1. Keep it civil (or as civil as you can when you're trying to kill each other ). Don't resort to personal attacks and insults.
2. No talking about the game anywhere other the game thread, unless I have explicitly stated otherwise.
3. No quoting your role PM or any other communication with me. You may paraphrase if necessary.
4. Any of the above may be punished by a modkill and your status changed to neutral survivor, at my discretion.
5. If you have any queries, think I've made a mistake or there's anything else you need clarifying, post in bold in the thread or PM me.


1. Votes must be cast using wrestling move terminology; for example: Piledrive: Porkens. Votes not cast in this way will not be counted.
2. You’re in the heat of battle. You must limit your posts to no longer than 200 words.
3. Double posts, triple posts, etc. and beyond will be deleted. You must wait for someone else to talk before you can post again.
4. You may not use quote tags.
5. Terminology:
Days will be ‘Shows’ – Raw, Smackdown, Royal Rumble, No Way Out, Wrestlemania. Nights will be ‘Backstage’. A lynch is an ‘elimination’; non-lynch kills are ‘injuries’; living players are ‘active’; dead players are ‘inactive’.



1. Shows will have fixed 2-week deadlines.
2. Votes must be bolded and at the start of a line. You may vote No Lynch in the same way.
3. Unvotes are not required but are appreciated.
4. A lynch will occur at n/2 + 1 vote then rounded down, where n is the number of players currently alive. Once an elimination is achieved, votes may not be changed.
5. No majority at deadline means no lynch.
6. Once a majority has been reached, the game enters twilight until I post the lynch scene and lock the thread. You may continue to talk during twilight.



1. The Backstage phase will have 48-hour deadlines. Actions not submitted by the deadline will not be performed. You may change your choice of action as many times as you wish, providing you submit your new choice before the deadline.
2. Backstage actions will be determined by Natural Action Resolution.



1. A post is expected every 48 hours. If you do not post in that time, you will be prodded. I reserve the right to force-replace you after three prods.
2. If you are going to be V/LA for longer than 48 hours, please declare it in the thread in bold. If you have V/LA declared in your sig, please direct me to it by declaring it in the thread. If you wish to declare V/LA at night, PM me.
3. Extensions may be granted in particular circumstances, such as for replacements close to deadline. In that situation, this would be in the form of a 48-hour extension from the time the replacement enters the game. Nights may also be extended to find replacements.



1. The game will start with the Royal Rumble. All 27 superstars are involved in the Royal Rumble match. The match continues until there is only one superstar is left standing. That superstar will become WWF Champion.
2. Each superstar can withstand up to 10 moves. Once a superstar is hit with the tenth move, they are eliminated.
3. Moves are performed in the normal way, but each superstar can only perform two moves every 24 hours. The 24-hour period is counted from 7AM GMT.
4. Superstars can only perform moves during the Rumble; all other abilities are inactive. There is no lynch during the Royal Rumble.
5. Once a champion has been decided, the game will move on to the next show, Monday Night Raw, and proceed from there on with the normal ruleset.
6. If a player is eliminated, they can reassign their moves to another player by posting . That player gets an additional two moves each day per nomination received (maximum 10 moves).



Belts will be randomly assigned at the start of the game, apart from the WWF Title, which will be won at the Royal Rumble. Each of the belts grants a specific ability, and will change hands throughout the game. The details of each are below:

Belt Name: WWF Title

Ability granted to holder: kill immunity

Changes hands: Royal Rumble; by player vote at No Way Out & if champion eliminated during a Show.

Belt Name: Intercontinental Title

Ability granted to holder: boosts existing power

Changes hands: by choice of the champion during the Backstage phase.

Belt Name: Tag Team Titles

Ability granted to holders: talk privately backstage

Changes hands: by choice of the champion during the Backstage phase.

Name: Vince McMahon

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 253 pounds

Hometown: Greenwich, Connecticut

Alignment: WWF

Role: Chairman

Show/Backstage Ability: No Chance - you call the shots in the WWF. Anything you say, goes. That includes firing, hiring, match-making and even getting people to kiss your ass.

Win Condition: you win when all factions trying to take over the WWF are inactive and there is at least one pro-WWF wrestler active.

All role PMs are now out. The game has begun!

Howard Finkel: The following contest is a Last Man Standing match, and is for the WWF Championship!





JR: Here he comes! The most electrifying man in sports entertainment!

King: I'm still trying to recover from that women's title match, JR! Puppies!

JR: I hate to disappoint you, King, but there won't be any puppies in this one, and I don't think this is going to be a catch-as-catch-can classic either. These two men are going to beat the living hell out of each other to get that ten count!



JR: WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS?



JR: By God, this is sickening behaviour! Somebody get up there and help the champion!

King: I bet this is a genius move from Faraday! These morons don't know a master strategist at work when they see one.

JR: Genius? Strategy? It's nothing short of nauseating!



JR: GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! THE WWF CHAMPION JUST GOT TOSSED FIFTEEN FEET OFF THE STAGE!



King: Get down here now, Faraday! The title is yours!



King: Wait a minute...leave our champion-to-be out of this!



JR: DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN! FARADAY RIGHT THROUGH THAT DAMNED WINDSHIELD!

King: I don't get it, JR! Who are these people?



------------



JR: Well folks, things do not look good for The Locke and Faraday. They've both been taken to hospital and their injuries are serious. We'll keep you updated as we find out more.

King: Who's behind this hideous assault, JR?

JR: You didn't think it was so hideous when it was only The Locke getting assaulted. Right now, it's time for the Royal Rumble matchup, with the winner going on to face the WWF champion in the main event at Wrestlemania!

Howard Finkel: The following contest...





JR: Business is about to pick up! Mr McMahon has something to say!



Vince: Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to apologise for the scenes you just witnessed with The Locke and Faraday. We don't know yet exactly how serious the injuries are, but I can say with some certainty that they are going to be out of action for some time.

King: But what about the title?

Vince: As a result, I have had to take an executive decision. Everyone knows you can't have Wrestlemania without a WWF Champion, and that's why, at this time, I have decided...

JR: What? Get to the point!

Vince:...that the winner of the Royal Rumble match will become the new WWF Champion!



JR: Oh my! This is going to be one hell of a Rumble!

Vince: Howard, take it away!



Howard Finkel: The following contest is the Royal Rumble match and it will be for the WWF Championship! Players can only be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and having both feet touch the floor!

how long does this last?
If there's no limit
we should elect a person to get the belt by voting and then very democratically knock everyone else out >_>

Who want to be my tag team partnah?

To repeat a question I asked in the sign-up thread a couple of hours ago...

I'm fine with it Baby though I'm not sure everyone would want to do that.

for using the quote tag. That's even worse than using the flaming two by four wrapped in barbed wire!

Well that's screwed that then.

He knows why.

Would putting something slightly more complex be acceptable?

Baby Spice gets on the top turnbuckle with a jump and raises her fists to the sky holding them together
and leaps toward Locke Lamora quickly lowering them, performing a strong Double Axe Handle!!

I'd prefer something a little clearer; the whole line in bold is probably going to make it difficult for me to quickly pick up who's being hit with the move. If you are going to do that I'd rather you bolded the move and the player only.

Oh, and your post has been fixed, in accordance with the rules

Standard deadline is two weeks. If people let it last to deadline then I'll give it to the person who has the most health remaining. It shouldn't take anywhere near that long if people use their moves regularly, though.

Can I just clarify whats the difference between performing a move on someone o damage their health points and performing a move for a vote?

Wont do it that way then Locke.

Snake, I suspect it's because we can't vote during the rumble.





Gods I miss watching Eddie.

There is no lynch today. Think of it as a mini-game within the overall game just to decide the champion, and also for people to get used to the rules.

I am town this game, therefore, we should give me the belt. I think I'm quite useful as an asset to town, and NK-immunity on me is going to drive fear into the heart of the scums. Of course, you have no proof of my towniness yet, but I'll simply say give me a week and you will see it. In the meantime, we should knock out people we obviously do not want to have NK-immunity.



No offense to you two, but you're not people I want in endgame for the town.

(i.e. can someone trick-vote by having their "Move: Target" vote being the 201 & 202 words in a post?)

---

Double posts for the loss. Tsk tsk.
Double moves for the win. Horray!

As I said before I double posted, it takes 10 moves to knock someone out and everyone gets two moves per day. I suggest we focus our moves on people we definitely do not want in endgame as town first, then work our way through the list.

Also, AV, I think that was really dumb. Knock out people that stink at endgame first.

VPB is probably right about the championship.
But what worries me is that the scum faction must have a fair degree of control over who gets it, just from the ability to co-ordinate.

Still, ...



Definately someone I don't want to have an imunity.

I think there'll be plenty of people willing to follow your plan, VPB.

There's a few people here I wouldn't want.

Nero grabs a .

He picks him back up and .

TL;DR version.



Also guys, titles change hands through the shows.

I like VP's plan.
