None Shall Pass 3 [Game Thread]

The following factions are present in the game:

Star Wars Mafia:


Lord of the Rings Mafia:


Star Wars Town:


Lord of the Rings Town:


Other:


Generally speaking, the game ends when there are no living players whose victory conditions depend on eliminating other living players.

If the game comes to a situation with only two factions left, there may be a showdown similar to the final battle between the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Towns in None Shall Pass.

Before play begins, roles will be randomly assigned to all players. Then, each player will receive a Role PM detailing the specifics of their role. This will tell you everything you need to know about your character: your victory conditions, abilities, background information, and so on. There is no generic townie role - every player has a unique character and at least one ability.

A sample town Role PM is posted below:

Phase Rotation: For the most part, the usual sequence of 48-hour days and 24-hour nights will be followed. Phases will end at a pre-determined time, and a timer will be provided which counts down to the exact deadline, after which no more votes/actions will be accepted. It may take some time for me to compile everything and write the update.

I reserve the right to extend the deadline of a phase for any reason. However, I will never shorten the deadline.

Day Phase: Each day, every player is expected to vote for a suspect from among the list of players. Each player can cast one vote (see "Voting" section below for more details). At the end of the Day, the votes are tallied and the player receiving the most votes is killed. The game then proceeds to the night phase.

Certain traits or roles may allow for a specific daytime action. Any such abilities will be explained accordingly in the individual's Role PM.

Night Phase: Some players have night actions they can perform some or every night. These players are expected to send a PM to me (Zack) detailing which action(s) they wish to take. Failure to do so will result in your character performing no action. I would appreciate it if you title your PM "Night x orders" and quote the ability/abilities you are using in your orders (or at the very least name them). I will also take orders from host-created QuickTopics, but please bold your orders using <b></b> tags.

I will compile these actions and write the Night update (note: unlike previous NSP games, None Shall Pass 3 only depicts successful nightkills in these updates), then send individual night results to players.

If a player dies during any phase, their role name and faction will be revealed immediately and truthfully thereafter.

Posting is allowed during all phases, both day and night.

Private Communication: You are allowed to communicate privately with other living players. Feel free to send PMs, IMs, create your own QuickTopics, whatever. Please send any QuickTopic links to me (although if I did not create the QuickTopic, I will not accept orders from it and will probably not post in it).

Quoting other players: You are allowed to quote private communications you have with other players. These are easily falsified, and it's tedious to paraphrase private conversations. There are a few caveats.

- You cannot post screenshots (real or fake) of any private communications, for any reason.
- You cannot refer to time stamps (real or fake) of messages in any way, explicitly or implicitly, for any reason.
- You cannot post QuickTopic links (real or fake) in the public thread, for any reason. Please do not try to get around this by PMing the link to every living player in the game.
- You cannot share any QuickTopics (real or fake) that I create, publicly or privately.


Quoting the host: Don't do it. Specifically:

- Do not quote or pretend to quote any part of your Role PM or any other PM I send you, in public or in private.
- Do not use the specific name of your ability unless it's generic like "doctor" or "bulletproof" (if you can't find it on this page, don't say it).
- Do not share, reference, or allude to any pictures associated with your character or your abilities.

You are allowed to say what role you are and what powers/abilities/whatever you have, but directly quoting anything I say to you in private, including your Role PM, is strictly forbidden. This also applies to false information (e.g. do not tell people your ability has a picture of Donald Trump picking his nose, even if it's not true).

Do not try to circumvent these restrictions. Do not discuss the formatting of the Role PM, do not discuss when the Role PM was sent, do not post screenshots of it, and so on. Don't try to loophole your way out of this.


Dead Players: If you're dead, the only place you may discuss this game with others is in the Dead QuickTopic. Do not post in the game thread, do not privately communicate with other players, do not post in any QuickTopics (other than the Dead QT).

Post Editing: Do not edit your posts, especially if it contains a vote. Make a new post if you must. Take time to check grammar before you post. Editing a post with a vote in it renders that vote invalid.

Participation: Voting during the Day Phase is mandatory. If you consistently fail to vote, I may replace or modkill you, even if you are active at night. You must participate in the public thread and vote.

Procedure: You cannot Abstain or vote for No Lynch. This is war, you must vote to lynch someone.

To be counted, a vote must be posted in bold typeface and have a "Vote:" tag prefacing the name of the player you're voting for. Vote: Zack is the correct form, Zack is not and won't be counted.

If you desire to change your vote, simply vote for another player or choice. Striking out or unvoting the name of the player you were previously voting is unnecessary and discouraged. Do not edit your old votes for any reason, even if you make a new vote.

Other:

- If you abbreviate the name of the person for whom you are voting, please do so in a clear and consistent fashion. If I can't figure it out, I will not count it.
- If you are going to post a vote tally, please take care to make it accurate. That said, I will be making my own tallies and will not use player-made tallies as a reference.
- If you edit your post, which you shouldn't do, any vote contained therein will not be counted.

This is a game which can involve lying, bluffing, and backstabbing. It's not personal, it's just business.

Even so, please follow the game rules, and obey all forum rules.

Should something frustrating happen, please do not verbally attack a fellow player or the game host or anyone else. You are allowed to criticize ideas and suggestions, but do not call people dumb.
