We are rough men and used to rough ways.
Setup
~ The Town fights to expel the criminal elements currently infesting Westville. They fight on the side of justice, the innocent, and the law. The town is comprised entirely of vanilla townies, with the single exception of one special role.
~ The Mafia seek to rule Westville by force. They are outlaws through and through. Their exact numbers vary depending on the number of players. Generally speaking, the mafia kill one townsperson each night, though this is not necessarily always the case.
~ There are no other parties in Westville. Only the town and the mafia.
~ Alignment will not be revealed for every dead player, though if/when it is revealed, it is always truthful. More on this later.
TL;DR -- There's a mafia and a town. Alignment not necessarily revealed in the usual manner.
Posting and Communication
~ Posting is allowed during both the Day and Night phases.
~ Do not post your Role PM or anything else I send you privately. No screenshots. Do not post any QT links until after the game is over.
~ Private communication with other players is forbidden. One exception, the mafia can communicate with each other privately in a host-provided QuickTopic.
~ Do not edit your posts for any reason. If you edit a post containing a vote, that vote will be rendered invalid. Ninja edits are acceptable, although discouraged (i.e. if I can't see the "last edited by" tag underneath your post).
~ Dead players may continue to post in the thread. They are forbidden from claiming, accurately or not, any role or ability. Otherwise, they can say what they want.
~ If you are inactive, I reserve the right to replace or WOG you. I will give you fair warning before taking such measures.
TL;DR -- Night posting allowed. No PMs or private comms. No editing posts. The dead can talk. Be active.
Day and Night
~ Day is typically around 48 hours (always at least 40), and Night is usually about 24 hours (always at least 20).
~ There are no abilities which affect deadlines.
~ Phases may be extended for whatever reason, but they will never end prematurely.
~ A timer showing the exact amount of time remaining in the phase will be provided at each phase update and with each posted tally.
~ Vote tallies will be posted frequently throughout the Day. Players are free to make and post their own tallies, but I will not use them and they should be taken with a grain of salt.
~ During the Day, players vote for each other (e.g. Vote: Zack). Vote tags are mandatory, a simple bolding will not suffice. Unvoting is not required - simply make a new vote. Voting for No Lynch or abstaining is not allowed at any time.
~ On tiebreaking. Day 1, in addition to the normal lynch voting, there will be a vote for a special tiebreaking item. Whenever there is a tie, the vote of whoever is in possession of the item will be the only one that counts. More on this when the game starts.
~ On alignment. Players' alignment will (usually) not be revealed automatically. Instead, there will be a vote in addition to lynch voting to determine which dead player's alignment is revealed. The alignment of the dead player with the most votes will be revealed at the end of Night.
~ During the Night phase, players send in night actions if they have an ability which requires one. The vast majority of players will not.
TL;DR -- Vote tags are mandatory. Read the full bullet-points for tiebreaking and alignment reveals.
I think that covers it. If you have any questions, CTRL+F the rules first, then ask me.
I will have to keep my word though.
