Ok, since I've had to explain the process of phantoms several times, maybe if Manti stickies this it'll be easier.
Phantoms are the result of inactivity. When a player does not vote to lynch someone during the day phase, a phantom is awarded.
Note: this only applies for regular lynchings. If a players is insta-lynched no phantoms are awarded.
The phantoms are broken down into 3 stages.
Phantom #1
When a person recieves their first phantom it counts as .001 votes against them. In essence, if you have one vote and a phantom you would technically have 1.001 votes.
Phantom #2
After you recieve your second phantom you now have a full vote against you. So basically, if you've recieved two phantoms your vote count during the day phase will automatically read: 1.001 Regardless of if anyone's voted for you, you'll still have a minimum of 1.001 vote(s).
Phantom #3
After you recieve 3 or more phantoms you recieve a game ban. Usually the length of the game ban is 1-2 games. This includes both jTWG and TWG and any other games that arise after this thread.
FAQs
Q: If I have a phantom can I still vote?
A: Yes, you can still vote.
Q: What if I have a good reason?
A: Individual excuses can be appealed to the host of the game.
Q: How do I know if I have a phantom?
A: Each host displays it differently. Some use the font color in gray, some bold it. There will always be a post in or after the death post saying who was awarded phantoms.
You can also always PM the host and ask.
Q: If I have a phantom and everyone has one vote including me who dies?
A: Given that the phantom counts as .001 or 1 you would die since you'd technically have the most votes against you.
After Thought: Remember everyone, phantoms are a perfect reason why you NEED to be active in the games.
