A deadline may be imposed if it seems that players are stalling out, conversation is dropping off, or discussion is wandering far into non-game-related areas, like last week's football game.
 
When imposing a deadline, it is important to keep the following things in mind:
# Make your deadline far enough out to give players a chance to absorb the new conditions for Lynch. 3-4 days is probably an absolute minimum.  Longer may be advisable in larger games. Keep in mind your own schedule too: if you're going to be out of town over the weekend, setting a Saturday noon deadline is probably poor form, as your players will be cooling their heels for 36-48 hours!
# If your deadline is retractable, be fair in deciding to retract it, and let your players know how to get out of it. Most prefer the information provided by a full-majority lynch, if possible, so if you're expecting more posts or [[Private Message]]s before you'll retract the deadline, say so!
# Never, '''ever''' let your decision to place a deadline be affected by who has the most votes! This is the worst sort of [[Metagaming]] (and interference by the [[Mod]], to boot!), and will assure you an empty house the next time you moderate a game, if it ever gets out. Instead, try to pick some neutral criteria, like ''a smaller # of posts than # of players for 4 days straight''. If players can start to predict [[Roles]] by your actions, you've doomed your game inadvertently.

A deadline is a time limit for the current day imposed by the moderator. A few games have built-in, pre-set deadlines, but in most cases a deadline is imposed ad hoc by the mod because the day is taking too long.

Ideally, a mod would never have to impose such a deadline (or Replacements, or a Mod Kill...) but these things all happen, sometimes.
