A strategy I recently used as GF was with regard to lynching my subordinates.

Granted, this takes a lot of trust on the part of the teammates, but here's the thing. If your subordinate is getting lynched, and you're pretty sure he's going to hang for his crimes, vote him to hang. A common mistake I see in GFs is abstaining from votes or voting innocent on their own guys that have been ousted by sheriffs or investigators. By abstaining or going against the vote, you paint yourself as a target for investigation. Join in with the lynch mob and vote them guilty. When the mob sees that you voted to kill one of the mafia, suspicion doesn't get raised.

I tried this tonight in a classic game, and it worked so well (because I voted to lynch both my framer and mafioso) that when the final townie hung, the players still in the game weren't sure that I had just won. Apparently it's an unpopular tactic, but it definitely merits mentioning. After all, at the end of the game, if the mob still stands, the mob still wins.

If you're sure that spies aren't in the game, talk amongst your teammates about this strategy. That way, if you lynch one of your guys and he gets butthurt about it, he doesn't go blabbing to a medium and feeding information about who's in the mob.
