Town

The Townies are the "good" side of Town of Salem. Their aim is to kill all "criminals and evil-doers", which are rival factions that harm the. These include: The, The , , and roles (the  needs to be lynched if a  with bullets left is still alive). To that end, each innocent townsfolk contributes with varied abilities according to their roles, which are categorized into the, , , and alignments.

Compared to the other factions, the 's primary method of elimination is by lynching the evil-doers in trial, due to their relative size in membership, as well as the abundance of intelligence gathering roles. Using the correct information and using the ' majority, the evil-doers will be lynched after voting.

This doesn't mean the lack the ability to directly kill their enemies, nor does it mean they are sitting ducks waiting to be killed should the lynching not go as smoothly as planned. The and  roles are there precisely for this reason. But these roles can't reliably win the game for their fellow, active and accurate lynchings are still very much desired and needed to win games.

It is thus crucial for the to accurately parse the truths from the lies, which their enemies will no doubt spread. It is also important for them to act and not be passive at trials before they lose their majority to the evil-doers; as innocent townsfolk die every night, their doom draws ever nearer.

Strategies

 * Try to protect the most useful players (eg,, , ) once you know who is a town. This is helpful as a Late Game Strategy.
 * If you are a and you know a proven  (or vice-versa) you may try to team up with them so you can heal them and they can guard you (or vice-versa). This will make an almost invincible team.
 * This will not work with a with 4 or more kills, as they ignore effects that would protect a player.
 * Always have evidence if you want someone lynched, otherwise, you will sound like an.
 * If possible, team up with a or : You can secretly find a  member or  role, then tell your ally to kill them without needing to reveal yourself to the.
 * If you have any information at all, DO NOT leave the game once you are dead. There could be a or . If you are dead, and a  is alive, then they could talk to you at night and you could share your info with them. They could either write the info down in their Last Will or tell the  about it the next day if they survive. (Just in case they die, you should put it in your Last Will first.) Also, even if the  is dead, you could still provide them with info. If the  still hasn't used their 1 seance, then they could share the info that they have received from you with a trustworthy player via the seance. If there is no  at all, you should still be sure to ALWAYS share the info that you have with the dead players in the chat. The reason for this is that the  might not revive you, but instead revive another person that has a more important role, for example the . This way, that other person who got revived will be able to share the info that he obtained from you. This works in cases where there is no  in the game.
 * If you think someone is, don't vote innocent unless there is proof that they are not.
 * Try to stay on topic, unless there is no evidence or everyone else is roleplaying. Town of Salem is not a chatroom, despite roleplaying being super fun. Also, by staying on topic, you may catch mistakes that evil people may say in chat that other people may not notice.
 * If there is a, tell them information in chat. This will allow them to lead the town to possibly lynch an evil role.
 * Don't reveal your role unless you are asked by someone you can trust, such as the (when jailed), the revealed, or a revived Townie.
 * Voting for Roles is generally not a good idea.
 * The and  are the main enemies of the . Try focusing on eliminating them first unless a  and/or  gets in the way.

Trivia
