*vibrates excitedly*
Some announcements that hopefully won't be too relevant:
About game start:
Game will not start sooner than 48 hours from now, and will start at least 24 hours after signups close (that is: all slots filled or time is up). By "at least" I mean probably very close to 24 hours, but the hope is that players have a little bit of heads up while I get all the roles out etc.
About substitutions:
Sometimes players are eligible for substitution, by request, inactivity, or extenuating circumstance. Only private requests are considered requests, because anything in the thread is considered part of the game and may be lies. I have some definite objective criteria, but there's also a lot of subjectivity to the problem, so I'll deal with issues as they arise. If there are not enough substitutes, I may start evicting players, or maybe taking other action, such as public declarations of inactivity.
Examples: You're definitely safe if you post at least three times per in-game day, and definitely not safe if you don't post for three in-game days. In between depends on circumstance. Try to be definitely safe.
Other misc:
- Bold your votes. Votes don't count unless they're in bold.
- no public-key crypto or provable randomness (hashing a common string for public bits etc).
- breadcrumbing is fine (anagramming your role or what have you), as long as everyone has the same ability to decode your messages.
- Just, don't intentionally break the game. Ask me if you're unsure if something is legal or against the spirit of the game. I like loopholes and clever things players discover, but I want them to be fair.
If any of you have any other rules clarifications or requests about game form before you receive your role, feel free to ask.
