General Rules/Game Etiquette
  1. Obey all Site-wide Rules.
  2. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
  3. You may not quote private communication of any kind. This includes moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
  4. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
Activity/Prods/Replacements
  1. Prods of missing players will be issued after 36 hours of no activity.
  2. A prodded player has 24 hours to respond to the prod, after which time a replacement search will begin. The prodded player may re-enter the game so long as no replacement has been found.
  3. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 36 hours please PM Cabd and I or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
Deadlines
  1. Deadlines for this game will be 10 days for Day 1 and 7 days for following Day Phases. Night Phases will last 48 hours.
  2. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.
  3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to the mods by the posted deadline. If the mods do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
Player Actions/Voting/Player Death
  1. Starting day 1, if at any point during the day more than half of the living players are voting for a particular player, day will end and that player will be eliminated.
  2. A majority(half plus one) must occur for an elimination to occur
  3. Votes must be bolded or use the [.vote] tags to be counted (e.g.
    Vote: Player
    or VOTE: Player).
  4. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
  5. Votes made using nicknames or abbreviations will be counted at our discretion. If we think its a vote, then its a vote.
Miscellaneous
  1. I will use
    bolded font
    for Mod posts. Don't impersonate the mods. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed.
  2. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to our discretion and will be handled as we see fit on a case-by-case basis.

(a comment because i'm in the mood to)

Yeah, 3 masons + a bit of town power vs 3 scum is a decently common 13p normal trope. You could do a lot of things with a scum informed role here - informing them of a specific mason is a little mean to that mason, but informing them generally of the existence of masons is reasonable. You could also inform them of the existence of a doctor, rather than of masons - this would basically let them know that they're not supposed to shoot a claimed mason because there'll be a doc on them, but hunt for other masons/for the doctor. In that case they'd find out there are masons on a mason death or claim or on a rolecop hit. Of course it's up to the reviewers what they want.

It could give additional info if there were a neighborizer in the game.
