Heyo, Welcome to the Town Of Salem Forums!

Image

Heres just the tour to get you acquainted with the forums.


Image

The Announcements sub-forum is the go-to place for all announcements made by the company, Blank Media Games. Things like future plans, progress reports & updates, just general stuff that has to do wit the progression of the game.
  • While I'm sure your not going to need it, make sure that you read over the Forum rules to know what the do's and don'ts are.
  • There is a contest for the next BGM logo going on at infinitum, and while the winner has been picked, its still open for other players to look at yours.
  • You can buy the cool official ToS shirts and find them there.

Patch Notes is all the history of Town of Salem in a nut shell. From the early alpha day to its current glorious, unfinished beta version. Expect major changes happening soon, as the expected dates for the last kickstarter goals are upon us.


FAQ has at the moment only seven threads. These threads answer question that have been answered many, upon many times before. Make sure you ask the look at the FAQ before asking the question you were going to ask. You don't want to be that guy that is told to look closely. ;)


Ask questions or otherwise known as AQ is a sub-forum dedicated to asking only questions, to where people whom know will tell you the answer.
  • Here is a general Q&A list that may or may not answer your question. Still being worked on, which is expected to be worked on at infinitum.

The Town of Salem Discussion sub-forum board is players spreading tips, trick, old stories, etc. Its a place where players talk about things they've done, and how to improve upon what they've done or just general discussion about different sorts of things.
  • The 'official' unofficial rule list talks about general discrepancies that you should not do. Most of them have been verified to be against the Terms of Conditions.
  • You probably have noticed that people are running around with different icons under their name. You can thank the Reddit Flairs Project for that. The normal, role flairs change depending on your post count, so the more you post, the more you flair changes.


Strategic discussion is a place where discussion about anything tactical takes place. Its much more involved and has high quality compared to its Town of Salem discussion counter part.
  • Here is the new player guide to town of salem. It talks about the the questions about the game, mostly about the UI (user interface) and for confused new players coming into the game.
  • Their is a guide list of all the different types of guides made by experienced players. If you want to get better at a role and/or spread the knowledge, look no further, just look here.


Off-Topic means... Off-topic! Whatever that has nothing with Town of Salem or the game goes here. Only things completely unrelated to the games go here, and generally has a high quality response to them.

Go to bug reports sub-forum for any strange and unexplainable you fine in the game. This is where you report them, and if can either be answered, explained, or acknowledged as a bug.
  • Before reporting anything, please read the prompt to bug reports to learn about what you should do before and after you report anything.
    • Make sure that you clear your cache. Thats has solved some players problems. Click here to learn how to do that.
    • Please include screen-shots of the bug you are reporting. If you want to learn how to take a screenshot on your system, go here, and then use a image hosting cite like imgur or tinypic.
  • The bug reports list does exactly as it says. Lists most of the bugs that are currently reported within the game. If you look through it, you may find your problem and could be able to fix it off that.


Feedback is a sub-forum dedicated to discussing certain aspects of the game and giving feedback opinions on it. Its very similar to discussions.


Suggestions is where many new ideas that are meant to improve the game are born. While only a small fraction of them maybe considered, its also a good place to pitch ideas that the developers can use. They generally do check up on suggestions to get an idea of what the community wants.
  • The Forum Suggestions thread doesn't talk about the games suggestion. It only displays various modifications that can be made to the Prosilver (phpbb) boards.
  • Implemented Suggestions is a forum dedicated to suggestions that are implemented aswell as soon to be implemented. If you have a suggestion about the game, check out this section first to either see if its already listed or get inspiration.


The report players sub-forum is dedicated to catching players username who are breaking the Terms of Conditions. Its very similar to bug reports in the regard that you need evidence, otherwise their is nothing that can be done about them.
  • Their is a published ban list of the many, upon many players that have broken the Terms of Conditions and do not deserve to play the game.
    • If you are banned, and you believe you are banned wrongly, please head to appeals forum and make your case. Do not respond to those appeals.


Role Ideas was the same as suggestions, but then it got out of hand. Now its its own separate sub-forum. Anything with roles has to go over there.
  • Their is a role list of most of the proposed roles. Has not been updated for a while however
  • Testing Grounds is a role idea testing grounds that facilitates the game. Run by Testing Ground Moderators.

The lounge is basically the off-topic, mess around sub-forum where not so high end discussions are taken place unlike its off-topic counter part. Want to talk about nonsensical/meaning full stuff with people, go there.
