UPick Pokémafia
[collapse=Picking Rules (finished)]Before I make the setup, I need to know what Pokemon people will pick!
Alignments will be randomized, so the Pokemon you pick will have no bearing on your alignment. Roles, however, have a chance to be influenced by your flavor. Keep in mind though that there will probably be Vanilla roles in this game, so don't be salty if yours ends up being such! (Unless, of course, you wanted a vanilla role...)
It's pretty simple. Send me a PM titled something like "Upick pokemafia choice" and tell me what Pokemon you would like to be for this game. It's not necessary, but sending more than one pick wouldn't hurt at all.
And I'm totally drawing all the role PMs in MSpaint
with my eyes closed

Rules
Fundamentals:
1.) HAVE FUN and do not personally attack another player in an offensive manner.
2.) Once you have died in the game, you are allowed to make 1 more generic post consisting of “bah go scum/town”.
3.) No communication about this game is allowed with non-players or players who are dead, even if you yourself are dead. (If you are dead, you may not discuss the game with anyone who is currently playing, even if you could while you were alive, unless your role specifically states otherwise).
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. This includes posting content outside of the game thread and linking to it in the game thread. Those of you who are repeat offenders of this (you know who you are) should know that I will not hesitate to modkill upon the discovery of ANY discussion outside of thread if your role PM does not allow it. Just don't do it, it ruins games.
5.) Do not edit your posts. Double posting is fine in its place.
6.) I reserve the right to deny anyone from signing up/replacing.
7.) You are not allowed to quote any mod communication of any kind, real or fake. You must paraphrase all information you wish to claim. This includes any additional PMs I may send to you outside of your role PM. You are not allowed to 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.).
8.) You may not post screenshots of any kind. ESPECIALLY not the picture in your role PM. You are allowed to post other pictures though.
9.) The use of non-English, invisible, hidden, coded, or otherwise intentionally hidden or indecipherable text is strictly prohibited. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. This rule is not meant to disallow breadcrumbing within the visible text of a message.)
10.) You may not quote logs of communication with other players. This includes hydras. You are free to paraphrase.
11.) Failure to send in your night action(s) will result in no action(s) being taken.
12.) Failure to adhere to the rules will result in replacement or modkill based on my discretion.
Voting and Lynching:
1.) Each Day, you may vote for a player to be lynched using a bold vote command. For example, Vote: Tom.
2.) To unvote, use the command unvote. For example, Unvote
3.) You do not have to unvote before voting another player.
4.) No lynch is a viable lynch choice and a majority will end the Day without a lynch. For example, Vote: No Lynch.
5.) Twilight Phase will be short or nonexistant. It will generally only last as long as it takes for me to post the flip.
6.) The Day will end when a majority lynch is decided or a preset deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached without a majority lynch decided, there will be no lynch.
7.) There is no posting in this thread during the Night phase. The thread should be closed anyway.
Activity and Deadlines:
1.) You are required to post every 48 hours. If you fail to do so, you will be prodded. An accumulation of too many prods (however much I think that is) will result in your replacement or a modkill depending on the circumstances. When feasible, I will tell you if I'm considering replacing/modkilling you. If you will be inactive for an extended period of time, you must notify me in advance. Unexcused or particularly long absences may result in your replacement or modkill.
2.) One deadline extension will be granted upon a majority request. You can do so in thread by typing Request Deadline Extension. In the event that this happens, the deadline will be extended for 48 hours. In the event I need to replace a player, I may extend the deadline to accommodate the new player. Certain game events may also result in a change of deadline.
3.) Days will generally last 9 days.
4.) The deadline for Night actions will generally be 48 hours. If you have a Night action and do not wish to use it, please send me a PM to that effect, lest I have to wait until the deadline for naught. Night Phase will generally go by more quickly if I receive all Night actions quickly.
5.) All deadlines will be posted in Eastern Standard Time. For example, Deadline is July 19th 11:59 PM EST.
Game-specific:
1.) The game mod is the game god. However, if you feel the game god happens to be testing your faith by placing an error in the game, then please feel free to point it out via PM.
2.) All alignments are assigned entirely at random. Roles may or may not be random.
3.) Modkills only end days if the player being modkilled is town-aligned. Otherwise, day continues. In the event that a player is modkilled during twilight/night, the modkill will affect the next day phase (meaning that day would automatically end if the player is town and that day would continue as normal if otherwise). Exceptions to this rule may be made based on the state of the game and my personal judgment.
4.) All of these rules are written on a dry erase board. In the event of a conflict between these rules and any game-specific rules or mod communication, the game-specific rules/mod communication take precedence.
5.) I confirm the absence of Jesters and other such unlikable win conditions. I confirm there is at least a Town and a Mafia faction.
6.) Hydra logs are not allowed to be posted.
7.) There will be a lot of "flavor" in this game, but try not to speculate on it too much.
8.) Do not post in the color Wheat, as that will be the game moderator's color.
thanks Kuz, I mostly stole this from your game[/collapse]
[collapse=Sample Role PM]Hello, Vanillish, and welcome to Upick Pokemafia!
You are Vanillish, the (Literally) Vanilla Townie!
I don't know what you were expecting when you sent me Vanillish as your flavor, but of course, you ended up with the Vanilla role! Vanillish... I really don't know what the creators were thinking when they made you. Maybe they were running low on ideas? Anyway, Vanillish is cool and all, but I prefer chocolate.
Passive Abilities: None.
Active Abilities: You have your voice and your vote. Use them wisely.
Win Condition: You are town aligned, and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.[/collapse]
