Spy

Silent as the nights go, a master of stealth, the spy creeps behind walls and hides in the shadows to lurk on his unsuspecting victims. The spy listens in carefully, with audio recorders all around; the spy's keen ears and paranoia keep him from being caught by the Mafia, but if the Mafia have learned one thing, it's that there's always someone listening.

Strategy
- Make sure to keep track of who the Mafia visits at night, in most cases the visited target will not be a member of the Mafia. But in case of a Witch or a Transporter the visited target can be Mafia. You can use this information to narrow down who could be Mafia.

- Sometimes you get lucky with a Consigliere who every night in chat says who they investigated and what role they are but Mafia often suspect a spy and it's not uncommon for Mafia to tell lies in their chat to confuse and mislead the spy.

- If you see that the Mafia only visited one target during the night and that target is still alive during the day while Mafia still killed someone you will know that the person they visited is a Disguiser. So basically if someone who Mafia did not visit died you can know for sure that there is a Disguiser but in the case that they visit two targets it can be hard to know for sure which one of the targets is the Disguiser.

- When the Mafia has a Blackmailer you should try to figure out why the Mafia is trying to keep the blackmailed person quiet. Maybe they blamed the Mafia, and you don't have to reveal yourself as spy to point out that someone is blackmailed since you can just say that the person is being quiet and ask them to for example to vote for you if they are blackmailed. Then tell everyone what they said before they were blackmailed.

- If you are getting suspected proving yourself a spy is the easiest thing in the world since you can see what people whisper. Just ask anyone to whisper someone and say you will tell everyone what they say.

- If you are unable to gather a lot of information but still have some information to contribute with a good time to reveal yourself as a spy is when you know there are a lot of targets. A lot of other classes are higher priority to kill then the spy. Otherwise you should reveal yourself when you have some good information to contribute with, for example if you know who one of the Mafia is.

-If you're positive that the mafia are the only faction left with no neutral killing, and there is no transporter or witch in the game, anyone who the mafia visits is Town, Neutral evil, or Neutral benign. Mafia cannot target themselves unless it was done by transporter or witch, therefore anyone the mafia visits must be non-mafia.

-Dead spies can still hear whispers and mafia dialogues at night. They can work with mediums to relay the info to the town.

-People have a way of typing that is may unique from anyone else. Based off how the mafia type, you can suspect people in the mafia.

-You are mostly Anti-Mafia except that you can hear whispers.
