Besides. Pinman is already (not quite so) dead.
1. Day Phases will be 24 hours if everyone has voted. If there are some missing votes, a 24 hour extension may be granted.
2. Night Phases will be 24 hours if all orders are in. I do allow orders to be sent in "ahead of time" so that if you anticipate not being online that day, I still have your orders. Under some circumstances I may grant an extension for the night phase, but remember, that can cause problems when you proclaim your innocence. Be wise and send your orders in early.
3. Copying, quoting, translating (turning into a foreign language for someone else to read as a loophole around the rules) the ROLE private message (PM) I send you, screenshots, and chatlogs (direct quotes from instant messenger chat) are explicitly and totally banned. Do not circumvent this rule or you will be WOG'ed (die due to the Wrath of God- the game moderator, me) immediately. However, private communication outside of the game thread is allowed. Do not intentionally try to find a loophole to the above rule, such as asking "what is the fourth letter in your role PM?" because I design the game to make such chicanery useless, and it is also unethical as it is an attempted loophole. If you wish to do something which you might think goes against the SPIRIT of the rules, please contact me for approval first, and you might be surprised, I might say Okay.
4. Please follow all other CivFanatics forum rules regarding conduct, and please try to refrain from showing hostility toward another player. It is only a game, please cool yourself off before posting. You are allowed to criticize decisions made by other players, but I frown upon calling people stupid, etc. Please refrain from using profanity, or posting off-topic content or obscene imagery.
5. Please try to remain active. If you need to drop out for whatever reason, please contact me and I will replace you with an inactive player. If you miss two consecutive voting rounds, you may be replaced.
6. Feel free to ask me anything in private. I may not answer your specific question though if it reveals information you aren't supposed to have.
7. Votes shall be bolded and in the
vote: Methos
format, and if you wish to change your vote, I'd prefer it if you posted in the
unvote, vote: Matrix
format. This makes it easier for me to locate your votes and your vote changes. This may be different from the format you're accustomed to. I'll try to be flexible.
8. FORCED CLUES and MULTIPLE VOTING- Nope!
Apparently we have a culture clash. You're familiar with mafia games where you have multiple votes and the mafia are required to leave true/false clues. That's a variation that I am not familiar with and I am not employing. Players will have one vote apiece, and clues will come in the form of investigative results if there is an investigator, in-thread activity, voting patterns, and subtle write-up hints.
Not familiar with my style of games? Check out my other mafia game that I just recently hosted, The Chainsaw Gang. This one will be mostly humorous and not as dark, but some of the writeups will be violent as usual. I'd have to play a few games the way you're used to playing it in order to feel comfortable hosting one that way.
9. Playing while dead:
If you are dead, you can still play. You cannot communicate with anyone out-of-thread about the game and you cannot reveal any NEW information in-thread that has not already been revealed by another player. In other words, if you're dead, you cannot reveal detective results and so forth, or be part of a town information network. You can continue to discuss and give your opinion on who needs to die, and use all in-thread resources at your disposal. Also, if you are alive, don't PM the dead, unless they are your mafia partners.
My sincerest apologies for not making this clear ahead of time. That is my error.
Taillesskangaru, clad in the finest Green armour, wandered through the forest seeking out his hated rivals, such as the Black Knight. But some others plagued his mind even more than the Black Knight... unseen... invisible.... hiding among good, decent men. They looked like men but they were not. They smelled like foul beasts.... beasts that didn't belong in England. But today, the Green Knight would face an even more ruthless foe.
