Rules

Regular Rules Show

Voting

All official votes must be bold and in a noticeable color (ex. red, green, purple, etc). Please try to stay away from voting in colors that are extremely bright and hard to read (ex. yellow) or colors that will blend in with other text and the background (ex. black, gray). An example of a proper vote would be "Vote: Player".

Deadlines

Each in-game day will last approximately 7-14 real-life days. Each in-game night will last approximately 2-3 real-life days. Both of these deadlines will be determined by the moderator running the game. Days and nights may be extended in case a player needs to be replaced, or if the mods find it prudent.

Please be active during the day. Each player is required to post at least once every 72 hours. If you do not post during that time period, you will be prodded once. If you do not respond to this prod within 48 hours, then you will be either replaced or modkilled.

If you become too busy or are going on a vacation where there is no internet access, and cannot post once every 72 hours, please either request that the moderator replace you, or announce a V/LA (Vacation/Limited Access) by telling everybody how long you will be gone for.

Players are expected to send the moderator their night targets before the time night ends. If you do not send in a target, it is assumed that you are not using your ability. However, even if you do plan on not using your ability, please send the moderator a message anyways. This allows the moderator to end the night early and helps speed things up.

The mafia don is responsible for sending in the mafia's nightkill each night, as well as the mafia member performing the nightkill. If the mafia don is dead or away, another player may send in the kill, but if there is a conflict then the don's kill choice will take precedence.

Communications

Do not post in invisible or white text in the game thread.

Do not attempt to obscure information in your posts using ciphers or other means of encryption.

Do not edit your posts in the game thread. If you really must clarify something, put it in another post.

Do not quote your role PM to anybody. Paraphrasing it is fine, but copying and pasting it is not.

Unless your role specifically allows you to, do not talk about game relevant information outside the game thread. This rule includes but is not limited to messages in your forum avatar, forum signature, IRC, private messages, and instant messaging.

Do not talk about game relevant information to people in the game or outside the game, even after you are dead. You might not permanently be dead.

Do not post in the game thread if you're dead, unless your role specifically allows it. Dead men tell no tales.

Do not post in the game thread at night, unless your role specifically allows it. You're supposed to be asleep.

Other Rules

Do not use meta-strategies that are against the spirit of the game, such as trying to tell whether or not someone is town based on the way their role pm is worded. What exactly constitutes as a meta-strategy is up to interpretation by the moderators.

Do not sign up for the same game under more than one account. Signing up for different games under different accounts is fine, but signing up for two spots in the same game will be punished heavily.

If you have any issues with a current game, either contact a GM that is currently not playing in that game, or wait until the game is over before bringing up the issue. Do not make a public post about it while the game is still running, as that may ruin the game for everybody else.

The moderators reserve the right to change the rules and replace/modkill anyone as they see fit. This rule is here just in case something unexpected happens in the game that needs to be dealt with immediately, and should normally not be invoked.

If you ever have any questions about the rules, feel free to send the moderators a private message. They will answer any questions they can.

Have fun! (Okay, this isn't actually a rule.)

Special Rules Show

Lynching

Day will end once the deadline has been reached and never sooner. That means that even if somebody achieves the majority of the votes, they will not die until the deadline has passed. Nights however, can end early if everybody sends in their night actions ahead of time.

If the players have run out of things to talk about, the deadline can be ended early if the majority of the remaining living players request it.

At the end of the day, the player with the most votes on him or her will be lynched, regardless of whether the votes constitute an absolute majority or not. If two or more players are tied for the most votes, a random player from among those tied players will be lynched.

There is a special lynch the town can perform, the Rynch (Random Lynch), which will override the normal lynch. Unlike a normal lynch, Rynching requires an absolute majority to happen. If the town ends up Rynching, then a player will be randomly selected to be lynched for the day.

There is no option to “No Lynch” in this game, and you cannot “not vote” in this game. Players who are not voting will be counted as voting for the Rynch. (As an extension of this rule, you aren't really required to unvote between votes. The mods will simply count your last vote only. If you unvote you'll just be placed back into the Rynching crowd).

Abilities

The abilities in this game are described a little differently. Certain players in the game have special abilities that they can use. There are three types of abilities that may appear in the game. They are as follows:

Passive Abilities: These are abilities that are simply true about the character. An example of a passive ability would be “You cannot be nightkilled”. They do not require any activation and cannot be roleblocked.

Active Abilities: These abilities require an activation during the night. The player has to specifically use their ability for it to have any effect. An example of an active ability would be “Each night, you may send me a private message with the name of a player. That player cannot be nightkilled that night”. Active abilities generally can be roleblocked.

Day Abilities: Day abilities are a special type of active ability. They must be activated during the day for them to have any effect. An example of a day ability is “Anytime during the day, you may post ‘Kill: Player’ in the game thread. That player will die”. Day abilities generally cannot be roleblocked, as most roleblockers only act during the night.

Story

Story Show

          You wake up in an unfamiliar location. You are in a city. It seems to be... Tokyo maybe? But the city is odd. There are no people anywhere. The stores are empty, the streets are bare. The world around you looks slightly surreal. As if you’ve been sucked into the matrix or something. You notice other people. They’re all waking up around you as well. From the mumblings and the fragments of conversations that you hear, it seems that nobody knows what is going on. Suddenly, the air in front of you flickers. You see and hear a girl you know can’t possibly be there. The girl speaks.

          “Attention everybody. It is I, the lovely Haruhi Suzumiya. I will be your god for your brief stay in this closed space. Now now, there’s no need to worship me. Although I AM a deity, I don’t have that big of an ego. Anyways, I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’ve brought you here. Well, I brought you here because I thought you were interesting. I want you all to play a little game with me. It’s a puzzle of sorts. Find out how to get back home. The reward for winning is... well I guess it’s being able to return home. On the other hand, if you lose, then you’ll be punished.”

          The girl flickers and disappears into thin air. As if she had never been there in the first place. Everybody is confused.

          A few hours later, as people get their bearings in the unfamiliar world, plans start to be made, and groups start to form. People quickly raid nearby stores for food and supplies. Sleeping arrangements are made in the surrounding buildings. It is quickly decided that the best way to escape this unfamiliar place is to band together and figure out this problem as a group. However, there are always traitors within every group. There are some people, bad people, who would rather not follow that plan. They seek to usurp the current group unity and to take charge themselves. It is up to you to find out who among you is a traitor, and to eliminate them. Maybe then will you be able to find a way out of this closed space and back to your home.

Sample Town Role

Spoiler: Show

Role: Yagami Raito
World: Death Note

Dear player, you are Yagami Raito, Town Aligned Death Note Holder. You are on a mission to rid the world of evil. However, it is sort of hard to accomplish your mission when you are stuck in some alternate universe. Therefore, you seek to collaborate with everybody else to get back home. You are currently not in possession of your Death Note, it is still in the secret compartment of your drawer, so you have no abilities.

Win Condition: As a group, all of you have planned to escape this strange place. However, some people are trying to sabotage your efforts. Your goal is to eliminate those players. You win if at least one member of the town is still alive and all threats to the town are dead.

Confirmation phase starts now.

The game will begin once everybody confirms that they have received their role pm.

Note that the image in your pm contains the official version of your role. There is text under it in case you cannot see the image, but in some cases the text may be either incomplete or incorrect, so please consult your image and only read the text if you have to.

If you cannot see your image, please inform me.

(You normally need to wait until rag posts, but since he's a GM assistant and has editing powers, he can just edit my posts if I disappear for some reason).
