The rules vary from game to game. However, most moderators do adhere to these:
General Rules:
1) DO NOT EDIT. Editing posts screws up the vote tallies. Action will be taken against people who edit posts, up to and including unfortunate accident.
2) Day and Night phases may or may not have time limits on them. This all depends on the type of game and who is moderating it.
3) Any person can claim to be any role if they wish. Lying about your role is certainly permitted. Keep in mind that you may run the risk of getting killed if you're a role that threatens the other team.
4) If you need to quit, let the moderator know A.S.A.P. We'll try to find someone to replace your role. Do not suicide in the thread, please.
Communication Rules:
1) If your role does not allow it, NO PRIVATE COMMUNICATION. If you are contacted privately by any person with information or analysis about the game, let me know and the player will suffer an unfortunate accident.
2) Do not thumb posts of other players at any time! Contact me if someone thumbs your post. Anyone found thumbing will suffer an unfortunate accident.
3) If you are dead, you are permitted to make (1) one farewell post. Your post cannot contain any information you've learned, nor any analysis of things that have taken place. Do not say anything like "Check out who I had been suspicious of" or anything similar. This farewell post should be more of a "Darn, Go Town/mafia"-type post. This is perhaps the most-violated rule. Violation of this rule may result in banning from future games, so please, keep the death posts light. This rule extends to mafia as well! Dead mafia cannot assist in any manner with analysis, decisions, or any other thing. No communication is permitted between dead mafia and living mafia, aside from the farewell post previously mentioned.
4) Living mafia members can communicate privately at any time, day or night, through private messages or the private forum which they will be given.
5) No posting in the thread by any person during the Night phase. Violators will suffer an unfortunate accident. Night phase begins when the moderator posts saying so (following a lynch).
Lynch Rules:
1) Each player may submit a lynch vote in the thread like this, in bold: Vote: playername. You can also unvote by: Unvote: playername. Bolding is done like this: [ b ] Vote: playername [ / b ] without the spaces inside the brackets. Please bold all votes. Only bolded votes will be counted. A simple majority will cause a lynch, and the player's role will be revealed by the moderator.
2) When a simple majority is reached, the lynch is locked in and we enter Twilight. Subsequent unvotes cannot reverse a lynch that reached majority, even if the moderator has not yet stated the death.
3) A majority choosing to Vote: No Lynch will end the day without a lynch and we will proceed to night.
In the event of a deadlocked vote (equal number of town and mafia), mafia wins. The same is true for the Serial Killer. If at any time two people are left and one is the Serial Killer, the Serial Killer wins.
**Because each game has a different setup, the rules tend to change from game to game. Some moderators enforce the day phase time limit, while others do not. The moderator of a game should include any different rules if not the above rules. If you are confused about any rules for a particular game, please IM the moderator of that game. The Forum moderator will not have the answers.**
