This list is not necessarily all-inclusive. If you're unsure whether or not something is allowed, please PM me about it.
Disregarding the rules may result in consequences up to and including modkill and/or force-replacement.
There is to be NO PRIVATE OR OUTSIDE OF THREAD COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER PLAYERS IN THIS GAME ABOUT THIS GAME AT ANY TIME

Additionally, feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.
Please do not use hidden or encrypted text.
Play to win.
Please treat your fellow players with respect. At the same time, please try not to take comments personally whenever possible.

Gameplay
The following vote formats are the de-facto standard on the site (aka votes should be enclosed with vote tags or bold tags. I don't care about caps/spelling/etc.)
VOTE: borkjerfkin
Vote: borkjerfkin
UNVOTE: /
unvote
declarations are valid to remove your vote, but are
not
required in order to change it.
If it appears to be a vote for a player, I will treat it as a vote for a player. Please don't attempt to fool me or other players with regard to fake votes. Do not put votes in spoiler tags.
An
elimination
is achieved when half plus one of the current number of living players are voting for the same player. If this does not occur by deadline, a No Elimination will occur -- there is no plurality elimination in this game.
Twilight is the time between the 'hammer' vote being cast and the beginning of the night phase. All living players, including the most recent elimination, may talk during this time.
Players' alignments will be revealed on death.
When killed, a player may make one informationless 'bah' post at the beginning of the next day phase and must be silent thereon until the conclusion of the game.
Please submit all night actions either via your private topic if you have one, or by PM if you do not.
If you have a night action and do not submit one, you will not take an action. I will not resolve your action on a random person.
Player List is ordered alphabetically by the initial players' names.
Role distribution is guaranteed to be random, determined with the aid of random.org
Deadlines
Day 1 will be exactly 10 days long. All further days will be seven (7) days long. Extensions may be granted at my discretion for what I feel are extenuating circumstances.
Nights will be exactly two days (48 hours) long.
Players will be given 48 hours to initially pick up role PMs, or they will be replaced.
Players will be prodded after 36 hours of inactivity during the day, excepting V/LA circumstances.
Failure to pick up a prod in 24 hours will result in replacement. Asking for replacement will result in replacement.
SE Guidelines
The purpose of the SE (Semi-Experienced) players in this game is to help newbies understand how the game is played on mafiascum.net. If you have any questions about abbreviations, etiquette, mafia theory, etc., do not hesitate to ask. Newbie games are meant to be educational.

1. Approximately how many games of FM have you played?
(Here or elsewhere included, rough estimate)
2. What time zone are you from?
(Helpful for coming together as town when needed)
3. What’s your favorite animal?
(This one’s just for fun kek)
My answers
1. 25+ (Mostly on ToS forums)
But I’ve played a few newbies here, except replaced out.
The pace is usually too slow for me here compare to ToS.
Though I enjoy that it seems more serious here.
Figured I should give MS another chance <3
2. My time zone is Standard Central time.
Minnesota specifically - it’s 6:05PM
I’ve got insomnia so my active times will likely change.
3. My favorite animals are any type of large wild cat.
Jaguars are the best though!
Super pretty and powerful/graceful.

1. Just one other so far. I haven't played elsewhere but I'm familiar with the game.
2. Eastern standard time, but I work between 4pm and 2:30am so most of my posting will be a little before or after.
3. Hard to pick, but maybe seals.
