GAME RULES (amended from Porochaz's rules who blatantly stole and ammended them off MichaelSableHeart who may or may not have stolen them from elsewhere)
General
01. This is a game, it's supposed to be fun. Make sure you have fun, but please don't ruin the fun of others.
02. Players are required to know the rules. Whenever a rolepm contradicts the rules, the rolepm applies. Because of this, players are also required to read their rolepm.
To prove that they have read it, they will have to confirm by PM with the name of their role, you have not confirmed if this does not happen and will still be liable to being replaced if this does not happen even if you are posting in thread.
03. Any major questions to the mod should be asked through pm. Minor questions in the game thread. Please bold questions.
04. The mod is only human, and can make mistakes. If you believe you've spotted a mistake by the mod, please let him know.
05. The mod reserves the right to act in the way he deems best for the game. In exceptional circumstances, he could take actions that actually contradict these rules.
06. Only the mod and players who are alive in the game are allowed to post in the game thread. Bah Posts are allowed as long as they consist
only
of the words "Bah, Go [alignment]"
07. It is not allowed to talk about this game outside of the game thread, except with the mod. This includes talking with people who aren't in the game!
08. It is also not allowed to use coding, small or invisible text to hide information in your messages inside the thread.
09. Do not quote any private conversations with the mod inside the thread. Do not discuss formatting of such conversations either.
10. Not posting is unacceptable. Players are expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you are unable to do so, please inform us through the Vacation/Limited Access thread. If you do not post for 48-72 hours without prior informing, you will receive a prod. Not posting for 24 hours after that, or being prodded too much will result in a replacement.
11. Players are not allowed to edit or delete posts they made in the game thread.
12. Any action that is illegal to do, is also illegal to fake.
The rules of Mafia
13. The game of mafia consists of days and nights. This game starts with day. During the day, the thread is open for posting, during the night the thread is closed.
14. In the game, players can die. A player has died (and should therefore stop posting) as soon as the mod has posted that that player died. Dead players can still win. Dead players can't use any abilities they have.
15. Each day, the players vote on someone to lynch. A lynched player will die. For convenience of the mod and other players, voting should be done in the format Vote: Player Name. Votes can be withdrawn by unvoting, in the format Unvote: Player Name. A vote or unvote will be counted if, after reading the post, the mod believes there was intent to vote.
16. As soon as a mayority of votes (more then half the number of votes) agrees on a person to lynch, that decision stands. Vote changes after that will no longer be counted.
17. It is also possible to decide not to lynch anyone. Votes for this decision should read Vote: No Lynch. It requires a mayority of votes for a no lynch to take place.
18. Each game day will last until the mod posts that the day has ended. This happens if the players have made a decision on a lynch, or when the deadline hits, whichever comes first. Each day, deadline hits after 3 weeks. If no decission has been made at deadline, then it takes half the amount of votes to lynch, if there is a tie above the limit then the one who reached the limit first will be lynched, if noone is at the limit, there will be no lynch.
19. Likewise each night will last until the mod posts that the night ends. A night lasts at least 48 hours. If a player has a nightchoice, their rolepm tells what happens if they do not send it in during the night.
20. The game ends as soon as anyone has fullfilled his or her win condition, or if there have been three day/night (or night/day) cycles without a death, or if everyone has died.
21. At the end of the game, all players who have fullfilled their wincondition win, and all players who haven't fullfilled their wincondition don't win.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.
