Hatland Mafia

[Mr.Bookworm]

Rules and regs totally stolen from Snake.How to Play:

1. Play to win. If you give up, I will seek a Replacement for you. If you actually begin sabotaging your faction's interests, act offensively, troll or flame people in a way that's unnecessarily ad hominem or complain about the rules, I will Modkill you if I have to.
2. In this game, 'Modkill' refers to actions I take to eliminate players who break the rules. It's just the technical term, you can call it 'Hostkill' if you want. Note that if you act in a way that violates NPF Forum rules, an actual NPF Moderator will take action. If an NPF Moderator bans you, I'll seek your Replacement or 'Modkill' you if you cannot be replaced.
3. Be active. If you are not sufficiently active, I will send you PMs. If you continue to be inactive, you will be replaced.
4. Check your PMs before posting at the beginning of every 'Day' period. Failing to take heed may get you Modkilled.
5. 'Days' last 96 hours. During 'Day' periods you may post normally and vote on lynches.
6. 'Nights' last 48 hours. During 'Night' periods those of you with nighttime activities need to take the necessary few minutes to log in and send me a PM indicating the action you'd like to take. You may NOT post in this topic during 'Night.'
7. If you have NOT joined this game in the signup topic: Please do not post here. (Exceptions are obviously made for Mods, who can certainly enforce the NPF rules at their leisure.)

During the Day:

1. 'Days' last a default time of 96 hours. I will periodically remind you of the approaching deadline. 'Days' will never last longer. Even if I'm not present, the 'Day' will end 96 hours after it began, and all votes tabulated or posts made after the 'Day' ends will not count.
2. Deliberately posting after 'Day' ends will get you Replaced or Modkilled. I'll accept a short 'grace' period because sometimes we make mistakes, but votes will never count if cast after the deadline. If you're still posting content long after 'Day' ends, expect consequences.
3. 'Day' may end before the 96 hour period passes. Whenever anyone has more than 50% of existing players on their lynch, day will automatically end early with the lynching of the player. Again, same rules apply here as with the 96 hour deadline; after more than 50% are on a lynch, you're not supposed to talk.
4. Do not edit your posts. Period. At all. For any reason.
5. Do not directly quote any correspondence between the player and the host. Exceptions of what you can quote and what you can paraphrase will be clearly delineated in our communications.
6: Do not communicate with each other outside the game regarding this topic, even after you've died. Exceptions are clearly delineated. Even if you fall under an exception, though, you may only communicate with your partners or teammates so long as you are alive.
7. Turn on invisible. All of you.

Voting:

1: Here is how you vote: ##Vote: Playername. Your vote must be bolded to be valid.
2: Here is how you unvote: ##Unvote. You must unvote before placing a new vote (though you can unvote and place a new vote in the same post.) And again, you must bold your unvotes for them to count.
3: If you do not follow these rules, your votes will not count.
4: You may vote 'No Lynch' at any time by typing ##Vote: No Lynch. You unvote that option the same you'd unvote anything else. If the 'No Lynch' option achieves majority support or has the most votes at the end of the 'Day', there will be no lynch.
5: Lynching is plurality-based. If there are 10 players, it takes 6 to lynch. If there is no majority by the end of the Day, the player with the most votes gets lynched.
6: If there is a tie at the end of the day, we enter a Tiebreaker. No one may talk freely; only new votes or unvotes may be tabulated. The 'Day' does not end until the tie is broken.

Claiming:

1: I'm not sure why two of you seemed to believe this, but you are under no obligation to claim your flavor or your role. You've been given information to do so if you wish, and others may ask or demand information from you, but you may choose to do so strategically whenever you'd like.
2: Remember to paraphrase a description of your role. You may not quote anything I've written to you myself, aside from your name and title. Directly quoting anything you shouldn't is a bannable offense.
3: I've relied on color-coding a fair deal in the PMs that describe your roles. You are free to post part or all of your claims in that color, but please do not color-code every post you write here. It'll quickly become nauseating for us to look at. (Having stared at the colors myself so long while writing those messages, I've already come to regret it.)
4: It is now public knowledge that all anti-town roles have access to a Safelist of characters they can claim. (They must still come up with their own Roles for these characters.)

Contacting Me:

You may contact me regarding technical questions as to how your own role functions and how the role of any teammate or partner functions. You may also contact me at 'Night' with a brief post indicating your nighttime action, if you have one.
You may NOT contact me to ask strategic questions about what you 'should' do, how other roles in the game work, complain about how much you hate your role, complain about how I've balanced the game, complain about how much you hate your teammates or opponents, etc. Save that discussion for the postgame topic. Talking about that now risks me inadvertently leaking important information, so I simply won't respond.

-----

You have gathered here today, hats solemnly in hand, to witness the passing of one of your fellow Hatlanders, brutally murdered in the streets at night. As his grave is solemnly lowered, hat atop coffin, the Mayor stands up to say a few words. After he is finished with a poetic, beautiful speech on the meaning of life and who this fine Hatlander was, it takes about five minutes for the rest of you lunatics to get whipped into a lynch mob.

Oh well.

Day 1 start. 11 to lynch.
