I am the Bulge thy Mod. My word is law. Any text colour similar to

is reserved for my official use.
@Bulge
for any in-thread mod communication or feel free to PM me at any time. Gypyx is the secondary mod should I become unavailable.
ii.
The consequences of breaking these rules are case-by-case. Do not test or abuse the rules. If I think you're exploiting a loophole, I reserve the right to change these rules and take immediate action. Play in the spirit of the game.
iii.
Familiarize yourself with the Forum Rules & Guidelines, linked above. Make sure to stay on top of any new Important Announcements.
iv.
Do not talk about other ongoing games in this thread or any Private Thread. Do not talk about this game while it is ongoing in any other thread, except in any relevant PTs provided by the mod.
v.
Do not for any reason harass any other player or try to ruin the fun of the game for anyone. I won't tolerate a toxic environment.
vi.
If you want to replace out of the game, please contact me privately rather than announcing so in-thread.
vii.
Play to your Win Condition. Do not claim to be scum partners with another player.
viii.
Do not use any third party software, such as browser scripts, to alter or hide another player's posts.
ix.
Do not use encrypted, invisible, or ridiculously tiny text. I may edit your posts if you do. This is a social game with no place for cryptography. Breadcrumbing is of course allowed.
x.
Do not use provable randomness. You are allowed to say, for example, that you rolled a die to arrive at a particular conclusion, but you cannot use the tag.
xi.
Do not quote or copy+paste any text from any game-related PTs or personal messages, real or fabricated, and make no specific reference to the timestamps of these posts and messages.
xii.
All votes and unvotes must be bolded or contained within a [
vote
][
/vote
] or [
unvote
][
/unvote
] tag. Votes inside quote and spoiler tags will not be counted.
xiii.
Once a player has accumulated half of the votes (rounded down) plus one, an Elimination occurs and no further votes that Day are counted.
xiv.
If there is no majority vote reached before the deadline, there will be No Elimination. If you do not submit an Action before the deadline, you will perform No Action, unless your role states otherwise.
xv.
The Day phases will be at most 14 days long, except in the case of any late-day replacements. Nights will be 48 hours. All deadlines are as posted or until the mod arrives.
xvi.
If you go 48 hours without making a post, you will receive a prod. Failing to respond to a prod after 24 hours or accumulating four prods may result in your replacement.
xvii.
If you think you will be unable to post or check in for an extended period of time, please contact me privately so that we can make the appropriate arrangements.
xviii.
This game uses a closed Normal setup, designed following the Normal Game Rules (linked above) and approved by schadd_, Ircher, and implosion 14/12/2020.
Any and all Private Threads will remain open during the Day.
The following is a Role PM template that at least one player this game will receive:

17/21 players have confirmed. The remaining players have (expired on 2021-04-22 00:30:00) to do so before they are replaced. The game will begin with 1 more confirmation.
Replacing Flavor Leaf, zoro, mozamis, and TheYankeeReaper, who all failed to pick up their Role PMs. The game will begin once at least 1 of these slots has been filled. I will be filling them in playerlist order. Thank you all for your continued patience.
Nero Cain replaces Flavor Leaf. With that, we have enough confirmations to begin.
I am still seeking replacements for zoro, mozamis, and TheYankeeReaper. If they return before I find replacements, they will be allowed to stay in the game.
DeathNote has requested replacement. He may no longer post in the game.
This is a reminder to please message me privately if you wish to replace out, as per the forum rules.
Do not bring outside influences into the game - this includes threats, bribes, wagers, promises, "trust tells", alliances, etc. Using knowledge from previous games is perfectly acceptable, but try not to carry grudges from one game to another.
Replacements, while sometimes necessary, also serve as an outside influence. As such, do not tell other players to replace out. Do not publicly threaten to replace out of a game. If you do need to replace out, do not publicly discuss your reasons or anything else, as you are no longer a player in the game. PM your game moderator if you are considering replacing out or have concerns and believe another player should be replaced out.
Once a replace-out request has been made public by the moderator, the player replacing out is to stop posting in the game. The player is not allowed to replace back into the game or rescind their request. If a moderator wants to allow any deviation from these rules, it must be stated explicitly in their rule set.
I am once again citing this very same excerpt from the forum rules. Please make sure you are familiar with them in whole.
Replacements, while sometimes necessary, also serve as an outside influence. As such, do not tell other players to replace out. Do not publicly threaten to replace out of a game.
