Fool
How to win as fool
The fool's goal is to get themselves lynched. Town will almost never want to lynch when there is a fool. If it's lylo you can self vote and joint with mafia for an easy win. Fool is a unique because you may pick your alignment, which is only one of 3 roles that allow you to (the other 2 being Amnesiac and Survivor). There are 3 ways to win as fool.
Pro-Town Fool: Pro-Town Fool can win (and get 10 points) if village wins, and it counts as a fool victory. This is not the best way to go if you are trophy running or play for points, but for win percentage it is an easy way to win a boost. Being a pro-town fool involves outting yourself right away. Mafia may kill you but it would be a bad move for them if there are power roles still alive. Another way to be a pro-town fool is self vote at lylo, and if mafia trusts you and begins to vote for you, then switch your vote for the mafia afterwards. This can be a good side because town cannot back-stab you without a vigilante alive. However you sacrifice points and the win if mafia manages to lynch a townie even with you alive.
Mafia-sided Fool: The best way to win as mafia sided fool is to out yourself as fool right away (be careful if there is a vigilante) and tell them that you are going to joint on lylo and just sit there. This gives you more points but be careful as the mafia can and will backstab you and take your win. It is up to you if you want to risk being backstabbed by the mafia.
Lone-sided Fool: The hardest way to win as fool is the Lone-sided fool. Being lone-sided involves you not going for joints. Usually town will not bother lynching with fool alive until it is mylo, even if they have a mislynch so until it is mylo it is best as fool to just try and survive. Then once it is mylo cc a power role, or act scummy and not help town (or, irritate a mafia until they omgus and get you lynched is another way) but do not come on too strongly that you are fool. Do not do things like spam in all caps, vote fast, yell, make obviously fake scumslips, etc. Just act like you would if you were mafia. Sadly if you fail to get lynched on mylo and mafia lynches a townie, you do not get any points so it is best to go for one of the first two fool sides.

How to win against Fool
Fool is hard to fight. It will cc power roles, self vote on lylo and overall troll town and throw them off. The best way to deal with a fool is to treat it like it is a Traitor that cannot be lynched, and do not go to lylo with a fool alive under any circumstances. Be wary of fool and be extra careful of who you lynch, if somebody seems excited about being lynched they may be fool for instance. There are distinct variations between fool and mafia behavior but they are not always easy to tell the difference between so the best way to fight against a fool is to just be prepared. Thankfully, not many competitive setups use fool (Most known is Fool Training by lucidrains) so they are rare to look out for.
