Talk about the game inside the game. While the game's running, don't talk about the game outside of GM-designated places. No exceptions.
Do not edit posts. No exceptions.
Post only cleartext messages.Don't use hidden, illegible, or coded messages.
Paraphrase all content from Host PMs.Don't directly quote anything that is not in the thread.
If anyone attempts to use the phrasing of their rolecard or questions someone on their rolecard phrasing or word placement they will be either warned or modkilled at my discretion.
Post only when posting's allowed. Keep posting in this thread to Day Phase, and only post if alive. Don't post during the Night Phase, or after elimination.
As a special exception, all players get one short Death Post of zero game value after elimination.
Post at least five times during every Day Phase.
If extenuating circumstances apply, notify your Host so arrangements can be made.
Play the Game, not the Metagame. Judging a player's actions in the context of previous games is fine, but refrain from directly predicting or citing the GM's actions as evidence.
Play to win. This improves both your own experience and the experience of your peers.
Rules and Mechanics may be amended at any point in the game to fix game-breaking issues. Hosts will clearly announce any such changes, unless doing so would compromise the game.
Game-specific Rules:
Setup type: Closed.
The game is separated into Day and Night Phases.
Day Phase lasts 72 hours, starting at 7 PM and ending at 7 PM Central time.
Night Phase lasts 48 hours, starting at 7 PM and ending at 7 PM. The Night can end early if all actions are submitted early. Feel free to submit "No Action" if you don't plan on taking an action, or mark an action as tentative if you think you'll change it later in the Night and don't want the Night ending early.
Day voting: Hammer
If majority is not achieved at any point in the Day then there will not be an elimination.
If majority is achieved publicly then the Day will end immediately.
Bastard: No.
If you do not match activity levels needed (Disregarding Hammer) and have not informed me that you won't be matching it, I will ask for a replacement to step in. If the replacement is not found by the end of the following day your slot will be modkilled.
Roles will be distributed randomly.
Player count: 15
By participating in this game you preemptively agree to have the contents of any mafia chats, neighborhoods, dead chats or similar revealed publicly once the game is over.
I'm closing this thread now, I'll try getting this setup running again in the future. In the meanwhile, here's a nice small open setup game for people to go try out.
