Standard MS Ruleset... a starting point.

[Mr. Flay]

I think #3 is customizable depending on game balance/structure; ditto the replacement rule (#11).

#5 - I like a bah post, but serious penalties for revealing game-based information (cop reveals innocent after death, innocent dies to a falling piano that night, etc)

#6 - I've started using Polotet/DS' plurality voting rule, which requires a certain minimum number of votes for deadline lynch, AND that that total be at least 50% of the total cast votes. This is different from the "more than 50%" rule for regular lynches. I like something explicit about not using deadline lynches at endgame, but that may reveal too much about the setup. Perhaps the mod should have this as an internal rule?

I also think that the rules should explicitly allow twilight posting, for reasons given

here

.

And apparently we need an explicit definition of when "night" begins, as some scum seem to think it starts with the lynching vote, not the death scene/locking of thread.

[Mr. Flay]

I think I based the set I use most often from Werebear... except for Newbie Games, which I rewrote almost entirely to be clearer for new players. But I also frequently change up the rules, and will even ask players to confirm in their confirmation PM that they've read and understood the changes.
