General Rules and Information

1. Be active in the game no matter what your role is. Inactive players will get left in the game, but will probably lose. Everyone's role can be important.
2. Do not talk about the game outside the day thread unless your role specifically allows it.
3. Do not quote anything sent to you in a private message. Use your own words if you want to pass along the information.
4. Ask the mod if you have a question about anything. If it isn't something you would know, I'll say so.
5. Have fun. It is a game. Play to win but also play the game to enjoy it.
6. Try to post at least once a day phase.
7. Do not edit the content of your posts. It is not fair if you post something that some people get to see and others don't. Breaking of this rule can result in a quick death by MOD. The MOD is allowed to edit his/her posts. If you do an updated vote count and edit it we will be lenient since you're doing us a favor.
8. No real-world money gambling, NAV!
9. Vote using ##lynch. It helps the mods if you make this separate from any text, but we'll try to follow along. For your lynch vote to count if you want to move it to another player, you must ##unlynch first.
10. You may claim your role.
11. Do not expect instant results in day-actions. I will get to it when I am able, so don't strategize for anything to be time-sensitive.
12. If a deadline is reached and I'm not around, someone with the ability to lock the thread should do so.
13. Lynches are done publicly with a needed more than 50% of votes for a hammer. (e.g. With 20 alive it will take 11 votes for a lynch). Plurality will always be in effect should a majority not be reached. If the vote is tied at the deadline, we will go into a 30-minute sudden death period. The first person to take the lynch lead will be lynched, even if they were not previously tied for it. After 30 minutes, if nobody has been lynched, there will be a no-lynch. The 30 minutes will begin on my signal, usually after the thread has been locked and the votes tallied. Any vote that comes in after the deadline but before the thread locks to tally the votes will not count.
14. Survivals will NOT be announced.
15. Day and night phases will NOT follow a rigid timeline. Some may be shorter, some may be longer, but the deadline will always be announced. Get your actions in ASAP for faster openings and keep an eye on when the deadline is for each day, it can and will change from day to day depending on my availability. Be patient with me on results. You can help by contributing to vote counts.
16. The game will be run using Eastern Daylight Time.
17. This game will follow a generally normal but complex order of actions

1. Roleblockers
2. Changers (Bus Driver, Framer, Nexus, etc.)
2b. Bodyguard (If protecting the Changer, Bodyguard goes first)
3. Investigators - Cop Watchers and Trackers
4. Recruiters
5. All other actions
6. Killers- All resolve simultaneously
7. Healers (Doctor/Healer)

18. Win conditions (others may apply)
The town will win when all threats the town have been eliminated
The mafia will meet their win condition when they have reached OVER 50% of the remaining player.

19. If all actions have been submitted I reserve the right to close the night early and open up the day
20 a failed action for any reason including from being blocked will result in a failed action message and nothing more.
21. You will never be able to use your role AND commit a factional action in the same night unless your role is passive or directly related to the factional action (ex: a strongman kill.) This includes the last remaining mafia member. If you are given a gift you MAY use this separately from your role/ factional action on the same night.
