Day Phase A Day Phase is the name that is given to the time frame in which a player can post in the game thread. During this time, a player can post anything within the rules of the game while also adhering to the rules of the site. The site rules can be found here . A Day Phase may or may not have a time limit. The moderator of the game will decide that.
Night Phase A Night Phase is the name given to the time in which the players are not allowed to post in the game thread. However, depending on what role you have, you may still be able to privately communicate. This time may or may not be limited. The moderator of the game will decide that.
Twilight Twilight is the name given to the time after the town has reached a majority. During this time, some moderators prefer that you do not post any strategy while others do not seem to mind. It is also the time between the Day Phase and the Night Phase. Shortly after twilight has been established, the moderator of the game will post a lynch scene or a no-lynch scene and then announce that "It is now Night".
FoS FoS is just an abbreviation for Finger of Suspicion. Some players will use this when trying to communicate to other players who they are suspicious of.
Lynch or Lose Lynch or Lose is when the town finds themselves having to lynch a mafia or lose the game. This usually happens when there are only 2 (or less) more townsfolk than members of the mafia. The situation in which a lynch or lose happens could vary depending on what roles are in play.
WIFOM This is an abbreviation for Wine In Front Of Me. Players will use this when trying to describe an argument similar to one seen in the movie The Princess Bride . The scene in the movie is also known as the "Battle of Wits" scene. This is the clip of the argument.
OMGUS "Oh, my god, you suck!" This is usually said before a retaliatory vote. An OMGUS vote is poor strategy as it does not use any logic or reasoning to determine the person being voted against is indeed mafia. Mafia members may use OMGUS votes to throw a random vote out without raising suspicion. Town players may use it in frustration, or in lieu of a random vote.
L-1, L-2, etc. The "L" in this term refers to lynch. The -1 or -2 denotes how many votes a person is away from being lynched. Therefore saying "Yock is L-1" means that Yock is one vote away from being lynched.
HWSIDI "He who smelt it dealt it." This is an acronym of the popular, although not entirely agreed upon, thought that the first person to mention a role is either that role or knows that it exists within the current game.
