Rules:
1) Mod is God.
-God is all powerful.
-If you wish to argue/point something out, do so by PM (with the exception of faulty votecounts).
-Posting during "Twilight" is allowed, but normal posting rules still apply.
2) Voting.
-Votes must be bolded, followed by the player name. For example,
Vote: Amished
-Unvotes must be bolded, but are NOT needed to vote someone else. Player names are not required. For example,
unvote
-Votecounts will be posted as often as I can, hopefully one every page.
-Lynches will occur when half + one of the total remaining players has been accumulated on one player. Unvotes will not prevent a lynch after the required number of votes has been reached.
-Hammering, then unvoting in the same post will have your vote counted immediately, with the unvote not taken into effect.
3) Deadlines.
-Day deadlines are 4 weeks for the first 3 game days, 3 weeks for the remainder of the game.
-Night deadlines are always three (3) days.
-Deadlines are always at 6:00 GMT (That's 1:00 EST, or 22:00 PST)
-Deadlines dates are for my own timezone (CST) - so the 6:00 GMT is really the day after what I have posted.
-Deadlines are flexible by up to one day, depending when I can get on. The deadline does not officially occur until I post the end of they day lynch (or no-lynch) scene.
-When a deadline is reached with no majority of votes, a no-lynch occurs.
-Extensions can be requested, and will be given based on the situation.
4) Prods, Replacements, and Inactivity.
-Throughout the game, not posting for three days gets a prod, unless the player makes note of the inactivity ahead of time (
bolded
).
-Three prods gets a player replaced, unless no replacements are available.
-Replacement order is flexible. Unless requested otherwise, inactive players will be replaced in order of who made it to the replacement list first.
5) Outside the Game Topic.
-No discussing outside the game topic, unless I specifically tell you to.
-No discussing ongoing games that anybody in this game is alive in. You can still discuss games that have ended or one that doesn't contain players from this game.
6) Sportsmanship.
-You signed up to play. Play to win, don't ruin the game for others.
-Games are for fun. Have fun, don't be a jerk please.
-Speak English please.
-Don't try to outguess the mod - you'll always guess wrong.
-You know the rules. If I forgot anything, please say something. Intentionally using the lack of a rule I may have forgotten to your advantage (aka - a loophole) is an auto-modkill. Again, play fair.
7) Misc.
-No special text, other than bold or italicized text, is allowed. This means no colors, size changes, or anything of the sort.
-Blue is my color. Using this one is worse than using any other color.
-If you have the ability to edit posts, please DON'T.
-After you die, you may only have 1 "Bah" post that contains no game relevant information.
8) Punishment
-Warnings for minor infractions, Modkills for major infractions.
-Two warnings is a modkill.
-Warnings/modkills are non-debatable.
-Warnings/modkills are given based on the situation.
Make note of the Order of Operations for night actions:
1. Roleblocks
2. Kills
3. Other
4. Investigations
Also, the town win condition, which is generic: Town wins when all threats to the town are gone.
Here is a sample Vanilla townie role PM:

You have no abilities other than your ability to think, talk and vote.
You win when all threats to the town are gone.

--editted Unvoting rule, votecount {editting -> my own post} and discussing outside game rule, 11/11/09--
I'm going on a crusade to put more thought into my posts.
No, my name is not "Ed."
I can't express how refreshing this is.
