GENERAL:
1. Do not quote any PMs I send you. You may paraphrase.
2. No private communication outside the thread unless your role allows it. Players with roles allowing private communication may use them at night, but not during the day.
3. Blue is my color, please do not use it for ANYTHING.
4. Please make any official "in-thread mod communication" by prefacing it with
@Mod:
(
"@Mod: can we have a votecount please?"
)
5. If you believe you see a mistake in the votecount or something I have done, please point it out to me.
6. Posting using invisible text, white/grey text, or blackened out text is not allowed. Do not edit your posts. I will probably edit my posts. That's because I'm the mod and will leave stuff out.
7. If I see any conduct that I deem unnecessarily rude or inappropriate, I reserve the right to either modkill or replace that player.
8. Moderator decisions are final.
9. Moderator reserves the right to edit any of these rules.
NIGHT AND DAY:
1. This game is a Day Start.
2. A moderator deadline may be imposed if discussion lags. If there are not enough votes for a lynch at deadline, No Lynch will occur.
3. Nights will last 72 hours. All night actions must be received by that time or they will be void. If you are going to forgo a night action, let me know.
VOTING AND LYNCHING:
1. All votes must be in bold and look like
Vote: Scummy McScummerson
. Please
Unvote
as well.
2. You may not self-vote, or vote the moderator.
3. A lynch is achieved when a simple majority votes to lynch a player. Unvotes will not change a lynch once it is achieved.
4. Once a lynch has been achieved (or appears to be achieved), it is twilight. The lynched player should not post.
5. A simple majority of players voting No Lynch ("
Vote: No Lynch
") will cause the game day to end with no lynch.
6. If a deadline is incurred, you will (most of the time) have 1-2 weeks to reach a majority vote and a lynch.
7. If a majority vote is not reached by deadline, a no lynch will be incurred and the game will proceed to the next night phase.
6. Dead players may post a "bah!" post, as long as it does not contain any game information.
PLAYING:
1. Please let us all know in the thread if you will be unable to post for a period of 3 days or more.
2. If you have a problem with this game, please PM me privately; do not discuss it in the open thread.
3. Posting within the game's spirit of paranoia is great; abusive, harassing, or obscene posts are not.
4. Have fun. Not having fun will get you taken out into the street and shot.
Game Specific Rules:
1) Every day, a "coincidence" will occur in the form of a catastrophe or accident of some sort. One random player will be unable to post during that day, and cannot be lynched (but can be NK'd during the night). They can also be protected, investigated and so forth, but they themselves will receive an one-night night action for use during the upcoming night.
2) Each night, grammasites will attack the thread, causing a few random posts to be jumbled via random generator, so as to be unreadable.
3) All players will be sent a question each night that, if answered correctly, will grant them an extra vote during the upcoming day. The questions can be about absolutely anything.
