. You can use it if you want, just don't attempt to impersonate me.
Behaviour
- Don’t be a dick, no personal attacks.
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.
Provable randomness
- is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
- You have about 48 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
- Days will last up to 7 real-life days. Extensions may or may not be granted if there are replacements, or if the circumstances call for it (for example, if the site was experiencing issues).
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. 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 48 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 4 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 the format VOTE: Datisi. Vote tags are
necessary
, votes done in bold tags will not be counted. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
v]Datisi[
/v] to vote and [
uv]Datisi[
/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. It takes (100% of living players + 1) votes to lynch the Moderator.
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!
I meant to read old runs of this setup and only got through one of them, but what are you all's thoughts on claiming targets in advance
As long as everyone claims regardless, it’s probably a good idea.

It’s a joke from guns & roses 3, recently ended. We started LyLo hard TR each other, I was forced to have doubts by the nature of the setup/game, and then I was quicklynched by scum after he voted me and it was sad.
I was hoping to see how he reacted but that’s kind of ruined now. It’s not a big deal either way.
Why did you assume it was serious and “baggage?”

I had no context and no reason to assume it was a joke!
I thought it sounded serious, and if there was some baggage between you two I think it'd be good to clear the air rather than dance around it.

But my joke “assumed” we were both town. How would you NOT perceive that as a joke?

And if you didnt, why wouldn’t you immediately vote me for perspective slip?
Nvm, allow me.

I'm leaning toward agreeing with massclaiming actions before night but I'm still not sure what ways town could be punished for it, I feel like there's the potential for a lot of confusion and a maximum potential of four possible deaths? Are we going to be able to make sense of night actions even with day 1 target claim?

hmm
if everyone acts is there a risk that we do not actually get a day 2?
in theory that should be an unlikely scenario but it is possible to go mislynch (6-2) --> CPR, quack, weak, nightkill --> (2-2) for a 1-night town loss?
not that I think we could actually stop people, and it's more fun to try to vig people anyway I'm sure, but that is a little concerning lol

I actually work in medicine IRL. Fun fact. Not a physician though.

Unsatisfactory. You must be crazy.

Obum sounds very defensive here. I could see this being scum being caught out very early. Notice the spacing in his two sentences? If he was enraged and distraught as his exclamation mark suggests, he shouldn't have the damn time to separate his sentences like that. And the second sentence sounds a lot more composed than the first. Robot who can turn his emotions on and off on the flick of a switch? Or SCUM?
Scum is my conclusion - if that wasn't clear.
