GAME RULES
1. The game does not involve any unusual rules, such as:
- The game host (Askthepizzaguy) being a player/lynchable
- unknown players being able to participate
- inverted win conditions (such as death being victory, or don't lynch anyone results in victory)
so this is not a gag or gimmick game.
2. Win conditions for the Town-aligned factions:
- Destroy the Big Bad, and any other hostile forces.
- Try to fulfill your personal goal(s).
3. Win conditions for the Neutral-aligned factions:
- Destroy the Big Bad, survive the game.
- Try to fulfill your personal goal(s).
4. Win conditions for the rest:
- See your role PM.
5. Minimum level of participation:
- If you do not vote three rounds in a row, you will be sent out of this dimension by the angry, wrathful hand of God, and will be removed from the game and will automatically finish with the lowest possible score and rank dead last. This can be averted under extenuating circumstances by contacting me and letting me know why you will be inactive and when you will be back. I may still be forced to replace you temporarily.
6. Voting procedure:
- If you wish to vote to lynch someone, post Vote: Askthepizzaguy
- If you wish to vote for someone new, post Unvote, vote: Sasaki Kojiro
- If you do not BOLD your vote, it does not count.
- If you do not unvote your previous vote, your new vote does not count.
- If you edit a post with your vote in it, the vote still counts.
- However, if you edit your post to change your vote, you WILL be removed from the game. Do not edit your votes. Make a new post. You can edit other parts of your post, but not the vote part.
7. Role revealing
- DO NOT REVEAL YOUR ROLE PRIVATELY TO ANYONE. Do not say who you are. Do not hint who you are.
- If you wish to make a role reveal, you MUST do it PUBLICLY, in this very thread.
- You are allowed to quote your role PM in this public thread. Yes, the entire thing. But only here.
- This means no email, no private message, no other forums, no telephone, no chats, and no writing messages in the sky. Doesn't matter how, you will not reveal your role privately.
8. Private communication
- Private communication, outside of a host-sanctioned quicktopic, is now ILLEGAL. All forms of it, regarding this game.
9. Exceptions:
- If you are told by the game host that you are allowed to communicate privately (by quicktopic sanctioned by me) then you are.
10. Illegal moves:
- Do not intentionally mess with the vote tally. I will warn you the first time, then ban you. (Don't worry about making tallies for me, I will do my own count. You can do an unofficial tally for yourselves.)
- Do not reveal information that is not publicly available after you die. Your actions during the night phases, other people's actions, your role, your role PM, communications from the game host, even things you heard as a rumor privately... don't talk about them, don't confirm them when others say them. If you speak after death, you may only refer to IN-THREAD information.
I am going to quote from Seamus Fermanagh’s rules from Capo II on this one, with a few edits:
The dead may post, but not vote/select nor carry out any night actions. Dead players may not reveal their roles publicly or privately and may not reveal their faction or role particulars either. Dead players may not quote from a PM unless that PM has been posted in the public thread by a living player. Dead players may not reveal, recount or allude to their previous night actions (or results thereof in the case of investigations) publicly or privately – even to confirm a previously made public or private reveal. Your participation must be circumspect, but your continued participation IS encouraged.
- No screenshots may be used, from or to anyone, for ANY purpose – this includes during PMs. Feel free to quote from player's PMs to you or to fabricate as you see fit. You may NOT quote my PMs. Chatlog conversations may be referenced/quoted, but may not be copied via screenshot. Note: it can be difficult to maintain role secrecy during chat conversations.
- "Suicide" will not be allowed in this game (it is possible to create an unplayable game with nothing but suicide pact challenges going on. This is not the intended mode of play for this game). Players who must remove themselves from play for schedule reasons should send me a PM. I will then write them out of play.
11. I reserve the right to amend these rules and your role at any time. However, I won't do that unless it pertains to game balance (rules) or how I originally designed your role to play out (new role and win conditions, triggered by certain events). The role you start with may change depending on circumstances beyond your total control.
12. The Big Bad (main enemy of the game)
- This is the role that the Town and Neutral factions start off opposing.
- The Big Bad could be anyone.
- There may be more than one Big Bad... or just one, depending on what happens.
13. Sportsmanship, player etiquette, having fun:
- This is just a game. If you win, you don't win anything, and no matter how awesome you are, you did not win based solely on your own actions. Random chance, and other player decisions, are what influence the outcome more than your awesome skills.
- Don't take it too seriously. This may be the internet, but this game is not SERIOUS BUSINESS.
- Breaking the rules, however, is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
- Don't hate anyone for accusing you.
- Don't do personal attacks. You can criticize strategy or suggest people are guilty. Don't call them dumb, or anything similar.
- Avoid profanity and stay within forum rules. I expect you've read the rules when you joined the forum, and the rules are posted plainly here and especially in the gameroom itself (Read this before playing...)
EDIT: ADDENDUM-
14. pevergreen's name is pevergreen with a lowercase p, but frankly I am tired of hearing about it.
- If pevergreen wants to correct people about the not-capitalization of his name, he can do it privately.
- If people want to ask him about why that is so, they can do it privately.
- I am sooooo tired of seeing this exercise repeat every single game... clogging up the thread with posts about capitalization of names. This bartender says: "Take it outside.''
Finally, Have fun.
