[*] Adhere to all [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6470]site rules[/url].
[*] Always play to win.
[*] Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not. Comment on play, not player.
[*] Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
[*] Do not quote any private communication regarding this game—this includes your role PM, other mod communication, posts from private threads, etc. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you're unsure, ask me first.
[*] If you need to get my attention, please include "[b]@mod[/b]" in your post or PM me.
[*] [color=#00BFFF][b]This[/b][/color] (#00BFFF) is my color. You can use it, if you want, but please don't try to impersonate me.
[*] Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
[*] Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.
[*] Day 1 will last for 10 days, with all further days lasting for 7 days. Any day will end when a majority is reached.
[*] Do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread.
[*] If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.

[*] Have fun![/list]

[color=#00BFFF][b]VOTING[/b][/color]

[list=1]

Normal Game, Simple

Adapted mainly from here, though it looks a little different now. Obviously you'll need to substitute in your own VT role PM unless you decide to go with my same formatting. I have Day deadlines set at 12 real life days. Private thread rules may also need to be set on a game by game basis.
