Game Rules:

(Taken and modified from Uite)

General Gameplay:

1. In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
2. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
   
3. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – please don't leave us hanging!
   
4. Prods of missing players will be issued after 72 hours of no activity. Also, players may request a prod on another player after 48 hours. Any player who fails to post in-thread within 24 hours of being prodded may be replaced. If the game turns to night before you can respond to your prod, PM me letting me know you still want to play.
   
5. No prods will be issued during Night
   
6. A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
   
7. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
   
8. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to me immeditely.

During the Day:

1. Each Day will have a three-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
   
2. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
   
3. Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
   
4. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post except the lynched player.
   
5. Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
6. Votes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player).
   
7. Vote revocations should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. UNVOTE: Player or
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes, but are appreciated.
   
8. You may VOTE: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
9. Votes/Unvotes should be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
   
10. Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
    
11. Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page. Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

During the Night:

1. Each Night will have a 72-hour deadline. Extensions will not be given, unless a player has to be replaced during the Night.
   
2. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
   
3. If you expect not to be here to submit your night action during the night, you may send one in in advance.
   
4. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
   
5. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).

Miscellaneous:

1. Please bold all requests to myself so that they don’t get missed.
   
   
2. I will use
   this color (dark red).
   Please try to refrain from using it, as it could be seen as impersonating the mod or just confuse people.
   
3. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if you can't read it, don't post it).
   
4. You are not allowed to edit your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
   
5. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
6. I may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
   
7. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill, as the Mod sees fit. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night and the offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
   - Just know, it's all about intention. If you genuinely mess up, I'll try to cut you some slack. If I determine you're trying to compromise the integrity of the game though, you won't be too happy with the punishment.
   
8. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to my discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
   
9. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time, so long as I inform you in thread.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other!

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding BobbyDrakeIceman, princesskdw, malpascp, and Collyer.

[SigmaEXE003]

Extending time of inactivity before a prod is issued to 72 hours. I feel it's more fair. You may still request a prod on someone if they've been gone for 48 hours.

[SigmaEXE003]

Seeking replacements for BobbyDrakeIceman and malpascp, as neither of them have responded to their prods.

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding princesskdw (again) and bv310. Come on people, this is a game.

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding Collyer...

[SigmaEXE003]

Replacing princesskdw...

[SigmaEXE003]

And Cav replaces malpascp! Please welcome him to the game.

Is there a reason why the vote count went in my post?

Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page. Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

[SigmaEXE003]

And Shinki replaces BobbyDrakeIceman. Please welcome her to the game.

[SigmaEXE003]

And Fakinha replaces princesskdw. Please welcome him to the game.

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding bv310.

  Mod scene coming up.

[SigmaEXE003]

Discussion was light the first day, with many suspicions being cast over small details and contradictions. However, no one could get over the fact that there was one guy in the background who wouldn't shut up, but in all his talking, contributed very little. You all decided he was the best lynch for the day.

As you all gathered around Pinkfloyd, rope in hand, he gave his last words. "Lighten up."

Pinkfloyd

was lynched. He was a

Vanilla Townie.

The deadline for night actions is Friday, October 7th, 12:00PM UTC.

[SigmaEXE003]

You all gather around the town square, hoping the night gave you a clear head to lynch scum. Unfortunately, when you arrive, you find Cav lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Next to it, in the same blood you find a message.

"This is just the beginning."

Cav

has been killed. He was a

Vanilla Townie.

@MOD:

You should send a private message to people at the start of the day to let people know the day has started. I never got a pm.

Suggestion noted.

[SigmaEXE003]

Apologies for my absence. Things came up. I am back and I promise it won't happen again.

[SigmaEXE003]

Anyway, Shinki requested replacement ages ago.

I'll be issuing a mass prod, and hopefully you guys want to continue this game. If not, I understand, and I'll respect that.

[SigmaEXE003]

And DeltaWave replaces Shinki. Please welcome him to the game.

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding bv310 and Collyer.

[SigmaEXE003]

Prodding Collyer (again), but seeing as how this is his third prod, I'll also start looking for a replacement immediately.

Deadline's in 5 days, people.

[SigmaEXE003]

Just a friendly reminder, deadline's in a day. Also, I'll be gone this weekend for marching band finals. What this means for you is, at worst, the day might start a little later than usual. Nothing to worry about. While I'm here...

  Mod scene coming up.

[SigmaEXE003]

The two dead men virtually ignored, discussion day 2 centered around one person. Neil.

The one who carried out the lynching of the annoying guy who no one remembers. The one who asked questions, but then didn't give an opportunity for them to be answered. The one whose only defense was "Hey guys, I'm town. You're stupid to lynch me."

Or, so I heard, anyway...

The town decided he would be the one to eat rope today. They approached him. As they were doing the deed, he cried out to the people standing on the sidelines. "Don't fall into this trap!"

neil1113

was lynched. He was a

Vanilla Townie

Deadline for night actions is Tuesday, November 1st, 12:00AM UTC

[SigmaEXE003]

The town woke up the next morning, ready to lynch scum. Unfortunately, as expected, there was a dead body lying on the ground. The beloved Collyer, a seasoned investigator, was an easy target, an old man. In fact, the whole scene was in black and white.

Don't ask me how that happened.

Collyer

was killed. He was the

Town Tracker.

Prodding bv310, and also immediately seeking his replacement.

[SigmaEXE003]

And HermanoBro replaces bv310. Please welcome him to the game.

[SigmaEXE003]

Apologies for my (second) disappearance. Real life hates me.

Anyway, if you couldn't tell, Isa and Thomas were the scum, bv310/HermanoBro was the watcher, and Collyer the tracker.

Here's the barely used Dead QT, for any interested.

Now, as a first time mod, I'd like to ask you, aside from my activity (I'm fully aware of my need for improvement there), any comments on my modding? Anything I did well? Anything I need to improve on? Any commentary would be appreciated.
