RULES AND WHATNOT


Gameplay
1. All players are limited to 30 posts per phase (M+A+F+I+A = 13 + 1 + 6 + 9 + 1 = 30).
1A. At the end of each phase, the thread will be locked momentarily so the host can screenshot post counts.
1B. All players are responsible for monitoring their post limit for each phase. Exceeding 30 posts during a day phase will be punished by invalidating your role power the following night. Exceeding 30 posts during a night phase will be punished by invalidating your vote the following day.
2. Days are 24 hours long.
3. Nights are 24 hours long. Getting night PMs in to the host in a timely fashion helps to keep things moving.
4. Only those players who have BTSC may communicate with each other outside of the game thread but ONLY in designated BTSC threads or chat rooms. For everyone else, no game-related discussion is permitted outside the game thread.
5. Votes in the poll are the only votes that count. It's helpful but not mandatory that you declare your vote in the thread in a way that stands out to the host.
6. All votes are changeable all the way up to the deadline.
7. A tied day poll will result in no death. Votes matter. There will be no coin flips to determine poll results.
8. There is no hammer vote element in this game.
9. Dead is dead; you don't get to come back from that. Dead players will have their BTSC rights removed.
10. Roles will be revealed upon death.
11. Additional gameplay elements will be added/revealed on an as-needed basis.
12. I will probably end phases between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. EST for this game. Any earlier is a challenge for me with getting the kids to bed.
13. Individual role powers must always be submitted by the individual player holding the role. Teammates (civvie, baddie, and indy) may not submit a teammate's individual role power on their behalf.
14. Unless otherwise specified in communication from the host, my personal philosophy is that individual players and factions may choose to abstain from using personal and/or factional power actions during the course of a game.


Rules
1) Respect your fellow players, your host, and your Facilitator.
1a) Don't be an asshat.
1b) Don't get butthurt.
2) If you feel like another player is out of line or making/taking things personal/ly, contact the Facilitator, Sloonei.
3) No BTSC regarding the game outside of the game thread(s). Players are told in their rolecard if they have BTSC. If you don't have it, don't engage in it. Violating this rule will result in a modkill.
4) No editing or deleting posts.
5) Self-voting is prohibited.
6) Double-targeting of any kind is prohibited.
7) Info-dumping and/or power-role-claiming is permitted. You may not, however, post your rolecard or any other host communication verbatim.
8) Off-topic posts should be in OT Green.
9) Dead players are to post in Dead Red.
10) Non-Players should post in Non-Player Blue.
11) This is the host's color. Do not post in this color.
12) Participation is polite to everyone involved. If I feel you may not be paying attention to the game, I will reach out to you. Replacements and modkills may be employed if necessary. If you sign up, please play. If you can't play, request replacement.
13) Additional rules will be added/revealed on an as-needed basis.

Hell On eArth

The newly elected board members stormed down the hallway of the township building in pursuit of the Lenker brothers. The angry voices of their fellow homeowners echoed out the meeting room doors and down the hall.

The meeting had been a total shit show, which wasn’t too far from the norm for the Lenkers, but this was a new low. They came prepared to pull a fast one at light speed, and their lawyer certainly made that possible. It wouldn’t have surprised them if this was how they dealt with all of the neighborhoods they swindled into existence. The Lenkers’ lawyer knew all the tricks of parliamentary procedure and moved the transition of governance of Piano Estates over to the homeowners in exactly 17 minutes and 12 seconds.

The greedy property management representative, who they would later learn was a cousin of the Lenker boys, seemed to take glee in raising his price every time someone interjected during his three minutes. He priced himself out of the market quickly and also lit a fire under the homeowners to push through a half-assed election of officers that was both contentious and controversial. Nobody felt good about how things went down, and the new board was going to make sure the Lenkers knew that before they could slither off into the night for good.

“Just what in the hell was that you just pulled?” one of the board member yelled at the Lenkers as they climbed into the overcompensating oversized pickup trucks.

“A business transaction,” Corey Lenker replied from the safety of his truck.

“Our lawyer has copies of all the necessary documents for you,” Justin Lenker replied. “Maybe you should go back inside and start reading them.”

“Maybe I should drag you out of that truck and kick your ass right here in the parking lot, you beady-eyed piece of shit,” another board member shouted. To be fair, both Lenker brothers were indeed beady-eyed pieces of shit.

“Look,” Corey Lenker said, “we’re sorry about the abruptness of all this, but we have no choice. We want out and we’ve sold more than enough of the required homes in Phase 3 to execute our rights as developers.”

There was a curious look in Corey’s pale eyes. For the first time, the board members saw none of the usual calculation and scheming they were accustomed to. This was the look of raw fear.

“Why?” someone shouted. “Just tell us why so suddenly and help us understand.”

“I’ll tell you why,” Corey replied.

“Corey, don’t” Justin interjected.

“We’re out because it’s not safe for us anymore.”

“Corey, shut up,” Justin barked.

“What the hell does that mean?” asked someone else.

“We don’t need to be mixed up with the mob, okay?”

“God dammit Corey,” Justin screamed.

“The mob?” someone laughed. “Really?”

“Yeah,” Corey sneered. “Some of you assholes have connections that we want nothing to do with.”

“Who told you that?” another board member asked.

“Word gets around, Corey said. “Developers compete but we also talk to each other. Everybody has connections and we’ve got wind of some of the people we’ve sold to. We’re out, now good night.” He rolled his window up and started his truck.

“Oh now you shut your fat face,” Justin groaned.

Three of the board members stepped in front of Justin’s truck, just in case he was thinking of taking off suddenly. He could be the reasonable one, if you applied the right amount of pressure.

“And what are we supposed to do about this information?” someone asked him. “You know word will get around. People are going to panic and turn on each other.”

“I’ll offer you this,” Justin said. “Anyone buying a home with an HOA is bound to the covenants, by-laws, and use restrictions whether they read them or not. End of story.”

“What does that mean?”

“Go read your covenants and pay special attention to page 37. There’s a little something in there that might help you when you sort out who’s who. Good night folks and good luck.”

The board members stepped away, not satisfied but aware that the Lenkers would be of no more use to them this evening. Their trucks pulled away, growling with all the overpowered diesel fury that money could buy to cover up their insecurities.

“Now what?” someone asked.

“Let’s get reading.”

--------------------------------------------------------

DAY 0 HAS BEGUN.

Goood day 0 everybody.

I watched some movies earlier tonight and drank some wine. So my weekends going pretty good

how are ya'll?

[chardonnay]

I think every game i've played/modded one this site invloved Long Con in some way. This is fascinating me to no ends, that man is everywhere

Nanook as well i believe, has been involved a great deal in my games here! maybe all of them?

Has anybody ever low-key wanted to SR a player because of their pfp?

I'm sure there've been unconscious biases. Anyone in particular?

[chardonnay]

its not a SR but poisen not longer having that dancing chibi dancing character is throwing me off big time.

i may have a tendency to wanna SR ppl with pics of cute animals as thier avies

[chardonnay]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I have a TMI civilian read on Long Con. I just clicked around a decent pile of recent/semi-recent games. Mafia-aligned Long Con tended to be more to-the-point on Days 0, either by digging into game-relevant "solving" or just making stilted fluff posts. When he was a civilian he tended to be more willing to goof around, was more visibly at ease with his life, and seemed less stilted.

Space Invaders is one exception where as a civilian he made game-relevant posts right away, though he entered the game with someone already calling for his head (dunya) before he'd even posted.

[fingersplints]

Hello all, glad to see the game has started. I haven’t had a chance to read everything yet, but have done some quick skimming. A lot is how I remember, but some will take a little getting used to.

eh, you remember dancing bald chibi poison with her round tummy ? I don't remember playing with you though?

How can people even make reads so fast? what sorcery is this?

Having reads on someone this early does seem a bit odd to me, but I don’t know if it’s odd behaviour from what I remember from JJJ. I am naturally wary of both him and LC because they are both formidable players.

What is new to you right now and what hasn't changed?


@Enrique SR = scumread

[fingersplints]

What is new to you right now and what hasn't changed?

In regards to the rules and what not. Most are as I remember however I haven’t played a lot where info dropping/role claiming is allowed.

It's a Rick Roll-esque fakeout that made Grogu think the game had started, I think.

You might think I would intend to try and be less serious when I do roll scum, but all I want to do now is be more stilted and less goofy in my town openings.

Baby Yolo

Anyway I've stared at the game's 4 posts for a while and barely have any other reads. Long Con is a civilian read. If I squeeze hard enough I could say that for fingersplints and Poison too. A game with these post restrictions might require extra squeezing, so hopefully my gut reads aren't garbage.

[Scirrus]

First! I never had this honor. ToWn

At first, one might see this as a town claim,

Lettuce take a look at which letter is capitalized beside the obvious T

It is:

Why do you think that is? I come from a site where one of the regular players often suspects that people change their avi's to cute characters in order to be townread, although personally I haven't seen that actually be a thing

Having reads on someone this early does seem a bit odd to me, but I don’t know if it’s odd behaviour from what I remember from JJJ. I am naturally wary of both him and LC because they are both formidable players.

Is there anything else you remember about them?

For what it's worth, I don't think JJJ having a read this early is too strange bc it's grounded in something specific that he explained which makes *enough* sense to me. And if what he said about LC's meta isn't true, I'd imagine someone else who's played a lot with him would chime in.

@Poison what do you think of JJJ's read on LC?

[Scirrus]

wait why do you say this is TMI?
