Consort can be entertaining, but the two games I remember best with this role both had the mafia winning through reasons other than anything the mafia did. The first one was annoying, the second one was hilarious. For reference, I always play in All Any.

Game 1: The Gamethrowing Incident

There was a group of 4 that were friends and had joined together and had a naming scheme (Space Dad, Space Mom, space child, and space space). Space Dad was godfather. This became confirmed D3, but Space Mom and space child gamethrew (space space atually played properly and tried to lynch him even if they were yelling "How could you betray us, Dad?" as they did so). As a result, town never managed to lynch him, so keeping them alive was beneficial to the mafia. Besides, Space Dad refused to kill them (clearly he would have gamethrown in the reverse scenario). However, Space Mom was an Investigator and would have been willing to lynch the other mafia. Space Dad refused to let the blackmailer shut her up, but didn't yell at me for rbing her every night until the 5th night in a row (in the meantime we have killed the other Town Investigative and town still fails to lynch Space Dad due to gamethrowing). I refused to stop, and Space Mom left the game at that point, now leaving us with a mafia majority and the ability to stop bothering to hide the rest of the mafia's identities. Everyone on all sides that was not part of the group (+ space space who understood that gamethrowing is wrong) reported the gamethrowers.

Game 2: That Time a Really Stupid Town and a Name Gave Mafia the Win

My character name is Maria, which players regularly comment on for being too similar to Mafia (including the 2 or 3 times that I was killed N1 by the mafia and the Death Note straight up said that was why) even though it is literally just my default online name. N1 I chose a target with an interesting name to role block (not usually a smart plan, worked out in this case). It turns out 2 lookouts had chosen the same target as me. One of the lookouts clearly has never had this role before. Immediately once the day starts they accuse the other lookout saying that they had visited this person and a mafia had visited the person. Because this person is role-blocked, they assume the other player was a Consort. The other lookout counterclaims while I (despite benefitting from the stupidity I want to win because of strategy, not ignorant town) and one not stupid town explained that lookout does not see who the mafia visits, that is spy. Somehow, they still vote up the lookout who didn't make the stupid mistake and lynch him despite me and that one not stupid town voting inno (at this point I thought enough of town was not morons that voting inno would be less sus). He is lookout. The next day a third lookout comes into play and accuses the first lookout for getting the other one killed. An argument ensues and somehow the third lookout gets lynched, idk what even happened but I voted inno again out of pity. The next day town is really angry at the stupid lookout who started this and suspect them. They get lynched, with that being the only lookout I actually voted guilty on. The next day comes around and suddenly town realizes that while all the lookouts were getting lynched the mafia were still killing and suddenly there are only 3 non-mafia (ww + 2 town I think) vs 4 mafia.

During the last day, as we waited to vote to lynch the final town, the mafioso and I discuss how we still have no idea what the lookout was talking about that led to this. The answer we got when the end game screen popped up: "I looked back at the messages.  I MISREAD MARIA AS MAFIA"  I still don't know what to think about that, other than that most of town was morons for actually lynching that first lookout.
