Best tip you'll ever encounter.

KEEP A LAST WILL
Godfather? Keep a LW.
Serial Killer? Keep a LW.
Useless Medium? Keep a LW. (On a separate note, I think Medium should be changed in classic mode to another role. Lots of people leave.)

I can not exaggerate how many times a LW has saved my ass, and how many of my false accusations have succeeded because I simply copy pasted my LW.


Steps to keeping a tidy and believable LW:

1. Choose what false role you're going to pretend in your LW. I find Sheriff or Investigator easiest.

2. Make sure your LW is neatly formatted.

N1- John Smith = SK/Doc

OR

N1 John Smith [SK/Doc]


3. Make sure you keep your LW updated and try to keep it accurate. Keep your LW dynamic.

- I usually update my LW right after the first night and pretend that I've investigated the person who died. People will see that the info is accurate. Don't put down too many dead people.

- Don't forget to check your LW after someone died to make sure you don't have them written down as the wrong role.

4. Going back to the last point, do try and not put down too many town roles because if you get a role wrong then the actual person with the role won't support you. Insert some one or two "role blocked" if you find it fit.

6. Use your LW. Many people don't spill their LW when getting lynched. Also, don't forget to accuse random people and then copy paste your LW with their name being the last one investigated. Some times you even guess correct and you're golden. Works like a charm.

5. If all goes bad, accuse who you think your team's opponent is. This usually doesn't work since people will see that you lied before with your LW, but it still works sometimes.

Have fun winning games!

The strategy works sometimes, but if the town is smart enougth it will only work if you claimed investigator(Make sure to have randoms) end-game when you kinda know everyone's roles, because sheriff is easier to lie so that would make you more of an suspect. You migth want to say one of your mafia members possible roles as well to make yourself less suspicious, if they are alive.(I faked wills before)

If you want to do metagaming or just be a decent player, there is ONE simple rule! Make full use of every tool you got:

1. INTERNAL INFO {graveyard, role list, chat, last will (and death note, e.g. to reveal immunes <.<) ...}
2. EXTERNAL INFO {wiki "roles" page (and blankmedia "roles" page, e.g. to read the role attributes of your choice to the jailor <.<) ...}
3. YOUR INPUT {your brain --> analyzing every visible action of every person as efficiently as possible and acting based on results, knowledge, estimated probabilites, ...}

The best tip I can give to that is to keep a will brief and concise. Most of the time, I've seen it work because no one will bother to read a will that's a paragraph long. I certainly don't mind.
Do you really want to know whether I'm a

They should instead buff Medium (Combine with retributionist, make both the roles more interesting)

no, if they remove the medium, and you have important info, you have to tell the medium, if theres no medium, u r fked.
not everyone leaves, if people leave, and you are the medium, you have bad luck.
