GOD STRATEGY | Town Traitor

[cob709]

WARNING: DO NOT BREAK IN GAME RULES

Alright, so you know that new game mode- "town traitor"? It's fun, chaotic, and amazing. I've developed a stategy that fifty percent of the time, it works all the time.
I'll try my best to format things so it's easy to read, also, feel free to comment or post your own TT strategies. But please only provide constructive criticism, because I predict someone is gonna call me "trash".

The Strategy
Step 1: Pregame Manipulation
During the NAME CHOOSING PHASE, convince people that you have a jailor scroll, this can be used later if you roll Mafioso or Godfather.

Step 2: Role/Day 1

ROLE = TOWN
If you roll town, then you should exclaim on Day 1, "I'M THE TOWN TRAITOR". DO NOT POST THIS MORE THAN ONCE, AND DO NOT MENTION IT AFTERWARDS
As a result of doing this, mafia will be discouraged from attacking you. In addition, town will mostly ignore this and work on the jailor meta.

ROLE = MAFIOSO/GODFATHER
If you roll Mafioso/Godfather, you should wait until the real jailor claims, and the Counterclaim and say that you're jailor.
Use your "scroll" claim from name picking phase to convince people that you are the real jailor, so that all TPs will be on you instead
On night 1, attack the jailor because all TPs will be inclined to think that you are real jailor

ROLE = TOWN TRAITOR/RANDOM MAFIA
Follow your normal strategy

ROLE = WITCH
Witch the jailor repeatedly until Lookout calls you out, then claim TP and accuse someone else of being witch.
(this strategy is no fully developed)

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit

Discouraging Mafia from attacking you is kind of pointless, since they're going to attack someone regardless. Unless you're sure you're the smartest townie present, but... odds are you aren't.

The Mafioso/Godfather stunt is a legit way to kill the Jailor; the most interesting part is noting that trading the Godfather for the Jailor is totally worth it in TT.
If you get any actual protective who decides to go on the less plausible Jailor claim, though, you're in trouble.

Instructions unclear, got permabanned for cheating because I rolled Mafia in CTT.

Idk why people hate Poisoner so much. If there's no Doctor, having a Poisoner is pretty OP since that's an extra kill each night. Stack that on top of a possible Potion Master, Coven Leader w/ Necronomicon, and a baiting Medusa, the Coven can do some major damage. I personally feel like the Necromancer is the worst Coven in VIP and CTT, since the guaranteed Medusa and general lack of killing roles to use makes it hard to score extra kills.

Coven doesn't have the Jailor meta (mostly due to fear of Medusa), so this strategy is dead in the water.

Incidentally, if this strat somehow did work in Coven, the best role to do it would be Medusa, for an epic slaughter N1.

The hate is for when Poisoner gets the Necronomicon. It hardly benefits at all.

TT Transporter + Potion Master heal + Gazing Medusa + D1 Jailor claim is an epic combo.

Lol no escort will just roleblock you and you'll end up killing nobody. Best strat as medusa is to just say "Crus on jailor, RT TP/LO on me" or smth like that, if you claim jailor you'll get rbed and outed as the medusa.

Poisoner with necronomicon is way worse than all the other roles with necronomicon because every other role can kill instantly with some additional buffs, while poisoner has a delayed kpn and no other special buffs.

why not claim jailor anyway, if you roll an RM role? then have MK kill the jailor.... or is the idea to get a doc on you, in case theres a BG on the jailor?

yea jailor meta doesnt exist because of medusa, but more so because of crusaders, as medusa would likely be jailed n1

The hate for poisoner comes more from the extra night it takes to kill a target.
Say a crus is on the jailor, and CL died n1/day 2. n2- posion crus, n3- go random waiting for crus to die, n4 -poison jailor, n5- go random waiting for jailor to die
So it basically takes 4 nights to kill the 2 targets you needed dead. Sure you may get an extra 2 poisons in the meanwhile, but its also 4 days that you could be discovered, instead of a dead crus day3 and a poisoned jailor n3, you could be jailed and exed n4 or n5 after your target has been hit. Its just too slow to be useful as covens main killing role, and throws any targeting order strategies out the window....

I mean, if town still have 4 coven alive by the start of n3, theyre doing something wrong.....so coven doing major damage is just speeding up a game that was already a town loss,

Jailor should always be jailing fake jailor claims N1 in TT, there is no repercussions for doing this, and it's stupid if the jailor just lets a fake jailor run rampant and lead the town, to the point where even if the fake jailor is caught, the real jailor is suspected of being TT. If someone claims jailor N1 who isn't jailor, and the jailor didn't jail or cc them, I automatically assume its TT jailor.

Poisoner buff idea: With the Necronomicon, the Poisoner bypasses all TPs, not just Doctors.

i claim veteran if the real jailor jails me

Cob's strategy stands a pretty good chance of getting the real Jailor killed N1, before he's able to execute. If the real Jailor shows up in the graveyard, does it matter that all the tp/lo know that the person they thought was Jailor was jailed? I don't think so.

In fact, jailing the fake Jailor in that situation merely serves to prevent the Lookout from getting any results, setting the Town back further.

Still doesnt solve the issue of no insta kill, Its literally the only killing role in the game that requires am inferior targeting strategy which actually helps its rival factions more than it hinders them.

poisoner - hit optimum target (TP), hit sub optimal target (while the TP is dieing), hit optimal target (whoever TP was protecting)

any other role - hit optimal target (TP), hit optimal target (strong role TP was protecting)

As you can see, the poisoner gives that strong town role 2 extra days in the game and 3 extra nights than any other killing role would - except arguably arso
