Notifications

Notifications are summary of urgent informations, reminders, updates, and tips during the game.

Urgent
(none)

Reminders
(Day 1) Next time, use [color="green"][b]no one[/b][/color] since I am going to use the Search Function into confirming majority of tallied votes. Also, I don't want to remind what was already stated in the Policies and Guidelines section, such as highlighting only the name in voting.

(Day 1) As much as possible, avoid posting if you haven't confirmed your role yet. This is a note for Shamanics, willalwaybenoob, Kanashimi.

(Day 1) Do not forget to submit your night actions here: [DLG7] Night Actions - Blog

(Day 1) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after googleson78's force-vote (since it is the 10th and last vote to force-lynch no one).

(Sunset 1) Some violating posts and responses to violating posts were deleted. Next time, be careful or most will receive an infraction.

(Sunset 1) In case you didn't know yet (assuming you didn't read the lobby thread and the game thread's guide posts), Sunset is a phase where the lynch is already decided, thus lynching is disabled. Accused person (if any) can still discuss with everyone else.

(Dusk 1) There is a 5-minute Night phase context from 11:55 to 12:00. Do not post between the said time.

(Day 2) Please. Review the Policies and Guidelines. I reminded googleson78 about his violation about avoiding post addition. I will not tally his vote as of now until he edited his post. If he failed to edit, it will be deleted.

(Day 2) Some posts were deleted for violations. Everyone should review and understand the Policies and Guidelines. This is really helpful.

(Day 2) If you are planning something which is a little bit unusual, check the Policies and Guidelines as well or the Notifications. Hitting me with a PM so I can check if it will be gamebreaking or not will also help a ton.

(Day 2) The game is only obviously stalled when all votes are pointing to one person, when the person being accused is no longer defending, and when discussion is already inactive.

(Day 2) You can reference to previous games to describe the playstyle of certain players since they are evident there (such as DLG6 and DLG5). As for games from epicmafia.com, you are a bit limited into referencing to them since you cannot prove it as they cannot spectate freely. But referencing playstyle (just playstyle) merely is allowed.

(Day 2) I may not be available on the intended deadline for night actions, 11.55 AM (that's Saturday 7.55 PM here). So as far as I am concercened, the game might end by Sunday. It may also end tomorrow if force-lynching is exercised. But since discussion is pretty much active, I would suggest to keep it on Sunday. Additionally, I will keep the time of deadlines and phase turning will be consistent (6AM, 9AM, 11.55AM, 12PM). Discuss this in the lobby.

(Day 2) Read all my reminders (sometimes they are already in the Notifications sections) if you need more informations about the game being moderated. I will repeat. I can be on this game on Saturday (deadline for Night actions). Everyone, review the guidelines. PLEASE!

(Day 2) Let's not use the word PR (Power role) here. We have our very own term: Heroes. As much as possible, adopt the terms used from DotA Allstars (Warcraft III Custom Map Game), such as heroes (power roles), Scourge heroes (Mafia power roles), denying (bussing). Come up with your own which are adopted from DotA. And like what I have said earlier, read the guidelines. This restriction is stated there.

(Day 2) If force-lynching is exercised today, we will end the night tomorrow (Friday) on the same time of the day's deadline. That is already 24 hours earlier than normal.

(Day 2) If majority wanted to rush this day, two more force-votes are required and the day will end within approximately 4 hours from now. But if you still want to think further, the day will end approximately 52 hours from now.

(Day 2) If any of you received a private message from your fellow participants initiating a discussion about the current game, immediately report it to me. If you choose to respond to him and keep the discussion privately, you will receive the worst punishment of infraction - suspension to join future games.

(Day 2) This was stated a million times - review the Policies and Guidelines if you choose to do something unusual to avoid yourself from being misguided. Consult all Helpful Links and search for answers from your questions before asking me.

(Day 2) Please be reminded to visit the Night Actions blog. Review all what is written there to avoid possible violations, such as inactivity.

(Day 2) Some posts were deleted. To avoid further violations, read the Policies and Guidelines. After reading, please understand them.

(Day 2) For participants with night actions, please comply to the submission guidelines in the blog. Use the proper format and color codes. If you are lazy enough to do so, just copy what you already posted from past nights since I already edited them to comply to the submission guidelines for night actions.

(Day 2) Day 2 will end in 30 minutes. Please decide and cast your votes now before the day ends.

(Day 3) Some posts were deleted for violations (in case you are wondering). Do not discuss about why the posts were deleted either here or in the lobby.

(Day 3) Please observe your activities. If there is any problem or conflict in your schedule that stop you from being active atleast once in every 24 hours, send me a message.

(Day 3) If you don't want to be misled, refer to all the informations I had given, such as the Role Descriptions in the game blog.

(Day 3) Day 3 ends in 2 hours. A reminder to googleson78, SticksAndStones, and Espermafrost. The date and time for the phase ends are all consistency so there is no reason for failure to submit your actions.

(Day 3) Please be always aware of when the day or night is gonna end. I never failed to stated the correct deadline.

(Day 3) Informations in the Night action blog are much more updated and reliable.

(Day 4) The day has already been extended for 24 more hours due to the same reason last week. The reason: I am never available at the end of Night 4 on Saturday. Anyway, you are always free to exercise force-lynching to speedup everything for your benefit, or not if you think that the day will be too active for discussions.

(Day 4) To be aware, please read the last reminder before this.

(Day 4) Force-lynching will take effect tomorrow 6:00 AM if it is exercised with seven forced-votes before the said time. Otherwise, Day 4 will end on Sunday, 6:00 AM.

(Day 4) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after STR1D3R's force-vote (since it is the 7th and last vote to force-lynch googleson78).

(Day 5) Lina is one of the Slayers. While, Slayer is the title for her, and as the role in the game.

(Day 5) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after Krieg Kanzler's force-vote (since it is the 6th and last vote to force-lynch MSD.Tenshi).

(Day 5) Day 5 ends in 2 hours.

Updates
(Dusk 1) Shadow Fury has been replaced by STR1D3R

(Sunset 4) Mazil has now been replaced by Maya.

(Sunset 4) Kaar has now been replaced by Krieg Kanzler.

(Day 6) Espermafrost has been renamed to HeatherFanboy.

Tips
(Day 2) As much as posssible, avoid additionals/edits in your post.

Here are some tips:
When you post separately within less than 60 seconds after your last post, the Post Addition line will appear.

When you edit your original post within less than 10 minutes after posting it or , the Edit by line will appear.

To avoid those things above:
0 to 59 seconds. Do not post separate comments. Instead, edit your post, but not in advance mode.

60 seconds to 9 minutes and 59 seconds.
(1) Edit your post for minor edits and modifications. You explain a little bit of your minor edit (if necessary). But avoid the word "Edit: ...".
(2) Post a new comment for major edits and modifications, or if you want to add something completely unrelated to your last post.

10 minutes or longer. Post a new comment all the way even if it is double posting.

Policies and Guidelines

Read this section carefully to avoid any infractions. Violations are subjected to just punishments.

Posting Standards

Freedom of Speech. You are allowed to say all game-related ideas. You are not limited in your speeches as long as it should be existing in the village. This includes claiming.

English only. No other language is allowed. Everyone should only speak in English.

Do not hide it. Do not hide messages in invisible texts or spoiler.

Fixed posting. Do not edit nor delete your post.

No Off-Topic posting. Avoid cluttering the game-thread. Off-topic posts are not tolerated. There is a game lobby for discussions and questions that do not relate to the current flow of the game. Such posts will be deleted.

Ignore them. Do not quote, respond, nor give attention to violating posts. Since they are supposed to be deleted, do not extend their existence.

Default styles. As much as possible, for proofreading and uniformity, use the default font color and style in posting.

Avoid post addition. Post addition is a forum feature that automatically amend your post into the last post within 60 seconds or less. Avoid it by just editing your last post or waiting for more than a minute to activate double-posting. Simply because it doesn't look good.

Voting Standards

Voting standard. If you want your vote to be counted, highlight only the name and color it with green.
Example: DLG|Master or Let's all vote DLG|Master.

Unvoting. Unvoting can be done by posting "..." in green. It is not necessary, but it will be useful in some situations.

Example: I would like to unvote, ... or simply ...

Force Lynching. Force lynching is the right to end the night immediately as forcibly as long as all others actions are submitted. It can be exercised in bolded lynching and finalized when half of the players united into one lynch target.

Example: DLG|Master or Let's forcibly lynch DLG|Master.

Votes are changeable. You can change your votes or unvote anytime during the day only. You don't need to unvote when re-voting. Just vote in green as if it was your first vote.

Other Policies and Guidelines

Buzzing. Buzzing is a feature that alerts one or more citizens to read a certain post. The game host will send a notification to them including the post's link. It can be linked to previous post that was never noticed. The format should be @Name in bolded white.

Example: @DLG|Master I want you to read the post here (link).

Play to win. Game-throwing is the term when someone is intentionally doing actions that can make his affiliation lose, such as lynching self that will result in ending the game and losing your side. So play in accordance to your current win condition.

Claiming. Claiming is part of the game as well as counter-claiming. If you think that there is a need in claiming a role, you are not discouraged to do so as long so you will not quote nor provide screenshots about the role distribution or any PM from the game host.

Graveyard and Strangers. Dead players, as well as unregistered forumers, are not allowed to speak in all kind of discussions (except the Graveyard Meeting Place). Please avoid posting atleast once when you are already dead.

No other places. Discussions about the game should remain in your respective areas, such as village thread and other documents.

Sportmanship. Sometimes the game will be in intense heat and discussion. Since this game is also about arguing, don’t be overly sensitive. I will not intervene in disagreements unless I am asked to.

Be active. As much as possible, keep yourself active into the game. Sometimes too much inactivity will result into game-throwing.

Night actions. Do not fail to submit your command in the proper format. Or else it will not be accepted. Failure to submit your action will subject you for replacement. There is no way you can forget it since you have enough time to send it in. You can submit your action in the game blog which will be available when the game starts.

We are not in Epicmafia. Some strategies, and techniques may be adopted from the site called epicmafia.com. But as much as possible, let's keep it our way. Addressing your arguments to such epicmafia styles/strategies/actions is not allowed. Explain your logic why did you do things and not because that's what is done in epicmafia (since it is also done there for a logic). Additionally, use our own terms in the game.

You are you. As much as possible, do not change your nickname during an on-going game. Also, take care of your account and avoid from being banned. Banned participants are automatically replaced.

Unstated guidelines. If there are such unstated guidelines, do not take advantage of it. Inform me so I can add it if it needs to be.

In this thread. Post something that clearly states your desire to join for this round in the lobby thread.

Infractions. The game host will have to analyze each circumstances if it deserves a warning. Serious violations, or failure to comply to your pledge of activity and sincerity, are subject to forum infractions such as Trolling or Spamming.

Infractions will be granted privately. So do not make it make it known or obvious that you received an infraction, such as releasing informations about infractions.

The reason why it is private is, if infractions are announced publicly and if a person suddenly got replaced without public announcement of infractions, everyone will conclude that such person were inactive in his night actions.

DotA Lynch Game - Commencement
Prologue

With their successful invasion against yet another village, the Scourge continued to roam until their search led them to a peaceful village unscathed and unknowing of the path of destruction the Scourge left behind. With their intentions clear, they set out to blend in amongst the populace, and before long had integrated themselves among the community.

And suddenly, an anonymous man ran into the village square. Before the villagers could question him, he immediately began shouting:

(stranger): The Scourge are coming! The Scourge are coming! Didn't you hear?! Six villages... All gone! Now they're here. They have come to feast on your flesh... Run! Run before it's too late!

And before the local guards could catch him, he disappeared into the woods.

What terrified them more, however, was not the anonymous doomsayer, but what they saw as they were chasing him through the woods: the horrid, rotten flesh of an unknown corpse left there days ago.

It was then they knew that the Scourge had indeed arrived.

The entire village was alarmed, and panic immediately struck. The village council tried to determine the identity of the invaders, but they realized too late that the Scourge had already infiltrated the village, disguised as ordinary citizens. Worse still, they had received news that a Templar Assasin had arrived in the village, with the sole intent of eliminating all the villagers!

But all is not lost, however. Everyone knew that the Sentinel had already dispatched several heroes to defend the village, and they too had blended in with the community. Now it is up to the entire village to help them determine who the ghouls are before it is too late!

DLG\|Master Member Join Date: Feb 2010 Posts: 999 Blog Entries: 8	[DLG7] Notifications ... Notifications Notifications are summary of urgent informations, reminders, updates, and tips during the game. Urgent (none) Reminders (Day 1) Next time, use [color="green"][b]no one[/b][/color] since I am going to use the Search Function into confirming majority of tallied votes. Also, I don't want to remind what was already stated in the Policies and Guidelines section, such as highlighting only the name in voting. (Day 1) As much as possible, avoid posting if you haven't confirmed your role yet. This is a note for Shamanics, willalwaybenoob, Kanashimi. (Day 1) Do not forget to submit your night actions here: [DLG7] Night Actions - Blog (Day 1) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after googleson78's force-vote (since it is the 10th and last vote to force-lynch no one). (Sunset 1) Some violating posts and responses to violating posts were deleted. Next time, be careful or most will receive an infraction. (Sunset 1) In case you didn't know yet (assuming you didn't read the lobby thread and the game thread's guide posts), Sunset is a phase where the lynch is already decided, thus lynching is disabled. Accused person (if any) can still discuss with everyone else. (Dusk 1) There is a 5-minute Night phase context from 11:55 to 12:00. Do not post between the said time. (Day 2) Please. Review the Policies and Guidelines. I reminded googleson78 about his violation about avoiding post addition. I will not tally his vote as of now until he edited his post. If he failed to edit, it will be deleted. (Day 2) Some posts were deleted for violations. Everyone should review and understand the Policies and Guidelines. This is really helpful. (Day 2) If you are planning something which is a little bit unusual, check the Policies and Guidelines as well or the Notifications. Hitting me with a PM so I can check if it will be gamebreaking or not will also help a ton. (Day 2) The game is only obviously stalled when all votes are pointing to one person, when the person being accused is no longer defending, and when discussion is already inactive. (Day 2) You can reference to previous games to describe the playstyle of certain players since they are evident there (such as DLG6 and DLG5). As for games from epicmafia.com, you are a bit limited into referencing to them since you cannot prove it as they cannot spectate freely. But referencing playstyle (just playstyle) merely is allowed. (Day 2) I may not be available on the intended deadline for night actions, 11.55 AM (that's Saturday 7.55 PM here). So as far as I am concercened, the game might end by Sunday. It may also end tomorrow if force-lynching is exercised. But since discussion is pretty much active, I would suggest to keep it on Sunday. Additionally, I will keep the time of deadlines and phase turning will be consistent (6AM, 9AM, 11.55AM, 12PM). Discuss this in the lobby. (Day 2) Read all my reminders (sometimes they are already in the Notifications sections) if you need more informations about the game being moderated. I will repeat. I can be on this game on Saturday (deadline for Night actions). Everyone, review the guidelines. PLEASE! (Day 2) Let's not use the word PR (Power role) here. We have our very own term: Heroes. As much as possible, adopt the terms used from DotA Allstars (Warcraft III Custom Map Game), such as heroes (power roles), Scourge heroes (Mafia power roles), denying (bussing). Come up with your own which are adopted from DotA. And like what I have said earlier, read the guidelines. This restriction is stated there. (Day 2) If force-lynching is exercised today, we will end the night tomorrow (Friday) on the same time of the day's deadline. That is already 24 hours earlier than normal. (Day 2) If majority wanted to rush this day, two more force-votes are required and the day will end within approximately 4 hours from now. But if you still want to think further, the day will end approximately 52 hours from now. (Day 2) If any of you received a private message from your fellow participants initiating a discussion about the current game, immediately report it to me. If you choose to respond to him and keep the discussion privately, you will receive the worst punishment of infraction - suspension to join future games. (Day 2) This was stated a million times - review the Policies and Guidelines if you choose to do something unusual to avoid yourself from being misguided. Consult all Helpful Links and search for answers from your questions before asking me. (Day 2) Please be reminded to visit the Night Actions blog. Review all what is written there to avoid possible violations, such as inactivity. (Day 2) Some posts were deleted. To avoid further violations, read the Policies and Guidelines. After reading, please understand them. (Day 2) For participants with night actions, please comply to the submission guidelines in the blog. Use the proper format and color codes. If you are lazy enough to do so, just copy what you already posted from past nights since I already edited them to comply to the submission guidelines for night actions. (Day 2) Day 2 will end in 30 minutes. Please decide and cast your votes now before the day ends. (Day 3) Some posts were deleted for violations (in case you are wondering). Do not discuss about why the posts were deleted either here or in the lobby. (Day 3) Please observe your activities. If there is any problem or conflict in your schedule that stop you from being active atleast once in every 24 hours, send me a message. (Day 3) If you don't want to be misled, refer to all the informations I had given, such as the Role Descriptions in the game blog. (Day 3) Day 3 ends in 2 hours. A reminder to googleson78, SticksAndStones, and Espermafrost. The date and time for the phase ends are all consistency so there is no reason for failure to submit your actions. (Day 3) Please be always aware of when the day or night is gonna end. I never failed to stated the correct deadline. (Day 3) Informations in the Night action blog are much more updated and reliable. (Day 4) The day has already been extended for 24 more hours due to the same reason last week. The reason: I am never available at the end of Night 4 on Saturday. Anyway, you are always free to exercise force-lynching to speedup everything for your benefit, or not if you think that the day will be too active for discussions. (Day 4) To be aware, please read the last reminder before this. (Day 4) Force-lynching will take effect tomorrow 6:00 AM if it is exercised with seven forced-votes before the said time. Otherwise, Day 4 will end on Sunday, 6:00 AM. (Day 4) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after STR1D3R's force-vote (since it is the 7th and last vote to force-lynch googleson78). (Day 5) Lina is one of the Slayers. While, Slayer is the title for her, and as the role in the game. (Day 5) Since force-lynching is exercised, vote counting froze after Krieg Kanzler's force-vote (since it is the 6th and last vote to force-lynch MSD.Tenshi). (Day 5) Day 5 ends in 2 hours. Updates (Dusk 1) Shadow Fury has been replaced by STR1D3R (Sunset 4) Mazil has now been replaced by Maya. (Sunset 4) Kaar has now been replaced by Krieg Kanzler. (Day 6) Espermafrost has been renamed to HeatherFanboy. Tips (Day 2) As much as posssible, avoid additionals/edits in your post. Here are some tips: When you post separately within less than 60 seconds after your last post, the Post Addition line will appear. When you edit your original post within less than 10 minutes after posting it or , the Edit by line will appear. To avoid those things above: 0 to 59 seconds. Do not post separate comments. Instead, edit your post, but not in advance mode. 60 seconds to 9 minutes and 59 seconds. (1) Edit your post for minor edits and modifications. You explain a little bit of your minor edit (if necessary). But avoid the word "Edit: ...". (2) Post a new comment for major edits and modifications, or if you want to add something completely unrelated to your last post. 10 minutes or longer. Post a new comment all the way even if it is double posting. ...

DLG\|Master Member Join Date: Feb 2010 Posts: 999 Blog Entries: 8	[DLG7] Policies and Guidelines ... Policies and Guidelines Read this section carefully to avoid any infractions. Violations are subjected to just punishments. Posting Standards Freedom of Speech. You are allowed to say all game-related ideas. You are not limited in your speeches as long as it should be existing in the village. This includes claiming. English only. No other language is allowed. Everyone should only speak in English. Do not hide it. Do not hide messages in invisible texts or spoiler. Fixed posting. Do not edit nor delete your post. No Off-Topic posting. Avoid cluttering the game-thread. Off-topic posts are not tolerated. There is a game lobby for discussions and questions that do not relate to the current flow of the game. Such posts will be deleted. Ignore them. Do not quote, respond, nor give attention to violating posts. Since they are supposed to be deleted, do not extend their existence. Default styles. As much as possible, for proofreading and uniformity, use the default font color and style in posting. Avoid post addition. Post addition is a forum feature that automatically amend your post into the last post within 60 seconds or less. Avoid it by just editing your last post or waiting for more than a minute to activate double-posting. Simply because it doesn't look good. Voting Standards Voting standard. If you want your vote to be counted, highlight only the name and color it with green. Example: DLG\|Master or Let's all vote DLG\|Master. Unvoting. Unvoting can be done by posting "..." in green. It is not necessary, but it will be useful in some situations. Example: I would like to unvote, ... or simply ... Force Lynching. Force lynching is the right to end the night immediately as forcibly as long as all others actions are submitted. It can be exercised in bolded lynching and finalized when half of the players united into one lynch target. Example: DLG\|Master or Let's forcibly lynch DLG\|Master. Votes are changeable. You can change your votes or unvote anytime during the day only. You don't need to unvote when re-voting. Just vote in green as if it was your first vote. Other Policies and Guidelines Buzzing. Buzzing is a feature that alerts one or more citizens to read a certain post. The game host will send a notification to them including the post's link. It can be linked to previous post that was never noticed. The format should be @Name in bolded white. Example: @DLG\|Master I want you to read the post here (link). Play to win. Game-throwing is the term when someone is intentionally doing actions that can make his affiliation lose, such as lynching self that will result in ending the game and losing your side. So play in accordance to your current win condition. Claiming. Claiming is part of the game as well as counter-claiming. If you think that there is a need in claiming a role, you are not discouraged to do so as long so you will not quote nor provide screenshots about the role distribution or any PM from the game host. Graveyard and Strangers. Dead players, as well as unregistered forumers, are not allowed to speak in all kind of discussions (except the Graveyard Meeting Place). Please avoid posting atleast once when you are already dead. No other places. Discussions about the game should remain in your respective areas, such as village thread and other documents. Sportmanship. Sometimes the game will be in intense heat and discussion. Since this game is also about arguing, don’t be overly sensitive. I will not intervene in disagreements unless I am asked to. Be active. As much as possible, keep yourself active into the game. Sometimes too much inactivity will result into game-throwing. Night actions. Do not fail to submit your command in the proper format. Or else it will not be accepted. Failure to submit your action will subject you for replacement. There is no way you can forget it since you have enough time to send it in. You can submit your action in the game blog which will be available when the game starts. We are not in Epicmafia. Some strategies, and techniques may be adopted from the site called epicmafia.com. But as much as possible, let's keep it our way. Addressing your arguments to such epicmafia styles/strategies/actions is not allowed. Explain your logic why did you do things and not because that's what is done in epicmafia (since it is also done there for a logic). Additionally, use our own terms in the game. You are you. As much as possible, do not change your nickname during an on-going game. Also, take care of your account and avoid from being banned. Banned participants are automatically replaced. Unstated guidelines. If there are such unstated guidelines, do not take advantage of it. Inform me so I can add it if it needs to be. In this thread. Post something that clearly states your desire to join for this round in the lobby thread. Infractions. The game host will have to analyze each circumstances if it deserves a warning. Serious violations, or failure to comply to your pledge of activity and sincerity, are subject to forum infractions such as Trolling or Spamming. Infractions will be granted privately.
