1. Locked votes or not at end is host discretion. Announce beforehand if using locked voted, if so keep consistent.

2. Self voting is host discretion. It has uses that are beneficial. Make sure it is known if allowing self-voting. There can even be roles that benefit from this, like a target bomb, bomb, lawyer, mayor, unlynchable, information role not being believed, scum ending day earlier, etc.

3. Stalemate is 3 turns of no killing action. Scum and town should not be compelled to act. A stalemate is a stalemate. If you wish to not allow a stalemate, after 2 turns the original initiator is forced to act, in order to be playing to win and not allowing a stalemate. For example, plum no kills, town no lynch in favor, plum has to then kill because he has to play to win and not accept the stalemate.

4. Don't talk to players in game when hosting AT ALL. Less communication is good. If someone has an actual question, they can pm you and you can respond to them. They cannot use host communication outside the game to appear an alignment.

5. Make sure you adjust your rules to the setup to be clear of what is to be expected. .

6. Keep flavor tangibly related to the game and nebulous if going to be about the game. Do not give hints in flavor, confirm details in flavor, or steer the game via flavor.

7. Listen to Corrik if you want to win.
