Rules:
1. This is a game. Play to win, but also to have fun.
2. Votes must be in
bold
for them to count, like this:
Vote: saberwolf.
Unvoting is not necessary, but your fellow players will appreciate it.
2a. You may, if you so choose, vote by proxy.
3. Vote counts will be as close to the top of the page as I can put them.
4. I may be God, but I am not infallible. If I make a mistake, please tell me.
5. While the game is going on, do not discuss it except when and where I specifically allow you to.
5a. I post QuickTopics after the game. Take that into account when deciding what to write in one.
6. Similarly, do not quote private mod-player communications. You may paraphrase, though. If you're not sure if it crosses the line, run it by me.
7. Days will be deadlined at two weeks. Except for replacements, these are non-negotiable. At deadline, half of a majority will be required to lynch.
There will be no reduced number of votes when there are 7 or fewer players.
8. V/LA: If it's in-thread, I'll see it. If it's in your sig, I'll see it. If you send me a PM, I'll see it, and I'll post it in-thread. If it's in the V/LA thread, I'll probably miss it.
If I don't know about it, it’s your fault.
If it’s too long, I'll ask for you to find your own replacement. (You may talk with your replacement before you have to leave.)
9. Prods will go out after 48 hours without a post (unless the player is on V/LA). The proddee will then have 48 hours to post in thread or they will be replaced. If you post before I get around to handing out the prod, you avoid the prod; similarly, if you return before I find a replacement, you can stay in the game. Prod #3 will equal replacement.
10. If enough players are voting for No Lynch to make any other majority impossible, the day will end in No Lynch.
11. When a lynch is reached, the game will enter twilight until I come to lock the thread.
All players alive during that day may talk during twilight,
but don't expect it to be particularly long.
12. Nights will last approximately 48 hours.
13. If you die, stop posting until after the game is over. You are allowed one "bah" post provided it contains no game-related content (something like "Go town!" is acceptable; something like "My tracking results were X and Y" is not).
14. If, for whatever reason, I decide to edit your post, it will be in
. Don’t use that style.
15. Anything that would be illegal to actually do is also illegal to fake.
16. If I find that I've left something off, or that something needs clarification, I reserve the right to update these rules. I will tell you if/when that happens.
A vanilla townie PM looks like this:
Sample PM: Mandarins, Vanilla Townie wrote:If this were a real PM, there would be flavor text here.
Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,
Player
. You are the
Mandarins
, an entertaining, family-friendly corps that really has no business being in an environment where you need to actually kill people.
You are a
Vanilla Townie
. You have no special abilities.
You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.
Confirm in-thread.
A town power role PM looks like this:
Sample PM: Pioneer, Townie Roleblocker wrote:No, I'm not going to bother writing flavor text for a sample PM.
Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,
Player
. You are
Pioneer
, a corps with a strong Irish heritage. And of course getting drunk every night will help you out with the situation you're now in... right?
You are a
Townie Roleblocker
. You have the following special ability:
Spirit of the Pioneer:
Each night, you may take a player with you to the nearest bar as a drinking buddy. That player will be unable to perform any night actions they might otherwise have.
You win when all other factions are dead, or nothing can prevent this from happening.
Confirm in-thread.
Discretion is the better part of valor.
If I helped lynch you, you deserved it.
Retired from playing for the foreseeable future.
