Twilight is a pseudo-phase between Day and Night. More specifically, it is the time period between the hammer vote that seals the Day's elimination and the time the moderator locks the thread for Night.

Moderators have varying policies about Twilight. In most cases they allow players to continue to post normally. In some cases, moderators do not allow eliminated players to post (though this leads to the problem of the eliminated player not necessarily knowing they have been eliminated). Other moderators prefer Twilight discussion to be kept to a minimum, though this is not common.

Occasionally game mechanics or roles actually use the Twilight phase. The Governor role is one.
