Welcome to Bioware Mafia, a game drawing from characters from around Bioware's library of games. I'll pretty this post up some and add some missing things tomorrow or so, but I wanted to get the basics up and get confirmations moving tonight, so I decided to slack off a bitXD
Rules
Fundamental
1. Thou shalt put no other mods before me, and therefore inactivity in this game is not excusable by activity in other games. If you have a dispute with me, you will let me know privately through PM or instant messaging. Sometimes I will make simple mistakes, as I am human. If you believe this has happened or you have any questions, please address them in the thread in bold.
2. Xiivi is my co-mod. He may regularly vote-count and answer mod questions.
3. Once you have died in the game, you may make one final post, which should consist of 'bah, go town/scum'.
4. Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread, regardless of whether or not that person is in the game and whatnot.
5. Please do not edit your posts. Edits will be reversed.
6. I reserve the right to deny anyone from signing up/replacing.
7. Do not personally attack another player. 1st offense will be given a warning. 2nd offense will have the person either replaced or modkilled.
8. Do not quote any PMs sent to you by me in the thread. This includes any additional PMs I may send to you outside of your role PM. Doing so will get you modkilled.
9. You are allowed to quote mod PMs privately to any member that you are allowed to communicate with outside this thread.
10. Do not post hidden text. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. Posting text with the intent to hide it from other players, e.g. by changing the text color to resemble the page background, is not permitted.)
11. Do not post in code.
12. You must post in English.
13. Do not post screenshots [print screens] or anything resembling a screenshot [print screen].
14. Do not quote logs of communication with other players.
15. You may privately notify me via PM if you feel another player has violated any rule.
16. Do not post or refer to any images in your role PM, nor may you post metadata about mod PMs in an attempt to break the game (e.g., message ID in the URL, time of day the message was sent, etc.).
Voting and Lynching
1. Each Day, you may vote for a player to be lynched using a bold vote command. For example, Vote: Gheb.
2. When changing your vote, you must unvote your previous vote before you revote. Unvote Vote: Xiivi.
3. No lynch is a viable lynch choice and a majority will end the Day without a lynch. For example, Vote: No Lynch.
4. The Day will end when a majority lynch is decided or a pre-set deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached without a majority lynch decided, there will be no lynch.
5. Do not post during Night.
Activity and Deadline
1. Treat this game as a commitment. You are requested to post at least once every 72 hours. Failure to do so will result in a prod. 3 prods in one Game Day, or 5 prods in the entire game, will result in your replacement if it is D1 or D2, and possible modkill if it is D3 or later. If you have a pre-planned absence, then please notify me ahead of time and you will not be prodded. However if your absence is for an unreasonable amount of time, you may be forcibly replaced regardless of advance notification.
2. The players may majority vote for a deadline extension. This can only be done once.
3. Extensions will be given depending on the circumstances, such as an 11th-hour replacement.
4. No one will be modkilled for inactivity should the game be in an objectively identifiable LYLO/MYLO situation unless a modkill is requested by the players.
5. Disobeying any of these rules may result in your mod-kill.
Game-specific
* All roles are assigned entirely at random.
* There are no jesters in this game.
* There are no survivors in this game.
* There are no politicians in this game.
* Modkills only end days if the player being modkilled is town-aligned. Otherwise, day continues.
* The town's win condition is: you are town aligned and win when all threats to the town are eliminated.
