rules

shamelessly stolen

inspired by plotinus' and schadd_'s rulesets.

the tl;dr:

~ day 1: 7 days. night 1: 2 days. day 2: 14 days.
~ majority yeets.
~ 36 hour before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
~ if you want to replace out, pm me.
~ flavour has no bearing on player alignments.
~ don't be a dick.

the basics:

~ follow all site rules.
~ my mod colour is

teal

. you can use it if you want, just don't attempt to impersonate me.
~ 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.
~

if you wish to replace out, pm me, do not request replacement in thread.

do not discuss your reasons for replacing out publically. do not threaten to replace out or tell other players to replace out. if you have any concerns that a player should be replaced, pm me.
~ do not quote pm's from the mod at all, either real or fabricated. do not quote posts from private threads. this includes specific timestamps. paraphrasing is acceptable.
~

don’t be a dick.

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.
~

flavour is just flavour, and has no bearing on player alignments.

don't use it to make arguments.
~ play to win. seriously claiming scum with another player is against the rules. i will judge what counts as serious - don't toe the line.
~ if you have any questions about the rules, feel free to pm me.

days and voting:

~ day 1 lasts up to 7 real-life days. day 2 lasts up to 14 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).
~ votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: datisi or

vote: datisi

. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. unvotes are nice but not required. type [

v]datisi[

/v] to vote and [

uv]datisi[

/uv] to unvote.
~ you can use nicknames when voting, as long as it is clear who you're referring to.
~ if i think it’s a vote, it’s a vote.
~ day 1 ends when two discord channels have been assigned 3 players. day 2 ends when either faction scores 2 points.
~ if the day deadline runs out, hackers immediately win.
~ it takes (100% of living players + 1) votes to yeet the moderator.

activity and v/la:

~ 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.
~ if i have to prod you for the fourth time, i will automatically start searching for a replacement.
~ 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.
~ 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 need to be absent for longer than 36 hours, 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 60 hours. two nudges equals one prod. if you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of v/la status, you will be replaced.
~ 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; datisi is still scum."

nights and night actions:

~ night lasts 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.
~ you may submit actions via pm. if you have a scum pt, a mason pt, or a notes pt, you may also submit your actions there. 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.
~ 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, i will randomize the night action between the available choices.

miscellaneous:

~ let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. you may draft posts in your notes pt if the posts are clearly meant to be posted in the main thread. you may talk about your notes pt. you may not directly quote from your notes pt, and you may not use it 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.
~ provable randomness is against the rules. saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org screenshots is not.
~ no hard to read / extremely small text. cryptography is forbidden. breadcrumbing is okay.
~ using scripts to alter or hide another player's posts is not allowed.
~ the only allowed media is embedded content, or links to uneditable content. for example, you are not allowed to link vocaroos and pastebins in the thread.
~ very big images and big chunks of non-game-related text are allowed, as long as they are spoiled. if you post them without a spoiler, i will edit a spoiler in.
~ excessive spamming is not allowed.
~ the mod may make mistakes. minor errors (such as a mistake in the vote count) can be pointed out in-thread. for bigger errors, please pm me.
~ i reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as i see fit. you will be notified if this happens.

game setup - Guardians of the Fortress

here is the wiki page of the setup. it will also be explained below.

please make note that i have changed the flavour names of the roles and the locations.

this is purely an aesthetics change.

setup:

~

6 moderators

~

3 hackers

mechanics:

on day 1, there is no elimination. instead, at any time a player may sign up to moderate

Sillyposting

,

Mafia Discussion

, or

Stop Getting Banned

. one player may only sign up to moderate one channel, and players may not change their chosen channel. at most three players can be signed up at any one channel. day 1 ends when two channels have 3 players assigned to them. all unassigned players will automatically be assigned to the third channel. then, if all three hackers are at the same channel, the moderators win immediately.

night 1, the hackers must choose two players and swap their assigned channels such that exactly one hacker is in each channel. channel assignments are public.

day 2 is played as 3 concurrent minigames in each channel, although all nine players may still share the game thread and submit their votes there. it uses the following rules:

~ in

Mafia Discussion

, one moderator is chosen by the hackers to be confirmed as a moderator, and moderators must eliminate the hacker to win.
~ in

Stop Getting Banned

, there are no special rules. moderators must eliminate the hacker to win.
~ in

Sillyposting

, moderators must vote on one player. if that player is a moderator, moderators win; otherwise, hackers win.

the side that wins more minigames than the other side wins the entire game.

additional rules:

~ all 3 minigames are played in the same thread; however, players may only vote for their own minigame.
~ after majority is reached in a minigame, that minigame is immediately resolved, and all players involved are flipped.
~ once a a player's minigame is resolved, that player may no longer post in the game thread, with the exception of the player who was confirmed moderator in Mafia Discussion, who may continue to post until the end of the game no matter what.

sample role pm's:

welcome,

playername

. you are a

moderator

.

abilities:

~ you have no special abilities.

win conditions:

~ you win if all three hackers are assigned to the same channel.
~ you win if exactly two of Sillyposting, Mafia Discussion, and Stop Getting Banned are controlled by the moderators.

the game thread is here. please confirm your role by replying to this pm with your role name.

welcome,

playername

. you are a

hacker

.

abilities:

~ your fellow hackers are

playername

and

playername

. as long as you are in the game, you may talk to them in the hacker pt, located here.
~ during night 1, the hackers must select two players to swap channels. there must be exactly 1 hacker in each channel by the start of day 2.
~ during night 1, the hackers must select one player whose final channel is Sillyposting to publicly confirm as a moderator.

win condition:

~ you win if exactly two of Sillyposting, Mafia Discussion, and Stop Getting Banned are controlled by the hackers.

the game thread is here. please confirm your role by replying to this pm with your role name, or by posting in your pt.

[Datisi]

hi

Datisi

Today at 02:14 AM

the reason why i've gathered you here today is
we have a problem

marcistar

Today at 02:14 AM

whats wrong??

Datisi

Today at 02:16 AM

in the past few days, this server has not been running as it should be
after double-checking the moderation logs, i'm pretty sure the only possible cause is intentional sabotage and hacking from within the mod team

Dwlee99

Today at 02:16 AM

What?

Lukewarm

Today at 02:16 AM

Oh.

Datisi

Today at 02:16 AM

this is why your mod powers have been removed for the time being - i already got a few dm's asking about that

RH9

Today at 02:17 AM

Wait.
Datisi, are you saying these hackers are a part of the moderation team?

Datisi

Today at 02:18 AM

i believe so, yes
based on the damage that's already been done to the server, it's gotta be at least three people causing it

Meuh

Today at 02:19 AM

Wait what???
You mean, three of us???

GeorgeBailey

Today at 02:19 AM

You could say the hackers are
Among us

Datisi

Today at 02:20 AM

george shut the fuck up

GeorgeBailey

Today at 02:20 AM

Lmao

Lukewarm

Today at 02:21 AM

What do we do?

Datisi

Today at 02:21 AM

here's the thing
our three most popular channels are Sillyposting, Mafia Discussion, and Stop Getting Banned
i think the server could survive if we lost one of those, but not if we lost any more
until we figure out who the rats are, i think it's a good idea to have each mod be assigned to only one of these channels, so that each has three
that way, nobody can single-handedly ruin the server

Faker

Today at 02:23 AM

How do we decide who will mod which channel?

Datisi

Today at 02:24 AM

lmfao i don't care
err
i trust you to decide by yourselves
just ping me when you make up your mind and i'll assign you to your channel

PookyTheMagicalBear

Today at 02:25 AM

you got it

marcistar

Today at 02:25 AM

we'll let you know

Datisi

Today at 02:26 AM

oh, and one more thing
if all three hackers get assigned to the same channel, i think i should be able to ban all of them immediately
so like, try to do that i guess

PenguinPower

Today at 02:27 AM

But you just said everyone picks which channel they will mod for themselves.

Save The Dragons

Today at 02:28 AM

yeah that
won't it be basically impossible to get all three hackers to mod the same channel

Datisi

Today at 02:30 AM

sounds like a skill issue
anyway
i'm gonna go pass out now
good luck

[Datisi]

mod notes

~ highlighting one of the rules here: if the day deadline runs out, the hackers will immediately win.
~ everyone has confirmed.
~ this is a mod note.

[Meuh]

Gooood morning Discord server!

RVS doesn’t seem like a thing (especially since I don’t think choices can be undone)
So I’m spiritually voting for Faker right now.

I think using some weird fast strategy would be the best way to get all the scum in a single channel but it still sounds tricky to do. I think we should take full advantage of this day, try our best to get scum all together and if it doesn’t work, we have a nice day 2 to play

[Meuh]

Actually maybe I should pick a channel right now, and the next person to check the thread should do the same. If we’re both moderators (which is statistically probable), we put the mafia in a tricky position…

Also the game flavour is great already!!

[Meuh]

If I were to pick a channel it’d probably be Stop Getting Banned…
Sillyposting sounds fun but also I don’t wanna carry the responsibility of being conf town in this setup

[Meuh]

Wait oops I mixed them up…
Mafia Discussion I don’t wanna go in because I don’t want to have the responsibility of being conf town
Stop Getting Banned seems fine
Sillyposting sounds fun though, I wanna townie hunt
