Eliminating

Eliminating is an action that is performed during the day phase. At any time, players may vote for someone to stand on trial, and then decide whether to eliminate or acquit the target. Eliminating is the Town's primary way to get rid of evildoers, but may end up eliminating one of their own in the process.

Selection
Anytime during the day, living players may use the vote command to add a vote to the number designation of the person they write in the command. Once the majority of players vote for one person, that person will go on Trial and become the spotlight of the Defense phase.

Defense
The player on trial is given a 30-second period to convince the Town to acquit them. All players are muted during this moment except the person on trial.

Judgement
The remaining players are now allowed to secretly vote on the fate of the person on trial. Rather than being done publicly, players type "innocent", "guilty", or "abstain" in the Direct Messages of the Godfather bot. The bot will still note publicly when someone votes, but won't reveal what the person voted. After 30 seconds, the results of the vote are revealed.

Acquittal
If the majority of people find the person on trial Innocent, or if a Draw between innocent and guilty votes occurs, the player on trial is acquitted and the day restarts at the Selection phase. The default number of trials is two, so if two trials have already occurred, with both ending in acquittals, the day will end. You can have more or less trials or disable them entirely. After an acquittal, the vote count of each option is revealed, but not the judgement that each player selected.

Conviction
If the majority of people find the person on trial to be Guilty, they will be hammered and eliminated from the game. This person's role and Last Will will be revealed, as well as the judgement that each living player selected. The day phase ends after a lynching and Night falls.

No-eliminating
It is possible for a day to proceed without any eliminations, however. The nl command (which means no eliminate) can be used as an alternative to the vote command for people who want to end the day without any convictions.

A day can end without any convictions automatically if time runs out for the day.

Plurality Votes
This is an optional setting to turn on for the Godfather Bot. When turned on, whenever the day ends without an elimination, the person with the most votes is eliminated. If the two or more people with the highest amount of votes are tied, nobody will be eliminated.

There will not be a trial when someone is eliminated through plurality, even if trials are turned on. This means that if a Jester is eliminated through this setting, they will haunt a player based on who voted them, instead of their guilty/abstains, because nobody could guilty or abstain.
