Welcome to to the asylum. Enjoy your stay! Or not, it's all the same to me.
General rules
1) Inactivity: After 36 hours if a player has not posted meaningful content they will be proded for inactivity. If they do not reply or post within 18 hours they will be replaced. If they are proded repeatedly, they will be replaced.
2) Whispers: No player can whisper in this game. Would you trust someone in an asylum to whisper in your ear? However, there is a role that can receive notes so see the role list for details.
3) Last Will/Death Notes: Will be in use. To set your Last Will or Death Note, PM the game Mods.
4) Game Throwing: We will not tolerate game throwing. You will be blacklisted from future games if you attempt to do this. This can include "Jesting".
5) Cheating: Do not use any outside sources for the purposes of this game. This includes, but is not limited to Skype, other forums, coders, etc.
6) Spam: Please don't avidly spam the thread. No one can get a word in edgewise and it becomes a mess if everyone is doing it.
7) Have fun and be respectful of others: You really should know this already
8) All forum rules apply.
Gameplay
Spoiler: Mechanically, this game will be no different to how normal games are played. There will be a 96 hour day phase followed by a 48 hour night phase. Players may vote to put someone into solitary confinement each day except Day 1 (Which will only last 48 hours).
The difference to normal games is that a few 'Town' aligned patients may not behave in ways that help the town win.
