Last Will

The Last Will is a piece of paper that is shown to the rest of the town after you die. Players can edit what is shown in a will using the button at the top of the screen, looking like an empty piece of paper. A player's last will often includes critical information, although it is a focal point for the use of deception in the game. Town members will often include descriptions of what they were doing in each of the nights.

The use of wills
Last wills can be crucial to the Townie roles as they can provide a summary of information gained before death, often stylised in a simple way.

For example, a Lookout's will might include:

Lookout:

N1: Watched John - Sandy and Mary visited them.

N2: Watched Mary - Ian visited them (Mary died? Ian suspicious?)

In this example, the nights are shown as N1 and N2 for each of the nights. Many players like to show their wills in this fashion but there are a number of advantages and disadvantages for the Townies when used this way. Other roles, such as the Mafia, won't use wills in such a way. A Neutral role, such as the Jester, will sometimes use the will as a means of teasing the other players for having hanged them. Players should show caution in when they use wills, as they are capable of turning the game in many different ways, for any side.

Advantages of using Last Wills

 * (For Townies) As long as they are comprehensive and easy to understand, they can contain information that may lead to a successful lynching after the will is shown
 * (For Townies) If a will has suggestive evidence, this may incite the medium Townie to talk to whoever left the will to clarify information or to get suggestions which may lead to a successful lynching
 * (For Townies)To also help counter some of the Mafia roles it can be worth while adding your name in the will incase of a disguiser. E.g. Deodat Lawson the Investigator - N1:Ann Sears - Mafioso.
 * (For any Role) Last Wills can clear someones name if multiple cases of evidence show that they are innocent, and are often used as evidence when someone is to be hanged
 * (For Mafia) A mafia member can use a last will to try and say whoever is the Serial Killer, which may lead to them being hanged

Disadvantages of using Last Wills

 * (For Townies) Wills can lead to many wrong lynches as well, especially when details about townies who have been framed or (wrongly) accused are included. Mafia members can use this to their advantage
 * (For any Role) Although wills can contain important information, the nature of deception in the game may lead to some wills being disregarded whereas the information included is actually correct
 * (For Townies) Some players may find unentered information suspicious. If a player is killed before they can complete the will for that night, then the next day it may come up partly completed and may lead to a wrong lynching (or possibly a correct one). The Investigator for instance may have found them not suspicious but they get lynched anyway
 * (For Townies) Some wills will contain information about who might be what role. This information is just as precious to the Mafia as it is to townies. The mafia might use the information to select their next target which could be a key role.
 * (For any Role) A Janitor can clean the body of the victim and the will will not show up.
 * (For Townies) Last Wills may reveal who the Veteran is if they visited a veteran on alert the night they died and wrote the name in their will.
 * (For Mafia, and other evil roles) There are some people who use the last will to rat out their fellow mafia, which can be very annoying and even rule breaking. In most cases, if a fellow mafia rats you out, you are most likely dead, as trying to fight back to convince the town you are not a mafia will make yourself seem more suspicious.
