Is it more like a weird voting system or more like how voting typically is? ---

Not official answers: > [@](#): > > Is Prayer a public action, ie, if I Pray does everyone know for sure if I am Praying? It would almost have to be private. Otherwise, if the last lyncher didn’t pray, then everyone else would know that e was going over to the sinful side, and would immediately vote for em. > [@](#): > > And along those same lines, during the time that one is praying, is it safe to assume they are somehow restricted, either not allowed to talk, or strategize, or vote or something? I think this is the same thing I asked above, to which the answer was that prayers are not restricted. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > No, they are not allowed to talk or no they are not not allowed to talk? Make sense? Sorry. Praying is a Night Action, and it follows the rules for regular night actions. Meaning that it has no extra cost, does not hamper one’s ability to talk, etc. (Though if the player has another night action, he can’t do both.) ---

So everything is normal, it’s just that you lose your night action for the next two nights, got it. ---
