ETHICS
0. You will always be under the forum rules and guidelines. Please read them
here.
1. I am the Mod. I will be as reasonable as I can, and feel free to question me on what I do. But I will always have the final say.
2. If you have a problem or a question, send me PM me or use
bold text
in this format:
Mod: Message
3. No editing or deleting your posts for ANY reason. Use another post to rewrite what you wanted to say.
4. Roles trump rules. If there is a conflict between the rules and the role, the role wins.
5. Do not communicate with anyone outside of this thread regarding in-game information.
6. Never quote your Role PM. It is frowned upon especially when you start playing the flavored games.
7. No posting of game related screenshots.
8. When you're dead, you may PM me a (long) bah post and I will post it for you. I reserve the right to cut any game related information.
9. All in game mod notes will be in
Dark Red
. Please do not use it.
BASE GAMEPLAY
0. If you don't know how to play Mafia, please use this
handy flash tutorial.
1. All votes should be
bolded
and use this format:
Vote: Name
. No "unvotes" necessary as your latest vote will be the one counted.
2. If a majority is reached, then the person with the most votes will be lynched.
3. If a majority is not reached by the specified deadline, the person with the most votes will be lynched. This deadline may be extended (see below).
4. In the event of a tie with X votes when the deadline is reached, the person has the earliest Xth vote cast against them will be lynched. The vote count will always reflect this order.
5. Players may opt to not take action or to Vote: No Lynch. If a majority votes "No lynch", the day will end and the next night will begin.
6. Vote counts will be posted at the top of every page.
7. This game is meant to be played with the first post always displayed. To do that go to Profile --> Then scroll down to "Always show First Post on every Topic Page" --> Choose "Yes" --> Scroll back down and click "Submit"
SPECIAL GAMEPLAY
1. This game has strict three week deadlines.
2. This is a Semi-Open Game, which means all role PMs will open to the public but the composition of the setup will be determined at random (see below).
3. IC's have the responsibility answering Newbie Questions without bias, and without the Moderator interfering with the game (except in cases where the moderator only knows the answer, e.g. Deadlines.). IC's may lose their IC status if they fail to do so. More information in the Wiki article,
How to be a Good IC.
DEADLINES AND PRODS
1. Three weeks from when a day officially begins is the minimum deadline for each day.
2.
If there is sufficient activity and requests for replacements, I will extend this deadline one week.
3. In cases where the replacement needs to integrate into the game and a deadline looms, I will extend the deadline two days .
4. Night deadlines are 72 hours from the posting of the death scene.
5. A prod will go out if the player is inactive for 72 hours or more without notifying the mod of V/LA or other issues.
6. A player will automatically be replaced if he/she has not responded to the prod and has been absent for more than five days.
7. I will prod on request.
