Rules
(blantantly stolen from Phate)
Game Mechanics
1) 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 (in the format Unvote) before voting another player is appreciated but not mandatory.
2) During the Day phase, players will discuss and vote until a player has been lynched. You can vote for a no-lynch, which will end the Day phase with no lynch, using the format
Vote: No Lynch
; this also requires a majority of votes.
3) Once the vote required to reach a majority for a lynch has been cast, that lynch (or lack thereof) is set in stone. Unvoting will not undo the lynch, and the game will enter the Twilight phase.
4) During the Twilight phase, players (including any player whose lynch has been decided) 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.
5) During the Night phase, you may have special abilities - see your role PM. If actions are not sent in within three days (weekends counting as one day), your action for that night will be forfeit.
Activity
6) Any player who hasn't posted in three days will be prodded. From there, they have another two days to open their prod. After three prods, the player will be replaced. If two days pass, the player will be replaced.
7) If you know you will be inactive for more than a two-day period (weekends counting as one day), please inform me either in thread or by sending me a PM. Posting in the V/LA thread is meaningless because I don't read it.
8) Each day will not have a deadline until a set time has passed in which case, based on activity level and other variables, I will decide a deadline. This deadline can be extended by replacement only. There will be no other exceptions. (If you wish to argue this, PM me. Anything in thread is considered arguable. See rule below.)
Miscellaneous
9) Do not discuss this game outside this thread, unless you have a role which allows this. If you have a role that allows you to discuss this game outside this thread, do so only as the role PM allows you to.
10) Once you're dead, don't post. Period. Not even a "Bah" post.
11)
Blue
is my official moderating color. Don't use it.
12) If you want to get my attention, it helps if you use bold, as in "
MOD
: Can we get a votecount?" For the record, I'll be editing in votecounts at the top of every page.
13) Don't piss me off. This rule was going to be "Don't be an asshole", but being an asshole is sometimes a valid strategy. So then it was going to be "Don't prevent others from enjoying the game", but then I realized that some things that are integral parts of the game (such as losing, or being lynched) are unenjoyable. So then I was unable to clearly define the spirit of this rule, so the closest I can come is "Don't piss me off."
14) If you disagree with a decision I make, I will likely be amenable to discussing it... privately. Don't pollute the thread; send your complaint or request to me via PM.
