Glossary of Abbreviations

Town of Salem relies heavily on communication between players. Because the day and night phases of the game are fairly short, and a lot of evidence may need to be discussed in these short spans of time, abbreviations and acronyms can be quite helpful. Here is a list of common abbreviations and their meanings. Other variations can be used, but these are just a few.

Town
†TP can also mean Town Points, Town Protective or Transporter

Action Slang

 * BMd / BM'd / BM - Blackmailed
 * Imm / Immune - Night Immunity
 * Invested / Invd - Investigated
 * RB / RBed / R/Bd - Roleblock
 * Res / Rev - Resurrect/Revive
 * TPd / TP'd / Transed - Transported
 * Whisp / PM - Whisper
 * Witched - Controlled by the Witch

Show by Action

 * Voting and canceling your vote twice - This is the sign for being blackmailed. Note: This won't work for a revealed Mayor if 3 or less votes are required to lynch, as a mayor's vote is 3 votes, it may instantly send the person lynched. In some situations, it may also lead other townies to actually lynch the player.
 * Spy Test - This is a test to prove a spy role by whispering a code to another playing and asking the spy to say what was said, usually a number or a short word.
