COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED GAMEPLAY RULES

1. KOS is when you call a player out as a Traitor.
2. You may kill anyone who is KOS'd, assuming that person is not a detective.
3. Responsibility of the damage done to a KOS'd player is on the player who called the KOS.
4. Repeating a KOS may deem you as the original source. This may include asking questions about a KOS.
5. You may attack a Detective for calling a KOS on you; though we recommend only attacking them if they're attacking you.

NOTE:
1. VALID KOS: Explicitly expresses that a player is a traitor or they should be killed in a single text or voice transmission. Partial names can be used as a valid KOS (Mango vs MangoTango). KOS/KO5/KOZ are valid KOSes.
2. SELF-KOS: A KOS against yourself is valid and you can be killed for it. Can be punished under admin discretion if excessive.
3. SELF-IMPLICATION: Saying something about yourself that implies you're a traitor. Considered a valid KOS if done in present or past tense. Can be punished under admin discretion if excessive.
4. LAST WORDS: Can be acted on if called as a valid KOS.
