Global Rules:
0. I am the host of the game, and my word is law. I reserve the right to warn, substitute or modkill anyone breaking the rules. The severity of action taken will be proportionate with the severity of the infraction.

1 (a). You can only talk about the game in the game thread unless specified otherwise. Once you are dead you cannot talk to anyone about the game. This includes liking posts. Knowledge acquired after death cannot be transferred from a dead player to a living player.
1 (b). Outside influences (eg. Threatening, bribes, wagers, promises, alliances, trust tells) are not tolerated and will be dealt with severely. Do not use dice or other luck-based methods to determine your actions.

2. (a) Only sign up if you know you're going to be at least fairly active. Take note of and abide by any minimum activity requirements.
2. (b) Do not deliberately play against your win condition. Do not manipulate others to play against their wincondition.
2. (c). Sportmanship should be shown. Salting, raging or ranting will not be tolerated. At the end of the day, mafia is played for fun.

3. Role PMs may not be shown to other users at any time. All forms of sharing of role PMs is banned. If anyone finds a person encouraging others to share their role PMs or sharing role PMs themselves, please be sure to report it. Do not use role PMs to scumhunt.

4. (a) Do not try to exploit any loopholes or circumvent the rules.
4. (b) Angleshooting is prohibited. This is included but not limited to submeta, hostmeta and using out of game information to form reads.
4. (c) Do not mislead the host or do anything to interfere with the host's ability to run the game smoothly.

5. This game will be using Snaq's VC Bot. Instructions on how to use it can be found here (x | x)

6. Do not edit or delete your posts, if you need to correct something make another post.

7. (a) I might not be in time to end day at deadline or hammer. In this case the game will enter into Twilight. You are allowed to post but not allowed to vote or unvote users.
7. (b) Night talking is disallowed (after the Night Phase is officially declared by the Host).

Any rule breaches will be judged at the discretion of hosts/staff.
