For some rules, I will modkill people who do not follow them. Modkilling means I, the Game Moderator, will crush them like grapes, rendering them dead in the eyes of the game. (For milder offences, however, I may give you a warning or replace you instead the first time.) Note that modkill = loss, no exceptions. These rules are as follows:
Be a good sport.: Listen to this: Bad conduct can affect others more than you think. Whining about your situation in the game can not just annoy fellow players, it can ruin the whole experience. After all, this section is all about having fun.
http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f362/bw-mafia-well-longest-night-ever-%5Bd7-spring-7-23-11%5D-112389/index22.html Do not, under any circumstances, show us your role PM (even if it's altered): That means no posting it in the thread, in the Quicktopic, capsizing it, quoting a sentence from it, sending a PM or VM of it to someone else, trying to post it while I'm sleeping and then deleting it before I see it, no nothing. Violating this rule is the absolute worst thing you can do here; violation of PM rule = modkill, no exceptions. The only time you may ever post your role PM is when the game is over.
Be active: Unless you're a sub not yet placed in the game, lurking is frowned upon here. Every player should participate. I will put a substitute in your place (or if not applicable, modkill you) if you are absent from play for five phases (using your role power counts as being "in play") without informing me first. After four straight phases of absence, I will VM you asking if you would still like to play.
Do not mention who your role is based on, in public or private: You can name actions (e.g. cop, doctor, vanilla, spy, diviner, etc.) but no names. Vague hints are fine, but if I could pinpoint your role identity within four hints without knowing any of the names, then it is unacceptable.
Other rules include:
I: I would like copies of your PMs, please. Conversing, planning, predicting, anything (unless I really don't want to see it; in that case, keep it). I ask for the same reason everyone else does; to watch for mischief and other things.
II: No posting regularly after death (i.e. "zombie-posting" as coined by Neoflare and then plagiarized by yours truly). Some "last words" should be good enough.
III: If you change your name in the game, please post it in the thread (shooting me a VM about it is optional) to avoid confusion.
IV: As long as you don't post your role PM, roleclaiming is fine and dandy with me (just try not to be stupid about it and screech something like "I'm the doctor!").
Zekrom: *snorts*
V: For night actions: you may change the target, as long as it's before I change it to daytime.
