[Strategy] Surviving till the end as an "executor". Opinions.

[paco]

Hi guys,

Well I had tried a lot of strategies with different roles and as far as I concern one of the best ways to survive till the end is being an executor who has already sucessfully achieved his goal.

Reason: There is no interest for Town, Mafia, SK, arsonist ... to target you, you are just completelly neutral for them.

However, you cannot always be an executor...
This is why you will try to be one. I used to do it the second day after first night of deaths, i just say im lookout/inv/sheriff/detective and try to get someone randomly lynched.

If I success killing randomly a townie, i just said im executor. If it is really a mafia, i just said im proven investigator and calls doc to heal me (Mafia and sk most times dont attack you in this case and if they do it there are high possibilities of being healed). Up to this point, most of times you can survive to the later stages of the game specially before neutral roles are revealed.
One of the effect that this strategy automatically provokes is that all sheriffs, investigators, detective... check you same night..., the only problem you can have is the investigator (obviously), for sheriff you are NS, for detective you visited nobody. And if the investigator is not stupid, he wont reveal himself or your role.
However there is a risk of being framed (unlikelly because mafia doesnt have interest to lynch executor).

Surviving till the end is specially useful for some town roles as mayor, investigator, sheriffs, mason leaders in cult games, or also for survivors that getting to late stages of the game without using vests is extremelly useful. As a mafia role its not recommended because all roles checkers can put you in trouble.

In later stages when you got important information as investigator/sheriff you can easily reveal your real identity and giving proofs (guilty/inno/abstained voters), the proofs of your investigations, etc...so you gain the credibility you need to get all those mafias/sk lynched


I have won a lot of games with this trick and i like to use it when i have those roles, the bad point is that you sacrifice someone to gain "inmunity", its what i call "collateral damage".
However one of the most dangerous part of this strategy is when you look too much as executor and you dont achieve your goal of lynching randomly someone, most of times you get jailed and executed. This situation is rare, i would say that i can lynch anyone first day in 80% of times.

Yeah, as a Godfather works too, however you take the risk of investigators checking you and getting "sinister citizen" from you (obviously you can take now a jester image and solve the problem, but you run the risk at same time of being jailed and executed), detectives can follow you and agaiinst that you cannot do anything except trying to convince town he is lying and obviously not killing him... (however detectives one of the easiest roles to prove).

Personally i think a mafia role is much easier to play than any town role, as a mafia i have won near 70% of my games. Framers and consiglieres are roles extremelly easy to apply deception techniques. As a consigliere i have lynched sometimes my own GF to gain credibility (obviously when other investigator mentioned it... and in late stages), also as consigliere you can look as investigator. With Framer you can also try to be investigator or even a jester!, you can also pretend to be spy with any maf role, etc...

it was funny today a game where i was Consigliere and i lynched my own GF, the reason was that he was AFK 2 nights so in 3rd day i decided to lynch him. I was healed, and everybody believed i was investigator till the end, when we were 2 vs 2 and i convinced one townie to lynch the other one xD

by far the most difficult role to win with is arsonist. Unless you dont get checked, most of times you get lynched, as a defense you can only say you are "bus driver", however you didnt switch anybody yet... GUILTY

Yeah. Arso needs help. the witch can at least side with the mafia.

Which reminds me when I was "exec" a witch claimed survivor and there was a paradox since there was only 1 spot left for neutral. Mafia had 3/4 votes needed for absolute power. So we lynched him thinking he really was survivor, turns out he was witch and the dummy didnt side with mafia for witch win.

(almost happened in another game too, but we had to explain witch won with mafia, almost screwed me over to. It was 1town 1mafia 1witch.)

EXECUTOR, you mean EXECUTIONER? NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, INDEED!
