1) This is a game. HAVE FUN.
2) I, as Your Moderator, have final say in everything. If I make a mistake, please send me a PM to discuss it. Votecount errors can be pointed out in the thread.
3) Anything in the thread that should draw my attention should be bolded, thus:
@Mod, blah blah blah.
4) You may not talk about this game outside of this thread; exceptions are only when your Role PM allows it.
5)
is my color. Do not use it, under penalty of Impersonating The Mod (which is modkillable; don't make me do it).
6) Posting in other colors is allowed, and in fact encouraged. I like colorful games.
7) Do not quote your Role PM or any other PM from Me. Likewise, do not quote from any outside communication.
8) Do not post in invisible text or tiny text. If I have to "Quote" your post to be able to read what you made small, I will Not Be Happy.
9) I will post votecounts no more often than once per page, or once per real-life day, whichever is less. If there's been a burst of activity, and I've not posted a votecount, feel free to send me a PM.
10) If you somehow have the ability to edit your post, do not. I will modkill you. Dead. Worse than Dead. Your faction will suffer. I am Evil when crossed. Be warned.
10a) Flavor is flavor. Parts is parts. Nothing in the flavor reflects Actual Game Mechanics. You are free to ignore the flavor (except, of course, that you'll hurt my feelings; I expect to spend a good deal of time creating flavor, and I think you should at least read it. However, it has no bearing on the game. At all.)
11) Rule Eleven no longer applies, and I am too lazy to renumber everything hence.
12) I do not (always) automagically prod players. If you would like a prod sent, ask in-thread. Prods will be sent after 48 hours of inactivity.
13) If you are prodded: You must respond in-thread within 48 hours or you will be replaced. If you require a second prod, you will only have 24 hours to respond before a replacement is searched for. If you require a third prod, you are subject to replacement without notice or warning.
14) If you are one of those annoying players that INSISTS ON USING CAPSLOCK, you have automatically lost a brownie point. No, I'm not telling you what will happen, as it completely depends on my mood and exactly how annoying you are. (There will be no modkills strictly for using capslock. But don't push it.)
15)
Votes
MUST be
bolded
and MUST be at the beginning of the line that they are on (flush left, if that makes it clearer). (The use of the newfangled
VOTE: tag is also acceptable.)
16) Notwithstanding Rule #15, if I think it's a Vote, it's a Vote. Be very clear of your intentions.
Deadlines and actions and such
17) Days will have a two week deadline; extensions will rarely be granted, and then only in extenuating circumstances.
18) If activity severely lags, I may or may not institute a shorter Day deadline. You will have at least 72 hours notice should this happen.
19) Night deadlines will be at least 72 hours. Do not ask for a shorter (or longer) night phase.
20) No-lynch requires a simple majority.
21) If the required number of votes is not reached by deadline, there will be NO LYNCH.
22) Lynching requires a true majority of votes from the living players. Every votecount will have the number alive and the number required to lynch.
23) Once a lynch has been reached and it is Twilight, everyone may talk until I post the death scene and lock the thread.
23a) SPECIAL NOTE for Double Day Unlimited: Once the first lynch of any Day phase has been reached, Day continues on until a second lynch is reached. The first lynchee will be flipped in the next votecount.
24) If you are night-killed, you are allowed one "Bah!"-type post. No game-relevant content allowed.
25) I reserve the right to modify these rules if necessary. Any rule changes during the course of the game will be clearly announced in the thread.
26) Do not tempt The Mod. Do not annoy The Mod. Do not get The Mod wet, nor feed The Mod after midnight.
27) Do not admit to not having read The Rules. I get very, very upset about this. The rules are here for a reason. Read them, follow them, know them.
28) Remember to have fun. After all, that's why we're here, isn't it?
