All roles that appear in the game are from this list. Not every role in this list is used in the game.
Rules:
1.
You may
not
PM or IM or otherwise contact any player at anytime about this game, regardless of if you are living or dead. If your role makes an exception to this rule for you, strictly follow the new rule in your role PM.
2.
Once you are dead you can no longer post in-thread.
Not even a "bah." post.
Seriously.
3.
Each player can vote for exactly one other player at a time during the day. Make your choice in bold letters like
Vote: YYYYYY
.
4.
To change your vote, post
Unvote
in bold letters, or make a post voting for someone else in accordance with
3.
.
5.
Cast votes and unvotes that do not follow the formatting guideline described in (3.) and (4.) will
not
be counted.
6.
A lynch will occur when more than 50% of the players have their votes placed upon the same player, or have their votes placed upon
Nolynch
. After the 50%+1 threshold is reached, the lynch will occur regardless of any subsequent posting.
7.
"Day" is defined as the period between the moderator's "Start of Day __" post, and when either (a) the deadline is reached, or (b) a vote is cast that places a player past the 50%+1 threshold necessary for a lynch.
Role actions can only be submitted during periods of day. I will post any public results of resolved actions (only death scenes in the case of this game) between 2 and 36 hours after receiving the PM.
8.
"Twilight" is defined as the period between (a) the deadline and the following "Start of Day ___" post, or (b) the time of the final valid vote necessary for a lynch or nolynch was cast and the following "Start of Day ___" post. Role actions are not valid if they are submitted during periods of twilight.
9.
The game starts once I make a post saying "Start of Day 1". I will unlock the thread once everyone has received their role PM. It is not necessary to PM me back or post "/confirm" in the thread: just start playing.
10.
Each period of Day will have a deadline I announce, where:
initial date + 1.5 days * the number of living players = deadline date
There will be
no
extensions. A deadline is a deadline, so talk while you can.
11.
When 72 hours have passed without an individual player posting, I will prod that player only if requested to do so in-thread by any other player.
12.
If a prodded player does not open the prodding PM within 72 hours he will be replaced. Until a replacement is found the player facing replacement can still vote and post. If I have to prod a player a third time during the game, I will replace him. If you expect to be unable to post in the game for 48+ hours, send me a PM. I do not check the vacation/leave thread.
13.
Each votecount will contain the "
¬
" character next to the name of the player who will die if no votes are changed before the deadline. The "
¬
" character will remain on the same player until another player has more votes. Note that an effect of this rule is that in end-game scenarios the first person to vote may win the game simply by voting first.
14.
If you have the ability to edit posts, don't do it in this thread.
15.
If you have any questions please ask me via PM or in-thread as they occur to you. I will be as fair and helpful as I can
16.
Every moderator will make mistakes, and I am no exception. Please be patient, understanding, and forgiving towards me.
17.
I support free speech. Quote anything you like
(except for ongoing games!)
whenever you like. All forms of cryptography that do not require software (or more than 1 hour with just pen and paper) for encryption or decryption are acceptable as well. Do not PM or otherwise contact players outside the thread with game related information unless you are explicitly permitted.
Exceptions: you may
*cite when (date, time) a player has posted elsewhere on this site
*cite information posted by a moderator in another game (including alignment if it is revealed by the mod)
You shall not otherwise reference another game.
If you write a post has a chance of breaking this site-wide rule, PM it to me before you post it. I will tell you if it would get you modkilled or not.
19.
The game ends when all living players share the same win condition. If the game never ends then there will never be a "winner".
20.
Breaking a rule = death for a given value of death. I determine that value. A modkill will not end the day.
Role Pms have been sent in random order to prevent date/time confirmation of alignment. Once all role PMs have been opened I will unlock the thread and the game will start.
a player wrote:I'm not 100% familiar with Deep South. Do actions (kills, block, protect, etc...) occur when you receive them, or between the lynch scene and daybreak?
Both, depending upon the specific role.
Read the list of possible roles, and rule 7. carefully.
There are three basic categories:
1. Instant actions: kills,
cop investigations
2. Rest of day actions: block, protect,
track
3. End of day actions:
investigations
receive tracker investigation results
The "Tracker" role is something of a hybrid of a "rest of day" action and an "end of day" action, all other roles fit neatly into a single category.
edit: corrections are made in red. See this post for more information.

Just so you know, the deadline timer shows December 28th.

...interested in seeing a certian reaction.
