GAME RULES

(Inspired by/stolen from Plotinus's, Datisi's, northsidegal's, and lilith2013's rulesets.)

THE RUNDOWN

♦ Day 1: 12 days, Day 2+: 7 days, Night: 48 hours
♦ 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement. 3 prods will result in force-replacement
♦ A weekend counts as 24 hours
♦ Majority eliminates
♦ You get 1 'bah' post after death, free of game-related content
♦ Don’t be a dick

General

1. Follow all site rules.
   
2. 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 though you may find yourself eliminated if you try it.
   
3. Don't talk about ongoing games. You may not talk about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
4. Do not use tiny text.
   
5. Provable randomness is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, provably doing so using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
6. Cryptography and hidden text is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
7. Claiming scum by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
8. You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
   
9. You may submit night actions via PM or PT.
   
10. Play to your wincon.
    
11. You have about
    48 hours
    to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if enough people confirm. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
12. If you'd like a personal PT for notes, please PM me.

Deadlines

1. 1. Day 1 lasts
   12 days
   and each day after lasts
   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.
   2. 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.

Voting

1. Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: redtea or Vote: redtea. 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 VOTE: redtea to vote and UNVOTE: redtea to unvote. This game also utilizes the HEAL: and HURT: tags. Again, strong preference for using the proper tags.
   
2. Twilight begins when an elimination has been confirmed or a majority of players voted for no elimination, 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.

Activity

1. You must post at least once every
   48 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.
   
2. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than
   48 hours
   , you should declare V/LA in bold in the thread like this:
   @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday
   .
   
3. I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.
   
4. 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."

Moderation Information

1. My mod colour is
   purple (#804080)
   ; please refrain from using it. Do not use it or similar colors to impersonate me.
   
2. Any in-thread communication meant for me should be bolded and include "
   @mod
   ." You are not guaranteed an answer if you do not bold or @ me.
   
3. Any situation not explicitly covered by these rules is subject to moderator discretion and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Setup

The Coalition

Setup

• 7 x
  Vanilla Townie
  
  
• 2 x
  Mafia Goon

Mechanics

• Scum have Daytalk.
  
• Day start.
  
• On Day 1, each player may propose a Coalition of five players (and may change their mind about this as often as they like, until a Coalition is locked in).
  
• A majority Coalition is agreed upon when at least five players have the same group of five people proposed as a Coalition. At this point, the Coalition is locked in and cannot be changed.
  
• If a Coalition containing scum is locked in, the game continues onto a normal Day 1 as a regular mountainous game at that point (but town have the information that there was at least one scum inside the Coalition); the Coalition mechanic is disabled for the rest of the game.
  
• If a Coalition containing five townies is locked in, town automatically wins.
  
• If no Coalition is formed by the end of Day 1, the game continues as a regular mountainous game. The Coalition mechanic is disabled for the rest of the game.
  
• Votes will be counted, but no elimination goes through until a Coalition is formed.
  
• If there is an elimination vote that has achieved majority when a failed Coalition (a Coalition that contains one scum or more) goes through, the elimination goes through subsequently.
  
• To add a player to your Coalition, use the HEAL: tags. To remove a player from your Coalition, use the HURT: tags.
  
• You may add yourself to your Coalition.
  
• Elimination votes are made as usual.

Flavor

Nine renowned pirate lords sat tense in a damp, dreary hideout breathing candle-smogged air. Close supporters and common hands alike crowded the central table.

The heated argument had died out a while ago, having come to a standstill. Coming to an agreement was proving to be impossible.

Finally, one broke the silence. “Really our biggest issue is nine pirates is simply too rambunctious for a productive meeting.” They collapsed their fan with a click.

“Clearly!” Someone heckled.

Another jiggled their leg. “What if we . . . decided on a smaller group then? Democra’ically? You can’ vote fer yerself more than once, ‘course.”

“Reminds me . . . ,” a rather reserved lord spoke up. They had sat back to let the rest bicker, hoping to win favor with a cool-headed display. Really, they should’ve known better than to expect reason from pirates. “I know we’re, well,” they gestured ‘round the assembled group. “But does the meeting not seem too chaotic, even for us?”

Everyone contemplated the implications; silence took hold in the cave once again.

There was a murmur in the back of the room. Someone whispered, "I don't get it."

"That's why yer not a pirate lord ya goddamn-!"

“Aye,” another lord smacked their knees. “ ‘ow about five? We vote fer five. Then they can figure this mess out. Much more manageable size eh?”

“Five? Seems rather arbitrary.”

“I can’t count lower than five.”

The group hummed and shrugged commiseratingly.

A good a reason as any.

That's 7/9 confirmations. The game begins!

HEAL: Farren
HEAL: Enchant

[Pavowski]

I flipped a coin and it told me to HURT: Farren

[Save The Dragons]

first

[Save The Dragons]

HEAL: STD

[ssbm_Kyouko]

HEAL: Kyouko
Coming off VLA tomorrow but will be catching up on other games. See ya in a couple days prolly

[cyrus62]

So we should think of five people we fully trust to be town and vote them. If we get 5 right we win yay lets see if we can do it.

[cyrus62]

So since the game works this way if we pick one scum it gos till all scum are dead but the plus side is we would know at least. One of the 5 is scum so if you want to vote me so you know if I'm scum or town go for it.

[Pavowski]

HURT: Cyrus

This is easy, got one already

[Farren]

Why the hurt tags, instead of vote tags?

[Pavowski]

Votes won't count until we form a coalition, which won't be for some time.

[Farren]

They won't serve towards eliminating anyone, but they still should be recorded on vote counts as the coalitions are updated.

[Pavowski]

I'm afraid of commitment, I'm just slinging the hurt around for now

[cyrus62]

Hey I say go ahead and single me out. I have to decied who I think is town as well.

[cyrus62]

So I think pev and enchant could be scum. Or feral and pev or feral and enchant but I won't be voteing these 3 for the 5.
