Posted February 24, 2012
With the rising popularity of GOG, management decided to move into other businesses as well. Among these were music, to the great annoynace of companies such as Universal Music group, among others. GOG wanted to celebrate the success they have had with this pasture, and decided to hold a festival, namely, the GOGHammer Festival. A selection of bands were invited to play, and the festival has only just begun.

Rules - Stolen from everyone, including myself. Since ViolatorX claimed them as his own, I will go against his tyranny and claim them as the people's!
1. The moderator for the game is Damnation. Should you need to contact me, you can do so with the pm system. Feel free to pm me with any questions you might have!
2. All players have a vote, which they may place on any player. A vote may be withdrawn by unvoting. Once a player has more than 50% of the votes, that player will be lynched and the game will go to night. No amount of unvoting can prevent this.
3. A player may also vote nolynch. A majority of nolynch votes will end the day without a lynch.
4. You may not post in the game thread during night phases.
5. Please remember to bold your votes and unvotes like this: Unvote nmillar, vote Robbeasy. (This is an example, but yo uare welcome to make this voting action common place)
6. When you are dead, you are dead - stop posting. A single "bah"-post is permissible and encouraged.
7. Don't edit your posts! This is very important! Editing a post is grounds for being modkilled. Due to the forum software I must also ask you not to double post. Two consecutive posts of the same user in a short time frame will merge, creating the appearance of an edited post. The time limit after which this stops happening seems to be 10 minutes, but you might want to err on the side of caution!
8. If you require my attention directly in-game, please either bold your inquiry or request, or quote a post of mine.
9. Do not discuss the game with anyone outside the thread, except for people specified in your role PM, and then only at such times as the PM specifies.
10. Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from the mod. If you are afraid that your paraphrasing is too close, contact me and I'll take a look at it.
11. All players should post at least every 48 hours. If you expect to be away for more than 72 hours, please let me know either through PM or in the game thread. Failure to do this will result in me sending you a prod via PM and in thread to which you will have 24 hours to respond. Failure to do this will result in replacement. Or lynch all lurkers, who knows?
12. If you can no longer participate in the game, let me know and I will try to find a replacement.
13. When the game ends, any player whose win condition has been fulfilled wins the game, even if that player is dead. Players who are modkilled or have been replaced will automatically lose the game, and be condemned to an eternity of Rickrolling.
14. All roles have been randomly assigned using random.org.
15. Deadlines will be based on the number of players. If enough players inquire about postponing the deadline, I will abide.
16. FoS will be considered enough of a game mechanic, and will be collected by me and included into votecounts. Votecounts will further be enhanced with links to where votes are cast, to help lazy players and detailed players with easing the process of finding posts. Further, players may request vote actions, as I will, at all times, be keeping a list of who votes and who unvotes and the relevant post numbers. Requesting this will result in me posting a list of the day's actions (Or the most recent, if the list is too long).
17. No cryptoclaiming. I suck at deciphering, but if I manage to decipher anything resembling cryptoclaiming, or a player does, the culprit will be smashed across the head with my guitar (Modkilled). This is a rule all games adhere to.
18. No betting! No matter what, you may not place bets on anything relating to the game! If I learn of any such bet being made outside of the game, I will forcefully shove you into a drum and get George Kollias of Nile to hammer on it (Modkilled). This is a rule all games adhere to.
19. Introducing the Pink_Baroness Rule: No response may be longer than 10 A4 pages in size! Save bytes, use paper!
