Posting in twilight - what is the default rule?

This forum is for discussion related to the game.

If the Mod doesn't say anything about it in the rules, is it permissible to post in twilight?

Shelper, those concerns should be addressed by the mod before the game starts. If the mod has rules concerning what can and cannot happen during twilight, then there probably shouldn't be any question as to when twilight has started.

Even though I'm pretty sure that it's the default way of doing things, I'm not a big fan of the "post until the mod shows up" rule because twilight discussion may be cut off very quickly or drag on for a week for no reason better than when the mod had time to post the lynch scene.

On the other hand, Mith is right, very little of value actually can be said during twilight. The one really big thing that can happen during twilight is a townie revealing all of his information once he knows that he's been lynched. I suppose it's up to you as a mod whether you like a player to get that opportunity. You might put a time limit on twilight posting, or a post limit. This might be something to decide based on the scenario.

So you consider posting in twilight to be a breach of honor, or you simply forget that you might be allowed to?

I hope that you have more than one twilight rule (besides no twilight) when you instate the automatic vote counts. I'd like to see a "one post" twilight rule, as well as a 24-48 hour twilight rule. But I agree that twilight shouldn't be arbitrated by when the mod happens to be online.

I'd like to tear this to shreds, I really would. But since it comes completely from left field I feel that I can't in good faith argue against it unless you elaborate on the reasoning leading to your conclusion.
