Rules (borrowed from somestrangeflea(modified some))
General
If you disagree with something the mod has done, or have a question about the game, feel free to PM.
Do not quote your role PMs to prove your innocence. Paraphrasing is acceptable, and if you are uncertain as to what is acceptable, PM me to check. Violators will be modkilled.
A majority of the votes is required to lynch a player. Votes are made in the format
Vote: Playername
. Votes that are not in this format will not count.
Unvoting before voting a different player is optional.
Do not discuss this game outside this thread, unless you have a role which allows this, and even then, only at night and only with the designated players.
If you're dead, you're dead, and since the dead aren't alive, you're dead. Stop posting. Players are allowed a single "Bah!" post, but not until the next day phase has begun.
If you have moderating powers in this forum, do not edit or delete the posts of either yourself or another player. If you are caught, you will be modkilled.
Blue is, officially, my color.
Have fun! If you aren't having fun, I want to know why, and if you're stopping others from having fun, then you'll be dealt with, most likely by forced replacement, if you're sucking large amounts of fun out of the game. Don't take the game personally, and don't flame other players.
Day, Night, Twilight and Daybreak
During the Day phase, players will discuss and vote until a player has been lynched. You can vote for there to be No-Lynch, but this also requires a majority of votes.
Once the vote required to reach a majority has been cast, that person is dead. Unvoting will not undo the lynch, and the game will enter the Twilight Zone phase.
During the Twilight phase, players are still allowed to discuss, but votes will be ignored. The Twilight phase has an indeterminate length of time, as it is simply the length of time between the actual lynching vote, and the death scene/thread lock. The game then proceeds to the Night phase.
During the Night phase, any players who have powers which can be used at night can use their powers. This includes, but is not limited to, Mafia sending in their kill. The night phase has a deadline for actions, normally of around 3 real-life days. If no choice is sent in no action will be taken.
Daybreak follows Night, and is simply the period between the Nightchoice deadline and the thread being opened for Day to begin. Nightprods are sent during this time, and any choices sent during this time will be ignored.
Inactivity, Prods and Deadlines
Lurking is allowed as a strategy in this game but I expect everyone to post at least every other day. Any player who becomes inactive will be prodded after 2 days (weekends counting as 1), and will be replaced if there are no posts after 5 days of inactivity (weekends counting as 1).
If you anticipate on being unavailable for more than a 2 day period (weekends counting as 1), then please inform us, either in thread, or by sending me a PM. Posting in the V/LA thread will not save you. Generally, absences of less than a week will be allowed, however longer absences will require a replacement.
If the thread activity falls too low, a retractable deadline will be set. The deadline will be retracted if activity picks up. If the day lasts too long (and I am the sole judge of what is "too long"), a non-retractable deadline will be set. When the deadline hits, the player with the most votes will be lynched, provided that player has gained a "majority majority" of the votes (ie. 5 votes with 18 alive). If there is a tie, then votes will be removed in the order in which they were placed, starting with the most recent vote, until one player has the most votes. That player will then be lynched.
