Last Will

A last will is a piece of paper that is shown to the rest of the town after you die. Players can edit what is shown in a will using the button at the top of the screen, the one that looks like a normal piece of paper. A players last will often includes critical information, although is a focal point for the use of deception in the game. Townie role wills will sometimes include descriptions of what they were doing in each of the nights.

The use of wills
Last wills can be cruical to the Townie roles as they can provide a summary of information gained before death, often stylised in a simple way.

For example, a Lookout's will might include:

Lookout:

N1: Watched John - Sandy and Mary visted them.

N2: Watched Mary - Ian visited them (Mary died? Ian suspicious?)

In this example, the nights are shown as N1 and N2 for each of the nights. Many players like to show their willls in this fashion but there are a number of advantages and disadvantages for the Townies when used this way. Other roles, such as Mafias, won't use wills in such a way. A Neutral role, such as the Jester, will sometimes the will as a means of teasing the other players for having hanged them.

Advantages of using Last Wills

 * (For Townies) So long as they are comprehensive and easy to understand, they can contain information that may lead to a successful lynching after the will is shown
 * (For Townies) If a will a has suggestive evidence, this may incite the medium Townie to talk to whoever left the will to clarify information or to get suggestions which may lead to a successful lynching
 * (For any Role) Last Wills can clear someones name if multiple cases of evidence show that they are innocent, and are often used as evidence when someone is to be hanged
 * (For Mafia) A mafia member can use a last will to try and say whoever is the Serial Killer, which may lead to them being hanged

Disadvantages of using Last Wills

 * (For Townies) Wills can lead to many wrong lynches as well, especially where details about townies who have been framed or (wrongly) accused are included, to which the mafia or other roles will exploit for their own gain
 * (For any Role) Although wills can contain important information, the nature of deception in the game may lead to some wills being disregarded whereas the information included is actually correct
 * (For Townies) Some players may find unentered information suspicious. If a player is killed before they can complete the will for that night, then the next day it may come up partly completed and may lead to a wrong lynching (or possibly a correct one). The investigator for instance may have found them not suspicious but they get lynched anyway
 * (For Townies) Some wills will contain information about who might be what role. This information is just as precious to the mafia as it is townies. The mafia might use the information to select their next target which could be a key role.
