TWO: DAY PHASE (DP)

VI) Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I arrive and post a death scene. All players may continue to post during Twilight.
VII) Prods: If you have failed to post for over 48 hours, I will send you a prod. Failure to respond to this prod within 48 hours will result in the replacement of that player.
Force-replacing of flakers/rule-breakers will be occur at my discretion.
