Let's start with the crunchy bits:
1) Do not quote your PM. Paraphrasing is fine, let's just not quibble over specific words. Although I will stipulate that you may quote the name/faction/role line if you wish. So if I called one person Town and another Townie, have at it, no guarantee I've been consistent.
2) Do not edit your posts. You are not allowed to whitewash a mistake you may have made. Since the forum merges consecutive posts made within 10 minutes of each other, make sure you wait at least that long before posting again. The edit elves are a nefarious bunch. There WILL be consequences for all editing mistakes. You have been warned...
3) I want a fairly active game. You are generally expected to make at least one post each day, but this is not written in stone. People do have real lives and may occasionally be gone for a couple days. Let us know in advance, and that's great. People also do fun things on weekends, so I'll do my best to schedule day and night ends for weekdays and avoid as many vacations as possible. But, please don't be that guy who barely posts, is absent on lynch day and half the players forget you are in the game. Even if you feel you have nothing to add, at least make it known you are reading and listening. Your fellow players will appreciate it.
Sample Town PM
You have hit hard times lately hence why you are taking the chance to appear on this show this year. Last year over half the contestants actually died as opposed to the usual fake death of being voted off the island. No idea how the show let that serial killer through the vetting process and that's not even mentioning the gang members...
Rwarehall – Bruce (Town Former God)
You were once all-powerful, but now not so much. So much for your God-like powers, you can't even avoid getting your pockets picked. Or did you drop it somewhere? Or maybe you are some loser cheapskate who didn't have the money in the first place.
God – Day or night you may make any conceivable action. You can do anything!
Former – Haha, ok not really. You can think of doing anything, but the result is nothing!
You win when all enemies of the town have been eliminated.
Seventeen little Indian Boys chopping up sticks;
RWarehall chopped himself in halves and then there were sixteen.
Sixteen Little Indian Boys making a scene
CSPVG got his head cut off and then there were fifteen.
Fifteen Little Indian Boys eating coconut creme
Agentcarr16 tried to eat too much and now there are fourteen.
Fourteen Little Indian Boys YouTubing a dream
Krypsyn didn't see the guillotine coming, now there are thirteen.
Thirteen Little Indian Boys thinking about themselves
Yogsloth wanted to be dryer, and then there were twelve.
