The Rules

• ONE: FUNDAMENTALS
  • All site-wide rules apply. Read and respect them.
    
  • There is no personal communication outside the forum postings (regarding this game) unless your role specifically allows it.
    
  • Do not quote your Role PM or any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, co-moderator, backup-moderator, or fellow players. Paraphrasing your Role PM is acceptable.
    
  • Be courteous and respectful to all your fellow players and the moderating team.
    
  • Play to your Win Condition.
• TWO: DAY PHASE
  • All groups with Private Topics (PTs) will be able to converse during any Day Phases.
    
  • Votes must be in the format of VOTE: PlayerName or
    Vote: PlayerName
    , or they shall not be counted. Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as I can discern who you were voting for without trouble. If I think it should count as a vote, it will.
    
  • Unvoting is not required, but is much appreciated.
    
  • Once you have reached a simple majority (half of all living players plus one) that person's fate is sealed and they shall be eliminated. Unvoting cannot change their fate.
    
  • Once a player is eliminated the game enters twilight until I arrive and post a death scene. All players may continue to post during Twilight.
    
  • Please post at least once every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. If you fail to respond to said prod within 24 hours, you will be replaced.
    
  • If you get three or more prods, or fail to respond to a prod by posting in thread within 24 hours (or by PM if at Night), I will begin seeking for a replacement (this means the third prod functions like a notice that you are racing the search for your replacement.)
    
  • A deadline extension may or may not be granted; just ask.
    
  • Votes and Unvotes shall not count in Twilight.
• THREE: NIGHT PHASE
  • All groups with Private Topics (PTs) will be able to converse during any Night Phases.
    
  • Any role or faction with night abilities may choose to use them by PM-ing the mod with their choice.
    
  • If no action is received, no action will be taken. All actions received after the deadline has passed will not be valid.
• FOUR: CAPITAL OFFENSES
  • Do not quote your Role PM or any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, co-moderator, or backup-moderator. Paraphrasing your Role PM is acceptable.
    
  • There is to be no personal communication outside the forum postings (regarding this game) unless your role specifically allows it.
    
  • The following is a list of outlawed shenanigans:
    • Using invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
      
    • Editing your posts (if you have the power to do so)
      
    • Insulting other players
      
    • Quoting any PTs you may have access to
  • If any of these offences are committed, I have the right to force-replace you from the game, or, with Listmod permission, modkill you.
• FIVE: MISCELLANEOUS
  • This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. This might be the most important rule.
    
  • My mod colour is
    #FFBF00
    ; don't use it.
    
  • Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM Hectic. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.
    
  • I have the final say on any issue.
    
  • I have the right to edit this Ruleset at any time.

For a while, everything is going swimmingly.
However, after some time has passed, the Head Chef,

lendunistus

, notices something...

Food has been going missing from the kitchen!

Kanna

, the royal guard Death Knight, turns to you all, tapping her bucket.

"We're the only ones who have access to this kitchen, which means... there's a thief in our midst!"

[Hectic]

While suspicions get thrown around, the preparations must continue! skitter30 is atop a ladder, attempting to put up decorations along the wall. She just about can't reach the higher parts. Infinity 324 - the 324 being the latest version number of his system model - extends his mechanical legs to reach the higher parts of the walls with ease. skitter30 feels sheepish.

Everyone stares at TheGoldenParadox. His mouth is full of bread. I... brought this bread from home, I swear. No one believes him. Pooky, built like a bear, pushes him outside into the courtyard, where a pristine looking trebuchet awaits in the centre. A set of mutual nods of understanding ring throughout the crowd. This is of course the superior siege weapon of choice. TheGoldenParadox is strapped in, there's nothing he can do to resist. Ydrasse steps up, smiling and twirling her hair. That's what you get for stealing from the kitchen, you rascal. With that, she releases the counterweight, launching TheGoldenParadox off into the distance. He was... Spoiler: Town

The wedding preppers look sheepishly at each other. They supposed it was believable that TheGoldenParadox had just brought the bread in from home... Pooky points his finger at the Stonemason, Hectic. This is all your fault. You could've stopped us but you let it happen. Gloria Cleary nods in support. That's true; who's worse, the person committing the crime, or the ones that just stand by and watch? Ydrasse, Flea The Magician, and Gypyx also join in on the assault. There is not much Hectic can do against the mob.

Hopkirk was seen with berry stains all over his hands. He insisted they'd been wild ones he'd picked outside in the courtyard, but no one believed him. The trebuchet was once again set up, and Hopkirk strapped inside. And for my next trick, I will launch Hopkirk off into space! Flea The Magician released the counterweight, and Hop went zooming off into the distance. He was... Spoiler: Town

[Hectic]

Sorry for the delay. I am compromised, but I shall be back later!

A decision is being made!

[Hectic]

No more food gets stolen in the following days, and then the day of the wedding is upon you! The preparations have gone swimmingly and the people of the two empires seem to be having a grand ole time. Decades of war and strife between the two can finally be put to rest; no wonder everyone's so excited! The wedding preppers dine together on a table, relishing in all of their hard work finally paying off. Gypyx speaks up suddenly, seeming like something's been on his mind for a while. I'm so happy to have worked with you all. It's a little embarrassing but I got you some gifts... they're down in the cellar, I should give them to you now! skitter30 smiles. Aww, you didn't need to do that, Gypyx. Let's go get them then. The group make their way down to the cellar and find Kanna the Death Knight inside. You're not supposed to be down here! You should return to the wedding. Without warning, Dunnstral front flips through the air, his boot meeting Kanna's head and knocking her out in one swift blow. Morning Tweet throws something dark onto the ground and the group is plunged into a thick smoke. When the smoke clears, 4 of you are missing, and the iron doors to the cellars are locked shut... Spoiler: Morning Tweet, skitter30, Gypyx, and Dunnstral were... Conspirators

[Hectic]

The party can't believe it... betrayed by their own friends. They notice a note left on the ground, possibly dropped behind by one of the conspirators. It reveals the following information: There are 6 conspirators in this game. At the start of the game, the 6 of them were told that if any of them die in the first two launches, they will instantly lose. They are not made aware of what is to come after the first two launches. After the second launch and flip, they were told that they must treestump 4 of their own. I inform them that town will know they made this decision and have their circumstances known.

[Hectic]

It takes the group a few hours to break out but once they finally do, the sight that meets them is something to behold. A massacre. The royally betrothed, the guests, the nobles, everyone... dead. The insanity of the situation gets to the remaining preppers. What's to lose at this point... Let's dance! The game continues with 7 players and another launch. At this point, two dances may occur. Dancing players will receive PTs and be protected from the next nightkill. They do not become Lovers. Dance proposals and accepts must be in bold. There will then be a night phase where scum must kill a non-dancing player. With 5 players, the game will continue with regular day and night phases.

The remaining preppers start dancing! team rocket queen, known as jessie, with PookyTheMagicalBear, and Ydrasse with Gloria Cleary. The 4 Conspirators voices are still lingering. Dunnstral and Morning Tweet's words especially echo through their ears, mocking them, playing with them. Are there more amongst them? Eventually they all turn on the magician of the court, Flea The Magician. The trebuchet survived the massacre, and sits pretty in the courtyard. Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from devastation! To unite all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! James! Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Meowth! That's right! While James and Meowth aren't present, the LARPer in Flea can't help themselves, filling in for their lines. The sentiment is understood, and with that, jessie sends Flea flying into the stars.
