Quote from:  The Rules2. Players are not allowed to edit/delete their posts for ANY reason.
Technically, no player edited their own post. Monika did.

Quote from: The RulesModerators are not allowed to edit/delete anyone's posts without host consent.
The moderator, Monika, had permission of the host, mikey.

Quote from: The RulesModerators are allowed to delete posts by users not in the current TWG who post in the thread.
This was never an issue, since Monika was the host for a little while.

Quote from: The RulesA player who edits a post without receiving explicit permission from the host/TWC will receive a warning. Further offenses will result in game bans.
Monika had explicit permission from both TWC and the host to edit player's posts.

I really don't see where Monika broke the rules. ;)

So, I updated the rules. There is a couple of changes, mainly adding more special role discriptions, removing references to phantoms and putting rules restricting hosting on non-active.

Additionally there are some rules I want to discuss with the community:

For starters, our hosting procedure hasn't followed the procedure mentioned in the OP for some time.
Currently, we have players sign up first, and then have hosts balance their game based on the number of players. This causes problems because it forces players to decide wether to sign up or not before they have seen the game.
What I propose is that during post game, players state if they are interested in playing the next game. We can then do host sign-ups immediately afterwards, where potential games have a number of players similar to the player interest in the post game.
Does anyone else have an idea about this?

Standard wolf win conditions. A couple years ago we changed the wolf win condition from equaling the human numbers at the end of a day phase to equaling the number of humans at any point.
I'm personally not a fan of this change and I would like to revert it, so I would like to know your input about this matter.

And finally, are there rules that you want to see added, removed or changed? I'm open to suggestions.

Typically the game should be designed to always hit parity after a lynch, forcing the wolves to no-kill if they want to end the game
That's why my games sometimes start with a day phase, and I think that practice should be implemented rather than changing the rules in a way that could cause confusion
Busy rn but I'll actually read through and suggest changes in a while

include a link to the discord server- https://discord.gg/fcZdp

roles look ok though maybe just include a link to the mafiauniverse dictionary?

remove "common mistake from humans" in the Bandwagon description, since bandwagoning isn't a "mistake" (this isn't a huge deal)

get rid of the manti rule, it hasn't been a thing since I started playing TWG and nobody on NSM is good enough to be a "must-kill" night one, seriously.  There's no argument for having it.

the rest of the rules look good I think?

Menhunts - A game with multiple wolves and no special roles on the human side. Here is an example.

These links are broken.
