Forum Mafia GM
March 13th, 2014, 09:36 AM
Rules:
1- No Outside of Game Discussion:
No PMs, no Rep, no visitor msgs, no skype, etc. Not even with people not playing.
Violators will be mod-killed.
2- Lurking / AFK:
I expect everyone to be able to post at least once during the day. The only exception to this rule is if the day ends before the 24 hour mark.
3- Profiles:
Invisible mode will be mandatory. You may not turn it off.
4- Avatars
I want everyone to have an avatar. Therefore, I defaulted everyone's avatar to their country's flag. You are welcome to change it to whatever you want during Day 1 and Night 1.
Please refrain from changing your avatar throughout the game.
5- Questions:
Questions MUST be asked in Lime Green. They will be ignored otherwise.
The FAQ will remain updated with answers to questions asked in game.
6- Post Content:
Posts must be in English. Exceptions include in-game made codes (see 8- Codes and Encrypted Messages), and common phrases from other languages that are used in English conversations.
7- Images, Videos, Links, Annoying Formatting, etc:
Images - Are not permitted. You should not be able to post one, but may not if you are able to find a way.
Videos - Are not permitted. You should not be able to post one, but may not if you are able to find a way.
Links - Links to a forum post are permitted. A link to anything else is strictly forbidden.
Marquee, spoiler, blackout and other BBcode - Permitted but please do not abuse & your votes may be void if the [vote] bbcode doesn't pick up your vote.
Invisible Ink - Permitted, but I hope you get lynched for using it.
8- Codes and Encrypted Messages:
No code or encryption may be created with the use of a program or website. Pencil and paper is just fine. If you manage to make a mathematical cipher that encrypts a message, then I'm OK with it since it will be very hard to hide the fact that you are sending a secret message if you type a bunch of gibberish. You may even use the invisible ink, due to the high risk of exposure from someone quoting you. Note that Rule #1 ALWAYS applies.
9- Behavior:
I expect all players to act maturely and use common sense when posting. That being said, this is Mafia and it is understood that insults can be effective day chat tools. I will contact you via PM to discuss questionable posts.
Behavior deemed inappropriate will result in an infraction on your main account. Repeat offenders will be slaughtered (mod-killed).
10- Lying about game/role mechanics:
100% permitted. However, if someone asks about it in the FAQ, then I will give the correct answer.
11- Mod-kills:
Will be replaced until the Reserve list is depleted, then the player will be fed to Jormungandr (mod-killed).
12- COM Names:
There shall be no claiming of one's players name (COM name) nor any hunting for ones name. This includes all night chats.
Violators will be mod-killed.
13- Communication with the FM Game Master:
I 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. Do not expect any substantial replies.
14- PMs from the GM:
You may not post a screen shot of the PM. You may also not directly quote anything I write to you. You may paraphrase.
15- Passwords:
It is recommended that you do not change your password. If I ever find that I need access to your account and can't access it using your password, it will be reset back to the original password.
If you are a role that takes over accounts, then the password will always be your original password.
If your account is only temporarily taken over, it will be reset back to your original password.
For these reasons, it's advised that you remember your password or keep it written down somewhere.
