- Actions must be sent exclusively via private message to the GM from the mask account.
- It is desirable to write in the thread from the perspective of the mask, but there will be no penalties for switching to normal communication, just as there will be no penalties for attempting to find out the identities of other players.
- During the game, any arguments can be used in the daytime discussion, but it is strictly forbidden to reveal roles or directly disclose information. (Note: I would personally prefer to lean more towards a psychological mafia game, but in order to adhere to Hive traditions, I did not do so).
- Clues can be given on any part of the mask description.
- You can change the signature of the mask account, but you are not allowed to change the password or use a different avatar.
- If you are a regular Hive user (actively participate in other topics on the forum), my personal recommendation is to use two windows. You don't need to open a second browser for this; it is enough to open a private window - both Firefox and Chrome have this function.
- Moderators are not allowed to check the IPs of the masks. I cannot check or influence this in any way, so I rely on the good faith of players with green nicknames.
- The mafia's letters do not contain the nicknames of your teammates, so if you want to communicate via, for example, Skype, you will have to establish contact on your own.
- After receiving the login and password, you need to somehow indicate your presence in the thread. If two full days pass after the start of the role distribution (the moment when I post the cards for choosing roles) and you do not indicate your presence in the thread, I will be forced to find a replacement.
- If a player does not show activity for more than two game days, I will find a replacement or issue a modkill.
- If your action does not allow you to obtain information (a check), I will not report on the success or failure in a private message.
- A majority of the total number of living players is required for a successful execution.
- If the number of votes is equal, the day ends without an execution.
- You can vote for yourself.
