1. Normal FM and Forum rules are in effect. Don't spam. Don't disrespect your fellow players. Do not post in the game thread if you are not a living player, no angleshooting, so on and so forth. See here and here if reminders are needed.
2. Day/Night Phases will be 72 hours long. Dusk/Dawn Phases will be 24 hours long.
3. Prod timers are 24 hours long. There IS a content requirement- votes made without any discernible given reason as a prod dodge AND/OR posts that amount only to fluff and no real stance on the game itself will still result in you being prodded at our discretion. Failure to act appropriately in the thread to a prod within 12 hours, or being prodded a third time will result in your replacement.
4. This will not be a bastard game. Your role card will not lie to you, your win conditions will be explicitly clear as written, and do not change throughout the course of the game. The moderators will not be participants in this game and will not influence the game beyond those actions typically committed in the spirit of fairness and impartiality. As this is a closed game, there might be some mechanics not every player is aware of, but any players directly involved in such elements will be fully aware of what is happening.
5. Flavor will be present in your role card, and between phases. Flavor will not, however, be present in actual gameplay. Flavor will not help Town discover Mafia, and Mafia cannot use flavor to blend in with the Town. There will also be very strict, swift, and harsh punishments for people who try to use flavor aspects in their role card to try to self-clear or to get others killed. Modkilling will very much be used if necessary, and we will not be patient with people who try to press their luck with this.
(On the flavor rule:)

6. Rickdaily12 and ejjinami will be your hosts for this game. #800000 is my color code and #808080 is hers, so please do not use them.
1. This will be a unique style of closed Dual Mafia game. Instead of classic Day and Night phases, where two Mafia factions each submit a factional kill against the remaining players during the Night Phase, there will be four phases with specific mechanics: Day Phase, Dusk Phase, Night Phase, and Dawn Phase.
- Day Phases are when the Hierarchy of Laguna are immune to dying, and are about to perform a kill.
- Night Phases are when the Forces of Inferno are immune to dying, and are about to perform a kill.
- Day and Night actions are sent during each of these respective phases, and their results are received during the Dusk Phase and the Dawn Phase, respectively.
- The Game Thread will be open during Day/Night Phases, and locked during Dusk/Dawn Phases.
(You can read more about the particulars of each phase on the announcement thread here.)
2. Plurality Vote is enabled. If any player reaches a majority of votes, the Day or Night Phase ends immediately and the condemned player is killed. Ties are resolved by whoever was the first person to start the vote on a given tied wagon the earliest. /No Lynch is a valid vote, and a valid wagon.
3. All actions do not return any feedback to their user, except those actions of an investigative nature.
4. The Town Alignment consists of Lumen Sage, Umbra Witch, and Earth members. The Day Mafia alignment consists of heavenly forces known as the Hierarchy of Laguna. The Night Mafia alignment consists of hellish forces known as the Forces of Inferno. Beyond this, the role list is closed.
