101 Lies...

[cookies4you]

... of Mafia. The goal of this thread is to reach 100 posts and thus, 101 ways of lying in Mafia. In all your posts, you must include one, and only one, way to lie in Mafia. It can be anything from realistic to idiotic. Here's mine:

1:
Roll as a Veteran. Wait for a random player to leave, claim moderator and say that you kicked him. Go alert at night and wait for the idiots to flock you.

[wolfcheese]

2:
Roll as a Sheriff. Someone has a stupid + hateful name, so you pull a false lead on them and then claim exec after they die. If exec's set to invincible at night, no one will bother you until your next lead!

(The one time I tried this I got the godfather killed. hotness.)

[Rocshi]

3: Roll as the Godfather. Claim Sheriff Day 1, and claim x player is either Cultist or Arsonist (I find more people believe those two more than Mafia or SK and of course make sure settings allow that to be found) and get them lynched. Afterwards, claim Executioner victory. In games with actual intelligent players (I won with this in a game with multiple Patrons and a mod, see my thread "I do not understand pubbies" to see what happens with baddies) no one should bother you. Similar to the Sheriff gambit up there, but that could potentially work against you.

[creedkingsx]

4: Role as Witch. Check rules. If Amnesiac reveals to town, claim Amnesiac and say you will vote for town. Especially try to sell you are relatively new and need the role win and are unsure of the fact the you get the win if you claim a new role. Rofl at town when they realize you are Witch and vote with Mafia.

[Jim]

5: Role as Cereal Killer. Tell town you are doctor, when question otherwised refer to ur 11k+ points and tell them they don't understand the rules of the game.

[Jacob]

6:
As Jester, accuse Red of being the Godfather on day one. Claim vigilante and say you shot him, but he was immune.

[Ash]

7:
Role as Survivor, pick a neutral name, if you pick an offensive name you will be attacked on night one. Try to not be noticeable. After Night 2/3 make sure you start using your vests. Once you get attacked, don't say anything about being attacked the next day. If someone accuses you of being Godfather that day, explain your point of view and say he is mafia.

[Kromos]

8:
Role as Doctor. Claim sheriff and that you got a mafia result on someone you believe is scum from scum tells. Then keep asking for heals while you heal other people. Mafia are unlikely to attack you while there is still a doc alive even if you are that doc.

[Kromos]

9:
Role as Witch. Claim survivor and don't control people. There is no way to differentiate between a survivor and an inactive witch.

[Ash]

10:
Role as Disguiser, make a investigator/sheriff/detective/lookout claim and accuse someone random (not your team mates) of being mafia/SK/witch/Arsonist/cult. If they get successfully lynched then you might as well disguise either way unless he was the role you really accused him of. If they believe you are an investigative role, then get more people lynched, then disguise. It's preferable to disguise as someone who is trusted to be town, and you have to impersonate him as well. If there's a confirmed sheriff/investigator, do not double attack him with mafia kill + disguiser, because if the doctor is smart he will know he got disguised.

Role as Witch. Claim survivor and don't control people. There is no way to differentiate between a survivor and an inactive witch.

Just to point out, there is. If the only Neutral is adv. neutral, Survivor impossible ^^v Amnesiac is a better cover.

11: Role as Godfather. Claim Veteran when you realize it isn't excluded from randoms, tell people to check you and that you won't be on alert, then claim you will be on alert the rest of the ame. ^^v

[cookies4you]

12.

Roll as anything and claim Mason. No one will bother you for the rest of the game.

[Necrolord]

99. THROW THE THREAD!

[Muso]

13.

Die.
Wait til the screen is being spammed with chat
Type -roulette 100 2
Wait til opponent joins
Convince them it is a 10 shot revolver

[Raptorblaze]

14.
Roll as Bus Driver. Wait until Mason leader reveals and his other two masons back him up. Claim mason and accuse all three of being the mafia. When the mason leader is lynched claim confused investigator and lynch the other two as well. Mafia will never attack you again.


Someone actually did this in a game with me.

[Azire]

15.:
Role as Jester, get put on the stand, claim Spy, when you can't verify PMs automatic lynch.

[philie]

16
Get jailed as disguiser. Claim To be something ridiculous: jailor or mayor or spy. When you get out jailor might whisper you, disguise as the jailor.

[Jacob]

17: As Executioner. As soon as someone makes an accusation (ex: "red is mafia, im sheriff"), claim Bus Driver, and then say you switched the accused (ex: red) with your execution target. Red is likely to follow along and claim to be bussed, as his own alibi, and his mafia will certainly back you up. Your target will be lynched immediately.

[creedkingsx]

19: Benefactor yourself as Jester. Pick Archangel or Necroplant as your name. ROFL your way to victory. ^^v

[Dust]

20: With any role, claim doctor day 1. People will think you are veteran and will not target you for anything. Results may vary (depending on intelligence of pubs).

This doesn't work. It makes you look like a Serial Killer. Strategy is based on how the movements of the other people on the game. If you constantly get called a Serial Killer through this "strategy," it isn't the other people that are stupid. It is you for assuming it is a good strategy just because you thought of it. It is better to not say anything as Doctor.

21: As Cultist, convert a recently revealed Mayor who keeps his votes in the cult. If you are being lynched, convince the town that you are a failure at Cult and never was able to convert anyone.

[cookies4you]

22. As a Mafia player, act smart and show your signs of intelligence. Players who use grammar and punctuation correctly tend to be listened to more often than those who act idiotic and stupid. If a Sheriff identifies you as Mafia, claim that you were framed. This charade will only last about 3 nights, however.

[MagmaRam]

23 just happened to me. As Jester, fake a false PM to a random guy saying to kill a certain player. Use an underscore to look like a typo of -pm. Claim badly when on trial.

[Yumbra]

24 : As a citizen or mason, try to attract stupid amount of attention from Mafia/SK and try to get yourself killed. This will save other important town members for now...

That's what I do. I managed to save the Doctor, Sheriff and Detective from getting killed after revealing their identities. Instead, I was burned, shot, murdered and sniped by 4 different players. The 3 managed to pull through, save the day, and the Spy managed to survive.

25. As a Sheriff, get a Doctor to heal you. Once you've survived the night and got a town killed, claim Executioner. The Mafia should leave you alone long enough to gather information about them.

[GriM-DeMoN]

26: When your Godfather Always claim bodyguard works every time with me.
Just say been protecting and just say random people.
I Promise you this will work alot

[GriM-DeMoN]

27. As a witch claim Amnesiac day one and say you will take winning team at the end.
It always keeps u alive

[Deathfire123]

28. As Veteran, make sure PMs are on, and purposely typo -pm, saying, "Hey I like your name so I'm healing you tonight" a second before the day ends.

Watch as hilarity ensues

Hey, I like your avatar.

29. As a Witch, say in your last will that you made someone target you. If you die at night, that person will probably die as well.

[Raptorblaze]

30. Roll Doctor, claim sheriff d1, accuse random people of being mafia every day. Mafia will never attack because they think you're being healed.

[Guardian]

31. Roll Cultist, claim Sheriff, lynch town, claim Exe, and watch as no-one targets you. Results may vary based on WIFOM capaility of pubs.

[Yumbra]

32. Roll Jester, at day 1 claim Survivor. If town are not suspicious yet, then make sure you indicate the fact that you'll help Mafia regardless of the situation so they don't kill you at night. This will make town have no choice but to lynch you as you are a potential threat for them to lose the game. Day 1 usually have no lynch due to lack of clues so therefore town will put that too good use to kill a potential threat.

And make sure you put a little cheeky smile at the end.

[Yumbra]

33. Roll BlackMailer, night 1 don't blackmail anyone. Day 1 don't talk and spam vote when it's available. This will indicate to town you are blackmailed, and town will think you've been target by mafia and hence you're not mafia. You can use this as a defense during a suspicion on you of being as a mafia with other lies such as being framed. This method can also be used on and with other mafia members.

This method is fairly risky due to few reason:
1. You will attract attention from town meaning detection could take place upon you.
2. If 2 or more mafia is involved in this method, and one of your mafia member got killed can potentially mean people see that people who claim bm can be mafia. Especially if the one who died is not the blackmailer.
3. Noob games can result in this method failing, like someone think you random lynch and everyone goes and lynch you.

[creedkingsx]

34. As Serial Killer (to lazy to look up pink color code) Be active in defending towns members. This is a very delayed method, but if you actively point out the harder to notice details that can prove someone's innocence, it sells you as a townsperson, just avoid being asked what you are. Because you are looking for details that potentially anyone can point out, you don't need to worry about providing a evidence towards a role. It buys you a lot of time to get you in a convincing spot to wins ties with mafia members.

[Muso]

Lol some of these are actually pretty good.

[Raptorblaze]

35. Roll Any Mafia along with blackmailer on your team. Never blackmail anyone. Fake BMed n1 and put the suspicion on the BMer (usually by repeatedly voting and canceling on him) Instant town "confirmed" status when he is lynched, for moderately skilled players anyway. Veterans might not be persuaded so easily.

[Admiral]

36a.
Roll any town.
" I am blackmaile . "

36b.
Roll any town.
" He's not blackmailed. The "b" in "blackmailed" should actually be a "B." "

[Deathfire123]

37:
roll doc claim jester, watch as no one believes you

[Jacob]

38. As Jester, claim Jester. Threaten anybody who calls you a fake jester that they will suicide at night. Beg them to vote inno.

[Ganondorf]

39) As bodyguard in a game with a confirmed witch, claim vigilante. Let the witch make you target yourself: LOL as you protect yourself from attacking mafia.

This method may work in regards to not getting excessive amount of attention, as detection may take place and also the fact that Mafia may target you, finding you immune - If doctor dead with last will of who he heals, you're in big trouble.

Sacrificing your Mafia is never worth the point of getting a confirmed town status. Instead it will get you attention and making Mafia weaker. Town will challenge you into revealing your role, as if you know who blackmailer is you must be a detection role, so info must be given everyday. For any chance, your info will be made up and be false, putting suspicion on you (unless you happen to be a consil). Getting attention may put yourself into detection by town to double check your role, putting yourself in danger. Nevertheless giving up your ally in regards for a status is never a good trade.

It has a lot of situational use, but generally claiming you were never attacked and mafia is trying to get a town lynched will save you well

[Yumbra]

I've seen Mafia use death note in regards to someone being immune. It's a risky method, because mafia will know who SK is and decide whenever they want him lynch they can say "I found SK, I'm Sheriff" or in a similar fashion when they want him to be killed. (Usually later in the game on situation like 3 mafia vs 3 town vs 1 sk. But I agree with you in this case if a mafia is stupid enough to claim that they attack someone and say that he was immune.

Sacrificing your teammate is generally just a cop-out strategy if suspicion is already on them. This is probably more useful when sheriff is gone and only an invest remains, but I've seen it done successfully before (though to an afk blackmailer)

[Raptorblaze]

40. Roll Any Evil Killing Role (must be able to leave death notes)
Prereqs: You must be a donor, and there must be another Donor/Patron/Benefactor/Associate in game who used a colored name.
Insert colored HTML code into your death notes, dumb pubs will have a feeding frenzy on the donor with a colored name. Preferably don't color your name. Only works with sheep.

You could also hide your donor status (command) at the beginning so that they don't know there's another donor in game.

[Auckmid]

41. Roll Arsonist, then douse 1 or 2 of the more townish players. PM those townies, telling them that you are sheriff and that you know that they are innocent. They will be so thrilled that they have a big PR as an ally, they will say that you are town alligned in their last wills when they get inncinerated. The town will then trust you, and you shall be safe from mafia. Dosn't sound that great, but it's been very succesful for me in pub games

[Auckmid]

Some very good ones. Ganondorf's sounds preaty epic, and Azzure's was a tactic which I had never seen before a couple of days ago, but was a very impressive new jester tactic.

[Ganondorf]

My lie was inspired by a bus driver switch (which resulted in a self-protect kill), not a witching actually. Auckmid, I've actually seen an arsonist use that tactic before: he almost won, but with 3 people alive (himself, a mafia, an executioner), he lynched the executioner who had become a jester. The arsonist ignited the mafia and suicided also, bringing forth the Jester win screen It was a good game nonetheless

[cookies4you]

42. Roll as a Godfather with detection immunity. Claim Survivor and don't do anything at night. If you survive or were attacked, say that you'll side with town. Now, everyone will believe you are a town-member while in reality, you're a Godfather.
