STUFF I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW
(I) My job is not to make lawyer-grade loophole-proof rules. Use common sense. Someone is going to die if a vote is disputed because, say, the colon wasn't bolded.
(II) Regardless of what is written here, I may modkill, replace, or take any other action for any reason, or for no reason.
(III) Stuff in the
forum rules and guidelines naturally applies.
(IV) If having an aneurysm will help you win the game, you should probably still avoid it.
SOME OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF
(a) Votes must be emphasized to clearly communicate that you are not simply
referring to
the act of voting. Similarly, make it clear you're addressing me if you need me to respond in the thread.
(b) Unvotes are for when you are
not
placing a new vote.
(c) Tallies will be edited into every 25th post, into any post requesting one, and into a summation on the first page. No homemade votecounts, please.
(d) Days last until I get impatient. Deadlines start a brief voting-only period to determine the lynch. If the deadline fails to produce a lynch, there won't be one.
(e) Nights last about half a week. Abilities have a submission deadline at around a full day before the end of the night phase; missing this deadline generally means you take no action.
(f) You may not do anything to yourself - kill, investigate, protect, track, whatever - except redirect someone else's action onto yourself, unless your role says you can.
(g) Please don't use aggravatingly bright colours like yellow, cyan, or white. I don't care if you use colours I tend to use.
(h) Replacements may happen
without notice
if you can't be bothered to post and I don't know about any trips to Atlantis. Players may request prods if they like.
