Game rules:
1. I am the mod. Not like a game mod. Wait, no, I am a game mod, but not like a mod for a game. Wait, uh, how to explain this- I am in charge and what I say goes.
2. Votetags are preferable to bolding votes, but both will be counted
3. You can keep posting after a lynch occurs until I lock the thread.
4: The day phase will last at most 16 IRL days, and is composed of a 48 hour Morning phase and a conventional day phase. Nights last 48 hours.
5. I can change or add things to the rules at any time, though not maliciously. (See rule 8)
6.
0ffff0
is my colour. Do not use it. My apologies to users of inferior forum styles.
7. No copying exactly what is stated in either private topics or in PMs from me unless explicitly allowed. Paraphrase please.
8. This game is not bastard.
9. Tell me before you V/LA.
10. You get a prod if you don't post for 48 hours. I'll replace you if you fail to pick up within 24 hours of a prod. If you get prodded a lot and I think the situation is getting out of hand, I might suggest you ask for a replacement or even force replace.
11. Death is final. But you can have a contentless bah post when you do die.
12. Don't discuss the game outside of threads specifically for the game.
13. Do not discuss ongoing games.
14. Site rules apply, but you already knew that.
15. Read the mechanics post. It's simpler than some I've done before.

Mechanics


Day phases for this game will be split into two sections.
The first section, Morning, will last 48 hours, and will be a plurality vote- meaning that if deadline runs out, the choice with the highest number of votes at the end of the deadline will be selected.

The choices in this phase will be between three directions to take a Skyrim character, represented by the three standing stones near Riverwood for flavour reasons. Once a stone is chosen, either by majority vote or plurality at deadline, the level of its associated path will increase by 1 and the stone power will be considered active for the rest of the day/night cycle.

The level of paths may change by means other than this vote, and may affect roles in the game. All 3 paths start the game at level 0.

The active stone power, aside from its stated effect in the table below, may also affect roles in the game.

StonePathStone EffectCurrent Path Level
Warrior StoneBoard and SwordThe voting in the rest of the day phase will be plurality at deadline.2
Thief StoneStealth ArcherAll private topics will be locked for the rest of the day phase.4
Mage StoneWizardAll players will take 1 less vote to lynch in the rest of the day phase.1



This game uses SkyNAR, which is like NAR except I'll prioritise abilities linked with an active stone power if I can.

The first Morning has begun!
If you're unsure what this means, then it's because you haven't read the rules.

Okay, I've finally got my mod list sorted out. Time to actually play some Skyrim! But what kind of character should I play?

Stealth archer. They all end up as stealth archers anyway, might as well do it on purpose.

Disappointed I didn't get my colored arrows mod. I have a couple of ideas, but they can wait for morning, just turning in at almost half past 1AM.

On a side note, I kind of don't like that daytalk is the order of the day these past few years. I think nighttalk only is an important balancing aspect, or at least gate it to an Encryptor. W/e I'm tired. Should do a MD article on that topic

Looking at it, the mage stone is pretty bad. However, it says the stone power does have some effects, so its possible that powers that weaken town's ability during the day, strengthen their power in the night?

Warrior means Plurality at deadline means we get less info about who would vote someone at the deadline.

Wizard means 1 less vote to hammer, which means we get 1 less voting info about who would vote someone.

Archer means scum won't get PT, but any other PT groups also won't get it.

My crackpot theory is that whichever stone is active also powers other stuff

Hello everyone! Any skyrim fans here? I predict that this will be a fun game. May your dragons never fly backwards.

Also, I'm not sure what this means: "The voting in the rest of the day phase will be plurality at deadline."
Though locking private threads doesn't sound like a bad idea, so VOTE: Thief Stone.

VOTE: Thief Stone

Yea the other two seem kinda anti town. But I'd guess that the ones that seem bad are probably more useful for specific roles.

Also hi people. I haven't played this game in like years but I'm glad I still know some people! This is a cool theme

OK, I'm so confused on the voting for stones.

Do we still vote and lynch people?

OH, I see what those stones do now.

BUT I do know they power up PRs.

Even if the Warrior Stone may be anti-Town it could give PRs added power.

I think I like this Morning phase aspect. I may try this on a grander 50-player scale.

stealth archers are amazing - every time i play skyrim i tell myself that i'll make a different build this time for sure but nope - it always comes down to stealth archer probably the most fun though so not a surprise

pops is right but cruel - i was looking forward to taking to my neighbours alimdia and the two others but whatever

He usually never puts effort into reads like that, which does sometimes get him scumread, but since he was on an alt and we didn't know his meta, I can see CL!him making reads as an exception since he knows he'll probably be scumread otherwise.

Warrior Stone - useful, because plurality lynch will allow town change wagons near the end of the day/ release the pressure from having to hammer.
Thief Stone - useful day 1, especially if we can/ manage to "hammer" it very quickly, so mafia has very little time to talk with each other.
Mage Stone - useless, so it will probably boost lots of PRs.
