Rules

• Global Site Rules
• Do not post in languages other than English, edit/delete posts, like posts while dead/during night, utilize shared/hydra accounts, utilize multiple accounts, use polling/wiki features, attempt to mimic host messages, post fake quotes of other players, or spam/slank excessively.
• Do not cheat. Announcing intention to cheat, yet not acting upon it, will still confer punishment.
• • Do not gamethrow or sabotage games. You are permitted to play terribly, but doing so with the intention to troll will confer punishment.
• • Do not discuss host decisions or replacements in the game thread, especially to gain an in-game advantage.
• • Do not employ out of game information in order to get an in-game advantage. This rule will be enforced loosely with the exception of alignment indicative information, which should instead be made known to the host and will be handled appropriately.
    Try not to enable other players to do this either. You can help by not talking about the game outside the game thread.
• • Do not attempt to weaponize the host.
• • Do not publicly announce intent to replace out, or make posts that could easily be interpreted in that manner.
• • Do not strategically replace out.
• • Do not attempt to abuse loopholes in the rules in order to accomplish any of the above. If you are not sure if something is legal or not, communicate such to the host in your PM.

Gameplay

• This is a closed setup. The uninformed majority is the Galactic Community. The informed minority is the Crisis. Flavor solve at your own risk, because all Crisis members get fakeclaims. The win condition for the Galactic Community is “Defeat the Crisis by killing all of its members.” The win condition for the Crisis is “Reach parity with the Galactic Community.”
• Day starts and ends at 7:00:00 PM
• Days are 24 hours long, nights are also 24.
• The night action deadline is 2 hours before SoD (5:00:00 PM).
• Day actions will not be allowed in the first or last hour of the day.
• “Events” may begin at any-time. “Events” are minigames inside the game where players typically compete for prizes. Occasionally, events may occur where player has a risk of death, mainly if they lose in that event. Events where players may die will be clearly marked, and contain a brief explanation of how risky entering the event is.
• The Crisis members will communicate through a special discord server that is seperate from the main discord.
• Factional actions may be performed alongside other actions.
• Voting is plurality only. When ita’s are disabled, it will become majority+plurality.
• Anti-Claim may or may not exist.
• Action deadline for the night is 2 hours before start of day. Action deadline for the day is 1 hour before end of day. Day actions may not be used until 1 hour after start of day.
• Discord access is mandatory. The discord for this game may be found here.

War Declarations

• This game features a unique ITA system. Players may “declare war” on other players, and other players may join in to increase the odds of the target’s death, but the target may fight back.
• During each war window, which last 1 hour, players may type /declare war on [TARGET] and declare war on them.
  • WAR 1 lasts from 8:00 PM→9:00 PM
  • WAR 2 lasts from 3:00 AM→4:00 AM
  • WAR 3 lasts from 2:00 PM→3:00 PM
• After the war window closes, players who had war declared on them have a chance of dying, based on how many players declared war on them. However, the players who declared war on them also have a chance of dying, albeit smaller.
• The player who first declared way on a player is called the Aggressor. The player who got war declared on them is called the Defender. All players who declare war on a single defender are called Attackers, including the Aggressor.
• The formula for a defender dying to a war is (15% + (15% for every additional attacker +2% for every successive attacker)). So, for example, if three players declare war on another player, the chance of them dying is (15% base + 17% from second attacker +19% from third attacker) = 51%
• The formula for an individual attacker dying to a war is (10% - 3% for every attacker). So, for example, if three players declare war on a player, the chance of each attacker dying is 1%, rolled individually.
• If the Defender dies due to the war declared on them, no Attacker may die due to that war.
• Silent ITAs are flavored as Mercenary Enclaves. Limited use Mercenary Enclaves lose all their shots if they would die in the war. Infinite use Mercenary Enclaves are disabled if they would die in the war. Functionally, this works as an anonymous war declaration.
• The chance of a player dying in any war scenario cannot go above 80%, excluding guarantees (e.g. the first war you declare has a 100% killrate on the defender is still a valid ability). It may, however, reach 0%.
• War modifiers are applied to all applicable areas, unless otherwise specified
• You may only declare war once per day, unless otherwise specified, even if you declared war in a different war window.
• WAR Declarations ends when the hosts deem fit.
