Town of Salem Slang & Terminology

[Greenpandalover]

I always use Vb: as a lookout out instead of typing out visited by. Example: N1: Bob vb: Billy, and Barb. Towns I've played with seem to understand it (Its not that hard to see what it means though xD) Sometimes I use it as Spy, but not often.

I think it's good for you guys to brainstorm some words for ToS Terminology.

[Mroz4k]

Something small I am kind of missing is some terminology and slang of the forums.

Like the usual terms like OP (original poster, author), IMO (In my opinion), FM (Forum Mafia), etc...

I´d put it down but I am bad figuring out these or knowing their meanings, figured out IMO only recently.
Still I think that could help a lot of people to orientate in the forum acronyms.

Clock -- the abstract number of days and nights before a win becomes impossible. (A revealed mafia cannot win against three town, for instance.)

Confirmed -- This player has proven his role (example: Veteran claimed identity in death note, player has been revived, or Jailor tells you his identity in jail)
Soft-confirmed -- Evidence has been given to support a claim (example: Claims Lookout, found Serial Killer)

Network -- any number of players who believe each other to be town and have made contact in order to cooperate.

Network -- any number of players who believe each other to be town and have made contact in order to cooperate.

Whispernet: The network of whispers of such network.
Whisperhub: A confirmed townie acting as hub of a whispernet.

I'm pretty sure amnesiac=amne, more often than amn or amnes

Can somebody explain to me what steamroll means? I'm frustratingly shit at understanding concepts like this, so sorry if it's extremely obvious.

Taking a wild guess here: is it when mafia plays aggressively and starts pushing for mislynches early in the game?

[Gobln]

I hereby request the term Freelo to be added here.

It means to completely annihilate the opposition without much effort at all.

Deleter and I appropriated the term to create a Mafia strategy that pushes for an early mislynch to force Triple MYLO, which is an advantageous position for scum, so that the narrow role list won't matter.

[alouvre]

Ah, I see. Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

[Mischievious]

What does 10/10 defense mean??

What is Triple MYLO? (The triple part, not MYLO)

[Arckas]

What does 10/10 defense mean??

Its a sarcastic statement for defenses without real effort.

Defendant: Hi, I am innocent
Everyone else: 10/10 defense.

It means that Town must lynch correctly 3 times consecutively or they lose.

[Mischievious]

[inhocmark]

Looking everywhere for this but apologies if it is posted elsewhere.

Edit: Cheers thanks for the answer.

It's when you figure out a player is maf by how they are acting.

Finding someone evil based on how they act/vote/talk/defend others.
Some of these include.....

If someones defense is "Theyre exe," but no role claim.
They fluff the chat.
They dont vote on certain players who turn out evil.

[pod764]

MyLo: Misslynch and Loose, Lylo: Lynch and Loose
and scumreading could be added.

[StlnSP]

Town Investigative
Spy= Spy

I can't even.

Also i think people used "transed" to claim they're transported. >.>

[Exacerbated]

medic dodge- a player who is formidable enough to be considered as a Mafia kill, but would be passed over as a protection target.

[Ymirr]

I do not see LyLo on the list
