Rules on What is Allowable
[01] This is only a game, and I expect all players to remain somewhat civil (although I understand you are essentially a crazy, lynching mob). I will not accept excessive abuse upon freedom of speech: obscenity, profanity, libel, and fighting words will not be tolerated, and if you push it, the Head Jelly reserves the right to have you replaced. In other words, be respectful to all players, as well as myself.
[02] Do not talk outside of this thread, unless your role PM explicitly says you may do so, and even then, you are restricted to night-time for all out-of-thread conversation.
Even idle talk with non-players is disallowed; breaking of this rule will result in a modkill, and if the infraction is severe enough, the whole game may need to be called.
[03] Do not edit or delete your posts in any way, shape, or form. Once you have posted something, it is there for good, unless I find reason to alter or delete your post myself.
[04] Do not quote your role PMs in any way, shape, or form. You may, however, paraphrase your PM at any time, but if you go too far, the Mod reserves the right to either replace you or to modkill you should the situation warrant.
[05] Do not post in invisible text, excessively small text, or use [ color = black ] tags.
[06] You may request mod-prods, replacements, clarifications, and votecounts from me directly in the thread, but please precede such with a bolded
Mod: So-and-so
so that I will be able to answer you as promptly as possible.
[07] Once I have officially posted that you are dead, then you are dead. Do not post any relevant information to the game whatsoever. You are, however, allowed a typical “Bah!” post of some sort.
[08] No talking during twilight. Such posts may be deleted, and you will be subject to either replacement or modkilling.
[09] Do not question my decisions in-thread: if you have a problem with me, take it to Private Messages. You may, of course, post problems you see with my votecounts, but that’s about as far as I’ll allow things.
[10]
Only the mod or co-mod may post in dark red. The first offense will result in me editing your post. The second offense will result in a replacement or modkill -- the modkill is much more likely if it is clear you were attempting to impersonate the current mod.
[11]
No player may post a "fake" suicide kill, or anything mildly resembling such a kill. Such a player will be modkilled, regardless of alignment or role.
[12]
No player may post a list (real or "fake") of the identity of the Khalifs. This will result in a modkill, and may result in the game being called.
[13] You are allowed to have fun, and in fact, I heartily encourage it! This is a game! Play hard, play fair, and enjoy yourself.
Technical Rules
[01] Each day the town must decide on a lynch. Once a majority has been reached on a player, that player will be lynched, regardless of any subsequent unvoting.
[02] To vote for somebody, please use bold tags. For example,
Vote: PJ.
As you can see, abbreviations – so long as they are intelligible and informative – are allowable.
[03] If you wish to unvote, I would appreciate a formal bold
Unvote: PJ
, although this will not be required.
[04]
Day One has a three week deadline. All subsequent Days have a two week deadline.
[05] If two or more players are tied for the most votes when a deadline hits, and they have garnered the required amount of votes to be lynched under a deadline, the player who reached that number of votes first shall be lynched.
The "required amount of votes" this game is a simple plurality – whoever has the most votes.
[06]
No lynch is not an option. Each day
must
end with a lynch. If no votes are countable, then
everybody is lynched
is hence the town loses and the assassins win.
[07]
There are no Nights. When an assassin is lynched, however, the thread will be locked for a 72-hour period.
[08] If you feel that you may not be able to post in-thread for a period of 48 hours or longer, please say so in-thread and send me a PM as warning. If I find it necessary, I will have you replaced, but I would much rather keep all players who sign up for any of my games.
[09] Any and all of these rules are subject to change at my discretion.
