Mafia 84. Memorized it, turned it in, forgot it!

what does "clues" mean? what does it look like? how long is a day/night in our astronomical time? is it also 24 hours? what time does the day start/night end? I don't understand when I need to send my turn/wait for the result, or when to wait for the newspaper. will there be one thread for the entire game? will there be separate threads for voting and new days? can I change my vote? can we chat about other things? (e.g., Skype, VK, or at least private messages) is "elimination" the same as "killing"? do "activist," "slacker," and "pillow victim" have night actions? are they like dummies? :) it seems like simple rules; last time I checked, it was more complicated. if the moderator agrees to answer questions during the game, then I'm in.
