Immutable

General

• This is the ruleset for this game; all players must follow it.
• [insert names here] are the moderators of this game and have supreme power over its proceedings.
• Rules in the Immutable section cannot be edited by proposal. Please do not try to circumvent them.
• Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly to actually breaking the rules.
• Follow all site rules.
• Play to win.
• Treat others as you would like them to treat you. Heated discussion is fine, personal attacks are not.
• Quoting out-of-game communication (e.g. your Role PM or Mafia PT) is forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
• Don't use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts (except where required by the ruleset).
• Don't use any form of provable randomness (e.g. dice tags) except where required by the ruleset. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing proof that you did isn't.
• If you have the ability to edit or delete your posts, do not do so.
• The moderators' decisions are final.

Activity

• You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 48 hours. Players who go 48 hours without posting will be prodded.
• If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if you have to be prodded 3 or more times, you will be replaced at the moderators' discretion.
• If you're being replaced for inactivity and post in the game thread before a replacement is found for you, you get to stay.
• If you want to be replaced, send me a PM requesting replacement and do not talk about it at all in the main thread.
• Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
• If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM one of the moderators. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer, you may be replaced.

Mafia

• There are 10 Town members and 3 Mafia members in this game.
• All players start the game alive. Upon the start of the game, you are privately informed of your alignment.
• Upon dying, your alignment is publicly revealed in the game thread (unless stated otherwise).
• Dead players may not post in the game thread or any private topics with the exception of the dead thread.
• The game starts at the Day phase. Once the Day ends, Night begins.
• Once per night, the Mafia may nightkill a living player; that player will die at the end of the Night.
• Day phases will last for a maximum of 14 days. Night phases will last for a maximum of two days.
• Town wins when all members of the Mafia are dead. Mafia wins when every member of the Town is dead or when nothing can prevent that from happening.
