Thought about this the other night, haven't tried it because i havent gotten GF yet but potential beastmode strat.

On the first day, after first night of killing, the godfather could "rat" out another mafia. They then claim to be Sheriff and request a doctor heal them (very common move for sheirff/doctor)...this would essentially buy them town allegiance and protection from doctors. Then tell ppl "not suspicious" every day after that, maybe giving up a 2nd mafia member late game.

Even neutral killers would ignore you (if they arent noob) because a sheirff usually can't find anyone but mafia. Guess it depends on hosts settings, but even if a neutral comes after you, they gotta find doctors first.

This kind of strategy is not that rare, but still very effective.
It's not flawless because you are effectively losing a fellow mafia member and, any suspicious investigator can bust you as GF (with 'immune to detection' he'll see that you are not sheriff/investig, and if not you'll directly appear as "leader"). So it's an interesting risk/reward situation which depends a lot on your acting. It works well with a consig too, especially if sheriff just got killed.

Investigator can easily put this into check. If they try to investigate and see either godfather or not suspicous than you are busted because they will know you are lying. Of course this depends on them being suspicous and not being retarded. Also you need random town or random any for it to actually work seeing as the real sheriff will speak up probably resulting in both of you dieing soon after. If there is a random role you have to be lucky and have the random town and random any roles.

also you need to bank on their not being a spy because if you don't say your plan at night the disgrunteled mafia member could rat you out causing suspicion. I would personally consider that bm but it is a very realistic posibility. If you tell them ahead of time than they might be more willing to not be little babies but then the spy could call bullshit.

Point is there are a lot of flaws in it but I agree it can be an effective stragety if you pull it off.

Also have to consider the chance that the random pug mafia you kill off getting pissed at you and revealing you out of spite
