I will assume you're familiar with the rules from the signups thread. For plot cards, only the first leader gets one. The deck consists of:
2x Strong Leader
2x Keeping a Close Eye on You
1x No Confidence
1x Opinion Maker
1x Take Responsibility
Whose effects can be found
here.
Deadlines:
For the first leader in each round, the leader will have a
5 day deadline for giving out the plot card, and a
6 day deadline running concurrently to propose a team (the plot card must be distributed first). Missing the plot card deadline will result in a random person chosen, missing the team proposal deadline will result in a random team being chosen.
For the second and onward leader in each round, the leader will have a
5 day deadline for proposing a team.
Voting will have a
2 day deadline from the team being proposed. Failure to vote will result in a no vote being cast. Voting will end early once all votes are in and I have seen them all.
Missions will have a
1 day deadline. Only spies need to submit a decision for the mission. They may submit their choice in advance with their vote for the mission. Missions will never end early unless the game will end as a result of the mission - this is to protect the spies right to think in cases they need to make a non-trivial decision (e.g. both are on a mission). In the rare case of a spy missing the submission for a mission they will default to sabotage.
I will
not wait for plot cards people have in cases they can be played, with the exception of Opinion Maker (see below). If you have a plot card, please leave CO (conditional orders) for when you want to use them. If you are very likely to want to use a plot card but need to see certain results to decide on whom (this mostly applies to Keeping a Close Eye on You) I will allow you to CO for me to wait for you on that.
If/when opinion maker is in the game, I will give a minimum of 1 day for voting after the opinion maker's vote has been cast. You may still wish to CO (conditional order) your vote depending on how the opinion maker does vote.
The role PMs in this game look like this:
You are a resistance operative
You win if the resistance succeed on 3 missions. You lose if the spies sabotage 3 missions
You are a spy
The two spies are:
X
Z
You win if the spies successfully sabotage 3 missions. You lose if the resistance complete 3 missions
Finally rules. Shamelessly stolen and adapted from Axxle, who stole them from Mafiascum.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Bold, blue text is reserved for the Mod.2. No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography, or obscuring text in any way.
3. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
