How to Not Mess Up as Town

From MafiaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

It seems towns have been falling hard recently. Here's some tips to fix this trend.

1) It's not unheard of for scum to be able to both act and kill in the same night. Scum Roleblockers actually have this power given to them in newbie games if they're the last scum.

2) Share your thoughts on how the game is going. If you have a widely contested read, do not hold it back as you are just hurting town. Trying to go with the crowd is a common scumtell, so presenting a widely contested read will probably give you townpoints.

3) DO NOT point out softing willy-nilly. After making the original version of this tip, I noted a lot of casual references of PR softs and crumbs.

4) Barring cop-clears (maybe not even then if the game is not Normal), ANYONE can be scum.

4a) Speaking of cop clears, cop clears are not a two way street. DO NOT assume a cop claim is real because they have you as town.

5) No lynching IS an option. Do it 1) if you are in MYLO and do not believe you can catch the scum that day or 2) when you believe a deadline lynch is on town and the flip is not telling of others alignments. Information is not always worth the life of an innocent.

6) I don't know what to advise here, but STOP TRIPPING AT THE FINISH LINE. A lot of town failures I've seen have been because they could not will the final scum lynch.
