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.
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.
If at any time during the day any player has a majority the possible votes on him (e.g., with nine players alive, five or more is a majority), the day ends immediately and that player is lynched. Any player who believes a player has reached majority should post "
night", and all other posting should cease while the vote count is confirmed. THERE IS NO MAJORITY LYNCH ON DAY ONE. It begins on day two.
Day and Night Times
All times give are server time, which is also Eastern Standard Time.
StuckinARutt will open the thread every morning by posting "
It is day." You may not post in the thread until one of us has made the morning post. Day will usually start around
9:00 AM.
Day lasts until
9 PM. Posting at
9 PM 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 no "night" Saturday night - the thread remains open from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. There is no scheduled Saturday night lynch.
There is no maj lynch until Must-lynch

Wolves have 24-hour wolfchat and may communicate with each other by any means they desire during
wolf chat.

Must Lynch
Once you vote, your vote is locked, and you may not switch or unvote
