Game Rules:
General Gameplay and Etiquette:
1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase.
7. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
2. Votes should be bolded or they will not be counted (e.g. Vote: Player).
3. Vote revocations should be bolded or they will not be counted (e.g. Unvote: Player). Unvotes are necessary before changing votes.
4. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
5. Votes/Unvotes that are bolded correctly and are unambiguous (with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations) will count.
6. If there is a majority of votes on a person before a deadline, it will result in a lynch.
7. At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch. In the case of a tie, the person who first received the required number of votes will be lynched. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur.
8. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
9. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; the lynched player may not post during twilight but all other living players may continue to post.
10. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah! I'm Dead type post”-type post.
Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Red or Blue text is reserved for Me. No invisible/small text is allowed.
2. Votecounts will be posted once per page or once per day, whichever is less.
3. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM Me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
4. ! make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
5. Please bold all requests to me so that they don’t get missed.
6. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night.
7. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject my discretion and will be handled as I sees fit on a case-by-case basis.
8. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
The Golden Rule:
Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.
