Game Rules (Shamelessly stolen from Vel-Rahn Koon):

General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. This is an open game. All role basic PMs will be provided in thread.
   
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
   
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
   
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
   
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
   
6. In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
7. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
   
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
   
3. Please submit votes as:
   Vote: PlayerName
   .
   Votes will NOT be counted otherwise!
   
   
4. Please submit vote revocations as either
   UnVote: PlayerName
   or
   Unvote
   . Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
   
5. You may
   Vote: No Lynch
   - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
6. At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch. In the case of a tie, the person who first received the required number of votes will be lynched. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur.
   There will be no reduced number of votes in LyLo.
   
   
7. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; the lynched player may not post during twilight but all other living players may continue to post.
   
8. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1. Red
   or
   Indigo
   text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed.
   
2. Votecounts will be posted once per page or once per day, whichever is less.
   
3. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
4. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
   
5. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
   
   
6. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or after 4 days of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement.
   
7. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night.
   
8. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
   Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

Because the V is right next to the C

[SensFan]

malpascp, what does rolling a die (or, even worse, claiming to roll a die) add to this game?
Do you think there's any importance in the fact he is now trying to shake any responsibility for his vote?
Why did you vote Col.C for that, and not me, when I did the same thing first?

Are you actually a Scout? If so, where?

[malpascp]

Its a joke
I had to vote someone

And yes Im a scout, from Portugal

[animorpherv1]

Soeme people need the RVS to be worth something in the overall game. I've ran into that. I don't think it's worth voting for, personally.

because random does mean to have no meaning. Rolling a dice is random, and my vote technially is not, as I gave a reason.

No, it's supposed to be 'random' (read: arbitrary). By actually voting randomly (or claiming to be, which is even worse), you attempt to remove responsibility of your vote from yourself.

My vote stands.

[ConfidAnon]

Your OMGUS has given my vote merit.

As I clearly don't understand why the random voting stage needs some reason, inform us farther, please.

[SensFan]

Look up my past games, I jump all over anyone who tries to slide by without placing an arbitrary vote.

ani, Town go into the RVS with no information, and so place a truly 'random' vote, in the sense they have no clue who the Hell to vote for. Unless its a policy vote of some sort, which also gives information.
Scum go into the RVS having to make a decision of whether or not to vote a scumbuddy. This can be good information. By truly randomizing a vote, they can get out of having to make that decision.

[Lab Mafia]

Well been a while since i last played so the game is


The town wins when all mafia are dead
and the mafia win when they equal half the town and 2 mafia groups would probably = one group having to be dead before the other can win
