- Please don't sign up if you don't intend to play.
- Days will be 5 24-hr periods long; Nights will be 2 24-hr periods long.
- Starting Day 3 (or when fewer than 50% of the original players are left), living players may vote: hammer; if a 75% consensus is reached, Day will end early.
- Subs will be allowed until Night 3.
- Strategy is allowed at Night.
- Color is color. There may end up being clues therein, there may not. A great deal depends on the mod's mood when doing any write-up. It could be worth discussing, or it could just be confusing, distracting, or a red herring.
- Players with access to off-board methods of communication are not limited to Day or Night strategy on those boards.
- Only sanctioned methods of off-board communication are allowed. Under no circumstances may players PM each other about game-related issues.
- If at all possible, Night actions should be to the moderator via PM by no later than one hour before Night end.
- Receipt of Night actions should be confirmed by the mod. If not, please PM the mod a reminder.
- Rule violation penalties will be on a sliding scale; the first violation by any player will result in a one-Day Penalty Vote; second violations, even if by a different player, will result in one two-Day Penalty Vote, and all subsequent violations by any players will result in one Final Vote.
- Editing of posts within reason is allowed. Editing of posts with Votes will result in penalties as above.
- You may post your role PM or any correspondence with the Mod.
- Cover Roles may be provided.
- Quoting from sanctioned off-board methods of communication is allowed.
- There is no Recruitment in this game.
- Voting:
- There are no vote shenanigans in this game. If you see an error in the vote count, please PM the mod or post in-thread and the mod will double-check.
- No Vote Limits. If you want to vote every player in the game simultaneously, that's your prerogative, though the mod may curse your name.
- Vote using Bold and Blue and unvote using Bold and Red.
- Improperly coded votes will not be counted.
- Vote at the beginning of the line as it is easier for the Mod to count. (If you don't, your vote will still count. This is just a plea for the Mod's sanity.)
- Votes are in effect until unvoted or End of Day arrives (e.g., Day One votes do not carry over to Day Two, etc.).
- Votes may be placed during the Night phase if it pleases you, but any such votes will not count toward the subsequent Day's total.
- Ties will be resolved using the following method: The player who received the most votes during the current Day phase will be the lynch candidate.
- If both players received the same number of maximum votes, the person who received the first vote during the current Day phase will be the lynch candidate.
- Final Votes and Penalty Votes do not count as "first votes" for purposes of tiebreaking.
Player receiving votes (total votes, max votes): player 1 voting [post voted],
