Game F.A.Q. -- Make sure to read this if you want to play!XF. A. Q.
[Because I'm sure people will have questions about the game.]
Q: If my victim quotes the codeword, does that count as a kill?
A: No. Your victim has to type the codeword in order to die. If they have quoted it and then type it in the same post, that counts.
Q: You can kill them if that word's in a post right?
A: Yes, that's the main way of killing, actually. ^^;;
Q: Do blog posts made after the start of this round count too? Or only posts?
A: If your victim has said the fatal codeword in their blog and the entry was posted after the official start time of the current round, then yes, it counts.
Q: If my victim says the codeword to me in a PM, does it count?
A: No. There is no way for me to check your PMs to confirm that they actually said it.
Q: Can I add the game account to my friend's list?
A: Go for it. If you're a regular of the thread, whether or not you play the game, go ahead. If you don't hang out here though, then there really isn't any point in adding the thread account to your friends, now is there?
Q: I made a mule account after I already signed up/after the round began. I don't have to register it until the next round, right?
A: Wrong. If you make a mule account during any time after signing up for a round, you must register your mule with the game. This even applies for people who make a mule account after being killed in the round.
Q: I don't plan on using my mule account to play the game. Do I have to register it?
A: Yes. It's to ensure fairness to everyone. Anyone caught using a mule account that hasn't been registered with the game will be disqualified from the current round.
Q: Do I have to pay an additional entrance fee for my mule account?
A: No. You only pay one entrance fee per round, even when you use a mule account.
Q: My victim said the codeword while on their mule account! But that doesn't count as a kill, does it?
A: If you know for a fact that the account belongs to your victim, and that account is registered with the game (all mule accounts must be registered to prevent cheating) then yes, it counts as a kill.
Q: I registered my mule account with the game. Do I have to make ten posts in the thread with both my main and my mule?
A: No. You can make several posts in your main and several on your mule, you can make your posts completely on your mule, or completely on your main. You don't have to post with your mule at all in the thread if you don't want to.
Q: Haha! My assassin will never find me because I'm hiding in my mule account! I'm not breaking the rules, am I? After all, it's my assassin's problem they can't figure out it's me.
A: Wrong. Hiding in your mule account from your assassin is cheating. If you're found to be doing this your mule information will be given to your assassin, or you'll be disqualified. This is about fairness.
Q: I don't feel comfortable about registering my mule with the game. Can't you just trust that I won't cheat?
A: While in the perfect world, no one would cheat, this is far from the perfect world. If you don't feel comfortable with giving out your mule information, then I'm afraid that you just shouldn't play.
Q: My computer has trouble with screenshots, but I really want to play! Can you make an exception for me?
A: Sometimes people's computers just don't get along with screenshots. If this is the case, but you'd still like to play, fill out the form and to the bottom please explain the situation. Be completely honest in your reasons for why you can't take a screenshot. You might be able to play regardless. However, this is a case-by-case exception. Just because one person is allowed to play without taking screenshots, doesn't mean everyone will be able to.
Q: My victim said another word that means the same as the codeword. Does that count as a kill?
A: No. Only the codeword can kill them.
Q: My victim quoted the codeword! Does that count as a kill?
A: No. If they quote the codeword it doesn't count. They have to physically type out the word for it to count as a kill.
Q: If I guess who my assassin is and the codeword, and I guess wrong, will anything bad happen to me?
A: No, nothing bad will happen if you guess wrong. Though you'll only be allowed so many guesses a round.
Q: Whether or not I play the game, can I donate gold and/or items to the prize pot?
A: Yes. However, please send a PM with what you're donating and for what purpose. It could be to either add to the current prize, or it could be to clothe our frighteningly poor game avatar.
Q: I have a main account and a mule account. However, I'd like to play this game using my mule and not my main. Would that be allowed?
A: Yes. You can play with your mule account and not your main account. Send in the form as you normally would, however make a note that you'd rather play this with your mule. Your mule will be the name assigned to your assassin and not your main account's name. Though you will still have to follow the posting requirement daily on your mule account, as that will be the account people are assigned to kill.
Q: I can't kill my victim with this word! Can I change it?
A: Yes. You can have the codeword changed up to two times per victim. You must wait at least twenty-four hours after the beginning of the round, and you must wait until at least twenty-four hours to request a name change if you've already had the word changed once. If you successfully kill the victim who's word you had changed, you are allowed to request up to two word changes for the victim you inherited, and so on, and so on.
