Filled! Thank you.

Game starts either tomorrow (Saturday) or on Sunday, depending on player preference. PM me or post here to let me know your preference. If nobody has any strong feelings, I'll probably just start it on Saturday. Either way, I'll rand tonight and get role PMs out.

It will be intentional and I will NOT apologize

That makes it more fun(?)

Yesterday I learned that woodchuck is a common name for the yellow-bellied marmot, and is also synonymous with rockchuck and groundhog.

Sounds like (mafia hiatus) should become (mafia is very cool)

Alright. I've changed the overall cap to 150, and set a second tongue-twister mechanic for 100 posts.

My gut response was "no," but maybe there should be increasingly restrictive conditions as you post more to discourage hyper-posting (since I don't want this to be a super high volume game).

Tentatively, let's say there's an overall post cap, independent of the tongue-twister condition, of 180 posts per phase. I'll ponder instituting two funishments at a higher threshold than the first. Open to opinions!

Game Type: Racket
Game Setup: Mountainous
Game Split: 9 town, 3 mafia (with capacity to expand, given it's mountainous)
Game Cycle: 48-hour day, 24-hour night
Game Start Date: On fill/endgame of the other Racket (SOD/EOD likely during the afternoon, PST)

Game Conditions:
---(1) If you exceed the post cap of 60 posts per day phase, a condition will be set on you the following phase. These conditions may range from needing to post in rhyme, starting every sentence with the same letter, including a specific word in every post, and so on. Adherence to this condition won't be closely policed, but if it's clear you're not trying to follow it, there are consequences. (In other words, please don't play unless you're willing to put up with this mechanic; you can avoid it by not post-capping too.)
---(2) If there is a tie at EOD, up to two tied slots will be eliminated. If there are multiple tied slots, it is randomized. This does not work during a game-ending phase.

Post cap condition is negotiable. I might be keen on lowering it. Also open to additions/changes to the setup and stuff, etc etc.

Addendums:
---i. There is an overall post cap of 150 posts per day, independent of the tongue-twister mechanic. You cannot bank posts for the following day (so if you post 40 times on D1, you can still only post 150 messages on D2).
---ii. If you exceed the second post cap of 100 posts per day phase, another condition in addition to the first will be set on you the following phase.
