Using the Death Note to your advantage 101, Edition: Mafioso Without Consigliere

1) Think about which player you want to target. Especially look for quiet ones and jester-ish ones.

2) Write this or something similar to this in the death note: "Hi, it's [PlayerName]. I really hate this role, it's the 3rd time in a row i've been mafioso, and I want to leave but I don't want the penalty. I don't care whether jailor, vig, or lynch, but please kill me so I can leave."

3) If you're very lucky or have a dumb town, or there is already evidence against the person, they'll actually lynch the person, but this rarely happens. If you're a little lucky, they'll say something like "No, I'm not maf, I'm BG." (or something like that.) Then the mafia can kill them. Note: If a BG, wait for the vest to be used that night before killing the following night.

This will probably not work on more experienced towns, but if your town is lackadaisical or overzealous in lynching, go for it! Very effective on newer players, Ranked Practice, and low elo cesspools.
