvote.
Lynching
- Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
Twilight
- Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
Night
- Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
Action submissions
- You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
Reminders
- If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
Notes PT
- Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
Play to win
- this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2019-12-10 19:30:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner. Daystart may be up to a couple hours late because I'm not sure when I'm getting home on Tuesday.
The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

Ama Dablam, Nepal
Mod notes:
Sorry for the delay, but I'm home now! I don't usually have a life so probably the rest of everything will be on time.
Everyone except for Dab and MIND are here, so they are being replaced. Gyro Zeppeli replaces Dab and Nomanssky101 replaces MIND. They both have (expired on 2019-12-13 08:00:00) to confirm before I will start looking for a replacement; an extra 8 hours because I want to go to bed on time on Thursday.
Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things.[/area]

EBWOP... Well this is a good start :/
And just noticed this. Second the being off to a good start. Just leaves the SvS / TvT part.

In post 20, Farren wrote:Ph0enix being the more likely of the two to be Town. What's your reasoning?
Sorry I meant Phoenix and did messily attempt to clarify that. As for TvT, I think the following two scenarios are more likely.
1. SvT - Gyro is scum and trying to lowkey RVS in a way that doesn't draw attention and Phoenix really doesn't know who Gyro is or what ToS is and so votes for pressure.
2. SvS - Gyro and Phoenix feel pressured to vote early and decide to vote each other as a means to distance themselves early game. Perhaps Gyro slipped and they have discussed ToS in pregame scum chat.
I could be wrong but these were the initial impressions I had.
In post 20, Farren wrote:My choice to vote during RVS or not is based on my alignment in my previous game, not this one. This time around, no RVS voting for me.
Interesting could you elaborate on what happened in the previous game that made you decide not to RVS?

The way I figure - Gyro's vote looks like standard RVS - with Ph0enix's clarification making it look like a case of mistaken identity. Voting for someone you know (or think you know) is NAI. Mistaken identity would be less likely to happen in an SvS situation if there was any scumtalk going on. Reduces the chance that it's an SvS interaction.
With Ph0enix: given the mistaken identity bit, looks like Ph0enix voting Gyro for Gyro doing something weird. Slightly townie.
but seriously, O_o <--- this is me watching you.
