General Game Rules:
The Rules (borrowed from vollkan, JordanA24, Wizardcat & Stoofer with some alterations):
1: This is a game, have fun.
2: Please bold your votes. For example,
Vote: RandomPerson
. Votes that are not bolded will not be counted.
3: If you wish to change your vote, bold an unvote before casting your new vote. For example,
Unvote, Vote: ScummyPerson
. If you do not unvote in this format, your vote will not be counted.
4: Lynching will require a majority of the votes. Once a lynch is decided, the decision is final. Feel free to continue posting until the thread is locked, but unvoting before I check the thread will not prevent the player from being lynched.
5: You may
Vote: No Lynch
to decide to not lynch someone on a given day. No-lynching requires 50% or more of the votes, thus on days with an even number of players it will take one less vote to No Lynch than to lynch.
6: If you get lynched or killed, you are dead. A single “Bah” post with NO other content is allowed.
7: Any questions, concerns, desires for me to prod, whatever PM me for best results.
8: Never quote anything that I PM to you, unless express permission is granted. This will result in a modkill.
9: Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate of me and your fellow players.
10: No small or invisible text, editing of your posts, codes, etc.
11: Do not discuss this game outside the thread at any time, except if and when your role specifically allows you to do so.
12: You must confirm your role to me by PM.
13: If you do not post for 3 days without notifying me that you will be away, you will be prodded. Not posting within 48 hours of the prod or getting prodded more than 3 times may result in replacement.
14: Each day will have an automatic deadline of 3*(number of players) days limited to the range of 35 to 14 days. I may extend it in very special circumstances.
15: If a majority is not reached by deadline, the person with the highest number of votes
as long as it is more than one
will be lynched. In the case of a tie, I will rollback votes and unvotes until one player has more votes. The person who would be lynched if deadline were to reach with no changes will be indicated in votecounts with
red font
.
16:
is my color. Don't use it.
17: I am usually not around over weekends. If something should come up over this time please be patient. I will alter deadlines in favor of extension should they be scheduled to fall on a weekend.
18:The Mod is not God. He/She may make mistakes. Please point out any mistakes and they will be corrected where possible. Sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed, and these will stand as final, to be commeserated over after the game.
19. This ruleset may be incomplete. If you spot an obvious loophole, don't be a jerk - PM me and point it out. If the Mod discovers an oversight, or feels a player is doing something that, while technically within the rules, is against the spirit of the game, the Mod may add to these rules and inform/warn the players affected as appropriate.
20. If for some reason I should disappear of the face of the Earth, Dead Rikimaru is your back-up mod. Contact him in the event of my departure (and maybe the authorities).
Game Specific Rules:
1. The Pre-Game will be divided into two distinct Phases which will be described in more detail as they come up, the Drafting Phase and the Role Assignment Phase.
2. Alignments will be handed out in a pseudo-random fashion following the Role Assignment Phase.
3. You will not receive your own Role PM until Night 1, you will however know the role of the Player you selected during the Drafting Phase.
4. It is possible for some players to have two roles in the cases of Masons and/or Lovers. For example if Player Y assigned "my mason partner" to Player Z, and Player X assigned Jailkeeper to Player Y then Player Y will be a Jailkeeper and a Mason. Player X will only have knowledge of the Jailkeeper Role.
5. Following any death, Alignments will be revealed.
6. There will be
Role reveal following a lynch. All other causes of death will be accompanied by Role reveal. However, mod-kills will be handled at the mod's discretion.
