I have made minor adjustments to the rules from last game, please review and confirm. Pay Special attention to fundamental rule 12 which is a new addition.
Game Rules

Fundamental Rules
1. Please enjoy this game, and do not personally attack other players in a manner that is offensive.
2. Do not use hidden or encrypted text. Do not use code. (Spoiler tags are allowed because they are easily noticeable. Posting text with the intent to hide it from other players, e.g. by changing the text color to resemble the page background, is not permitted.)
3. No communication about this game is allowed with non-players or players who are dead, even if you yourself are dead. (And if you are dead, you may not discuss the game with anyone who is currently playing, even if you could while you were alive, unless your role specifically states otherwise).
4. If you believe a simple mod mistake has occurred, please address this in-thread and in bold. If you believe a large moderation mistake has occurred, or you have a dispute, please contact me via PM.
5. You are not allowed to quote your role PM or quote a fake role PM. You must paraphrase all information you wish to claim. You are not allowed to post or refer to any images in your role PM, nor may you post metadata about mod PMs in an attempt to break the game (e.g., message ID in the URL, time of day the message was sent, etc.) If you are unsure if your paraphrase crosses the line, ask me via pm.
6. Unless your role PM specifically allows you the power, you are not to communicate with anyone about this game outside of this game thread. If your role PM does allow you this power, you are to PM all conversations to the mod and the co-mod or use provided discord servers.
7. Editing your posts is not allowed. Upon each edit you will receive a mod vote automatically and in particularly egregious or repeated cases you may be mod killed. Mod-votes do not hammer a player.
8. Do not use this (color) and (color), they are reserved for mod use.
9. Besides minor clerical issues rules will not be changed retroactively, however my rulings on the meanings of any rules are final so it's suggested to clear any iffy sounding strategies with me.
10. Should any modkill for egregious rule violation occur, it will occur in the way that most disadvantages your faction, eg a town modkill ends the day, but a scum modkill will not.
11. You must play to your wincon. Implicitly, you must be aware of your wincon so it is unacceptable to not read your role PM.
12. This game may use post death mechanics, even if eliminated do not check Gojoe spoilers or green room until mod allows it.
13. I am pro-hypotheticals. For questions of role interactions, I will answer based on what I perceive as the standard version of the role. However, that doesn't mean I'll be using the standard version of the role, however variations will be expressed using modifiers which are similarly eligible for hypotheticals.

This does not extend to answering whether a role is or isn't in the game unless I consider the role too "bastard" to be included, eg. cults and Jesters.
14. Any use of large language model based technology in game must be clearly labeled as such. Also it cannot be treated as a replacement for standard player output, this is both to preserve the social aspect of the game and because it's not good at the game.
Voting and Eliminating

1. Each Day you may vote for a player to be eliminated using a bold vote command, e.g. Vote: Adumbrodeus.
2. You can unvote, e.g. Unvote: Adumbrodeus, which removes your vote from the player you were voting. It is not necessary, but it is appreciated if you do. This too must be bolded.
3. No elimination is a viable elimination choice, e.g. Vote: No elimination. A majority voting for this choice will end the Day with no player being eliminated. This too, must be bolded.
4. For all voting and unvoting, formatting that is not visible in the post but visible in quotes or when highlighted will be ignored, as will color changes (provided it doesn't render all or part of the necessary formatting invisible against the background) and the like. It is advised to format all votes precisely as stated in the prior 3 rules and give them their own line because if a mod interprets it as a case where it's ambiguous whether a player voted or where they placed said vote, we are entitled to interpret it in a way most harmful to the faction of the player that made the vote.
5. The Day will end when a majority elimination is decided or a deadline is reached. If a deadline is reached without a majority elimination decided, there will be a no elimination.
6. No posts during Night.
7. If you're nightkilled, you may post one information-less "bah" post.
Activity and Deadlines
1.The recommended minimum of posting is once daily. Consideration will be given for Weekends. Please notify me if you have a pre-planned absence planned. If feasible, I will tell you if I am considering replacing / modkilling you.
2. Up to 3 deadline extensions may be granted for up to 48 hours, first will require a simple majority of players, 2nd 2/3rds, then unanimous. Requests for deadline extensions must be done in thread as follows "vote: deadline extensions"
3. Each day phase will last approximately 5 days. Night phase will be approximately 48 hours. I will attempt to be as close to this as possible but allowances will be made for my schedule.
4. Failure to send in your night action(s) will result in no action(s) being taken unless it is a mandatory action, in which case it's randomized.
5. For fairness reasons due to us having lives, players are entitled to send the mods trigger conditions for day abilities. For pace of game reasons, players with twilight abilities are required to send me trigger conditions to use their abilities. They will be given grace to modify those trigger conditions or simply directly using the ability during twilight, however this should not be depended on because if it is not in my inbox at least 20 minutes before the flip is posted it is considered to late and will not be taken into account. Trigger conditions will only trigger based on public in thread info or info you achieved through your role and must be explicit and direct. It is recommended to ask the mod about a proposed trigger condition before sending it. This is not a confirmation that either day or twilight abilities exist in game.
Sample Role PM

Sample Role PM

Welcome to Tales of Zestiria Mafia!

You are Rohan, Town The Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Laser Beams Out Of Its Ass. You win when all threats to Town are eliminated or nothing could prevent the same and at least one town player is alive.

You are a Seraph who got turned into a drake by local malevolance but Sorey managed to purify you before you fully turned into a dragon. As a result you were able to give a blessing of the land which stopped the build up of malevolence.

But while you were a drake you were extremely destructive so you get destructive powers!

Kill: Once per night you can send me the action Kill: [Player] This action has a 25% chance to fail. Assuming no interference and the the 25% chance doesn't activate, you will kill the player. If you choose to withhold this ability on a given night, the following night this ability will have a 25% success rate when targetting a town aligned player, but a 100% success rate when targetting a scum aligned player.

Weak Bulletproof: A night kill directed at you will fail 25% of the time.

You are not aligned with a Lord of Calamity.

You are aligned with a Shepherd.

Oh, Bessie, sharp-eyed and astute,
Who parses each word, no matter how cute,
This verse affirms, with rhythm and rhyme,
I’ve read my role, and I'm ready on time.

The scumteam may hide in shadows and lies,
But your insight, Bessie, can pierce their disguise.
May your wisdom endure, as wildfires rage,
Stay safe, stay strong, through nature’s rampage.

This poem, by ChatGPT, was crafted with care,
To confirm I’m present and fully aware.
Let the games begin, with deduction and wit,
And may we uncover the scum in our midst!
madge, ratammer's ponywife, she/her
Plug: my vampire romance novel is finished!

In a sun-drenched field, where the wild winds blow,
Bessie the Labrador runs to and fro.
Her coat of gold, her heart so pure,
She chases the breeze, her joy obscure.

But far across the fields, with a grace so fine,
Came Madge, the Aussie, with a heart divine.
Her hair like sunlight, her smile so bright,
She danced through the day, her spirit light.

Yet as they met, each in their stride,
A quiet tension started to hide.
Neither knew what lay beneath,
A mystery tangled in each heartbeat.

Bessie, with paws that flew on the ground,
Would sniff the air, searching all around.
She wondered, in silence, with furrowed brow,
If Madge was friend or foe somehow.

Madge, with eyes both sharp and clear,
Would glance at Bessie, unsure of fear.
Was the dog a foe in disguise,
Or was it Madge who told sweet lies?

Was Bessie the one who had hidden deceit?
Or was Madge the scum, so bold and neat?
Each unsure if the other was true,
Caught in a game they never knew.

Through fields of green, they'd race and play,
But questions lingered, night and day.
Were they rivals, or something more,
Locked in a rivalry they both ignored?

Madge would twirl, her laughter bright,
Bessie would bark with pure delight.
But each held a thought that they couldn’t quell—
“Is she the scum? I cannot tell.”

Through grasses tall and skies so wide,
They’d meet again, both side by side.
Unaware of the truth they'd seek,
Each thinking the other was weak.

And so they ran, in endless chase,
In a silent dance, no time to waste.
Neither knowing, neither sure,
If the other was scum, or something pure.

For Bessie and Madge, in the setting sun,
Were locked in a game that had just begun.
And neither would ever quite know the truth,
Of who was scum, or who was the proof.

This poem was crafted, so you see,
By ChatGPT, as stated by me.
And yes, I've read rule twelve, it’s true—
This poem confirms, as all things do.

Oh, Bessie and Madge, your attempts are sweet,
Your rhymes tiptoe, but they can’t compete.
For Heury stands, a vision so rare,
With a fiendish charm beyond compare.

Bessie, your fields of gold grow dim,
Next to Heury's eyes, where galaxies swim.
Madge, your laughter may light the air,
But next to Heury? It cannot compare.

For Heury strides where mortals dream,
A shimmering god on life's vast stream.
The moon takes notes on his radiant glow,
Stars grow jealous; the sun feels low.

Your poems of scum, of doubt and jest,
Are but pale shadows of Heury’s zest.
His beauty mocks your heartfelt lines,
A muse untouched by mortal confines.

And so I pen this dazzling verse,
A poem to make both Bessie and Madge curse,
For they’ll see the truth, both loud and stark:
Heury’s allure leaves their efforts in the dark.

Let it be known, in words sublime,
This poem was crafted, a jewel of time,
By ChatGPT, with wisdom keen,
Rules one through thirteen? Yes, I've seen.
If you think tough men are dangerous, wait til you see what weak men are capable of.

town victory condition slightly modified due to potential issue noted by player. This is the official town victory condition and it's wording takes precedence over what was Pm'd to you.

In a world where humans who become too emotional, can lose control and turn into demons through only a moment's weakness, war is smoldering on the horizon. People are starving. The land itself is even corrupted in many places.

Tales speak of a Lord of Calamity, one who seeks to destroy all life by making all humanity fall to the corruption of malevolence, and by their corruption turn all Seraphs as well. The Lord seeks to fan the flames of conflict for this purpose, depending on humanity to let itself fall when tested.

But one has arisen to stop this, a Shepherd for humanity and Seraphs alike with the power to purify Hellions and challenge the Lord of Calamity.

Welcome all, to Tales of Zestira Mafia!

Day 1 begins!

Very excited to play again. :P

Vote: Boomfrog

Obviously he's never going to trust me ever again after PYP, so let's just get him out now and avoid the clash altogether.

That would be quite a long D1. :D
Also is it the 19th or the 20th? It's a bit inconsistent.
