My Strange way to play Arsonist

[Descender]

I just douse people until I gotten everyone, but if someone calls me out as bg,gf,arso I say I'm doc and I must be doused. This strat never failed me. Any better ideas?

One time, confirmed invest checked me as Arso and I tried to claim doused doc. I literally said "he was confirmed invest, why wouldn't I just claim BG" and I still got lynched, I still don't understand why.

I don't remember what mode this was, I think it was classic all any (which would explain this tbh).

Why would you wait to get everyone? You should wait to get all except one.

I claim investigator, then tell everyone I visit they are BG/GF/Arso, therefore they must be doused, then sit back and watch the panic, as you are now confirmed investi and they want the real arso lynched ASAP. Seems to work well, as long as other evils dont hit you, find you immune and call you out via death notes, (best to ignite after being attacked), also need to fake panic yourself, and push on people to make them suspect as the arso.

I did it in classic all any until I got coven a few weeks ago.

My bad, I do that unless there is a ww who I forgot to douse.

Just douse the Jailor twice or more so the Lookout can confirm you as a TP

You don't always know who jailor is,
and in some modes (mostly the ones I play) there is a good chance there are none.

You aren't "confirmed" until your targets are ignited. But if you claim doused before that everyone will know you weren't doused when you ignite. Before you're "confirmed" finding BG/GF/Arso over and over is actually extremely suspicious just like Framer/HM finding suspicious over and over.

What I do is scumread and claim sheriff VERY EARLY and find mafia VERY EARLY. If you get it wrong you can claim they were framed or act like executioner but if you're talkative enough you'll get by. And if you get it right you'll be confirmed sheriff and can claim doused until you ignite when you have everybody except for one, two, or three people. If you know the alignments of the people you're dousing, you can take advantage of the fact that town will give you a tiebreaker for your ballsy strategies (you can win in a 2v1v1 this way).

This strategy will end up getting you killed a fair percentage of the time, but almost anything is better than the abysmal winrate of NK in general. And when you do get confirmed you get left alone all game.
