Rules (This is Madness!)

This page lists the rules for the This is Madness! map game franchise.

General Rules

 * Each turn is 3 days long, unless otherwise notified by an admin.
 * Each turn is 1/4 of an in-game year.
 * Your ENTIRE turn can be retconned if your turn is implausible or outright stupid. If parts of your turn are implausible or outright stupid, those parts are also liable to be retconned.
 * If a moderator be inactive in his duties for at least 5 turns in game, he will be considered as “honorary moderator” and will not have power unless requesting a return to the game with serious commitment.
 * You only have two turns in-game to protest an implausible action. After this, the events taken place are deemed canon. However, if plausibility has suffered a big enough injury, an indefinite amount of turns is allowed.
 * A player can be removed from the game if they are inactive for 5 turns. Their character will be reserved for said player for a maximum of 5 turns after removal. After this 5-turn grace period, the character will be opened up for other players.
 * Players are restricted to playing single persons. They can be either ISOTed people or historical figures during the time period.
 * Players are limited to playing in areas shown on the map (i.e Europe + North Africa for This is Madness I). The map will be expanded if necessary, at the discretion of the moderators. 
 * One "free switch" to a different character is allowed every 8 turns (2 in-game years). However, we, the Mods, advise you to stick to a character until their death in-game.
 * If your turn has been commented in the comments, but has not been added to the page, it will be much more likely missed by the admin and you might lose a turns worth of gains and losses. Failure to have your turn added to the page is on YOU, not the admin or moderators. If you wish to add your turn but are incapable of doing so, notify the staff and they will try to add it for you. The admin may make mistakes even if your turn is on the page, if so, please notify the admin and the admin will try to fix the error.
 * Do NOT ask to have your turn added to the page by the staff if you're just lazy and don't feel like adding it yourself. Well, this won't get you punished or anything, but we, the Mods, will yell at you for around half an hour straight. Be warned.

Staff Rules

 * Burden of plausibility is on the player, NOT ON THE MODERATOR.
 * Moderators cannot use any moderator powers in the region that they are playing in.
 * If a moderator or player wants a rule changed, he must ask the Admin.
 * If an annual event or moderator response is a question, the moderator must ask the Admin.
 * In the end, moderator decision is final if the Admin agrees.
