2. Unvotes should be bolded for them to apply in the game. E.g. Unvote: Dagger
3. You may Vote: No Lynch to end the current Day phase without lynching a player.
4. To move your vote, an unvote is required
5. Lynch will occur with a simple majority of votes. This is irreversible.

Action Choices
1. There are two phases in this game: Day and Night.
2. Choices can be sent in advance if you won’t be available during the coming phase.
3. Any action choice is to be sent to me via PM, my preferred method of bookkeeping, and should have this game’s name in its title and the current phase listed. E.g. Hecatea Mafia Night 2
Locations and Magic
1. During the day, each player must send me a PM stating which zone you will locate to the following night. This may be changed as many times as you wish before the lynch. If I do not have a zone from you by the lynch scene, you will be randomly placed into one.
2. Should a zone contain a power level of at least 13 within its borders in a night phase, the government will fear an imminent uprising in that zone, and will lock out all magical powers (any/all magical powers activated in that zone are blocked for the night)
3. Unless otherwise noted, all players have a base power level of 1 that is changed each night by the modifiers of any abilities they use. For example, Billy has a power that is +4: Do X. If Billy chooses to use his power N1, but not N2, his power level is 5 on N1 and 1 on N2.
4. You can use each spell no more than once each night unless otherwise specified.
5. You can cast more than one spell a night unless otherwise specified.
6. If a magical ability you try to use is government blocked, you will receive the following text "<Ability Name> failed to work"
Upon the threat of replacement or modkill or blacklisting
1. Do not communicate, discuss, or even hint about this game with each other or with people outside of this game at all, unless your role explicitly gives you permission. This applies even when you are dead, unless permitted by me. I am the only person you can speak to.
2. Direct quoting or minor paraphrasing of your role PM or any PM at all from me is expressly forbidden. The same threat holds if you ask other players to do the same.
3. Modifying or deleting your posts in the game thread is expressly forbidden.
4. Posting in the game thread during the Night phase is expressly forbidden unless otherwise stated.
5. If you are dead, posting in the game thread is expressly forbidden. I will tolerate a “Bah” post on the condition there is no relevant information being conveyed to the living players, explicitly or implicitly.
6. Inform the game thread or me if you will be unavailable for more than a 72-hour period. No activity for the same period of time without prior notice will result in a prod being sent. Failure to respond to the prod is not optional.
7. Crypto-claiming and its variants are expressly forbidden.
8. Outing or revealing your scum mates, whether faked or otherwise, is expressly forbidden.
Miscellaneous
1. Please consult with me if you have any doubt or query. Better be safe than wrong. I don’t bite… much.

4. Respect the Mod, the players, and the Forum Rules. This is not optional.
5. Have fun! This is not optional.
Slowly but surely, the abandoned theater starts to fill with people from all locales and walks of life. As each person moves through the tattered curtains once marking the entrance to this house of whimsy, they proceed to find a seat that is not too far deteriorated while staring intently at the stage ahead, illuminated by a single spotlight from above.
Real names hold no importance here. For the safety of everyone involved in the resistance, you all go by call signs that were provided to you when you were first recruited.
Shortly after the early morning fog has rolled in, the majority of you are seated in various locations around the theater – this being the first time that the resistance has met in such a large gathering. A grizzled, war-torn man walks to the front of the stage and takes a quick survey over the lot of people out in the seats. “You have been called together here today,” he says with a heavy burden, “because the time has come for us to make our stand. Too long have we been acting in the shadows, merely a thorn in the Manite's side. With election season nearing its end, Hecatea security forces will be centered around the Ivory Tower and we’ll have an easier time turning others to our cause. If we are just mindful ...” He is cut off by a shout from a man running down the aisle.
“Commander!” he screams, “I've just finished going over our recruitment records and there are some dangerous inconsistencies with a few of them.” He darts quick glances around the theater as if trying to spot someone as he makes his way to the stage.
“What do you mean?” shouts the man on the stage back; you can see a slight amount of worry on his brow.
“Here! In these background reports!” He says while raising papers above his head while gasping for breath, “The government ... we have plants!”
As if summoned by the words he spoke, there is a blinding flash of white light followed by the crack of what could best to be described as lightning. By the time everyone regains their sight, the spotlight has shattered up above and the man that had run into the theater moments before was found lying on the floor, burnt to a crisp.
The silence in the room is deafening. It is finally pierced by the man on the stage who is now solemnly bowing his head. “Ladies and gentlemen, one of our many casualties of war. Whether I like it or not, now is still our best time to strike, so we must attempt to finish what The Lieutenant started. I don't know who among you I can trust, but I'm sure as hell going to find out.” You can see the fire in his eyes as he lifts his head. “Our best time to act will be at night. So for now, we need to find out which one of us is responsible for this.”
Sample vanilla town PM:
The Lieutenant (Numan)
You joined the resistance soon after it was started and rose in the ranks because of your attention to detail. Recently you were promoted to manage the resistance member lists.
Today seems like a great day to wear your favorite red shirt. You just need to finish going through the rest of these files before heading into HQ.
Win Condition: All traitors in the resistance must be eliminated
vote poggydude, seriously this jerk is detrimental to games almost on the same level as vezok.
also protocol 109 sounds pretty sweet I wonder if it is actually an ability or one of those retarded "Imma gonna make up something dumb to gauge reactions of players" gambits

If I may, why don't we just all pick zone 1 and lock it down each night? This would vanillafy all roles and make this game really simple for town.
Man, what the hell is it between AE and zindabad? Do they always go for each other's throats?
But, seriously, zionite's idea makes no sense. It feels like he was just fishing for power by proposing something to nullify them so that he could watch reactions. I mean, obv, town power's not actually going to like that idea.
Man, what the hell is it between AE and zindabad? Do they always go for each other's throats?
This is a little-known fact, but Archmage Eternal and zindabad are actually twins. They did not cry when they were born, as they were too busy trying to strangle the other with their umbilical cords. Not much has changed since then.
I don't like the Zionite wagon. (Nor how spammy Shalako's playstyle is, but that's neither here nor there.)
On a related note, I have the ability to increase the safety level of a given zone each Night. This seems like something we should coordinate to get the most use out of the ability. I'll refrain from specifying further for the time being.
yeah zionite's idea is dumb locking down all abilities in no way helps town
Unvote

Are certain zones inherently unsafe? What does unsafe entail? Do you believe that a player has the ability to negatively impact the safety of a zone? If yes, do you believe that player is scum?
Your playstyle reminds me of seppel and deaths vampire. Neither of which is a good player to be emulating. Please stop being an idiot, it's way too early in the game to attract all this attention
FoS Zionite
somehow I don't think you thought your master plan all the way through. Plus we don't know that the mafia no would use magic (if it doesn't it wouldn't be affected by the lockdown anyway.)

What are you talking about?
By mentioning how he plays in the random stage to defend his waiting for a wagon to develop, he is implying that that vote was random, which it didn't appear to be.
EBWODP: syrenz, I think he means he can increase the magic threshold in a zone before the zone gets locked down.

Uh-huh. Which is why you waited for a wagon to start before saying this and voting him.

I messed that one up; I forgot to change "Guardman" to "atlseal."
On the plus side, no risk of modkill!
