Board Thread:What happens in Salem/@comment-25375217-20180316195901

I was in ranked and got Witch. I'm immediately terrified, since neutrals are notoriously hard to win with, but I do my best. Luckily, the consigliere stumbles upon me Night 1, so I am allied with and aware of the entirety of the mafia for basically the entire game. My Night 1 discovery is the bodyguard.

The sheriff finds the serial killer night 1 and we lynch them. This confirms the sheriff, of course. I randomly pick someone to control into the sheriff and am overjoyed when I discover that they were the vigilante. I was sort of hoping the bodyguard would be guarding the sheriff, taking both vigilante and bodyguard out, but they weren't, so the sheriff is shot.

That day, the vigilante leads the town in a vote for role. Through this, they out the jailor. The town tells the TP to stay on the jailor, and I whisper to the consigliere telling them I know who the TP is and will keep them away, so the mafia can attack. The vote for role gets one of the mafia members killed, but that night, they successfully kill the jailor.

Unfortunately, the bodyguard predicted our play and mentions that the consigliere and I whispered to each other, theorizing we must be mafia and witch. The mayor reveals and has the town kill the consigliere. I'm pretty much screwed, but claim invest anyway, admitting that it looks bad and that I don't blame them for lynching me if they do, hoping my honesty will save me.

That night, I randomly pick someone to control into the mayor, half-heartedly hoping to find a second vigilante. I do. The vigilante and bodyguard kill each other, leaving me, two mafs, the retributionist (who had revived the sheriff only for the sheriff to be re-killed earlier), and the mayor. Unfortunately, the mayor is quick-fingered enough to vote me up. I still try to save myself with honesty, but it doesn't work. I'm killed. The mafia apologizes to me before proceeding to kill the mayor, then lynch the retributionist, winning the game, thanks largely to me luckily stumbling upon two vigilantes.

It's not easy being green.
