What this is
CTHULHU MANDATORY is an independent creative project: a long-form work of fiction that keeps a running count of the people who choose to take part. Everything on this site — the vote, the registry, the "administration", the proposals, the countdown — belongs to that fiction.
No real government, institution, company or person is involved. Nothing here is an official census, a survey, a petition, or a registry of any kind that carries weight anywhere. Any official-sounding language is a narrative device and nothing else. If you are reading this page, you already knew that.
Voting
- One address, one vote. The archive counts addresses.
- You must be 16 or older to vote and register.
- Several people in the same house, office or classroom can each vote, as long as each uses their own address. Sharing a connection changes nothing.
- Do not register an address that is not yours. Someone else receives a message they never asked for, and their number is spent.
- Votes are not reassigned and are not deleted one by one. Removing your entry removes you, not the count of what has already happened.
The credential
- One address, one credential. The number is yours and is never reassigned.
- The archive does not issue a second one — it hands you the same one again, as often as you ask. Lose the file, change your phone: ask and it comes back.
- Its link is never shown on screen: it is sent to that address.
- It is an image. It grants no rights, no membership, no access, no discount and no benefit of any kind. It has no monetary value and is not for sale.
- You may keep it, print it, and post it wherever you like.
Proposals
Anyone may file a proposal. The system reviews it before it becomes visible, and the criteria are not published. Anything filed may be shown publicly, edited for length, or ignored. Do not file anything you would not want read by strangers, and do not file personal data — yours or anyone else's.
What belongs to whom
The story, the characters, the artwork, the texts and the designs of CTHULHU MANDATORY belong to their author. The downloadable material — posters, pamphlets, stickers, QR codes — is offered freely, for you to print and hand out. That is what it is for.
What you may not do: sell it, claim it as your own, or use it to pretend the project endorses something it does not.
Use of the site
Do not attempt to break, overload or automate against this site, and do not use it to harass anyone. If you do, your access may be blocked. That is the whole rule.
No warranty
This is an independent project, run on one server by its author. It may be down. It may lose an email. It may end. It is offered as it is, with no guarantee of availability or of anything else.
Applicable law
These terms are governed by Spanish law.
