Several people were stranded on a desert island in a shipwreck. The island is completely bare, and therefore every morning all the surviving tourists choose who will they eat the next day? After some probably stormy debate they vote. The one with the most votes tries resist, but his fate is decided - and after a few hours everything the rest are eating barbecue, trying to pretend to be carefree, but thinking to themselves: "Who will be next?" In the end when there are only two left tourists, the long-awaited ship arrives. Takes on board the lucky ones.

The game is turn-based. Each move is broken down into two important parts. This is actually a move which is done according to a schedule at a strictly defined moment (usually at 5-6 in the morning Moscow time). And waiting for the next move. While waiting for a move players exchange letters, walls (letter to all participants), choose for who to vote, vote. All this happens through the server. How exactly is this done will be explained later. During the turn itself, the actual counting of votes takes place and one of the players results are eliminated. After this, the server sends out a voting report. The next wait begins. And so on until only two will remain alive. At this point the game ends, these players are announced winners. - Report format. After the move, the server sends out a report to everyone about the past move.

A player can be alive, dead or winner. You vote for XXX Shows who you are voting for.

People who killed XXX List of those who voted for the person killed by this move. Why is this section needed? will be written in the section - "How the server works." - How the server works. For each player, the number of votes is counted, who is for him voted. Those players for whom the maximum number of votes are selected are selected. number of votes. From among them, the one who dies is randomly selected. After this, the voices of those who voted for the deceased are replaced. Now they vote for themselves, this is done so that there is no such situation when vote for the dead. In order to make it clear who voted for the murdered man, these players are in the report are described in a separate section. Dead players are described only in the Player Status section, this rule is not concerns someone who has just been killed. - Game options.The games themselves may differ slightly in rules, for those interested.

The application is sent to GMU - that is, to me at gm@plintus.lcm.msu.ru Address server - robot@plintus.lcm.msu.ru The application must include your name, password, address, encoding, as well as the desired batch. Application example: - Hi Taras, I want to play ostracism. Nick Kuk Password Kok E-mail kuk@coast.of.australia Encoding KOI - A more convenient way for both you and me is to fill out an application for BBB: http://ostrakism.da.ru http://plintus.lcm.msu.ru/ostrakism - Examples. Here are some examples of letters that are sent to the server. - #wall island1 Piano Dear sirs. Before breakfast, I want to note that I am a small and fragile person. I'm afraid that my breakfast will turn out to be very insatiable. So I hope you don't make the mistake of voting for me. Pianist. - #mail ostrov1 Shkiper ostrov1 Kok Hello Skipper. You and I have known each other for a long time and we know that we are both old, tough and tasteless. Therefore, I propose to eat this damn pianist, whoconstantly whines that she is small and that she really wants to live. Cook. - #order island1 Shkiperpassword V Pianistka - How to play on BBB (http://ostrakism.da.ru) In general, it’s easier to play on BBB, all the actions that were done on the mail server are made from pages. To start the game you must first register on the server. After this you need to sign up for the party. When the party starts you will have the opportunity to vote, correspond, in general, everything you need in the game. Yes, so that you don’t oversleep the beginning of the game, you can leave your e-mail there, then the server will notify you about the start of the game. I apologize that so far everything there is not very beautiful and convenient. B in the future everything will get better and better. I look forward to your useful comments and suggestions. - Diplomacy rules Basically you can do whatever you want. Negotiate, form alliances, it is vile to violate them, etc. Everything is just like in real life. I would just like to point out on several things: How interesting the game is depends only on you. Not For example, it’s worth voting for the first one who wrote #wall, it completely cuts off I feel like writing to anyone else, and the game degenerates. - Features of the game via email If the server of this game is installed on one of the email nodes, some specific rules must be followed.There must be at least one empty space between the letter headers and the semantic part. string (but more is possible). This is a standard requirement for e-mail formats. (See RFC-822 standard). Only English is allowed in orders. Letters to other players, game master and broadcast messages, articles can be written in any language that is understandable to everyone players and game master in language (for example, Russian). One letter to the server can contain only one deep message. letter, or one order. Also keep in mind that capital letters and small letters are DIFFERENT! It should also be taken into account that the quality of e-mail does not have any relationship to the game. Claims regarding late orders will not be accepted, because delivery of letters is not within the competence of the Game Master. Therefore, starting game, you must make sure that you can exchange letters with the server via at least with the frequency of moves in the game you have chosen. Claims regarding the speed and quality of mail delivery are not accepted! Contact to your providers. According to the rules of any automatic server, the Galaxy server does not consider letters in which the first line (where "from ....") contains a path ending to: MAILER-DAEMON NEWS NEWSSERV MAILSERV USENET FTPMAIL This means that mail from players whose name ends this way will not be sent. processed and reports are not sent. If the mail program is correctinstalled, then no one should have this, but just in case It's worth asking your postmaster. - Ethics of the game Please note first of all that “Ostracism” is a game, you should not identify the player inside the game and the real player. You shouldn't be offended if someone treats you You are incorrect. Ultimately, this is not chess! Deception and deceit, take this into account in your policy. Game Master does not consider complaints of this kind and does not take any sanctions against players who have committed such "misdemeanours". Mail circulating between players is personal mail. You can use any forms and expressions in it. However, rudeness is unacceptable in broadcast messages, even if this rudeness is part of your image. Except In addition, the Game Master can censor messages. "Ostracism" is a program, and like any program, it contains errors. We We will be grateful if you report finds of this kind. However, if You will try to use the found error in your own interests, sanctions will follow immediately! - What NOT to do Many people regard the words that deception and deceit are acceptable in the game, so as if this allows them to do anything at all just to win. This is not right! Everything that has been said here relates only to the process of the game itself anddoes not at all relate to the technical problems that have to be solved for ensuring normal server operation. For example, it is completely unacceptable use someone else's password without the permission of the player playing for the race with it password. Or is it absolutely illegal to influence the mechanism in any way? mail delivery and server operation. Any attempts to influence the process from the outside games will be severely suppressed. A fashion has emerged to record under several nicknames. Engage in zombieism then I mean. For me personally, this is very strange, since apparently this is done in order to win. And the joy of victory by several players at once seems to me dubious - if anyone really wants, I can launch a game in which there will be Only this person clearly cannot lose. Moreover, as a mathematician I’ll say that if you sign up with three different nicknames for _different_ parties, then the probability of victory is no less. Why is zombie farming bad? By spoiling the game for all other participants. How will zombieism be punished? At a minimum: This death of all nicknames except one. To the maximum: Complete ban on the game. Of course, if you get serious, you can always make yourself a zombie so that I I won't be able to detect this. However, I would be surprised if anyone is serious relate to this game :)) Sincerely, GM Ostracism - Taras All the best! Boh/Image Crew was with you.
