You live in what was a peaceful community. There are only twelve of you left since the murders began. You know that the killers are amongst you. The only possible solution . . . lynch a fellow resident every day until the mafia are extinct and you control your town again. That is . . . unless you make too many mistakes and you give the town to the mafia scum.
Game setup (if applicable) and role assignment (always) are randomized.
Do not try to hide information within your posts by using same-colored background and foreground ("invisible") text or similar means.
Do not use any colors in your posts. I reserve all colored text for myself. (EXCEPTION: In Newbie games, the IC
must
chose a color to post IC duty related text.)
Unless your role PM allows it, do not talk outside the thread; if it does, you may only do so when permitted.
You may never quote anything you received in a PM from me.
Night action choices are due to me via PM by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice by the posted deadline you will forfeit your action(s). (EXCEPTION: Compulsive actions will be randomized.)
If you think the rules have holes, please let me know.
If you are unsure whether what you're trying to do is allowed or not, please PM me.
ICs must adhere to these guidelines at all times during Newbie games.
Do not edit any posts.
I will only edit your posts upon your request to me via PM in order to correct quote tags.
Once all players have confirmed in thread (naming his/her favorite animal -- to ensure that you've read these rules), the game may begin.
Voting
A proper vote must be bolded, include the word "vote", and a
clearly discernable
version of the username of the votee. (GOOD:
vote HowardRoark
/ BAD:
vote architect
)
If you want to remove your vote, use a bolded "unvote". (EXAMPLE:
unvote
)
Unvotes are
maditory
when changing votes.
You may
vote no lynch
, if you so desire.
A majority vote count of
(0.5 x PLAYERS_ALIVE) + 1
with the fraction truncated
is needed to lynch. (EXAMPLE: (0.5 x 9) + 1 = 4.5 +1 = 5.5 = 5)
A non-majority vote count results in a "no lynch" occurring.
With vote counts posted regularly, everyone should know when the majority has been reached.
Once a majority vote occurs, the game is in twilight until I post the death scene and night begins. The lynchee may not post during twilight.
All living players may continue to post during twilight.
If you're dead, you may not post at all. That includes any type of "BAH" post.
Deadlines
All game days will be deadlined to
2.5 x PLAYERS_ALIVE
. (EXAMPLE: 2.5 x 12 = 30)
A deadline counter will be posted at the beginning of each day and in all vote count posts. (EXAMPLE: countdown timer)
If a game day ends before the deadline is reached, half of the remaining days will be added to the following game day.
Majority and non-majority vote count lynching rules still aplly.
Night phase will last 72 hours (3 days).
Participation
You must post at least once every three days.
I will prod you if you don't comply.
I will announce prods in the thread.
You will have to respond to the prod by posting in the thread.
If you do not respond to the prod within 24 hours, I will replace you.
I will not prod you a third time; you will be replaced and you may no longer post in the thread.
The "Post Reply" page has a "Preview" button, please use it.
It would be greatly appreciated that all players participate in an after game discussion.
Information
I will post a vote count as often as I deem necessary. This will include the number of votes needed to lynch and the deadline counter.
The first post will contain game phase, player status, and links to posts marking the end of each phase.
