GAME RULES General Rules Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to the game Mod IMMEDIATELY. Do not talk outside the game thread about an ongoing game except where allowed to do so by your role. Likewise, do not use bbcode to hide secret messages - this equates to discussion outside the thread. Do not bring outside influences into the game - this includes threats, bribes, wagers, promises, alliances, etc. Using knowledge from previous games is perfectly acceptable, but try not to carry grudges from one game to another. Do not edit/delete posts! Do not talk after you are dead or replaced except for a brief Bah!-type post that contains NO game related information. Don't post the links to quicktopics that are used unless I give you permission. Claiming scum by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with others is not, regardless of the truth of this claim. Pretending to break a rule will be treated the same as breaking the rule. Play to win. Deliberately throwing the game is prohibited.Activity/Prods/Replacements If a player goes 72 real life hours without posting, they may be prodded at my discretion, or upon being asked by another player. Prods will be announced in thread. If a player does not respond to their prod within 24 real life hours, would be prodded thrice in the same game-day, or four times in total within the game, they may be force-replaced at my discretion. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period please PM the Mod so that you don't get replaced!Deadlines Days will have a deadline of 14 real-time days - # of dead players; Nights will have a deadline of 72 real life hours. I may extend deadlines in the event replacements must be found, at my discretion. This will be announced in thread. Deadlines may be shortened if activity is too low, or if all Night choices have been received early.Player Actions/Voting/Player Death Votes must be at the beginning of a new line, using bold (VOTE: Player name). Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it counts as a vote. It is not necessary to explicitly unvote (UNVOTE: Player name) before voting someone else. Once a majority of votes is reached (# of players / 2 + 1, rounded down), that person is lynched. In the event that the majority is not reached at the end of the day, the half-majority rule will be followed. All living players, including the lynchee, may continue to post until I lock the thread. In the event deadline is reached before a lynch has occurred, there will be No Lynch. If a player has a night action, but does not submit a choice before deadline, they will perform no action.Miscellaneous This color is reserved for the Mod. Don't use it. Invisible/small/encrypted text is not allowed. Modkills will be enforced. If you do something that is a modkillable offense, it will be done in a way that is detrimental to your faction. You will be changed to a neutral survivor (automatic loss). If you find loopholes in any of the rules and use them it is considered not good sportsmanship. This doesn't apply to game mechanics of course. If you find a loophole that seems important please do not hesitate to notify me immediately. Have fun!Other Notes about this Setup All Night actions will be resolved using Natural Action Resolution.If there is a conflict between the rules and what is written in a player's role PM, the role takes precedence.Non-investigative type roles with an Active ability will not be told if their action was successful or not. Investigative roles will be told something along the lines of "No Result" if their action was unsuccessful.Protective abilities block all normal kill attempts (even stacked attempts) unless explicitly stated otherwise.Cults or roles that change the alignment of players will not appear in this game.All QTs will be made public at game’s completion. Don’t say anything in there that you would not want being aired in public.Since this is a closed theme game created by me, expect the unexpected. Do not outguess the mod.Sample Role PM
