Marquis/Rules

These rules, taken and modified with permission from GuyInFreezer (who took them from an even longer list of people), apply to most of the games I moderate. If your game rules link here, these also apply to that game.

They have been collected here for convenience's sake. If anything seems out of place, you can check my most recent edit and/or PM me.

Behavioral Rules

• If you have a question for me, you can always PM me. If you need to talk to me in thread, please bold your question so I can locate it better.

• Do not use small, hard-to-read, or encoded text, or post in a language that cannot be understood by most people in the game.

• Do not directly quote from any private topics, or link to private game-specific information sources (mainly referring to spreadsheets, docs, etc.). Loose paraphrasing is fine, but I reserve the right to determine if each instance of paraphrasing is an abuse of this exception.

• Do not attempt to impersonate me, through font formatting or other means.

• Do not use provable randomization in this game. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tag is not.

• If you break any of these rules, I will punish you at my will. This can range from a simple warning to a modkill/force-replace.

• If I feel like it, I always have a right to add/modify the rules. If I do, I will fully explain the reason behind such action.

• Play nice; you should know when you're crossing the line. (This rule is probably written in your game as well. It's important.)

Technical Rules

• You control your vote through the [b]bold[/b] or [vote]Marquis[/vote]/[unvote]Marquis[/unvote] tags. An unvote is not required to change your vote.

• If I see a vote and think it's a vote, it's a vote. No tricks allowed.

• For insurance that your vote/unvote will be seen, please put it on its own line. Though I use Ctrl+F, I will not be held responsible if a vote hidden within other text goes unseen.

• Lynch happens when half of the players + 1 vote the same person. Once lynch happens, the lynchee and the living players may talk in "Twilight" until I arrive and post the flip.

• If you are killed, you are allowed ONE post devoid of game-related information during the next Day phase.

• If the deadline is over before majority hits, the day will end with No Lynch.

• If you do not submit a night action, it will count as No Action (unless your role states otherwise).

• If you will be on Vacation/Limited Access, please tell me beforehand; either post it in the thread, or PM it to me.

• If enough phases pass without a lynch or death, I will warn the game of a potential forced end.
