Rules subject to change up until the start of Night One.
So, here are the ground rules for this game. It will be a little bit different so be sure to pay attention. Traditional rules first.
1) We are going back to the traditional no strategy at Night. You can talk at Night, but no strategy may be discussed.
2) All votes must be posted in blue or they won’t count. If you can do it, placing votes and unvotes at the bottom of a post separated from the rest of the text helps; but this is not mandatory.
3) You only get one vote. If you change your mind about who you want to vote for you must unvote in red or the change won’t count.
4) You may only ask questions about the mechanics of the game in PM form. Please PM both Kat and myself. One of us will answer, and if it seems appropriate we will post to the thread.
5) You MAY NOT quote any PM’s from Kat or myself in the game thread
6) You may not edit your posts. We all know this one by now, so there won’t be any second chances. We will get creative with the punishment for this one because I don’t think mod killing is always fair. But don’t push it. If you need your post altered for gramatical or coding reasons PM either Kat or myself. We will do it for you.
7) If you need to call Kat or myself out in the thread for some reason (a vote count request etc.) Please post the request in green and bold and slightly larger than normal text size so we can find it fast when scanning the thread.
8) No intentional lurking. If we see lurking is becoming a strategy we will force sub the player out. This will be done at the mods discretion.
9) Once you are dead, you are dead. You get a goodbye post, and you can haunt the thread at Night, but don’t get involved in game play.
Ok here is where things get interesting. Read these carefully
10) We will be having a night head start. All the non killing power roles will be able to use their power tonight. No one will die, but the town will have some info at daybreak.
11) Day One is going to be long. Really long. I am thinking 10 days long. The rest of the Days will be shorter, but still longer then we are used to at least to start. This is becuase we have a closed setup and the town needs a bit more time to figure things out in a closed set up. You will be told when the day ends in each Days dawn post.
12) The Day will end instantly once majority vote has been reached. I will be around and Kat will be around to watch the vote counts, but it is up to you guys to make sure you don’t hammer anyone accidentally. We will try to give you at least 2 vote updates every 24 hours, but no promises. You will be told the magic majority number in each Days dawn post.
13) If majority has not been reached by the deadline…there will be no lynch. This one is important so read it twice.
14) Dusk happens either at the deadline or when majority has been reached, it does not matter if Kat or I are around to post it. Treat it as though Night has started. No more strategy, no more role claims, no more votes.
Anything not listed in the above rules is fair game. Feel free to find loopholes in the rules and bend them to your own ends.
And most importantly, have fun with it. I understand that tempers get heated sometimes, but it’s just a game. It isn’t personal. I want everyone to walk away from the game still being friends.
OK, respond to the signup thread when you have your role PM (which might be a while since Kat can’t sign on from work) In the mean time feel free to PM me with any complaints about the rule set.
