In a simple bullet point, Give a survival strategy you use to survive. (Any and all roles welcome)

Use this format to keep this consistant and straight to the point....


Consig - Claim to be an escort if you feel you're in danger of being lynched, then give example(s) of some peoples who you've slept with's roles.

or

General - Remain silent and not too involved if you aren't a Sheriff or investigator. But not too silent otherwise you'll appear suspicious. Or afk, and all AFKs deserve to be Lynched.

Hah. Reminded me of this one game where the town was winning... until someone AFK'd and the mafia wasn't lynched because of that.

General - Don't talk too much and avoid being the first to type something after each night. 1-3 sentences per day is sufficient to keep you off that 'extremely silent people' list.

If find claiming to be an Investigator in a game with random townies after an investigator died much more fun. (As a Consigliere)

If I'm mafia, I tend to acknowledge the Sheriff's control over the town and encourage doctors to heal him at night. I feel like it makes me less likely to be investigated and I see it as a way of making sure the docs don't heal anyone else. I never attack a Sheriff after he claims he's Sheriff unless I've offed all the Doctors.

Also, if you're Mafia and you get blocked, it's not always a good idea to keep quiet about it since that makes the Escort think he might have the right guy. That's how I behave when I'm Escort at least-- if they guy I blocked isn't talking, he probably has a reason.

As Sheriff/Investigator, I never spill the beans on the first night. I try to gather as much evidence as I can before I feel it's necessary to let everyone know what's going on. I always set my last will to let my information be heard in case my demise comes sooner than expected.

As Witch, figuring out who the Escort is probably one of the most important things you can do. It makes the Escort look bad for sleeping with allies, and keeps you safe at the same time. It's also good to find out who the Mafia may be so you can make sure you don't friendly fire them.

As doctor, first night should always be spent protecting whoever has the color Red since they die probably 3x as much as anyone else on night 1.
