I've got a small Medium strategy idea!

Everybody whispers a "Medium Code" to the person below them on the list. For example, 4 whispers to 5 and 11 whispers to 12 etc. (15 to 1, obviously) This way, everybody gives and receives one secret code unknown to others. And when someone dies, they tell the code they gave and received to the Medium. When the Medium tells the code to the other Townies, they'll be proven with two people supporting her. This would also help us to identify actual Mediums and fake-claiming Janitors.

There are two huge dangers to the strategy though: Blackmailers and Disquisers! Blackmailer's case is obvious, they'll be able to know each person's code by their ability to read whispers. Disquiser's case is a little bit more complicated but less dangerous. Mafia is a team and they can share the codes with each others at night. You can actually avoid them to be falsely confirmed by simply not trusting codes coming from a Mafia member since they don't even have a reason to help Medium. However, Disquiser will look like a Townie after death most of the time and this would allow Mafia to prove themselves with ease. They won't be able to know other Townies' codes though so this still is kinda safe.

I dunno, nothing good would come out of the strategy I suggested so don't try this at home :D
