Deadlines:
8. Day 1 will last 10 days. Days 2 and onward will last 7 days.
9. Nights will last 48 hours. Fast Nights are always an option provided all living players PM me saying they would like one.
10. During Days, players
other than Tree-Stumps
must make a game-advancing post once every 36 hours or receive a prod. Players have 24 hours after a prod to make a game-advancing post. Upon receiving their third prod, players will be automatically replaced.
Tree-Stumps will not be required to post.
11. Players who are due for a prod at the end of a Day will be prodded as normal and should respond to the prod by PM within 24 hours.
12. Players on V/LA will be prodded every 60 hours (2.5 days) and have 24 hours to respond to a prod. V/LA should be used reasonably.
Votes, eliminations, Night Actions:
13. Vote by using VOTE: Aisa or
Vote:Aisa
. Reset to voting no-one by using UNVOTE: or
Unvote:Aisa
. Vote tags are preferred.
14. Votes in spoiler tags or otherwise obfuscated will not be counted.
15. When >50% of alive players are voting the same player, that player is eliminated and the Day will end early. No takes-backsies: changes of votes after an elimination is achieved have no effect.
16. If an elimination is not achieved by the deadline, there will be no elimination.
17. Players may use VOTE: No Elimination to end the Day early with no elimination. If 50% of players vote for no-elimination, the Day will end early.
18.
Axing
is an alternative, in-flavour name for the elimination.
19. Any Night Actions you have should be submitted to me via PM or in a PT where I have indicated that this is acceptable. You can always change Actions before the Night deadline. Night Actions submitted after the deadline will not be accepted, even if the game thread has not been unlocked yet.
Moderation notes:
20. These rules cannot possibly cover everything. I reserve the right to add to the rules (you will be notified) and to take action on any situations even when they are not explicitly covered here.
21. Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as actually breaking a rule.
22. I am always up for a chat! If you're in doubt about anything, or want to give feedback, just PM me. If it's a minor piece of feedback or not related to this game you can even submit anonymously through this Google Form.
23. SirCakez is the lovely listmod in charge of this game. You should feel free to contact them about any concerns you have.
This is a 9-player game. It uses the open setup Forest Fire. There will be some handwritten flavour, with no bearing on the game.
The roles in the game are:
2x
Arsonists
6x
Trees
1x
Firefighter
You are given the following points of clarification:
The Arsonists have Daytalk.
This is different from the Role PMs in the wiki page for this setup.
Trees only become Tree-Stumps upon being eliminated via the Day vote.
Tree-Stumps can be primed and ignited.
Tree-Stumps don't count as alive for endgame purposes.
Tree-Stumps are not subject to posting requirements.
The only situation in which an Arsonist victory is guaranteed to be declared is when 50% of players left alive are Arsonists. I will declare a win earlier if I am sure it is mechanically inevitable, but if there is any doubt, the game will go on.
The Arsonists are the informed minority faction in this game. The Trees and Firefighter constitute the uninformed majority faction of the Forest.
Arsonists win when they are 50% or more of the players left alive or nothing can prevent this from occurring. The Forest wins when only Forest-aligned players are left alive.
During the Day, all alive players vote to axe (eliminate) a player. If an Arsonist or Firefighter is axed, they are removed from the game thread as per usual. If a Tree is axed, they become a Tree-Stump. Tree-Stumps may no longer vote and do not count as alive for endgame purposes, but can continue to post in the game thread.
During the Night, the Arsonists may choose to either prime a single target or ignite (kill) all previously primed targets. Tree-Stumps are valid targets. The Firefighter may target someone to block them from being primed (on that Night only).

There may be no wind, but all Trees are rustling their leaves in trepidation. There was a wildfire somewhere last night. The horrible smell of burnt trees, the roaring sound of fire, a slight warming of the air... it must have been close. What could possibly have caused it?
Day 1 starts now and ends in (expired on 2022-10-12 11:55:00).
We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it. (I'm slightly scared of Nancy)
