This is the official rules and guidelines. All are effective for FM games.
General Rules
1. A host's word is law, the only higher law being the moderator's who may punish disruptive players at their own discretion. We can't both fit every rule in here and keep it short enough so it's digestible; common sense rules are mostly skipped over. Ask a moderator if you are unsure about what specifically is and isn't against the rules if you aren't sure.
2. Do not discuss ongoing games outside of the thread unless otherwise stated, nor may players or hosts bring in any major outside influences to the game such as bribes, threats, plans, etc.
3. If a player is not alive or participating in a game, they may not post on that game until it ends, unless otherwise stated.
4. You may not edit or fabricate another player’s quote for misleading purposes.
5. Do not quote, screenshot, or otherwise post any messages received from the game moderator or anything related to the game outside of the thread.
6. Do not gamethrow by working against your victory condition. Whether or not something is gamethrowing is left to the game moderator to decide.
7. The use of resources or information unrelated to the game and outside of the Game Thread in order to gain an advantage is prohibited, such as but not limited to: user login time stamps, cryptography software and images with hidden text.
8. The use of codes or encryption is prohibited. Signals are allowed (When I say "x" I mean "y happened") but any sort of hidden message that requires a cipher/rule to read, or otherwise hidden message is not allowed.
9. Coloured text in the FM section to seem like a FM Moderator is prohibited. Making posts in coloured text in Game Threads is prohibited, unless specifically stated otherwise by the moderator in charge. A notable exception are hosts and non-player users helping with the game, and making reads.
10. Pretending to break any rule is treated as if you broke that rule.
Episode-specific Rules
1. If the Moderator in charge does not believe you played to the best of your ability, you will not get a special rank and/or the trophies associated to that Episode.
2. A player may not join an Episode if they have replaced out, or kicked out of a game in a month.
3. A player may not join an Episode if they have broken a rule stated above. This can range from a single Episode blacklist to a permanent Episode blacklist.
