1) Inactivity: If a player hasn't posted in the thread within 36 hours, the host will prod them for inactivity. If they do not respond to the prod within 18 hours of it being sent, they will be replaced. If you recieve a prod, the timer to post is lowered to 24 hours before a second prod. Receiving two prods will result in an automatic replacement. Posts must be productive to the game as determined by the moderator and anything else will be seen as prod dodging and will not reset the prod timer.
2) Be Respectful: ZSSDistortion and the FM Moderators will not tolerate any homophobic, racist, sexist, or any otherwise discriminatory behavior. Any type of behavior like this will be punished by being forcibly replaced. Remember that this is a game and if you feel that you're too on edge, take a break from it. ZSSDistortion or an FM Moderator will step in and ask people to calm down if it starts getting too heated. So please, refrain from personal attacks.
3) Gamethrowing: Any attempt to intentionally make your faction lose the game will result in being blacklisted from future games. This includes shooting a revealed Mayor as a Vigilante or executing a confirmed Town member as a Jailor. All your actions must be done with the goal of winning as your faction and have a clear, logical explanation for your actions. This can include Jesting. Due to the nature of this game, if you have any questions about actions you are going to carry out or anything regarding your role then PM ZSSDistortion with your questions.
4) Spam: Do not post multiple times in a row if it can be avoided. It detracts from the game and makes it harder for people to catch up. Use quotes and spoilers to make one large post instead of many small ones as well as using the preview function to look at your post before posting it. You know who you are. The FM Mods will spoiler excessively long posts at their own discretion.
5) No Outside Communication: Do not use outside methods of communication to disclose your role or any other similar information about this game to another player. Only the Mafia and specific roles are able to discuss the game outside the game thread with my permission. Dead players may only speak to dead players. Breaking this rule will result in being blacklisted from future games if discovered.
6) Last Wills, Deathnotes, and Night Actions: Last Wills and Deathnotes are not in play this game. Be sure to label all PMs to ZSSDistortion accordingly or you risk the chance that I'll miss the PM and not process whatever you wanted done. The proper way to label them is:
SFM29 Day Action SFM29 Night Action
7) Whispers: There will be no whispers this game.
8) Codes: No codes or encryptions of any form are allowed, apart from signals. PM me if you are unsure if something would be considered a code.
9) Mod Messages:Do not quote any mod messages you are sent privately. This includes quoting role-cards. Paraphrasing is permitted.
10) Flavor: Flavor posted in the game thread and not in PM responses should not be used to infer anything or support arguments as it is as the title implies, flavor text.
11) Fun: The most important rule is to have fun because this is a game and shouldn't be treated as anything aside from that.

PrologueSpoiler:In the ToS branch of the FM Federation headquarters one weekend, all was quiet. Nothing could be heard apart from the quiet hum of the lights left on at night. The majority of the staff had departed to attend an important conference concerning certain problems in FM games and the standard at which they were being run. The few staff who did remain continued to keep necessary features online at daytime and had left afterwards at night. All except one.
Down in the bowels of the headquarters was the abandoned sector where roles and other unsavory ToS subjects went to die. In the room at the end of the eerily quiet corridor was the laboratory, where the resident doctor would experiment on roles and mechanics assigned to him by the high ranks of the Federation. He went by the name of Doctor Z, however a few people claimed to know his true identity. That Sunday night, he had no assignments so he decided to conduct his experiments on a batch of people who had been quietly communicating with each other, like a network of secret agents.
The Spies had been here for a short time, so unlike a few other people representing different roles they were still sane… and alive. Doctor Z had been working overtime over the last few weeks to perfect the latest, most ambitious batch of his serums yet to test on the Spies, and at long last he had finished it. 21 vials of genetically engineered serum designed to radically alter the Spies in ways they couldn’t imagine. Once he had prepared syringes, he crept up to the holding cell the Spies were in and knocked on the cell door. “Alright rejects, who’s ready for a dose of crazy tonight?”, the mad doctor spoke like a lunatic. Immediately, the Spies fell silent and turned their heads to the Doctor. They didn’t appear to show resistance at first, but like a bolt from the blue they began to frantically worry about being the subjects of human experimentation. Whilst Doctor Z got away with being able to experiment on mechanics, insane people and even dead people, the spies had only recently been ditched from FM in the ToS branch. But their worry only culminated in a deathly silence, as they suddenly crumpled to the floor once the Doctor threw a modified sleeping gas device into the cell. With a deafening clank, the cell door opened and the sleeping spies were injected one by one with the mad doctors serums.
However, Doctor Z made a fatal error with the one vial of Overlord-type serum he used as the spy it was used on immediately began to convulse and move in horrifying ways until he was alive no more. Doctor Z didn’t notice the body as he gleefully celebrated the successful administration of the serums to the altered Spies. After taking a sip of black coffee, he continued to work on a new all-purpose serum to present to the high ranks of the Federation overnight.
But on Monday when the staff returned, one of the moderators entered the abandoned sector to check on the subjects and discovered that whilst 20 of them had woken up, 1 was peacefully rotting away, distant from the other subjects who had no desire to be near the corpse. Immediately, they knew the culprit and busted down the door to Doctor Z’s laboratory. “Doc, we’ve been lenient with your shenanigans for far too long, but now your time is up. Come with me.” The doctor was confused at first, wondering what went wrong until he saw the pale body of the Overlord victim. His expression changed from confusion to glee. “Come on now, I managed to give 20 other people the serum without side effects, so what’s the problem?” Without hesitation, the moderator knocked the Doctor out and dragged him out of the abandoned sector.
A tribunal was held the following Wednesday where Doctor Z was found guilty of manslaughter for the death of the Overlord victim. He was blacklisted indefinitely from the FM Federation as a whole due to this and told to never return to FM at all. But despite all this, Doctor Z felt no remorse. He even felt joy as he drove away from the HQ in his car. He had managed to smuggle the experimental serum he had developed out of the base under the watchful eyes of the moderators, and he was now free to do whatever he wanted. But he wasn’t done with the Federation yet. He still had one trick up his sleeve, but for the time being, he would wait. A few of the serums he administered were… “unique”, in the words of the lunatic doctor who was now far away from the base. The clock was ticking for the FM Federation.
Today, 11:30pm Spoiler:Around a year later, it was business as usual in the ToS branch of the FM Federation. A few incidents had occurred here and there but there was nothing too significant which had happened over the year. Tonight, everyone was working overtime to prepare the next SFM for their players. The atmosphere was moody as the majority of workers didn’t want to be working this late, but they knew they had to so they could get paid so they sat at their computers typing away all night. However, at 11:30 PM the ban evasion alarm was sounded, which instantly caused all the workers and mods to flee the building in fear of being murdered by a blacklisted person. As a result of this, the cells in the abandoned sector also opened, which caused everyone to rush towards the exit of the building. Everyone except the Spies, of course. They were given bracelets to keep track of their newfound abilities which would notify the moderators if they escaped the building. After a few minutes, the building went on lockdown so nobody could get in or out, much to the Spies disappointment. As they got up to the main office, they immediately noticed an odd message plastered across all of the computer screens:
“Greetings ToS branch. If you are reading this message right now, you can probably guess who is this. That’s right, it's your old pal Doctor Z! Now, I don’t want to beat around the bush for too long so I’ll get straight to the point. Among the Spies you have, a number of them work for me willingly now. Don’t ask why or how, I just gave them a better offer than what they were currently doing, which was languishing in your cramped cells. These moles are gonna bring me all the data in your computers and the building itself, and they have a secret network which they’ll use to talk with each other without anyone here noticing. They also have access to the… wait, I shouldn’t mention that. Then everyone could kill each other easily. Now, I await the return of my precious Moles and my data. Good luck… NOT. -Doctor Z”
The spies instantly looked at each other. Eyes darted across the room, shocked by this sudden turn of events. The Federation spies didn’t know who was on their side, but they were determined to bring Doctor Z and the Moles to justice. The Moles had now sworn loyalty to the crazy doctor and would murder every last Federation agent if it meant fulfilling his goal. There were even a few rogue agents who had decided to escape the building regardless of what the Federation and Moles did. With the modifications given to them by the serums, it was do or die now. It was time to decide the future of the Federation.
Day 1 begins! The day will end at 1am BST on the 16th of June. There is a Day 1 lynch.
Reminder to not say what roles you suggested in the thread.
