-Getting your Target Lynched-


There are two routes to take as Lyncher.  Aggressive and Passive. 


AGGRESSIVE PLAY - Usually involves claiming a PR and at some point trying to lead on your target.  Depending how you go about this, it can either be a dead give away or cunningly deceitful.  After you claim a PR, you may want to consider not directly leading on your target with a fake guilty.  Rather than claiming with a fake guilty on your target, a good idea would be to claim with an innocent on your cc to make him look like lyncher.  Then later that day or tomorrow try to causally direct peoples votes to your target.  Another idea would be to try to lynch mafia to clear yourself, and then right after lead on your target.        

Pros:
  • Puts you in more control of village actions if done persuasively and correctly
  • Helps mafia, which during later days should put you in a better position to joint with them

Cons:
  • Hinders village, which decreases your chances of winning with them if your target dies
  • Makes it hard to directly lead on your target without arousing suspicion



PASSIVE PLAY - Patiently wait to incriminate your target.  Involves building on other peoples fos's towards your target, whispering PR's to gain their trust with the hopes they will clear you if they die.  Your overall goal is to buddy and go unnoticed while having a secret agenda to lynch your target when the opportunity is ideal.  Likely involves claiming blue or a weak PR.


Winning Passively


Pros:
  • Better chance to hide your identity as lyncher
  • Lets you scumhunt trying to incriminate both mafia and your target

Cons:
  • Put you in a situation where you have to manipulate the PR's
  • Usually comes down to luck

 

-Lynching Hunter without getting Shot-

Perhaps your feeling particularly ballsy or just plain crazy if your considering trying this!  But if your target is the hunter, there is still a marginal chance that you can successfully do this without having to CC and get shot.  You will need to have the perfect condition in terms of scenario and setup to be able to successfully pull this off.

I recommend only trying this when,

  • There are whispers
  • You are semi-clear or clear
  • You are leading the town's vote
  • You have had people whisper you their roles
  • You have a good scapegoat

You lead a lynch on the real hunter saying he is cc'd in whispers.  Then after everyone votes him and he's about to shoot, choose your scapegoat wisely and say he/she cc'd hunter in whispers.  Hopefully this will get your scapegoat shot, thus giving you a miraculously win.


Lynching the hunter correctly


Pros:
  • Epic Win
  • You get +k'd for an amazing play

Cons:
  • Very hard to pull off successful
  • Usually end up getting shot or lynched instead
