Meta
VFA – Vote for Alignment
Usually starting from top to bottom (1 to 15), VFA is when players receive votes until they claim an alignment (e.g. Town Support).
Town Investigative roles should always claim their exact role and post info on Day 2 if possible. This is because they cannot be guessed by a Ritualist or Doomsayer.
VFR – Vote for Role
Follows the same logic as VFA, except people claim their exact roles (not just alignments). VFR is uncommon since there could be a Doomsayer or Ritualist.
However, VFA is still the meta in Town of Salem 1.
1F1 – 1 for 1
When you know that there must be an evil between two people, so you kill one of them to prove the other.
For example, a Sheriff claims that they found someone as suspicious. The town then hangs the accused person as a 1F1.
Other
Def – Defense
If someone has “high def”, this means they have defense since they didn’t die from an attack.
AA – All Any
All Any is the most popular gamemode.
TT – Town Traitor
Town Traitor is a modifier in Custom Games that makes a Town Member side with the Coven.
Reghunt – Regular Hunting
Recognizing a player from previous games from their name, then purposefully targeting them.
