Libera:Hint

Hinting is the practice of using small messages called hints to share information about what you did that night (and for roles like the seer, the result too) with the channel at night (if the rules of the channel you are playing in allow it). Hints take on many forms, but the most common is the seer hint, which is usually composed of the first few letters from the nickname of the player which the seer saw and the first letter of the role (for example, if a seer wanted to hint that they saw the player as a, they would say  or , depending if there are more players whose nickname begins with the letter ). Since there's a seer or an oracle in most game modes, other roles such as the harlot might use a seer hint to hide their real role, but still share what they did.

Fakehinting
Fakehinting is the practice of giving fake hints as a role that doesn't have anything to hint (like the villager or the hunter) to camouflage real seer hints. If someone sends a fake hint, that doesn't mean they want to harm the village, it's the opposite: they want to help the seer by fakehinting to camouflage the real seer hint in fake hints, so the wolf does not know who is the seer.
