Most people probably know the idea by now (the -AU format not exactly being a recent one) but for anyone who doesn't or needs a quick refresher I pass you over to Tarbo's very own (slightly altered) words.
Tarbo wrote:For the new players, here are basic rules:
Phases:
There are two phases in a game: Day and Night. At Day, the council convenes and deliberates on what to do, and possibly who to vote off to execution/incarceration. At Night, the “bad guys” use their abilities to the detriment of the council (usually killing someone).
When the Day ends, Night falls, and when the Night ends, Day clears again. Typically, such a phase is between 48 and 96 hours. Deadlines are typically set at the start of a phase.
Voting:
During the Day, everyone can vote for whomever they want (although only one at the same time). If you change your mind and vote someone else, you don't need to unvote; an implicit retraction is understood.
When anyone reaches a majority (50% + 1) of votes against him or her, that person is removed from the game, and the identity revealed. The Day ends immediately.
Votes are put in boldcase letters. If you want to vote for Drainial, you write Vote: Drainial. The boldcase and format are for me to count votes easily.
If you really, really want to make me happy, put or repeat your vote at the end of your post, on a new line.
Win conditions:
The Khainites/Council wins when all Slaaneshi/Tzeentchians/Adversaries are defeated.
The Slaaneshi/Tzeentchi/Adversaries win when they gain 50% foothold in the Council.
Other rules:You may not:
- Remain silent during the Day.
- Contact other players except where explicitly noted.
- Reveal OOC / meta-information.
- Post more than once at Night.
- Edit your posts. Never.
You should always:
- Post at least once during the Day. Preferably more, 1 is the absolute minimum.
So with absolutely no more beating around the bush I will stop gilding the lily and get straight down to business...
What was I saying? Oh yes, TAU sign up open.
