The Rules
(borrowed from Hoopla and modified)
> Fundamental
1) The
site-wide rules apply, please read them and don't do anything stupid.
2) Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not talk about this game outside of the game thread.
3) Do not quote/screenshot any communication you have with me, the moderator of the game. You may paraphrase things I have sent you (such as a role title, abilities and results) but direct quoting is not allowed.
4) Be courteous to your fellow player. This is just a game - please don't bring any personal grudges in. Lets have fun, okay!
> Voting, Lynching & Death
5) For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form
VOTE: Fenchurch. Using the vote tag is optional but preferred, ultimately I will use my judgement in counting whether a vote is valid or not.
6)
Unvotes
are not necessary, but will be appreciated.
7) A lynch will occur when a player achieves 50% +1 of the votes. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight. Night will begin as soon as I have declared the lynch. The town may opt to 'no lynch' in lieu of lynching a player on any day.
VOTE: No Lynch is the format for this.
8) Once you're dead, you are dead. Do not post in the thread until the game is over, not even a 'bah' post, for real.
> Activity & Deadlines
9) Prods will be issued after 48 hours in a row without posting (weekends count as one day) or under request from players. Multiple prods will probably lead to your replacement.
10) Things come up in life. If you need time off for something, please let myself and the players know in-thread for V/LA purposes. I will be flexible, but if you can't be here for a significant amount of time I will replace you.
11) This game is using bankable deadlines. This means that any unused time from a Day Phase carries over to the next day.
12) Day 1 deadline is set for 21 days, while every Day Phase thereafter is set for 14 days (before adding any banked time).
13) In the event of a deadline ending without a player gaining a majority of votes, there will be no lynch.
14) Nights will have a 72 hour deadline. If you fail to send in a nightaction, you will automatically default to 'no action' for that night, and you will do nothing.
15) In the event of replacements or any other disturbances, I will grant a deadline extension. Laziness isn't an excuse though.
> Miscellaneous
16) Please do not use small/invisible text, stenography or advanced forms of coding/cryptography. Breadcrumbing is an acceptable form of basic coding. Please contact me via PM if you're unsure about where the line is.
17) Any flavour text I write will have no indication of any player's alignment. Feel free to waste your time guessing if you want though.
18) Do not try to exploit any loopholes there may be in this rule-set. I reserve the right to add, remove or modify existing rules at any time. If this happens, I will let everyone know.
19) The game thread will only be open after I have sent all role PMs out. Mafia will have 48 hours to talk in quicktopic once they've picked up their role PMs, regardless of how long confirmations take.
Note: Rule 19 added during confirmations.
