Executioner

Roles to look out for: Investigator, Jailor, Lookout, Sheriff, Vigilante, Blackmailer, Escort/ Escort, Investigator, Jailor, VigilanteThe executioner is one of my favourite roles. There's no feeling quite like seeing everyone's reactions when you just got them to kill a town member. You have no abilities and nothing but night immunity, so both this role and the jester revolve around with purely manipulating people into killing for you. You typically want to act quickly. The longer you play, the more likely an investigator or someone has found out your target or you.Be very, very careful about when you lie to avoid town killing roles going after you instead of lynching you. Also, you can play logically, but a bit of the jester is relying on luck because you want a convincing enough act to build trust that gets broken but not so convincing the killers have an incentive to go after you.There are many ways in which you can win as the executioner and they are fairly simple or advanced depending on your skill level. The goal of this role is to kill your target by getting them lynched in any way possible: you can lie, you can shout (not spam), etcetera in order to kill your target, however these will be the most effective ones you will know!My technique as Executioner is fairly simple. Wait until day 3 to act or say anything about your target and the whole time, play as logically as possible, discouraging random votes, presenting all possibilities when people make accusations, and so on. Do this to earn trust faster than your target. Then when the day comes, claim to be an investigator and say that you’ve been checking your target multiple times and they come up as framer every day.This is my default approach as executioner, and I rarely see it fail. One thing that can ruin it is the unlikely chance that the mafia did happen to frame your target that night and they think you really are investigator. This usually results in you getting attacked and them seeing that you’re immune though.Here are a few random tactics:First of all I call this tactic the Follow Up Vote as it focuses on randomly voting your target Day 2 and hoping for the other people to do this too, also the Mafia will most likely vote as they want the townies to die, furthermore if you get lucky and they die and were the Mafia, you could mess around with the town making them think you are a townie!Secondly another good tactic would be to act like a sheriff and say that your target is a member of the mafia and that you have double checked it, therefore this must be done around Day 3 and town may believe you.My best tactic that works (Worked every time in Normal games) is the Leader Amongst Men tactic. You claim to be Investigator and say your target is a Leader amongst Men, either GF or Mayor in Day 2 and your town should believe you, but if they say that you are the obvious GF then you can say things along the line like: “Fine, but RB him next night!”, etcetera.When you become a jester staying silent and waiting for people to realize it is also a common trick as jester, but a lot of jester is about capitalizing on other peoples impulses and their trust.
