Executioner

[KrispyAss]

I'm still trying to learn the roles of the games.
I can never think of a way to get my target lynched as a executioner.

What do you guys do?

Depends what tactic you want to use. You can go for the early lynch and say you are sherrif and lookout and say your target visited someone who died. However that does not always work and people will be sus of you! You cvan go for a late claim, and if your target isn't proven, your more likely to get them lynched as evil's will want them gone as well. However, waiting a while might mean your target might be proven and then it'll be even harder to lynch them!

Claiming psychic is a good move, just say 3 targets (one of them being your target), preferably try to have one of your targets dead!

Whatever you do don't just say 'X is susp' because that in itself is suspicious. Have a fake will and concoct some kind of evidence to make your target appear guilty other than 'it's just a hunch'.

I've seen Sheriffs say 'X is suspicious' and no one believed them until it was too late.

Day 2.

"Sheriff, [TARGET] is mafia/coven/SK."

Works about 50% of the time.

If you have stupid town, goes up to 99%.

My favorite tactic is not do anything. 50% of the time, your target ends up getting lynched with no help from you anyway :). If they die at night, then you become jester which is easier to win with. :)

First off, widely depends on modes, as Sg1 points out, in all any, the amount of random lyching is pretty high, you have a good shot of just getting it.

Generic strategy
exe: I hate to be the guy to do this but, N1: target - mafia

IMPORTANT, Do not spam in all caps the same thing over and over again, that's kind of the generic desperate exe or jester that wants everyone to think he's an exe hoping they will hang him. Being too forced is a good way to make the town ignore you and the jailor to execute you.


Second route: delay, but claim strategically. Now on the old ranked list, the best way IMO was wait for someone to put them on the stand, and then say I CC (then rapidly put together a will that matches their role and paste it asap), other options can vary on their role

Right now with the spy the way it is as of 6/28/17, wait until a night without mafia kills goes by, Claim spy, and say your target was visited by mafia (note, as hinted at earlier, whenever you are going to claim a role, have a notepad or your will handy, and write up a will fast, or be OCD and have a notepad with wills made up for a bunch of roles. Obviously this only works while the NK is alive.


Basically as you play the game, just watch behavior, what sort of accusations make YOU trust the accuser and vote for the accused, or what do people vote for the most often. True or false is irrelevant. Typically whatever you notice people buying, is what you should be selling.

My methods depend on a bit of luck but can work more often than not.

1. The first time I won the entire mafia and SK were alive, my target also (confirmed Vet), seeing as by N3 the town was down a lot due to the Vet killing a townie and the SK and mafia going to town literally. This works when the bad guys are virtually the majority.

Speak up, address the mafia in town chat and tell them who you are and who your target is and you will ally with them in votes, since you are night immune this removes you from both pools during night attack, they will lynch your target and you win regardless.

2. This works under certain conditions:
A: The jester has been killed.
B: Your target has been killed (turning you into jester)
C: You and the town know the town role of a player.

Similar to the above continue to claim Exe but say your target is X (who the confirmed townie is), if the town has a higher number than the mafia/SK tell them you will vote on their side. Now most classic players fall for this as the Exe target is ALWAYS a townie so they would be killing one of their own for a neutral who is night immune and make those townies a bigger target.

They will vote for you instead (mafia and SK won't target you if this fails and likely ignore the target too if you mention you will work with them the next round if the vote fails (hedge your fake bet)).

Once up on the block spend the entire defence telling them to vote inno and hang your fake target, once you get guilty tell them the truth during your final words and enjoy your win.
