The Ritual of Cleansing Fire
In accordance to the Tenets of the Order of Light, the moment corruption was discovered the Ritual was enforced. By consensus, some of you will be destroyed with Holy Fire before the setting of the sun each day.
During the Day, each player may
Incant
a player. At the beginning of the day, consensus requires every living player; as the day wears on, the number of Incantations required diminishes by one. The threshold will be lowered every three meatworld days, and you will be given ample warning. When the threshold is lowered, a maximum of four players who were one Incantation away from destruction will be killed at that time. If there are more than four such players, those who reached the threshold first will perish.
Incantations must be bolded, e.g.
Incant: Percy
. You may not
"UnIncant", though you may move your Incantation at any time by simply incanting someone else until the Ritual is complete. You may use Vote
instead of Incant
if you prefer.The completion of the Ritual of Cleansing Fire brings on Twilight. No more Incantations will be counted, and those who have been destroyed may make one (non-game-related) post; others may post as usual. Once the thread is locked, the game enters the Night phase, which will last precisely 3 days.
