Common Player Behaviors

Different players use a variety of different behaviours throughout the day/night phases to help themselves get out of being lynched or killed. Some of these are listed below.

Whispering
Whispering could mean many things:


 * They are sharing their roles.
 * An Investigator might ask for their target's specific role, since their investigation leaves them with up to three possibilities (and some may be evil);
 * a Sheriff will know if their target is "Not Suspicious", which means a high chance of them being a Town member;
 * a Lookout or Spy might have seen a visit and will ask their target if they were roleblocked, jailed etc. to determine the visitors' roles;
 * if their target was attacked, the Doctor who healed them might reveal their role to them;
 * a Consigliere might pretend to be an Investigator or contact a Neutral role to gain their vote for the Mafia;
 * a Witch might have found a killer or Mafia member and will want to team up with them to stay alive.
 * Townies whispering their roles to a revealed Mayor.


 * They are Mafia, establishing their next target.
 * Sometimes, the Mafia can't wait to find out at night what the investigated target of the Consigliere was. They are doing this in plain view of the Town. This may lead to suspicion and is what some players call a "rookie move". The best way to figure out what they are saying is to whisper them back asking why the whispers. If they fail to answer this will increase the suspicion and therefore will get them lynched. They can also be called out by a Spy.


 * They are Neutral Benigns who are trying to choose a side.
 * Neutral Benigns, especially Amnesiacs, have a hard time choosing a side to play with. This is why they gain information by whispering because otherwise they will make each side to assault them with propositions (also by whispering). Keep that in mind before saying something like: "These whispers are suspicious".


 * They are exchanging information
 * If people are whispering around disscusion or guilty/innocent voting then they could be trying to withhold valuable info from the mafia or the town.
 * If only two people are doing the whispering and one of them are the mayor or another vote or information giving role then if you are on the same 'side' then you should ask them at night or by whispering back to them.


 * It might not mean anything at all.
 * Some players might be friends just chatting with each other. Others might recognize each others' names from a previous game. Don't assume too much.

Role-claiming
Anybody can go wrong when claiming a role, and it is very easy to do so.
 * They are a night immune role that has been found.
 * Many evil roles tend to claim Medium when they have been found by an investigative role because of the lack of night abilities. The only role that could get away with claiming Medium (without being one themself) is a Janitor, unless a Lookout saw them in action, or a Sheriff visited them.
 * Experienced players might say that they were a Survivor wearing a vest, or the Executioner if a Vigilante attempted to shoot them. Some may go on to say that they were jailed that night, but if the Jailor dies, or says that they didn't jail that player then that player is likely to be lynched.
 * Town mistakes and misconceptions
 * Because many evil roles claim Medium, the real Medium may be lynched if they were asked to reveal their role to the Town. The only way to prevent the real Medium getting lynched is by having an investigative role saying "No, that player is a Medium. I checked last night." or that they are "Not suspicious". Lookouts only see dead Mediums during a seance.
 * Survivors are another role that gets lynched regularly the moment they reveal because when investigated, they will show up as a loner, which means the player is a Survivor, Witch, or Werewolf. They will get lynched because the reward outweighs the risk (which is none). Survivor is also a common excuse for night immunity, and thus is a suspicious claim. There is no clear way to figure out if someone is Survivor except for a Consigliere. Werewolf is the safest role to claim Survivor because the investigator gets the same outcome for both of them. Lookouts will not be able to see the Werewolf as they will be attacked along with everybody else who visits a player. The only way the other players can find out is through a medium.
