Salem Slang: Town of Salem Dictionary for Dummies

A quick guide on slang and abbreviations used in ToS. Will probably only be useful for newer players, not so much for experienced people.

Currently Coven roles/abbreviations not included, may add in future.

Short Intro

Most of the abbreviations listed here have already been documented on the ToS Wiki[town-of-salem.fandom.com]

As a newer player, hoping into a game and seeing a bunch of random letters and numbers in chat is probably pretty daunting. The main goal of this guide is to let newer players know what chat abbreviations mean so they can understand what people are talking about.

I have just rephrased, added explanations, and cut down on the less common abbreviations for newer players to have an easier time understanding these slangs.

Check out the ToS Wiki page for the complete list of abbreviations (including Coven) here[town-of-salem.fandom.com].
