Doctor!

While this is a highly unorthodox strategy, my favourite lie is "I'll help the Town in exchange for not being lynched."

When a Mafia/Coven member without Basic defense is found, offer to kill them. That way, the Jailor or Vigilante doesn't have to waste an execution or a bullet, and the noose can be used for someone else. Of course, your goal is to try and keep it even between Town and Mafia/Coven throughout the whole game. If the game slides in favour of one alignment, say you will attack tonight, but go for someone else instead. When confronted, say that a Transporter must have screwed up.

If you are jailed, frantically claim Mayor and say that the SK must be going along with you to avoid suspicion. Promise to reveal tomorrow. When you do end up killing him, put in your Death Note that you were sorry, and that you're still working with the Town. If the Jailor is resurrected, tell him to make sure NOT to jail you.

Ideally you'll force the game into a 1v1v1 situation, Town vs Mafia/Coven vs You. Hopefully the Town member will reward you for helping them and lynch the Mafia/Coven, allowing you to win.

Or, you could just backstab the Town (literally) and take the win that way...

I've won 2 or 3 games doing this, so while unusual, it's not a bad strategy and it's not at all gamethrowing.
