It's been a few months since I've played TOS but I recently got back into it, and boy did I miss it.I mainly play AllAny or Ranked games, and here are some tips and tricks from somebody who's been playing for around three years. These can help beginners or pros alike.
Tips and tricks for if you're: Mafia
The mobsters of olden... Olds. Old times. Ancient Town of Salem... Times. The. MAFIA. Yes. They're evil, conniving, treacherous, sometimes dumb, but above all. They're one of the most OP killing roles. Consisting of 2-5 players and having roles that can. Deceive and. And like kill. Yes. They're bad.
1. This should be a no-brainer, but never ever say each other's names in the chat. Spies can read the chat and can see what you all say. Use somebody else's name. Somebody who's not a part of the Mafia, and hope they're not survivor or witch heehe. Also, don't use noticeable slang. And if you do, don't use the same slang during town meetings. Spies can see "Oh ! That person and this person talk the exact same" or "This person and that person said the same thing". (Spies shouldn't lynch somebody based just off this but like u know. Some are dumb like that, and the gullible town members will be like 'oh okay') (ALSO I JUST READ THE UPDATE AND NOW IT TELLS THE MAFIA IF THERES A SPY OR NOT SO ?? IGNORE THIS TIP IG)
2. Never go out on a full moon unless the werewolf is confirmed dead, or there's no werewolf in the game. Werewolves kill everything in their paths. It's better to wait it out than to risk getting killed. Especially if there's less than four maf in the game.
3. Don't random lynch. In a game full of experienced players, they'll call you out. The only lucky time this works is if your maf friends or random village-idiots lynch the person you're going for. Everybody else will join in due to idk peer-pressure or whatever. Just the way it goes ig.
4. DON'T TAKE VET BAITS. I've been in many games where the Godfather or the Mafioso have taken the vet baits on day one. The people who say "I hate being doctor" or "Investigator is so boring" day one are usually veterans trying to lure in the Mafia. Or just really dumb people. Or really smart people making the mafia THINK that they're vet. Hoohoo.
5. If the consigliere finds out somebody is doctor, kill them last if there's any other bigger threat (IE: Investigator, Mayor, Bodyguard, etc) The doctor can't kill. He can only heal, and he doesn't know who he's healing at that.
6. If the consig finds out somebody is a killing role that's against the Maf, try claiming to be sheriff or lookout. By being sheriff, you can tell the people that said person is maf. Even if they aren't maf, the town will see that they were evil. Lookout, in my opinion, is better. You can say "so and so visited this person before they died" and gain the town's trust by lynching, say, the arsonist, a vampire, the werewolf or the serial killer. However, if you do lynch a vampire and his/her vamp buddies find out, they'll probably try to bite you and you will die.
7. Kill the jailor as soon as you find out who it is. They're crucial to your role. Or the investigator. The jailor can lock you up and you're forced to spill a town role, but if you can't back it up, you're dead. The invest can see a list of what you could be. If you aren't the other two/the town one, you're dead. However, you can make the town turn on the person trying to call you out and call them a possible "Exe"
8. Speaking of exe, the executioner's role is to try to get their target lynched. If somebody tries to get you lynched, call them an exe and resume in trying to kill people.
9. Always claim surv and have a back-up will. A lot of games won't let you copy and paste, but you can use the ctrl-v and ctrl-c to copy and paste surv details.Survivor wins with everybody and a Godfather can survive the longest with this claim. The surv has four bullet-proof vests and if somebody (like the sk claiming to be vig or arso claiming to be vig) claims that you're immune, say that you used a vest. I don't like it when one of my maf claims to the jailor or to the mayor that they're transporter or escort. Because then they'll have to claim it or something and it's a pain trying to cover for them.
10. Never pick a role to cover under if you can't prove it. Like, I get it when my blackmailers try to claim spy, but in the end when he's alone as a mafioso and they try to make him claim spy like it's just a messy situation. I'd like to just claim surv.
Tips and tricks for: Executioner
You're the stubborn guy who's hell-bent on killin' that one dude who stole your mashed potatoes during thanksgiving and you're very petty so you're like. Okay. HOW ABOUT I MANIPULATE THE TOWN IN GETTING THIS F*CKER LYNCHED and you know what, it can be pretty refreshing after you kill them. Plus, you're immune the rest of the game and you get to pick sides and stuff afterward.
1. Claim sheriff and say your target is maf. If the town is dumb enough, they'll actually hang 'em.
Tips and tricks for: Jester
JESTER is either really fun or really boring, depending on how you play it out. You're the annoying suicidal myspace dude just tryina get yourself lynched. Tis not a phaseth, mother.
1. Stay quiet, even when asked for a role. If they put you up claim spy and when they do the spy test, stay quiet. Beg for mercy like a maf member would
2. Try not to get yourself killed at night. Don't make yourself so annoying that the maf or any other killing role has to murder you at night. Do it just to get lynched and hopefully, nobody calls out your role.
Tips and tricks for: Mayor
I don't like that they took away the whisper option, but then again, the town was always op as hell with that option, so I guess it's good now. Plus, there are other things you can do as mayor. For example,
1. ALWAYS CALL YOURSELF OUT DAY TWO. Doctors, jailors, and bodyguards (I think ?? I haven't read the updates yet) will be all over your ass that following night. Only call yourself out when there's a known protecting role. The first day don't call yourself out because there isn't enough time for one of them to act. There's only like, what, 10 seconds for discussion, and that's usually the time jesters and vets speak.
2. Always make a bond with the jailor. They will be your best friend if there's nobody else who you can conspire with. If there is a jailor, and if the jailor isn't a complete moron.
3. Bad mayors make players say their roles out loud. That's how you get yourself hated on and people will stop trusting you, ergo you won't be immune at night.
4. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Wait it out for a bit. Tell lookouts to look after so-and-so and have invests look after so-and-so.
Tips and tricks for: Investigator
You're the guy everybody either hates or loves. You can be either really useful or really detrimental. Having everybody's roles on your will, and having the whole town see them when your dead can be pretty annoying. If you die and have a role by a person's name, that can be very dangerous. Now the maf knows that person is either this town role or this town role or this neutral role or this town role. Especially if all the options are either maf or town. Then they know you must be this town person thing. But, if you're lucky it'll weed out all the maf and werewolves and serial killers n' stuff.
1. Never ever jump to conclusions. I see that too much. "IT SAYS DOCTOR, OR SERIAL KILLER IG THEY'RE SERIAL KILLER SMH" like just wait. Hold on a diddily darn second. That's what whispers are for. Ask 'em what they're role is. If they're sk they'll say doc, if they're doc they will probably withhold information bc they don't trust you. Some experienced players memorized (BUT NOTE: Some experienced players memorized the invests will, and so experienced sks will know what to say when they're called out and have invests put on them. However, in AllAny it's harder to know who's lying and who's not because I once had four doctors in one game. It was wild. The fourth doctor was begging for mercy and claiming he was doctor with all his heart; it was hilarious.)
2. Don't go out on full moons. Ever. Unless the werewolf is confirmed dead or not present at all.
3. Always write down assumptions in your will for people to read when you die. It might be very useful later on. You could help town win !!
Tips and tricks for: Witch
The magical hag of the town. It's either a useful role or a useless role. I haven't played witch in a long time, so I don't really know what's changed, but I guess I'll just give you guys some tips that you may already know.
1. If you find a killing role, don't go off killing people willy-nilly. You win with maf and you need them later on. So try to only attack those who are confirmed town.
2. If you find a doctor and you have no use for any other person, just continue to heal yourself and wait it out for maf
3. I don't have any real advice to get Maf to notice you as a witch. Just hope there's a consig :\ or you can whisper to a confirmed maf, but I wouldn't advise it early on because there might be spies.
Tips and tricks for: Serial Killer
This one is the most lonely and hard to use, for me. You have a sh*t ton of advantages with sk, but it's hard to cover yourself. You can't really disguise yourself as surv, because invests would be on your ass, and sometimes you're forced to take cover as doctor.
1. What I usually do, is I make a pact with the executioner. I tell them I will help them lynch their target if they keep up the ruse that I am healing them.
2. This can work only if the spy is dead or there isn't a spy present. If a spy claims you're whispering something else, kill them. Tell people that you and the exe are protecting yourself. The exe can claim bg and that they are protecting you claim you heal them. It's a win-win situation. Especially since exes and serial killers are immune at night.
Tips and tricks for: Escorts and Consorts
Being an escort or a consort can be excruciatingly boring, and these people are the people who usually leave by the second day because they HATE their role. Right ? Tell me you like being an escort or a consort with a straight face.
1. What I do if I'm an escort is I usually just rb the quiet people. The suspicious quiet ones. I hope they're not vet, too.
2. When I'm consortI usually wait out the entire game until I become a killing role. Or I rb confirmed vigs.
Tips and tricks for: Survivors
Dawh. All you wanna do is stay at home, silently and survive ! Well, that's not gonna be easy. You can't be too quiet and seem suspicious, but you can't be too noisy to get yourself killed. You've got to play surv really well in order to live through the whole game.
1. The first thing is to pick a side. You're either town pretending to be on mafs side, or you're maf pretending to be on towns side. I usually pick maf unless they're low on people and they don't have a consig. In order to gain the trust of the maf, claim it at the very start of the game and lay low. Don't vote, don't lynch. Lay low. Unless you're jailed.
2. A lot of pros know that maf claims surv a lot, so you really gotta gain the trust of townies. Exchange your theories with those who ask and if people start kind of getting stumped, don't let it turn on you. Say you're opinions, but don't call people out.
3. Never vest on the first night unless you call yourself out then. Mafia members are tricky. They're either stubborn and imbecilic, or they're loyal and intelligent. They usually won't risk wasting a kill on a surv claim, if they're smart, so don't be afraid to call yourself out. But always use your vest that night, just in case everybody in the maf are idiots. You shouldn't have to use yourself the next two nights because you win with everybody. But idk man. Survs can be tricky. It's all how the enemies see you.
Tips and tricks for: Jailors
I have the most luck with jailors. Whenever I'm a jailor I make really good accusations. I think of myself in a killing position, trying to come up with a role. I also took four psych classes in college, so I know what people are thinking and how they react in certain situations. It's the time management, how they act under pressure, and what they say.
1. "Hello" is something usually guilty people say. Trying to sweet talk/butter up/manipulate the jailor with small talk is usually how they'll go about pleading innocent. Don't automatically kill them just based off of this, though.
2. If you see them type like a maniac in the town chat, and they go pretty slow in the jail chat trying to figure out what to come back with for "role", deem them suspicious, and talk about it with the mayor in your next chat. Or jot it all down in your will. But be weary of forgers. I hate forgers when I'm invest or jailor.
3. Never answer to "who was jailed ?" when nobody was killed. Some maf members don't kill on purpose to lure out the jailor since jailors are highly dangerous to the killing roles. Be weary of who says that.
Tips and tricks for: Arsonist
Pyromaniac freak ! You are. I hate hate hateD this role, just because of the need to clean off your hands after every douse, BUTBUTBUTBUTBUTBUT it's hella fun now. I read the update, and I think it's cool not knowing there's an arso amongst you all. Unless maf has a consig. Even then, it's hard for them to randomly yell out "SO AND SO IS AN ARSO" without sounding like exe or consig.
1. Claim surv. Always. Or if you gotta, claim BG.
2. Always have a BG will and make a deal with exe (like in the Serial Killer tips and tricks)
3. Kill a little at a time. Don't waste the whole game dousing people and not cleaning your hands off. You never know when you're going to get lynched. I'd do one or two at a time, unless one of them or all of them get/gets killed.
Tips and tricks for: Werewolf
One of the most fun yet boring killing roles. You kill everything and everyone in your way. Nothing can stop you from getting to your target... Except the lack of a full moon and/or a veteran. I usually have good instincts on who's vet and who's not, but
1. JUST TO BE SAFE, go to the houses you KNOW aren't vet. Try not to fall for vet bait.
2. Make friends with as many enemies possible.
3. Always claim to either wear a vest, be jailed, or be transported when claimed immune/when claimed to be where somebody was killed(via lookout)
4. idk what else just. don't die, don't random lynch, everything else for the other killing roles lmao
Tips and tricks for: Transporter and Janitor
Two other roles people find boring. You can't really make it fun, unless you really really try.
1. I wouldn't transport anybody with anybody until you get some decent leads. Just to be safe.
2. Neither of ya'll should go out on a full moon
3. DO NOT DO NOT CLEAN PEOPLE ON THE FIRST OR SECOND NIGHT. WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE IN THEIR WILLS THAT'S SO VITAL TO THE MAFIA WINNING. NOTHING. SO DON'T DO IT. I've had many janitors and forgers go off on people on the first two nights like. Like no, listen. Wait until like the third night AT LEAST or until we KNOW who's jailor/invest okay
Tips and tricks for: Vampires >:F
THE S-CLASS FILLAINS. THE THAKERTH OF THHE NIGHT. THE BLOOD THUCKIN' NIGHTMARETH.The FAMpires. I think that the vampires are hella freakin' fun to play as. Especially if you're momma/dad vamp. The vampire families tend to be more loyal and fun than the mafia members. The maf are expected to do this and that and have all specific roles and get angry when things don't go right. VAMPS, on the other hand, are randomly selected and you become loyal once you're a vamp. Plus you can deceive others. Like. "WELL I GOT THIS MAF OUT AND I WAS PROVED TOWN BY SO-AND-SO" and it's so fun.
1. IF YOU'RE OG VAMP go after the proven town people. Like. Not so popularly proven that you'll get killed by a BG or a WW or an SK, but you know. Those people in the back like 'hey im invest lol'. The lowkey goodies that are like "OH YAY WE KILLED MAF".
2. If you're a young-un, try communicating with the eldest and be like 'hey yo this dudes onto me' or 'we should kill' bc they should be understanding and like 'ok lol im not dying u r'. Plus, the chats can be super fun if you make 'em out to be. UNLESS THERE'S A-----
Tips and tricks for: Vampire Hunter
Once u see Vampire in ur name in green u know its gon b a lit af game.You're like well shit THERE IS VAMPIRES but u don wanna b like out there and vamps will kno who u r but u wanna be lowkey like yo r ther vamps ? heh b weary u feelIn all seriousness, I feel like being a vampire hunter is super fun bc you're all undercover and you're like heh i know somethin' yall don't know and yeah
1. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHAT (again idk if they changed it from the last time I played) AND HOW PEOPLE TALK IN THE TOWN CHAT. Unless you gotta ghost town, then you can't really rely on the chats.
2. Pay attention to random lynches, who votes guilty and innocent for what, etc
3. Names in the chat. Pros will know not to say their own names and might say somebody innocent's name. So yeah. Just be weary of that. But if they do say a name, keep your eye on that name. They might be doin' the vise versa thing on you and that's trippy.
Tips and tricks for: Spy
I like spy. You're super op and your will is your best friend in the entire game. Your will is where you should keep all your sh*t.
1. Like for vamp hunter, pay attention to the chats and stuff. If you gotta ghost town, then your role is pointless and gay and bleh.
2. Write everything down in your will and be prepared to defend yourself against people who think you're blackmailer. Also be weary of who else claims to be spy but might be blackmailer.
3. Also, be weary of forgers
Tips and tricks for: Blackmailer
One of the most dirtiest mafia members. You can keep somebody from talking, lynch people at random without being called out, and you can pose as a spy. Trickiest and most malevolent, yet one of the most loyal and cunning of the mafia members.
1. Don't announce yourself as a spy unless necessary. Especially if the previous mafiosos die, there's no gf/godfather, and you're left alone being asked what your role is. Unless you're put up to be lynched, don't claim spy. To anyone.
2. Write everything you hear down in your will. Write assumptions and write down what the consigliere says (if there is a consig)
3. Keep the mayor quiet for as long as you can, and if somebody says they're blackmailed up on the lynching post, say it's copy and paste. Good run.
4. Idk what else to say. I just love blackmailers.
Tips and tricks for: Godfather
I love being Godfather because I usually call the shots, and I play papa-bear when in control. I don't really tell people what to do, but I recommend what's good for them and advice them to stay away from so-and-so or stay in during full moons. That's what being a godfather really is. You call the shots, but you make sure your members aren't off doing some random ass fishy sh*t behind your back.I don't really have tips and tricks, I just wanted to share that heehehehehehehee
Tips and tricks for: Medium
One of the most diverse townies; the medium can speak with the dead. Although most might say the medium isn't worth anything or it's a 'boring' role, it's actually one of the most important. If you know how you died, you can tell the medium you know. "I died from so-and-so" or "I visited so-and-so and died" or even you can say "i was forged, my will said duh duh duh". The medium can become a game changer.
1. When you are given important information, don't automatically blurt out the next day "DEODAT LAWSON SAID EDWARD CULLEN IS THE KILLER YO HE VISITEd HIM AND BAM DEAD BY THE SERIAL KILLER" because then you can't continue being an important messenger and you might die from the mafia or the arsonist or the serial killer or the werewolf !! You'll be giving yourself up !!
2. What I suggest, is write everything in your will. Because even if the forger or the janitor gets to you, you have what's called a "seance". You get your "seance" option when you are killed and it allows you to contact somebody from the living. Somebody who you can trust. A confirmed townie. And you can tell them what you know, what your will said, etc.
3. THERE'S THIS ANNOYIN' SUPERSTITION CALLED "MEDIUM'S CURSE" AND IT'S USUALLY WHEN THE MEDIUM DIES NIGHT 1 AND YOU DON'T GET TO USE YOUR ABILITY AT ALL SMH. I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO AVOID THIS, BUT DEF USE YOUR SEANCE ONCE YOU GET SOME JUICY JUICE THINGS SAID IN THE DEAD. Wait until the dead mafia slips up and then seance the mayor or somethin' and just be like 'lol NekoKitty99 is consigliere heehe'.
Tips and tricks for: Sheriff
Spits on ur cowboy boots and tips cowboy hat. There will be no Mahfia killin' in these here parts... THE SHERIFF. One of the most iconic roles in Town of Salem. You're able to stalk a person for one night while their doing whatever and you can sniff out whether they're mafia or not. PREEEETTY NICE.
1. DON'T GO OUT ON FULL MOONS. (UNLESS THE WEREWOLF IS DEEMED DEAD YADAYADA)
2. If you get one lead, don't blurt it out to the town the next day. A. It could be wrong and B. you just exposed yourself to every killing role in that game or C. you will come off as the exe. Unless, of course, you have a stupid town and they are all like 'ok lol' and hang that person up without listening any further.. Just wait it out and stalk them again, just to make sure. Write it in your will, too. Be weary of forgers.
3. I don't really know what else to say for sheriff. If you guys have anything to say about it, drop a comment yo. It's a nice role, but it's not really my cup of tea, you feel ?
HOW TO WHISPER 101:
So WHISPERING is a coolio little thing you can do in the game. It's a secret hushhush act that you usually do in order to A. throw spies and/or blackmailers off guard B. discuss scandalous acts with ur fellow maf/townie and/or C. say hey u know just in case u get lonely.
STEP ONE: ON YOUR KEYBOARD you will see a "/" or better known as a S L A SH What you wanna do is SMASH THAT FUCKING KEY so now you just have /
STEP TWO: YOU WILL A BIG FAT "W" ON THE LEFT-uP SIDE THING OF YOUR KEYBOARD. A DOUBLE-U. OR a double-v. It looks like a double-v. Anyways. T ap it. Tap that w. NOW YOU WILL HAVE /w
STEP THREE: THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE USUALLY MESS THE FUCK UP. After you have /w, you gotta know who youre tryina dm u feel. slide in there like butter. IF YOU WANNA CHAT WITH 3. DEODATASS LAWSON then you can do ONE of TWO Things. Either A. "/w 3 whats good deo" OR B. "/w Deodatass Lawson whats hippity hoppity happinin yo"
SAME WITH LIKE. IF YOU WANNA CHAT WITH 6. whisper YOU CAN JUST "/w 6 hey ily no homo" or "/w whisper IM WHISPERIN" u know
Oh but you can't whisper to the mayor, which is gay.
he's like. a sitting duck. with like 3 extra votes.
HOW TO HANG 101
WHEN YOU UP ON THE THING AND UR ABOUT TO GET MF H AN G E D YOURE PROBABLY EITHER LIKE shit they got me "FUCK YOU ALL" or wtf im like escort ?? "FUCK YOU ALL". yeah what you wanna do is not that
STEP ONE: be freakin' nice bc bing a jackass just makes people wanna hang you more
i get ur upset but blease we are only human going off of one night dang that sounds worse than i wanted anyways
STEP TWO ??: idk if these are really steps but whatever okay so try being nice like "im not so-and-so here is my will" if they don't believe u then just laugh at them in the dead chat. ik u dont wanna get hangedeth but ??? once the town has voted you up there, most are pretty stupid and just wanna vote guilty to vote guilty. or its maf like 'its not maf so' or arso like 'haha sucker' or whatever
STEP THREE: there is no step three but hi uwu
Hope these how-tos helped you out a bit
If I didn't mention a role it's because I either forgot about it or their role is self-explanatory and doesn't really need any explanation (like consig or transporter or n stuff)
Anyways, I hoped this helped some of you guys out.
Feel free to comment any other tips and tricks you learned
Or if you wanna play with me my name thing is Ratvomit
Tips and tricks for if you're: Mafia
The mobsters of olden... Olds. Old times. Ancient Town of Salem... Times. The. MAFIA. Yes. They're evil, conniving, treacherous, sometimes dumb, but above all. They're one of the most OP killing roles. Consisting of 2-5 players and having roles that can. Deceive and. And like kill. Yes. They're bad.
1. This should be a no-brainer, but never ever say each other's names in the chat. Spies can read the chat and can see what you all say. Use somebody else's name. Somebody who's not a part of the Mafia, and hope they're not survivor or witch heehe. Also, don't use noticeable slang. And if you do, don't use the same slang during town meetings. Spies can see "Oh ! That person and this person talk the exact same" or "This person and that person said the same thing". (Spies shouldn't lynch somebody based just off this but like u know. Some are dumb like that, and the gullible town members will be like 'oh okay') (ALSO I JUST READ THE UPDATE AND NOW IT TELLS THE MAFIA IF THERES A SPY OR NOT SO ?? IGNORE THIS TIP IG)
2. Never go out on a full moon unless the werewolf is confirmed dead, or there's no werewolf in the game. Werewolves kill everything in their paths. It's better to wait it out than to risk getting killed. Especially if there's less than four maf in the game.
3. Don't random lynch. In a game full of experienced players, they'll call you out. The only lucky time this works is if your maf friends or random village-idiots lynch the person you're going for. Everybody else will join in due to idk peer-pressure or whatever. Just the way it goes ig.
4. DON'T TAKE VET BAITS. I've been in many games where the Godfather or the Mafioso have taken the vet baits on day one. The people who say "I hate being doctor" or "Investigator is so boring" day one are usually veterans trying to lure in the Mafia. Or just really dumb people. Or really smart people making the mafia THINK that they're vet. Hoohoo.
5. If the consigliere finds out somebody is doctor, kill them last if there's any other bigger threat (IE: Investigator, Mayor, Bodyguard, etc) The doctor can't kill. He can only heal, and he doesn't know who he's healing at that.
6. If the consig finds out somebody is a killing role that's against the Maf, try claiming to be sheriff or lookout. By being sheriff, you can tell the people that said person is maf. Even if they aren't maf, the town will see that they were evil. Lookout, in my opinion, is better. You can say "so and so visited this person before they died" and gain the town's trust by lynching, say, the arsonist, a vampire, the werewolf or the serial killer. However, if you do lynch a vampire and his/her vamp buddies find out, they'll probably try to bite you and you will die.
7. Kill the jailor as soon as you find out who it is. They're crucial to your role. Or the investigator. The jailor can lock you up and you're forced to spill a town role, but if you can't back it up, you're dead. The invest can see a list of what you could be. If you aren't the other two/the town one, you're dead. However, you can make the town turn on the person trying to call you out and call them a possible "Exe"
8. Speaking of exe, the executioner's role is to try to get their target lynched. If somebody tries to get you lynched, call them an exe and resume in trying to kill people.
9. Always claim surv and have a back-up will. A lot of games won't let you copy and paste, but you can use the ctrl-v and ctrl-c to copy and paste surv details.Survivor wins with everybody and a Godfather can survive the longest with this claim. The surv has four bullet-proof vests and if somebody (like the sk claiming to be vig or arso claiming to be vig) claims that you're immune, say that you used a vest. I don't like it when one of my maf claims to the jailor or to the mayor that they're transporter or escort. Because then they'll have to claim it or something and it's a pain trying to cover for them.
10. Never pick a role to cover under if you can't prove it. Like, I get it when my blackmailers try to claim spy, but in the end when he's alone as a mafioso and they try to make him claim spy like it's just a messy situation. I'd like to just claim surv.
Tips and tricks for: Executioner
You're the stubborn guy who's hell-bent on killin' that one dude who stole your mashed potatoes during thanksgiving and you're very petty so you're like. Okay. HOW ABOUT I MANIPULATE THE TOWN IN GETTING THIS F*CKER LYNCHED and you know what, it can be pretty refreshing after you kill them. Plus, you're immune the rest of the game and you get to pick sides and stuff afterward.
1. Claim sheriff and say your target is maf. If the town is dumb enough, they'll actually hang 'em.
Tips and tricks for: Jester
JESTER is either really fun or really boring, depending on how you play it out. You're the annoying suicidal myspace dude just tryina get yourself lynched. Tis not a phaseth, mother.
1. Stay quiet, even when asked for a role. If they put you up claim spy and when they do the spy test, stay quiet. Beg for mercy like a maf member would
2. Try not to get yourself killed at night. Don't make yourself so annoying that the maf or any other killing role has to murder you at night. Do it just to get lynched and hopefully, nobody calls out your role.
Tips and tricks for: Mayor
I don't like that they took away the whisper option, but then again, the town was always op as hell with that option, so I guess it's good now. Plus, there are other things you can do as mayor. For example,
1. ALWAYS CALL YOURSELF OUT DAY TWO. Doctors, jailors, and bodyguards (I think ?? I haven't read the updates yet) will be all over your ass that following night. Only call yourself out when there's a known protecting role. The first day don't call yourself out because there isn't enough time for one of them to act. There's only like, what, 10 seconds for discussion, and that's usually the time jesters and vets speak.
2. Always make a bond with the jailor. They will be your best friend if there's nobody else who you can conspire with. If there is a jailor, and if the jailor isn't a complete moron.
3. Bad mayors make players say their roles out loud. That's how you get yourself hated on and people will stop trusting you, ergo you won't be immune at night.
4. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Wait it out for a bit. Tell lookouts to look after so-and-so and have invests look after so-and-so.
Tips and tricks for: Investigator
You're the guy everybody either hates or loves. You can be either really useful or really detrimental. Having everybody's roles on your will, and having the whole town see them when your dead can be pretty annoying. If you die and have a role by a person's name, that can be very dangerous. Now the maf knows that person is either this town role or this town role or this neutral role or this town role. Especially if all the options are either maf or town. Then they know you must be this town person thing. But, if you're lucky it'll weed out all the maf and werewolves and serial killers n' stuff.
1. Never ever jump to conclusions. I see that too much. "IT SAYS DOCTOR, OR SERIAL KILLER IG THEY'RE SERIAL KILLER SMH" like just wait. Hold on a diddily darn second. That's what whispers are for. Ask 'em what they're role is. If they're sk they'll say doc, if they're doc they will probably withhold information bc they don't trust you. Some experienced players memorized (BUT NOTE: Some experienced players memorized the invests will, and so experienced sks will know what to say when they're called out and have invests put on them. However, in AllAny it's harder to know who's lying and who's not because I once had four doctors in one game. It was wild. The fourth doctor was begging for mercy and claiming he was doctor with all his heart; it was hilarious.)
2. Don't go out on full moons. Ever. Unless the werewolf is confirmed dead or not present at all.
3. Always write down assumptions in your will for people to read when you die. It might be very useful later on. You could help town win !!
Tips and tricks for: Witch
The magical hag of the town. It's either a useful role or a useless role. I haven't played witch in a long time, so I don't really know what's changed, but I guess I'll just give you guys some tips that you may already know.
1. If you find a killing role, don't go off killing people willy-nilly. You win with maf and you need them later on. So try to only attack those who are confirmed town.
2. If you find a doctor and you have no use for any other person, just continue to heal yourself and wait it out for maf
3. I don't have any real advice to get Maf to notice you as a witch. Just hope there's a consig :\ or you can whisper to a confirmed maf, but I wouldn't advise it early on because there might be spies.
Tips and tricks for: Serial Killer
This one is the most lonely and hard to use, for me. You have a sh*t ton of advantages with sk, but it's hard to cover yourself. You can't really disguise yourself as surv, because invests would be on your ass, and sometimes you're forced to take cover as doctor.
1. What I usually do, is I make a pact with the executioner. I tell them I will help them lynch their target if they keep up the ruse that I am healing them.
2. This can work only if the spy is dead or there isn't a spy present. If a spy claims you're whispering something else, kill them. Tell people that you and the exe are protecting yourself. The exe can claim bg and that they are protecting you claim you heal them. It's a win-win situation. Especially since exes and serial killers are immune at night.
Tips and tricks for: Escorts and Consorts
Being an escort or a consort can be excruciatingly boring, and these people are the people who usually leave by the second day because they HATE their role. Right ? Tell me you like being an escort or a consort with a straight face.
1. What I do if I'm an escort is I usually just rb the quiet people. The suspicious quiet ones. I hope they're not vet, too.
2. When I'm consortI usually wait out the entire game until I become a killing role. Or I rb confirmed vigs.
Tips and tricks for: Survivors
Dawh. All you wanna do is stay at home, silently and survive ! Well, that's not gonna be easy. You can't be too quiet and seem suspicious, but you can't be too noisy to get yourself killed. You've got to play surv really well in order to live through the whole game.
1. The first thing is to pick a side. You're either town pretending to be on mafs side, or you're maf pretending to be on towns side. I usually pick maf unless they're low on people and they don't have a consig. In order to gain the trust of the maf, claim it at the very start of the game and lay low. Don't vote, don't lynch. Lay low. Unless you're jailed.
2. A lot of pros know that maf claims surv a lot, so you really gotta gain the trust of townies. Exchange your theories with those who ask and if people start kind of getting stumped, don't let it turn on you. Say you're opinions, but don't call people out.
3. Never vest on the first night unless you call yourself out then. Mafia members are tricky. They're either stubborn and imbecilic, or they're loyal and intelligent. They usually won't risk wasting a kill on a surv claim, if they're smart, so don't be afraid to call yourself out. But always use your vest that night, just in case everybody in the maf are idiots. You shouldn't have to use yourself the next two nights because you win with everybody. But idk man. Survs can be tricky. It's all how the enemies see you.
Tips and tricks for: Jailors
I have the most luck with jailors. Whenever I'm a jailor I make really good accusations. I think of myself in a killing position, trying to come up with a role. I also took four psych classes in college, so I know what people are thinking and how they react in certain situations. It's the time management, how they act under pressure, and what they say.
1. "Hello" is something usually guilty people say. Trying to sweet talk/butter up/manipulate the jailor with small talk is usually how they'll go about pleading innocent. Don't automatically kill them just based off of this, though.
2. If you see them type like a maniac in the town chat, and they go pretty slow in the jail chat trying to figure out what to come back with for "role", deem them suspicious, and talk about it with the mayor in your next chat. Or jot it all down in your will. But be weary of forgers. I hate forgers when I'm invest or jailor.
3. Never answer to "who was jailed ?" when nobody was killed. Some maf members don't kill on purpose to lure out the jailor since jailors are highly dangerous to the killing roles. Be weary of who says that.
Tips and tricks for: Arsonist
Pyromaniac freak ! You are. I hate hate hateD this role, just because of the need to clean off your hands after every douse, BUTBUTBUTBUTBUTBUT it's hella fun now. I read the update, and I think it's cool not knowing there's an arso amongst you all. Unless maf has a consig. Even then, it's hard for them to randomly yell out "SO AND SO IS AN ARSO" without sounding like exe or consig.
1. Claim surv. Always. Or if you gotta, claim BG.
2. Always have a BG will and make a deal with exe (like in the Serial Killer tips and tricks)
3. Kill a little at a time. Don't waste the whole game dousing people and not cleaning your hands off. You never know when you're going to get lynched. I'd do one or two at a time, unless one of them or all of them get/gets killed.
Tips and tricks for: Werewolf
One of the most fun yet boring killing roles. You kill everything and everyone in your way. Nothing can stop you from getting to your target... Except the lack of a full moon and/or a veteran. I usually have good instincts on who's vet and who's not, but
1. JUST TO BE SAFE, go to the houses you KNOW aren't vet. Try not to fall for vet bait.
2. Make friends with as many enemies possible.
3. Always claim to either wear a vest, be jailed, or be transported when claimed immune/when claimed to be where somebody was killed(via lookout)
4. idk what else just. don't die, don't random lynch, everything else for the other killing roles lmao
Tips and tricks for: Transporter and Janitor
Two other roles people find boring. You can't really make it fun, unless you really really try.
1. I wouldn't transport anybody with anybody until you get some decent leads. Just to be safe.
2. Neither of ya'll should go out on a full moon
3. DO NOT DO NOT CLEAN PEOPLE ON THE FIRST OR SECOND NIGHT. WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE IN THEIR WILLS THAT'S SO VITAL TO THE MAFIA WINNING. NOTHING. SO DON'T DO IT. I've had many janitors and forgers go off on people on the first two nights like. Like no, listen. Wait until like the third night AT LEAST or until we KNOW who's jailor/invest okay
Tips and tricks for: Vampires >:F
THE S-CLASS FILLAINS. THE THAKERTH OF THHE NIGHT. THE BLOOD THUCKIN' NIGHTMARETH.The FAMpires. I think that the vampires are hella freakin' fun to play as. Especially if you're momma/dad vamp. The vampire families tend to be more loyal and fun than the mafia members. The maf are expected to do this and that and have all specific roles and get angry when things don't go right. VAMPS, on the other hand, are randomly selected and you become loyal once you're a vamp. Plus you can deceive others. Like. "WELL I GOT THIS MAF OUT AND I WAS PROVED TOWN BY SO-AND-SO" and it's so fun.
1. IF YOU'RE OG VAMP go after the proven town people. Like. Not so popularly proven that you'll get killed by a BG or a WW or an SK, but you know. Those people in the back like 'hey im invest lol'. The lowkey goodies that are like "OH YAY WE KILLED MAF".
2. If you're a young-un, try communicating with the eldest and be like 'hey yo this dudes onto me' or 'we should kill' bc they should be understanding and like 'ok lol im not dying u r'. Plus, the chats can be super fun if you make 'em out to be. UNLESS THERE'S A-----
Tips and tricks for: Vampire Hunter
Once u see Vampire in ur name in green u know its gon b a lit af game.You're like well shit THERE IS VAMPIRES but u don wanna b like out there and vamps will kno who u r but u wanna be lowkey like yo r ther vamps ? heh b weary u feelIn all seriousness, I feel like being a vampire hunter is super fun bc you're all undercover and you're like heh i know somethin' yall don't know and yeah
1. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHAT (again idk if they changed it from the last time I played) AND HOW PEOPLE TALK IN THE TOWN CHAT. Unless you gotta ghost town, then you can't really rely on the chats.
2. Pay attention to random lynches, who votes guilty and innocent for what, etc
3. Names in the chat. Pros will know not to say their own names and might say somebody innocent's name. So yeah. Just be weary of that. But if they do say a name, keep your eye on that name. They might be doin' the vise versa thing on you and that's trippy.
Tips and tricks for: Spy
I like spy. You're super op and your will is your best friend in the entire game. Your will is where you should keep all your sh*t.
1. Like for vamp hunter, pay attention to the chats and stuff. If you gotta ghost town, then your role is pointless and gay and bleh.
2. Write everything down in your will and be prepared to defend yourself against people who think you're blackmailer. Also be weary of who else claims to be spy but might be blackmailer.
3. Also, be weary of forgers
Tips and tricks for: Blackmailer
One of the most dirtiest mafia members. You can keep somebody from talking, lynch people at random without being called out, and you can pose as a spy. Trickiest and most malevolent, yet one of the most loyal and cunning of the mafia members.
1. Don't announce yourself as a spy unless necessary. Especially if the previous mafiosos die, there's no gf/godfather, and you're left alone being asked what your role is. Unless you're put up to be lynched, don't claim spy. To anyone.
2. Write everything you hear down in your will. Write assumptions and write down what the consigliere says (if there is a consig)
3. Keep the mayor quiet for as long as you can, and if somebody says they're blackmailed up on the lynching post, say it's copy and paste. Good run.
4. Idk what else to say. I just love blackmailers.
Tips and tricks for: Godfather
I love being Godfather because I usually call the shots, and I play papa-bear when in control. I don't really tell people what to do, but I recommend what's good for them and advice them to stay away from so-and-so or stay in during full moons. That's what being a godfather really is. You call the shots, but you make sure your members aren't off doing some random ass fishy sh*t behind your back.I don't really have tips and tricks, I just wanted to share that heehehehehehehee
Tips and tricks for: Medium
One of the most diverse townies; the medium can speak with the dead. Although most might say the medium isn't worth anything or it's a 'boring' role, it's actually one of the most important. If you know how you died, you can tell the medium you know. "I died from so-and-so" or "I visited so-and-so and died" or even you can say "i was forged, my will said duh duh duh". The medium can become a game changer.
1. When you are given important information, don't automatically blurt out the next day "DEODAT LAWSON SAID EDWARD CULLEN IS THE KILLER YO HE VISITEd HIM AND BAM DEAD BY THE SERIAL KILLER" because then you can't continue being an important messenger and you might die from the mafia or the arsonist or the serial killer or the werewolf !! You'll be giving yourself up !!
2. What I suggest, is write everything in your will. Because even if the forger or the janitor gets to you, you have what's called a "seance". You get your "seance" option when you are killed and it allows you to contact somebody from the living. Somebody who you can trust. A confirmed townie. And you can tell them what you know, what your will said, etc.
3. THERE'S THIS ANNOYIN' SUPERSTITION CALLED "MEDIUM'S CURSE" AND IT'S USUALLY WHEN THE MEDIUM DIES NIGHT 1 AND YOU DON'T GET TO USE YOUR ABILITY AT ALL SMH. I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO AVOID THIS, BUT DEF USE YOUR SEANCE ONCE YOU GET SOME JUICY JUICE THINGS SAID IN THE DEAD. Wait until the dead mafia slips up and then seance the mayor or somethin' and just be like 'lol NekoKitty99 is consigliere heehe'.
Tips and tricks for: Sheriff
Spits on ur cowboy boots and tips cowboy hat. There will be no Mahfia killin' in these here parts... THE SHERIFF. One of the most iconic roles in Town of Salem. You're able to stalk a person for one night while their doing whatever and you can sniff out whether they're mafia or not. PREEEETTY NICE.
1. DON'T GO OUT ON FULL MOONS. (UNLESS THE WEREWOLF IS DEEMED DEAD YADAYADA)
2. If you get one lead, don't blurt it out to the town the next day. A. It could be wrong and B. you just exposed yourself to every killing role in that game or C. you will come off as the exe. Unless, of course, you have a stupid town and they are all like 'ok lol' and hang that person up without listening any further.. Just wait it out and stalk them again, just to make sure. Write it in your will, too. Be weary of forgers.
3. I don't really know what else to say for sheriff. If you guys have anything to say about it, drop a comment yo. It's a nice role, but it's not really my cup of tea, you feel ?
HOW TO WHISPER 101:
So WHISPERING is a coolio little thing you can do in the game. It's a secret hushhush act that you usually do in order to A. throw spies and/or blackmailers off guard B. discuss scandalous acts with ur fellow maf/townie and/or C. say hey u know just in case u get lonely.
STEP ONE: ON YOUR KEYBOARD you will see a "/" or better known as a S L A SH What you wanna do is SMASH THAT FUCKING KEY so now you just have /
STEP TWO: YOU WILL A BIG FAT "W" ON THE LEFT-uP SIDE THING OF YOUR KEYBOARD. A DOUBLE-U. OR a double-v. It looks like a double-v. Anyways. T ap it. Tap that w. NOW YOU WILL HAVE /w
STEP THREE: THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE USUALLY MESS THE FUCK UP. After you have /w, you gotta know who youre tryina dm u feel. slide in there like butter. IF YOU WANNA CHAT WITH 3. DEODATASS LAWSON then you can do ONE of TWO Things. Either A. "/w 3 whats good deo" OR B. "/w Deodatass Lawson whats hippity hoppity happinin yo"
SAME WITH LIKE. IF YOU WANNA CHAT WITH 6. whisper YOU CAN JUST "/w 6 hey ily no homo" or "/w whisper IM WHISPERIN" u know
Oh but you can't whisper to the mayor, which is gay.
he's like. a sitting duck. with like 3 extra votes.
HOW TO HANG 101
WHEN YOU UP ON THE THING AND UR ABOUT TO GET MF H AN G E D YOURE PROBABLY EITHER LIKE shit they got me "FUCK YOU ALL" or wtf im like escort ?? "FUCK YOU ALL". yeah what you wanna do is not that
STEP ONE: be freakin' nice bc bing a jackass just makes people wanna hang you more
i get ur upset but blease we are only human going off of one night dang that sounds worse than i wanted anywaysSTEP TWO ??: idk if these are really steps but whatever okay so try being nice like "im not so-and-so here is my will" if they don't believe u then just laugh at them in the dead chat. ik u dont wanna get hangedeth but ??? once the town has voted you up there, most are pretty stupid and just wanna vote guilty to vote guilty. or its maf like 'its not maf so' or arso like 'haha sucker' or whatever
STEP THREE: there is no step three but hi uwu
Hope these how-tos helped you out a bit
If I didn't mention a role it's because I either forgot about it or their role is self-explanatory and doesn't really need any explanation (like consig or transporter or n stuff)
Anyways, I hoped this helped some of you guys out.
