TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

talked to trav over aim, and he convinced me to vote to 1 game ban infinity. i feel bad though, since i just sent him a warning, but he did break two rules in one post.

He may have broken two for the rules, but he's newer at this game. I think a game ban is a little harsh. Much worse has been done.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Don't feel bad, there's still the rest of the Council needed to vote. And now that I have internet in my room I'll definitly get around to recruiting more players.

It's only one game.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Just came across this in some old folders, I think it should be documented or something, put it in the OP:

FFR's Official Werewolf Game Rules (May 8, 2006 UPDATED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: ALL rules are subject to change at a particular host's discretion, but will be assumed to be these rules unless specifically noted otherwise at the start of a specific TWG by said TWGs host.
Note: ALL rules are subject to change by TWC.
The basics and overview can be found here: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...wtopic&t=18844
Variations and other rules can be found here:
http://www.princeton.edu/~mafia/rules.htm

Specific Rules:
1. Players are not allowed to edit/delete their posts for ANY reason. Moderators are not allowed to edit/delete anyone's posts for ANY reason. FFR members not playing in the TWG are not allowed to post in it for any reason and may be subject to penalty for repeated violations. Moderators are allowed to delete posts by users not in the current TWG who post in the thread.
2. ONE brief death message is allowed the day after someone is wolfed. No information about the game may be said. A Player who is lynched may not post again after they are killed.
3. Players are not allowed to reveal their PMs to anyone else, show screenshots of their PMs to anyone, nor use information within their PMs as a method of confirming humanity. Players are not allowed to reveal conversations relating to the game with the game's host to any other player. Players may not post screenshots of conversations they have with other players.
4. An Insta-Lynch is considered MORE than 50% of all votes on any given day. Phantom votes are considered a minimal fraction of a vote for all intensive purposes (ex. .001 of a vote). If there are 7 players and no phantoms, 4 is needed for an Insta. If there are 8 players and no phantoms, 5 is needed. If there are 7 players + 1 phantom (7.001), 4 REAL votes are needed (3 real + phantom = 3.001, which is not greater than 50%). If there are 8 players + 1 phantom (8.001), 4 REAL votes are needed (4.001 is greater than 50% of 8.001).
4a. In the event of a tie vote, the Vice President of the United States casts the tiebreaking vote.
4b. Rule for multiple phantoms: any phantom above the 1st shall be treated as a full vote. 2 phantoms = 1.001 votes, 5 phantoms = 4.001 votes. All rules of 4 still solely apply for persons with multiple phantoms.
5. Cheating of any kind (through abuse of the rules stated here, or anything that is determined cheating by a majority of the players) will result in that players immediate death (not counting as that days lynch), and they will be subject to a banning of length to be determined by TWC.
6. The dead can not talk to the living about the game. If the dead are found to be walking still, they shall be subject to the cheating penalties. It is not the responsibility of the living to silence the dead.
7. Imitating another player (dead or alive) through a fake AIM/FFR nickname is cheating and is subject to the cheating penalties.
7a. Contacting anyone anonymously about TWG is strictly prohibited. All TWG communication must be either on your AIM name or FFR account name. No creating second accounts or anonymous accounts for the game.
8. No player, under ANY circumstances, is allowed a free passage into a future TWG. Not if they are killed night 1, not if they are the MVP of the previous game, not if they hosted the previous game. Of course, whichever mod unlocks the sign-up thread will easily be able to sign up.
9. No player may vote over AIM. Ex: IMing the host saying who you vote for. There is no explainable reason for this. If someone can access the internet, they can access the forums. IMing the host and asking them to post a message on your behalf is at the host's discretion.
10. All new players to TWG are strongly recommended to play in at least 1 jTWG first. If a new player wishes to bypass this and be allowed into a TWG, they must write 2-3 paragraphs on why they think they should be allowed into TWG and it must be approved by 4/5 of the TWC. Note: 99% of new players will be required to play at least 1 jTWG before being allowed in TWG.
11. NO PLAYER MAY BE ALLOWED IN BOTH A JTWG AND A TWG AT THE SAME TIME. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
12. TWC (Chardish, Tass, Kilga, Blah, Guido) have final say on all matters TWG. Any TWG related issue should be brought to one of the 5 council members.
13. Addendum to the first note at the top if this post: A host may not prematurely remove a player from the game unless they are caught cheating. If a player requests removal because they no longer wish to play or because they will be gone for an extended period of time, the host/former player should seek a replacement rather than eliminate the role altogether. If a host wishes that a player who signs up be removed from the game, they must consult the TWC on the matter, providing both the person and the reason they should be left out.
14. Because for some reason, all of you are f*cktards. For the wolves to win a game, they must outnumber their human counterparts during the day. If there are 3 wolves left out of 6 players on day 6, the game is NOT OVER. Do not try to argue otherwise about this. The remaining humans CAN force a knife-in-the-box situation causing a wolf to die, then making it 2 wolves in 4 players on day 7. The 2 remaining humans can force another knife-in-the-box situation causing a wolf to die, then making it 1 wolf in 2 players on day 8. The 1 remaining human can force a final knife-in-the-box situation causing the final wolf to die and a human victory. (In-game rationale for the above rules: The wolves are normal humans during the daytime and not strong enough to completely overpower the humans in one-on-one combat. Night is a different story - they get their one kill and then the humans are outnumbered come daytime.)
jTWG to TWG rule
If you'd like to move from jTWG to TWG, you must demonstrate an ability worthy of TWG by helping your team win at least 1 jTWG and by being active. TWC is working on a better definition for this jump and will update this rule when it is finished.

These rules are set as of 5/7/06.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I was thinking about how I'm supposed to let new jTWG players know if they're good enough to go up to TWG and I've decided I'm going to break it down into a rubric.

3 categories:
- Understanding the game
- Tactics
- Contribution

I'm going to personally want the new players to pass a minimum of 2 categories to get into a TWG. This is, of course, not a rule. But, it's a suggestion and I'll use the rubric for everyone.

After being thoroughly aggravated about this thread: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=99601 I move that u84 be allowed to play in the jTWG if he chooses, and that rzr can't deny him to play in it. Vote, please.

I got Freaky. Won my victory. No need to vote, I'll let him play.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I'll put a vote on infinity. You can not post info about the game in a death post. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.

If Sc has gotten warnings before, I'll vote for him too, but I'll hold off on sc untill I find out.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Thought I should let you guys know somewhere about what happens behind your backs. This is my last post here until people grow up.


Makilaz and LifeVirus7 know each other in real life and see each other on a regular basis. Maki's real name is Ben. Life's is Matt. They go to the same college.

Pnt has requested to give credit bribes in return for information.


You guys elected a great Council. When I see the game's fun again I'll return.

FYI, I haven't seen him since the spring semester ended, and there's a good chance I won't see him again any time soon. Regular basis? Don't make me laugh.

Get the **** out of TWG and don't come back.

Credits:0

hm, i wonder if i was joking

[LifeVirus7]

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Regular basis? Not if we didn't know each other's address when summer came (and we still don't know). Not if he isn't at college while I am and in a dorm in NH.
