Celestial Obligations of Life
(format stolen from Maemuki, who stole it from Hoopla. Inspiration taken and tweaked from Maemuki, who took it from Haylen(who took it from Incognito and Vi))
~
During the Day:
0)
I am the mod, thy god. Disrespect me, you get smited.
0a)
If a problem arises, say so in thread, like
Mod: Maemuki needs a prod
, or
Mod: I should be voting Haylen, not CSL
, etc.
1)
The game is a Day Start.
2)
You must bold your votes as such
Vote: CSL
, please put the vote where I can see it though, at the bottom of the post preferably. If you wish to unvote, it must go something like this:
Unvote: Maemuki
. If you wish to unvote, and immediately vote someone else, it goes like this:
Unvote; Vote: Haylen
. Unvoting isn't required but does make me happy
3)
Each Day will have a deadline of 3 weeks. At deadline, the most popular player is lynched. If a tie occurs, a haiku off will be established. The guidelines will be made known if needed. I may extend the deadline in special circumstances (holidays and so). I may also reduce the deadline by one day each time if activity does not pick up. Don't lurk. Lurking makes me sad. [/end of hypocrisy]
4)
Don't talk during the day privately or you'll be smited.
5)
You may not quote your role PM's or any other communication outside thread, with the mod. You know the drill, you'll be smited.
6)
I don't like cheaters. Anybody who is found to be using invisible text, spoiler tags or anything as such will be smited unless they have an extremely good reason. Not knowing is not a good reason. If you have the power to edit yours or anyone else's posts...don't. You know, smiting.
7)
If you do not post within 72 hours, you will receive a prod. Failure to response to the prod within 72 hrs will result in an automatic replacement. Three prods will result in an automatic replacement as well.
8)
If you don't post for a whole game day, you'll be forcibly replaced.
~
During Twilight:
1)
Votes and unvotes will not be counted after a lynch.
2)
The person lynched may still talk during Twilight.
3)
If I haven't realized it is Twilight within 24 hours, somebody shoot me a PM. I am forgetful, incompetent and very lazy.
4)
Mafia still can't talk during this time.
~
During the Night:
1)
The Night Phase will last 72 hours. I like this number. Any actions that have not been received by then will be forgone. (Night may end early if all actions are received. On this case, if you don't want to use your role's action, please PM me with that information.)
2)
If your role permits it, you may talk to the players I have given you permission to talk to during the night.
3)
Mafia, whoever sends in the kill, don't try and kill your partners, I will not be messed with, and you will be punished.
4)
Don't try and impersonate the mafia by sending me fake action PM's, I will not appreciate it, and I will be very, very angry, and you will be force-replaced.

General Rules
1)
I will not accept insulting behaviour in my games, anybody doing so will receive a nice, well worded warning from me in thread. Further breaking of the rule will receive a harsher punishment, as in, a smite.
2)
, and any kind of
will be my colours. Don't use any kind of
, or
, in your posts, I will count it as impersonating the mod and you will be smited. Sometimes I like to edit your posts; if I do I'll use my colours.
3)
Never talk to anybody outside the game except if your role permits it, and I have told you “you can talk now”.
4)
Don't piss off the mod. You will be smited.
5)
If you think you have found a loophole with my rules, you haven't. I will recognize a loophole breakage and punish you accordingly.
6)
Smitings, aka, Modkills, means I kill you immediately (for breaking the rules) and change your role to Neutral Survivor, meaning you auto-lose. Modkills automatically end the day. Period.
7)
Play to win, just like everyone else. Don't get disheartened if you're lynched or attacked, basically don't take anything personally. If you feel somebody’s behavior has been inappropriate PM me about it and I will deal with it in some form or another.
8)
If you need help, PM me.
9)
If you are dead, you are dead. The mod does not believe in ghosts, and if you post after I post your death scene, you will lose your win condition if you haven’t yet.
10)
Treat this game as a commitment, and be courteous to your fellow players. It will make everybody, including your mod happy. :)
11)
It is my prerogative to change the rules if I deem it necessary, you shall receive a notification in thread and a PM as well to notify you of these changes.
12)
I like receiving PM's, if anybody fancies PMing me for a chat or rant go for it. I can't talk about game specifics though, obviously.
13) Mafia is a game of honor. Cheating is breaking the honor code you committed to when you joined this site, and you will be smited to the highest degree.
14)
Don't use DIAF. Period. It is a mod-sanity rule, as two schoolgirls were killed in a fire back in '08, so don't use it. You will be smited if you use it.
And last, but not least...
