Anyone can join until we hit 14 people, then when I log in the next day, I will allow the first 14 people who posted to be in for the first game.
If you did not get in for the round you may reserve your place in the next round through PM. I will PM you when the current round is over, and you will have a turn. You may not reserve a spot if you are currently playing the game, only when you have been killed or aren't playing at all.
One Evil Darkrai will be randomly chosen and the rest will be Weaviles (regular players). I will notify players through PM.
Each round, the Evil Darkrai will kill off a Weavile (they also send off a regular vote as well so the regular players wont be able to tell). Obviously the Weaviles do not want this to happen, so each round the Weaviles will each send me a vote, deciding who the Evil Darkrai is. Majority rules format, the player with the most votes is eliminated. If the Weaviles guess the Evil Darkrai, then the game is ended and the next round can begin. All survivors will be automatically accepted to the next game. (To clarify, two Weaviles will be killed off each round, until only one remains.)
All of this will be done over the Private Message System.
After all the players have sent their vote, I will announce the results for that round.
If you are killed, or voted out, please do not voice your opinions as it could spoil the round. Also, no outsider information please. (I would like to actually use this during this game. This really keeps it between the people playing.)
Every now and then, some regular member will get "signs" on who is also a regular Weavile, these are ALWAYS the truth.
All of the Weaviles may converse on the thread to try and uncover the identity of the Darkrai; the downfall is that the Darkrai will see these conversations too.
Every round (except round 1 (see later rule)) you can vote (unless you are eliminated) and someone will be kicked out, and someone else will be killed, until the game ends.
---**In the first round of each game, only the Darkrai will kill. The Weaviles will not vote in the first round. This prevents wild guesses, and allows some logic to come into play. Weaviles are still free to chat in the thread until round two (chat on-topic, of course).
The maximum amount of days you have to vote in each round is 2. (If there is a problem concerning not being able to make a vote, please let me know ahead of time and we can work something out.)
To compensate for people who don't vote in the 2 days allotted, I will start using the strike system; You don't get it in, one strike. You fail to get it in again, you will receive a second strike, and so on until you have been eliminated. Three strikes and you're out.
---**Strikes will no longer count as votes against you, but will carry over between games. When you have accumulated three strikes, you will be immediately eliminated and receive a one-game ban. Make the effort.
Arceus' Intervention! If the Weaviles have failed to find a majority vote (there is an unbreakable tie), I will recruit the Darkrai's first victim to return as a soul and take his/her shot at revenge by breaking the tie.
In the event that the Darkrai is late in his/her vote, I will kill a Weavile in his/her place.
If I feel you are being inactive in the game, and aren't putting in the effort, I will dish out two-game bans.
***New addition; Group leader! During role assignment, one member will become the Group Leader! This character is the leader of the Weaviles, and at any time can PM me their thoughts on who the Darkrai is, which I will anonymously deliver to everybody. Reasoning; a lot of people have good logic, but are afraid that the Darkrai will kill them if they share. Anonymous sharing means no negative consequence.
