- All votes MUST be bolded. If your vote isn't bolded, it doesn't count. You are allowed to remove your vote at any time, but please do so in the format: Unvote: Player

- You are allowed to vote "No lynch". If a majority of players vote no lynch, the Day will end without anyone being lynched.

- Do not edit your posts. Once it's posted, it's posted. If you need to correct something, make another post.

- Do not post in this thread during the night phase.

- You may only talk about this game in this thread unless your role specifically states that you have additional communication options. This includes linking to other websites. All game-related communication must be done inside this thread.

- If you are dead, you are dead. Please do not post in this thread or talk about the game until it's over.

- Never directly quote or paste part of whole of a PM from the moderator. Paraphrasing is OK as long as the words are clearly your own.

- Don't ruin everyone else's fun or find loopholes in the rules.

- I reserve the right to place deadlines on lynches, night action choices, etc. I will extend, shorten or lift these deadlines as I see fit. All deadlines will be placed in an effort to keep activity at levels that are enjoyable for everyone.

- I'm the mod. Respect me and I'll respect you. Whatever I say goes, at least within the threshold of this game. Don't argue with me. If you absolutely think that something I did was unfair, and have some nice reasoning to back it up, take it up with me via PM. I WILL listen if your PM meets the aforementioned requirements. Leave the thread space for the actual game.

- Please do not change your username while you are playing this game. Your name is how people refer to you, so changing it can make communication difficult.

- And lastly, have fun! Play to win, but remember that even if discussion gets heated, we're all friends once the game ends.
