Any Night Actions that player may have had before becoming "stumped" are removed. As Tree Stumps cannot vote, they are not counted as living players for any purpose.
Exactly how one becomes a Tree Stump varies from game to game and role to role. Some examples:
A player may, as part of their role, declare themselves to be a Tree Stump inthread.
Instead of a normal kill, a killing role may instead turn players to Tree Stumps instead.
It is, of course, possible to kill a player before they declare themselves a Stump.
The ability to turn oneself into a Tree Stump is generally given to pro-Town players, especially if a person becomes stumped after a death-like flip so their alignment is known. Mafia-aligned Tree Stumps (or other nonparticipating roles) will sometimes continue to try to actively manipulate the Town, but most will simply not bother to post (especially if their alignment is known).
