Rules:
This ruleset was adapted from Cicero's ruleset, which in turn was adapted from Stoofer's Ruleset. Changes were made, so read the rules carefully.
[00] THIS IS A GAME. Mafia is a game which involves lies and deceit and killing people at night. Still, be civil. Personal attacks and abusive posts may lead to replacement and/or modkilling.
[01] VOTING METHOD: Votes must be in bold. Example:
Vote: Cicero
. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted. Please be attentive and Unvote before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
[02] LYNCH: Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, unvoting will no longer be possible. After the lynch, and before I lock the thread, players may still talk freely.
[03] NO LYNCH: You may also
vote: no lynch
. A majority of no lynch votes is necessary to end the day without a death.
[04] DEADLINE: This game has an automatic deadline of 3 weeks per game day. Deadlines extension may be requested to the mod, and they may be denied.
[05] DEADLINE LYNCH RULES: If no majority is reached before the deadline, No Lynch will occur. Night will begin.
[06] NIGHT CHOICES: Nights will have a 72 hour deadline. Players with night actions should PM me their night choices before this deadline is up. If you fail to send me your PM, your action will not take place. While the mafia have a separate thread for talking, they must still send me their official night action choices by PM.
[07] OUT OF THREAD COMMUNICATION: The game is not to be discussed outside the thread. Scum night talk must take place in the secret thread linked in their role PM only.
[08] LURKING AND NOT POSTING: Players who have not posted in 72 hours will be officially prodded. Prodded players must respond in the thread. A player who does not respond in 24 hours risks replacement. Lurking as an strategy is not acceptable (see below, though).
[09] VACATION? LIMITED ACCESS? If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in this game thread - this will relax the prodding rules during your unexpected busy period. That said, be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[10] BAH POSTS ARE ALLOWED: Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. However, since I love Bah post you may absolutely make one "Bah" post. It should be short and should contain absolutely no game related opinion or information. Example: "Bah! Go Town!"
[11] FALLIBILITY CLAUSE: Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me -- otherwise your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.
[12] QUESTIONS: If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread. Any Mod communication (questions, prod requests) must be made in bold - I will not interfere in the thread otherwise.

I use this color for official mod announcements. Don't use it, please.
