The Rules (borrowed a bit from Storytellers "Evil Dead")*
1. The Day/Night Cycle
Dayswill last for approximately five days (120 hours); Nights will last for approximately two days (48 hours).
At the start of each Night/Day the time and date at witch it will end will be posted.
Nights will be fluff only!
Days can only end before the deadline if all but one af the remaining players vote for the same lynch-target.
2. Posting
There are no post restrictions at Day. As long as you are alive, you may post whatever you like. You may quote your role PM, and any PM sent to you by the moderators. You may discuss strategy by Day but not at Night. If you have access to outside boards, you may post to them on any subject by Day or by Night.
You may not edit your posts.
3. Off-Board Communication
Is permitted via officially sanctioned methods only. For the record, no game-related private messaging among active players is permitted.
4. Voting
You may vote to lynch another player by using the color blue. You may do this only at Day. Whoever has the most votes at the time a game Day ends will be lynched. Should a tie occur the player who reached the maximum number of votes first will be lynched.
Unvoting will only be counted when placed using the color red
5. Participation
There will be no hard and fast rules regarding participation, except this one: please participate. The moderators will determine the adequacy of each player’s participation in a context-sensitive fashion, and will issue warnings, prompts, and removals as necessary. All discussion about a player’s participation level will take place in private; the moderators will not discuss participation, prods, or potential modkills in the game thread under any circumstances.
Broadly speaking, all moderator action, notably modkill, is subject to the discretion of the moderators. NOTE: There will be no voting requirement whatsoever. As long as you’re posting, you don’t have to vote at all, ever, as far as the moderators are concerned.
Should you wish the mods to answer you in the game-thread, you ought to consider asking using the color green.
6. Power Role Actions
Power Role actions may be submitted at any time at all, even in advance, but must be clearly labeled with the Day/Night for which they are intended. If you are a Doctor, for example, you may send a PM on Day One saying “Self-protect Night One, Night Two, and Night Three, then protect Roosh Night Four.” These orders will remain in force unless you change them. I’ll emphasize this for clarity: because of this rule, any actions submitted without a specific Day/Night designation will not be executed.
Day actions always resolve at Dusk; Night actions always resolve at Dawn. The deadline for submitting an action for a particular Night or Day will be fifteen minutes in advance of the Day/Night’s end (so any actions for Day One must be submitted at least 15 minutes prior to the time of Dusk for that Day).
7. Claiming
Please feel free to ask a player to claim or to claim yourself. But also note please that a sample vanilla-PM will be posted for all to see. Also fake PMs have already been written for those who might need them and the moderator here by offer any player assistance in producing fake mod-PMs/role-PM etc.
This is to make up for the fact that the way I phrase/spell isn't always so easy to imitate by others.
