@Amelia and
@Leafia !
Follow the Global Rules as well as the Forum Game Rules
Additionally, players should post at least 15 on-topic, substantive posts each in game day. Those who fail to meet these requirements will be prodded, and if the problem continues, replaced out.
Finally, when it comes to recruited Mafia players, due to the nature of the Jackal, players are not allowed to outright claim Mafia/Recruit in the main thread in order to reveal their partners, nor may they claim their partners as they die. They may attempt to bus who they think/know may not actually be on their team, but they can not truthfully claim their role.
