POG Werewolf Rules

For more details, please see Werewolf Rules And Etiquette

• As long as the game is ongoing, you may only talk about the game inside the game thread
• You may only post in the game thread when it is DAY
• You may only post when you are alive
• If you have a role which allows you to communicate outside the game thread, then you may do so only when allowed by your role, and only with individuals specified by your role
• You may not edit or delete posts in the game thread for any reason at any time
• You may not quote, post screenshots of, or directly refer to private communications from the mod in a way that conveys the specific form or exact composition of the message
• You are expected to participate
• You are expected to be familiar with the rules, and you are expected to abide by them even if you think they are incorrect
• You are expected to behave civilly

Werewolf is a game about lying and catching people lying. It's an adversarial game and arguments between players are normal and expected. Passion and Intensity are fine but excessively personal attacks or insults are not. Even in a werewolf game you must respect the forum rules about civility. Failure to do so may cause you to be infracted or temp banned, and repeated problems may get you perma-banned.

Werewolf is also a community and team-based game. While there are many styles and strategies and reasons for playing and you may choose your own, you are expected to be respectful of the time and energy others put in as players and as moderators. You are expected to play to win. Intentionally sabotaging your team, or choosing strategies with the sole purpose of trolling other players in the game is not allowed.[/indent]
PMs:

Voting

Each day, each player is allowed (and encouraged) to vote to lynch a player. To do so, type the name of the player in bold; if you want to be sure the moderator sees it, you could be so kind as to write something like "vote: Zurvan", but it is not required.You may abbreviate the name of the player, provided it is clear to other players (and the moderator) whom you mean.

You may remove your vote by posting "unvote". You may change your vote simply by voting the new player; you do not need to unvote.

At the end of the scheduled game day, the player with the most votes is lynched, and his role revealed in the thread. If two or more players are tied for the most votes, one of the tied players is chosen randomly by the moderator.

NO MAJORITY LYNCH UNTIL MUST LYNCH

Day and Night Times
All times give are server time, which is also Eastern Daylight Time.

I will open the thread every morning by posting "It is day." You may not post in the thread until I have made the morning post. Day will usually start at 9 A.M.

Day lasts until 7 P.M. (19:00). Posting at 7 P.M. (19:00) is acceptable, and votes with that time stamp will be counted. Posting after that, even just a minute after, is not acceptable, even if I have not yet declared it night by posting "It is night." Do not post in the thread at any time, for any reason, between the end of the day and the opening of the thread the next morning.

Weekends are different: There is not "night" Saturday night -- the thread remains open from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. There is no scheduled Saturday night lynch.

Questions and Confirmation

Any questions regarding the rules should be submitted to the moderator by PM ONLY

Must Lynch

AT MUST LYNCH THERE IS NO UNVOTING OR VOTE CHANGING

This is a post restricted game. Each player may only make 30 posts per game-day. You will have a vote added to your tally for each post you make after 30. Vote counts do not count as posts for this purpose.

IT IS NIGHT

These villains are terrorizing Gotham. Can Batman and the police stop them?

NIGHT

The mod is a ****ing idiot and forgot to use BCC. I'm obviously re-randing the game. Your new PM will have "re-rand" in the subject.

The RERANDED PMs have all been sent out. Please let me know if you did not get one. Again, please ignore the initial PMs, and use only the RERANDED ones.

This is a slow game. The first lynch will be tomorrow night.

IT IS DAY

evening all!

good to be in another game.

most of the players are new to me [and me to them i guess]
so should be an interesting time.

Hi Fixated. Nearly everyone's new to me too, although I've been watching a few play in Novaya Zemlya.

Let's hope the interesting time isn't the sort from the Chinese Curse!

Let's go get 'em Gotham!

whenever we lynch a wolf/baddy/criminal we should go KAPOW!
or other descriptive phrase from the 60s Batman series.

Hey guys, let's find some wolves.

Fixated, loved the avatar

Hello!

So, obviously conserving your posts is much more important this game than it is in every other game. As a result, rereads should be easier and the thread should be far less bloated than it is in normal games.

Because there are post restrictions (and as far as I can tell, posts with only votes do count), it is important that we get wagons rolling as soon as possible.

Tanaer, are you a gimmick? I don't really care if you are, but if you'd be so kind as to inform us all exactly how much experience you have playing werewolf, that would be wonderful.

My vote is for McAvoy, who is a +EV lynch d1 pretty much regardless of his role.

Obviously this also goes without saying, but no person should reach their exact post limit before EOD. Treat the post restriction as if it's a 29 post restriction. It is very obvious why this is true. I (and hopefully others) will treat it as extremely wolfy if you reach your post limit (or very close to it) early on in the day, as this is a proven strategy for wolves to employ.

thanks for noting that vote posts counted. i'd miss read it and assumed that votes or change of votes could be made after the 30 was reached.

i've played with McAvoy, Felix, Variance, tappokone before and always thought they always stuck me as wolfy [even when they weren't ]

3 games a villager and 1 wolf [aborted due to the great POG hack]

so still a relative newbie.

due to timezone i'll post at strange times and may miss end of day but will keep some posts in case i can make end of day.

ok. midnight now. i hope there are some posts and discussion for me to read through tomorrow. night all.

Hiya, folks. People I haven't played with before should feel free to study my recent games here, here, and here. They're all villager games, given that I do not wolf.

Now, call me crazy, but I have a good feeling about BJ, Forsythio, UFO, Henrik, and Larry. Oh, never mind.

Hi guys..randed villager...first slow game and first poast restriction game...lettuce go
