Chat

Communicating with other players is possible during the game, in the lobby, in a party with friends and in private messages with friends.

During Gameplay
During the day, players can chat with each other. If a player was blackmailed the previous night, they cannot talk.

Members of the can talk to each other during the night. A can read this chat, but the speakers are anonymously called "Mafia". can also talk to each other. Similar to the Spy, a can read this chat, but the speakers are called "Vampire".

If a player is dead, they can talk to other dead players and the Medium, who appears in chat as the medium.

If a player is jailed, they cannot write in the Mafia or Vampire chat, but they can still hear others talking in it. They can only talk to the Jailor directly, who will be called "Jailor" in the chat.

Whispering
During the day, living players can whisper to each other. Other players will only be able to see who has whispered to whom. Only a or  can read all whispers, even when dead.

To whisper, write in the chat, "/w (player name or number) (your message)". Example: /w John Smith I am Sheriff! /w 5 I am Sheriff!

Alternatively, players may use "/whisper" or "/pm" instead of "/w". Be sure to put a space in between the command and the name/number you are whispering to, as well as a space after the name/number.

It is highly recommended to type the player's number instead of their name. Not only is it faster, but there is an issue of whispering to a person with a similar name as another. For example, if you choose to whisper to "John Hathorne", the game might accidentally send your whisper to "John", who is a different person.

While other players will not be able to see your message, they will receive a message that you have whispered to the other player, e.g. "Fred is whispering to John Smith." That said, you should be careful about how many times you whisper, as players might get suspicious of you.

You will be unable to whisper (and talk) during the day if you are blackmailed.

Notes: Typing "/help" or "-help" in the chat will pull up a message to remind you how to whisper to another player. You cannot whisper to yourself, because that would be weird.

Uses for the Town
Initiating a whisper might make the Mafia or Neutral killers believe you are a Town member sharing information, making you a high priority target.
 * Whispers are used to test if a player is a Spy; if they can accurately recite a whispered message, they will be confirmed.
 * You can whisper your role to any confirmed Town member, forming an alliance of trust against the Mafia and Neutrals. This is most often done with a revived/resurrected Town member, as their role has been confirmed by death.
 * If you are a Town Investigative, you could whisper your role to players you have determined to be Town members, gaining their help when trying to lynch someone you have found to be evil.
 * You can ask other players to use their ability in a certain way, e.g. roleblock someone you suspect to be the Godfather.

Uses for non-Town
Town Investigatives or roleblockers may visit you at night because whispering attracts attention. Additionally, you will reveal information to a Spy or a Blackmailer if you ask someone to team up with you.
 * As Mafia, try to kill or lynch all confirmed Spies in the game before having a nice conversation with your fellow Mafia members.
 * As a Blackmailer, you can read all the information in the whispers and provide them to your mafia and benefit them with it.
 * As an Executioner, you could whisper your target, acting like a Town Investigative or trying to make them look suspicious.
 * As a Jester, you can use whispers to spread misinformation, making you look suspicious once you are discovered, or use 'failed whispers' (like w/...)
 * As a Consigliere or Witch, you might have figured out another non-Town member's role and could ask them to team up with you.

Ignoring a player
Players may choose to "ignore" a player. If you ignore a player, you will not see any words that they say in the chat. If they attempt to whisper to you, you will see that they have sent a whisper, but you will not see the whispered message itself.

To ignore a player, type "/ignore (player name or number)". Example: /ignore John Smith /ignore 5

To be able to see a player's messages again, type "/unignore (player name or number)". Example: /unignore John Smith /unignore 5

Note: Ignoring a player only lasts for that particular game. The moment you exit a game, any ignored players will go back to not being ignored.

In the Lobby
In the Custom Mode lobby, you can type /repick to vote for replacing an inactive host or one that is not preparing a role list that you want to play. You can do this in any lobby, though it's only helpful use is in Custom Mode.

Chat Filter
The chat filter can be enabled or disabled in the "Chat" settings in the main menu. It replaces many offensive words by different words. The table below contains some examples.

Message Rejected for Vulgarity
There are several words which are deemed too offensive and as a result are completely censored. Attempts to use these words will result in the entire message being removed and a warning message being displayed to the player. Repeated use of these words can result in an automatic suspension on the player.

If the player receives a warning from closing their Last Will, they should immediately open their will and find the text with which the filter has issue. The system may pick up some words or names as trying to bypass the filter. This also applies to Death Notes.
