Basic Rules:
The rules here are very similar to the Supernatural Mafia rules set, with some tweaks to represent the flavor of this game.
Roles: Obviously there is no set role list. I will try to grant powers at least somewhat related to the animal, but don't be surprised if I take a somewhat unusual approach. After all, these are Spirit Animals, not the actual creature.
All players are
Town Aligned unless noted otherwise in their Role PM.
Quoting the Mod without permission results in a Modkill and a ban from the next game I run.
PMs are not allowed unless your Role specifically allows it.
Days will go for 72 hours (Ignoring weekends) or until everyone has voted (if there is a long period of inactivity after everyone votes I'll end the day to keep things moving).
In the event of a tie, no lynch will occur.
Night will go for 24 hours, though that's somewhat flexible. If you do not have your action in within the 24 hours you run the risk of losing your action for the night, though. If you choose not to use your action, please send that instead of just waiting for me to get on with the night without you.
Extensions: Extensions require at least 25% of the living players requesting an extension. Votes against the extension will reduce the counted number requesting (so, of 8 players if 3 vote for an extension and one votes against it it's still 2 for, which is 25%, which grants the extension.)
Extensions will extend the day by 24 hours. No more then two extensions will be granted on any given game day.
Shortening works similar to Extensions but requires a majority of players to actually occur, due to the huge effect a shortening can have no the game.
All votes should be colored
red to make it easy for me to spot them.
In the event of a tie, a
No-Lynch will occur.
Speaking While Dead: The 'dead' may post once after they have died to comment on their death. They may not provide any information about the game in this post. After this, any posting in the game before it has ended will result in a one game ban from future games. Repeated abuse, or posts that have a major impact on the game, can result in a permaban from any future games.
You don't actually die in this one, you're just kicked out of the spirit realm.
Scum will have special chat areas on
http://www.quicktopic.com. I will PM the appropriate link to you at the start of the game or when you die.
There will be a 'Dead' chat for players who have been knocked out of the spirit realm. Chat away.
Event Order: The order of events is generally as follows:
Misdirection
Role-blocking
Protection
Investigations
Night Kills/Conversions
All kills will be effectively simultaneous. (I may make some literary liberties with this in the PMs, though)
