Veteran

The Veteran is arguably one of the most powerful Town roles, with the ability to defend him(or her)self at night with a well placed bullet that ignores Night Immunity.

The Veteran goes home a happy man knowing that there is one less Mafia on the loose and has been hung thanks to him. He turns off his light and goes to his chair for a nice cold drink sitting in the dark. Outside the Godfather wants vengeance for his killed family member so he decided to take matters into his own hands, telling his Disguiser to clean up the mess once he is done and take his place. Sneaking into his house at night to stop from being notices by the other townsmen, he sees the man enjoying his drink and walks up behind him pointing a gun at his head saying "you killed my men... now it's your turn". Firing his gun, the body falls flat on the floor only for the lights to turn on. It turned out to be a dummy. The Veteran stands behind him, and only says one word before pulling the trigger: "boo". Later on the Disguiser comes over to make an outfit out of the clothes the Veteran left behind only to find his Godfather dead on the floor. The last thing he hears is the sound of a firing pin release. The Veteran calmly drags the bodies into the street for the Town to see the next day.

Strategy
The Veteran can be a tricky class to master since you only have 3 alerts and, during those alerts, you can do more harm then good.

- One way of not wasting your alerts for nothing is to make yourself a target for the bad guys by saying something like "Stop roleblocking me I'm the doctor" or "I think I know who one of the mafia is but I'm gonna doublecheck in case of transporter". Using the second one you should try to say it just a few seconds before the day ends so noone has time to question you about it. Using something like the first one might make a doctor or bodyguard come visit you. Try to figure out ways of making yourself a target without killing townies.

- As Veteran you want to make yourself a target the nights you are going on alert but you want to do it in a way that the town members don't want to come investigate you. Since if you do it poorly you might end up killing half the town.

- Using an alert night one might feel tempting but more often then not it will just end up being a waste of an alert. However it may be a good idea if you are first or last on the list. Sometimes this backfires and kills a townie but often it results in the death of a mafia member, sk or arsonist.

- You should always try to save one alert for as long as posible, for when you think you will be targeted.

- The trickiest part of being a veteran is anticipating when you will be attacked and not wasting your alerts for nothing.

- If you manage to kill for example an investigator who wrote who they visited you can prove that you are the veteran and make your voice count for a lot during the day since you are a confirmed town member.

-Think logically! Everyone has their own playstyle but unless you bring attention to yourself early on or have a name that stands out, you have a smaller chance of being attacked in the beginning of the game because of all the potential targets. Aside from some unlucky deaths, you'll find that saving alerts in the beginning boosts your survivability up later in the game when baddies have fewer targets to choose from and they will more likely pick you.
