Game mechanics

Day

• Days begin with a deadline of
  168 hours
  (7 days).
  
• Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
  • The deadline is reached.
    
  • A majority vote for a single player is achieved.
    
  • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
• Votes should be made via the vote tag. Please include enough of the username to make clear whom you are voting.
  
• When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be
  driven out of town
  (eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  
• If the day reaches deadline without a majority, or if at least half of living players are voting for “No elimination”, the day will end and no one will be driven out of town.
  
• I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  
• When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
  twilight
  . Players, including the condemned, may continue to post during this period.
  
• Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.

Night

• Nights will last
  48 hours
  .
  
• During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.

  48 hours
  of receiving their role PM will be replaced.

• Players who do not post any game-related content for
  24 hours
  following a prod will be replaced.
  
• Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  
• “Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
  
• If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
  in thread
  and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  
• Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
  5 days
  of consecutive day time will be replaced.

This is an emergency broadcast from GBTV. We interrupt your regular programming with some grave news.

Authorities have confirmed the presence of organized criminal elements infiltrating our tranquil community of Greenbridge. A state of emergency has been declared, and the once peaceful streets of our beloved town now bear the weight of uncertainty and fear. Our town leadership urges all good citizens to come together in this critical hour. We must be vigilant, we must be brave, and we must stand together to take back our community. Each one of us has a role to play in rooting out these intruders who threaten our peace.

Stay safe, Greenbridge. We will bring you more updates as the situation unfolds. We now return you to “The Morning Show,” already in progress.

Good evening, Greenbridge. Tonight on our GBTV Evening News Update, our top story: an unsettling turn of events that unfolded in our town today. The growing panic and uncertainty around the Mafia influence in our town reached its crescendo in a shocking display of mob justice, with community coming together to forcibly evict one of our own from their home and, ultimately, the town itself.

Roden

, well-known to many of us, was escorted to the town limits amid cries for justice and accusations of collusion with the Mafia.

A followup investigation revealed the sad truth: Roden was innocent of these accusations. He was not involved with the criminal elements that have infiltrated our town, but was every bit the ordinary denizen he presented himself as. It’s a sobering realization that stirs emotions of regret and grief. Today we lost not just a neighbor, but a fellow defender of Greenbridge.

This marks a dark new chapter in our town's history, one that we never imagined we would have to write. Yet it is also a testament to our town’s extraordinary circumstances and commitment to justice, that ordinary citizens choose to make such drastic decisions.

We urge everyone to stand together in these difficult times. This has been a trying day for us all, but we must remember who we are and what we stand for. Stay safe, Greenbridge. This has been your evening update.

Roden was driven out of town. He was a

Townie

[Umlaut]

Good morning, Greenbridge. This is GBTV with the latest update on the troubling events that have transpired in our beloved town. Last night, our community faced yet another blow. Takutai, a respected part of our community, is no longer among us. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance are still murky, but authorities are working tirelessly to uncover the truth.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Takutai, and we implore our fellow citizens to remain vigilant. Stay safe, Greenbridge, as we continue to weather this storm together. Now, back to our regular programming.

Takutai died last night. They were a

Townie

Good evening, Greenbridge. Tonight on GBTV, the chaos in our town continues as another denizen was driven out of our town by force today, again under popular suspicion of being associated with the Mafia. This evening relative newcomer

camelCasedSnivy

, who had recently moved into the home of well-known former community member Greeting, found himself escorted to the town limits having hardly unpacked his things.

While the GBTV network wishes to state in no uncertain terms that we will not condone mob justice, this story takes a surprising twist as local authorities reported that an investigation of camelCasedSnivy's home did indeed reveal it to be a center of mob activity. Today we must admit that Greenbridge is one step closer to safety than it was yesterday, as the Mafia menace is partially eliminated from our town.

If you have any information on camelCasedSnivy's doings and personal connections, we urge you to come forward. Goodnight and, as always, stay safe.

Good morning. This is GBTV with the latest development in our ongoing crisis. This morning we bid farewell to OopsieDaisy, a beloved member of our community and the latest target of the mob violence plaguing our town. Oopsie was a fine and upstanding private citizen of our community, and today we all mourn her loss together.

As always, we urge our viewers here in Greenbridge to stay safe and to band together in this troubled time. This has been your morning news bulletin.

OopsieDaisy died last night. She was a
