Rules:
1- Night action deadline
All Night actions must be PM’ed to Bhaal or Cespenar at least 2 hours before night ends or they will not be accepted and your action will be skipped.

2- No outside of game discussion.
No PMs, no REP, no visitor msgs, no skype, etc. Not even with people not playing. Violators will be Modkilled.

Light-hearted discussion about general gameplay elements is acceptable, but any chat using hidden information or related to specific actions and strategies is a no-go. If you want to say 'Lol if I had a gun I would shoot -Player X-' then say that in day chat instead of cheating on skype like a coward.

3- Lurking / AFK:
A minimum of 3 meaningful posts per game day is required. Hello-posts and one-liners are not considered to be meaningful. Players who fail to post in the day chats will receive one warning for their first offence. If a player spends a second day lurking or AFK, they will be replaced or modkilled. If you are not available to post for a day, please PM Bhaal or Cespenar as to why and you'll receive a one-time free pass if a good reason is supplied.

4- Profiles
Invisible mode will be mandatory. You may not turn it off.

5- Lying about game/role mechanics:
Lying about game mechanics is allowed. Questions about the setup will not be responded to unless they are posted in green.

6- Modkills:
Will be replaced until the Reserve list is depleted. Some individuals who die early and have absolutely no more confirmed knowledge than anyone who read the day chats and the same puzzle chats as the person that is to be replaced might be able to replace someone as well. After that, it's death.

7- Names:
There shall be no claiming of one's players name (COM name for you older folk) nor any hunting for ones name. Violators will be modkilled. The no claiming of COM names only applies to day chats, puzzle chats, Warden chat, Heartwarder chat, interviews, last wills and death notes.

8- Communication with Bhaal and Cespenar:
We enjoy conversations with others, getting to know what is going through their heads when they make certain decisions. If you make the wrong choice for all the right reasons, it will not penalize you for LVP for example. Our conversations will remain private.

9- Images, Videos, Links, Annoying Formatting, etc:
Images - Permitted as long as they don't break any other rules... including forum rules.
Videos - Autoplay on videos is not permitted. You may not upload videos to youtube as that would reveal your name.
Links - Links to a forum post within the FM XIX subforum are permitted, please ask Bhaal or Cespenar for any other kind of link.
Invisible Ink, Marquee, spoiler, blackout - Permitted. More than 3 layers of spoilers will result in a warning/modkill.
Text hidden inside BBcode or vote tags themselves - Strictly disallowed and will result in a modkill without warning if found.

10- Use of avatars and signatures
You can change your avatar during the game if you want, but it can never be used to convey messages temporarily. Someone who reads the chat a few days later should not be missing information.
Signatures are disabled.

11- PMs from Bhaal or Cespenar
You may not post a screenshot of the PM. You may not quote private conversations with the hosts. You may quote (or fake) the contents of feedback PM's so long as any night chat account names and any passwords are omitted.

12- Quoting night chats
Quoting night chats is allowed, so long as night chat account names, subforum names and thread titles are omitted. Hinting at these will result in a warning/modkill.

From puzzle chats, you may only quote posts made by the hosts. You may also quote proposed solutions so long as you omit the names of the players that provided them.

13- Codes and Encrypted Messages
Codes must be approved by the host before usage. Simple codes (wordplay and start sentence with x) do not require approval.

14- Editing posts
Editing posts will not be possible. Not even in night chats.
Editing posts by moderators or admins other than Bhaal or Cespenar is not allowed and will result in modkills if detected.

15- Game throwing
If you are worried your strategy may seem like game-throwing, clear it with Bhaal or Cespenar first.
