Cop

-Faking a Guilty Report-

Criteria:

  1. Must have no counter claims.
  2. Role must be proven that it has not been janned.
  3. Cannot be a multi-setup (unless there is a cop in every variation).

If you meet all the above, always fake a guilty. Preferably on someone who isn't an experienced player.  Plan ahead and decide who you want to fake your guilty report on and be ready to type the fake guilty report regardless of what your real report is.  Even if your real report is a guilty, you have a chance of smoking out the other mafia with this tactic.  After you post the fake guilty out loud, vote for the player to give the report validity. Everyone should bandwagon on that person.  It's crucial is to know when to remove your vote and admit you were reaction testing.  Usually the person you faked a guilty report on (if they are village) won't hammer on themselves immediately when all votes are on them.  A good amount of time to wait after all votes are on that person is about 5-10 seconds to make before removing your vote to gauge their reaction. Be aware of voting patterns.
