The format of a role PM will be as follows (modified slightly from the OP). Please remember that you are not allowed to reference the formatting of your role PM, who sent you your role PM or when you received your role PM.

You are Honeycomb the vanilla townie. Despite your convincing commercials and tantalizing prizes, you are bland and tasteless. You have no powers, other than your voice and your vote. Can you be as convincing as your commercials? You win with town. Your coach is X. Please feel free to use him as a resource. You may not mention your coach's identity in the thread. Good luck!

Non-mafia coaches will not be receiving the identities of the players that they are coaching. A player may PM their coach at any time.

Err, could you clarify "Non-mafia coaches will not be receiving the identities of the players that they are coaching."? It sounds as though if I'm town and PM a town coach then they won't know my user name, but you mean role instead? Are coaches ever given role identities, anyways? It seems like if they were it would introduce a lot of bias into the coaching. Also, a very outside the box question, but if coaches aren't given player identities then what stops a town from PMing mafia coach or vice versa to gain extra insight? Is this allowed?

Is the mafia KP still unblockable with only one remaining alive? Is SK KP is blockable?

Jailer and RB targeting each other cancel all abilities/will each be informed of roleblock?

Also, I'm confused about the role cop revealing roles. The OP says it doesn't reveal alignment, but the roles between town/mafia are not symmetrical so there is no counterpart for SK, medic, parity cop, or vigilante, so wouldn't the role reveal alignment because those roles are only possible in one alignment?

Thanks.

Coaches will not know the players that they are assigned unless you PM them. They will not know your role unless you tell them. Since each town player will be assigned 2-3 players, we don't want to give the coach extra information, unless the players PM them with a question. This is a bigger deal when each coach has 5-6 players.

Mafia coaches are aware of the players that are mafia, but you are still welcome to PM a coach that is not your assigned coach for advice. You're not going to figure out any alignment indicative information in doing so however.

You may not roleblock a mafia or SK kp at anytime.

Yes

The game will be starting soon. I have a few reminders:

1. Do not post in blue. This is for modding only.

2. You may PM rule questions to Kitaman27 or any of the cohosts. We will explain the question and post the answer in the thread in blue. Alternatively please use green text in the thread to denote rules questions and/or vote count corrections for the mods. This helps us find and answer questions easily and quickly.

3. I will try to provide at least 2 vote counts per day; I will try to post at least one within 1-2 hours of lynch time. If you choose to post a vote count, please preface it by noting that it is unofficial.

4. Your votes will should be formatted as such:
##vote Kitaman27
If you are changing your vote it is necessary to unvote first and are need to formatted as such:
##unvote
##vote Kitaman27

5. The voting thread for this game is here. Please only vote in that thread.

6. Please utilize your coach(es). They are here to help you learn how to improve your play. How much you learn from these games is directly related to how much you work you put into learning.

7. Have fun!!!

Role PMs will now be going out. Please no posting until the game begins! As for #5 on geript's list, I'm going to make a separate voting thread for our own sanity :p

Day One

The war was brewing between Kelloggs and General Mills. Caught in the middle was the fight over Breakfaston upon Ce'Real. The towns co-mayors Geript the Boston Kreme Doughnut and phagga the Chicken Biscuit ruled Breakfaston with a Rusty Iron Spoon of vengeance. Being an election year, both were vying for sole tyrannical control of the ancient artifacts of power: the Rusty Iron Spoon of Vengeance, the Creamy Milk of Justice and the Chipped Porcelain Bowl of Lip Smacking Goodness. As dawn broke on the first day of elections, the town supped on leftovers from the day before; Marvelousity the day old Bangers and Mash, kushm4sta the sacred combination of White Cheddar Cheetos and Vanillia Ice Cream, goodkarma the Scattered Raisin Toast Scrambled with Bacon, Adam4167 the Everything Bagel with Plain Cream Cheese, and Mr. Cheesecake the Cheesecake became breakfast for the cannibalistic citizens. After the election feast of belt loosening and face gorging, the citizens realized that there was nothing left in the community fridge except for some soon to be souring milk. Arguments broke out over which box of cereal should be eaten next to satiate the required hunger for the mayoral elections. Fights broke out over who should be in sole control of the Rusty Spoon of Vengeance. The Morning War over control of Breakfaston upon CeReal has begun.

Day 1 has begun. Day 1 ends in 48 hours at 02:00 GMT (+00:00). Thanks to geript for the flavor.

Hey guys, glad to be playing. I'm hoping that we'll have good activity and I may be a little cross if you go MIA. The town benefits from clarity and direction so try to incorporate that into your posts and I will as well.

I'll start off by talking about a lurker lynch policy. I think it's beneficial to have a threat to lynch highly inactive players to try and force activity. In several past games lynching into the lurkers gave much better odds of hitting scum than the odds would be otherwise. Having said that, it's just a policy and obviously we should all pressure conversation, pursue reads, and lynch someone a better target if it comes about.

Hey guys, I'm playing, as you guys know if you read my previous entries you will realize I always gotten vanilla and have almost always was a scumread and was almost lynched at times.

I sheep calgar's opinion about activity. I hate lurkers too as a terran player, i hate when a lurker spine rips my ass, so i may kill you if you are missing.

still it's quite early, so yeah.

@calgar, hi how are you?

btw i really applaud the choice of cereals

trix is very evil and gives diarrhea if you eat too fast or too much. good gf choice

wheaties are just stronk and good 3p killer

it may have been funnier with the cereal mascots considering they are so schizophenic, coco puffs bird, tony the tiger, cookie crisp wolf.

Hey all, looking forward to a fun game. I agree with the general notion that lurking should be dissuaded and active posting should be encouraged. However I'd like to add that we should be on the lookout for postings that simply mask for scum, those that add little to the discussion but give the illusion of participation.
