The Rules
____
1. Each day you may try to lynch somebody. A lynch requires a total number of votes that is more than half the people alive (e.g. if 9 people are alive, 5 votes are needed for a lynch). Unvoting or changing your vote after someone has already reached a majority number of votes will have no effect. Day phases will last three weeks. At the deadline, the person with the most votes will be lynched (regardless of whether or not they have a majority of the votes). If there is a tie at the deadline, a No Lynch will occur, so make all decisions wisely!
2. You may vote for a no lynch on any day. A no lynch requires that exactly half of the living players vote for it (e.g. if 8 people are alive, 4 votes are needed to no lynch). If an odd number of players are alive, a no lynch requires the same number of votes as a lynch would (e.g. If 5 players are alive, 3 votes are needed to no lynch).
3. Please bold your votes and unvotes as such
Vote: sorasgoof
. I would appreciate it if you include the name of any person you unvote, but it is not required. I would also prefer that you unvote before voting, but that is also not required.
4. There is no talking to other players about game content outside of the thread during the day. You may only talk to other people outside the thread at night if it is part of your role. This rule applies even if you are dead.
5. Do not use color or size tags to create barely readable secret messages. Anyone caught doing either one of these will receive a strike. Unlike baseball, it’s only two strikes and you’re out here.
6. Do not directly quote PMs from the mod. Do not falsely quote PM's from the mod. You are allowed to paraphrase a mod PM. You are allowed to quote or paraphrase anything a mod says in the thread.
7. Once you are dead, you are dead. You may post a simple "BAW!" post, but no game related content. Something like "It's obvious who should be lynched" or "You got me, but for the wrong reasons" is game related content, even if you don't include people's names.
8. Everyone may post during twilight EXCEPT for the person who was lynched that day.
9. Try to be relatively civil to each other. We know you're trying to kill each other, but that's no reason to insult somebody's mother. Anyone who delves into the realm of flaming will receive a strike (obligatory reminder that two strikes and you’re out).
10. Just because I'm moderating this game doesn’t mean that I'm infallible. If you feel that a mistake was made, send a PM to me, explaining what is wrong. You may also address it in the thread like so:
@Mod: Vote totals are wrong.
11. I will try to have a vote count up every page or every twenty-four hours. If you feel that I have gone too long without putting up a vote count, please either ask for a vote count in thread or PM me to let me know. To ask for a vote count, please use this format:
@Mod: Vote totals, please.
12. Please let your fellow players and your mods know if you are going to be unable to post for a period of more than 48 hours. Please try to make at least one post per real-life day. Multiple posts in one day are even better.
13. If a person has gone 24 hours without posting in the thread, they are eligible for a user-requested prod, requested likeso: @Mod: Prod sorasgoof. Any user who goes over 48 hours without posting will be automatically prodded. Users who go 48 hours without responding to a prod will be replaced.
14. If you feel that this game is no longer fun, and is no longer something that you wish to be involved with, you may PM me asking to be replaced. All requests for replacement will be taken seriously, so do not jokingly send me a replacement request. If you are replaced, you are not allowed back into the game you have been dropped from, nor are you allowed to post in the game thread (until endgame).
15. Each game day will have last a maximum of 21 real days. If I feel the need to extend the deadline, I have the power to do so.
16. I reserve all other powers not explicitly stated here for use should the situation call for it.
17. Don't be afraid to ask questions about mafia via PM.
Note: In the event that a player receives two strikes, that player will be either force replaced or modkilled. We want to have fun here, people. Anyone that tries to ruin the game for everyone else does not deserve to be in the game any longer.
