All USMB rules should be followed, along with the following rules.
Game Timeline
- Day phases will last 4 days.
- Night phases will last 1 day.
General Rules
- Do not quote your role PM or any other PM/QT communication from the mod.
- Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game.
- Do not use encrypted or hard-to-see text (including "invisible" text, text below the 50% text size option, or text hidden via BBCode (not including spoilered text)).
- Do not edit or delete posts in this thread.
- Don't accuse other players of cheating openly. Please PM the host your suspicions instead.
- Also, pretending to break a rule to fake or psyche out other players is the same as rulebreaking. You can lie and bluff all you want, otherwise.
Activity
- If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 48 hours, other players may request a prod of that player.
- If a player doesn't post in-game after a period of 72 hours and another player hasn't made a request, I will prod that player.
- If a player is prodded, that player has 24 hours to make an in-game post before a replacement will be found.
- If a player receives multiple prods and/or prod-dodges excessively, that player will be subject to a force-replace.
- If you are going to be absent for a specific period of time, please let me know ahead of time!
Votes and Lynching
- Votes must be in the format of VOTE: Player Name. Abbreviations, missing punctuation, and misspellings will be accepted as long as it is obvious to me who is being voted for. If I perceive it as a vote, it will count as a vote.
- Unvotes are not necessary to change a vote.
- A player will be lynched if a majority of the players have voted for that player.
- You may vote for a No Lynch. If a majority of players vote for a No Lynch, the game will proceed to Night without a lynch.
- All living players, including the lynchee, may continue to post until the thread is locked.
- Once I have posted your death scene, you may not post.
- You may change your vote as many times as you wish.
Setup-Specific Rules
- The mafia can't kill at all. There is essentially no Night phase.
- If the godfather is lynched at any point, the town immediately wins. (This is the only special quality of the godfather.)
- If, on Day 1 only, one of the townies is lynched, this townie immediately gets to make a vigilante kill. (See Vengeful Townie)
- The town does not automatically win by having the godfather killed in this way.
- Mafia wins when there are at least as many mafia as townies, and the town doesn't have a vengeance kill to use.
- Vengeful Townie: A Vengeful player is a one that, when lynched, is awarded the ability to kill any other player as they die.
Behavior
- Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. While this is a competitive game, no personal attacks will be tolerated.
- Always play to your win condition.
- Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else unless your role allows you to.
- Please don't discuss pets or family in these games. You may mention them briefly if that is why you aren't posting much.
