-Playing as a Mafioso-

Yakked-Into-Mafia

The first thing you need to keep in mind if you are yakked, is what to claim. Let’s look at Don’t Lose Yo Village. If you get yakked as hunter, you don’t want to claim hunter. You’d be better off cc’ing BP, or if you’re feeling good blue. BP is easier as A. You won’t be hunter tested, and B. You’ll have 2 other people claiming bp, so less attention will be on you. One exception to this rule is if you last to 5-way lylo without claiming; this happens most of the time. That night you’ll find out your maf partner. If that person is very experienced and good, has NO FoS on them, it’s ok to claim Hunter at 5-way lylo. You have to be careful and sway at least one vote on a townie. People would consider you not yakked because you claimed hunter, and this might work. If they lynch your partner, though, you are going to be lynched the next day, so be careful. On the other hand, if your partner is EXTEREMLY FoS’d, you are better off claiming his role and he’ll cc someone. Chances are your partner will be lynched, but you will have a safe claim. After seeing you are yakked, you must decide what you should claim. In other setups, a massclaim would be triggered faster than DLYV. Choose wisely. Remember, if you claim once, you can’t claim again.

Natural Nilla

Once you see yourself as nilla DON’T DESPAIR. You might not be powerful, but you are critical. Besides, being nilla is better than being blue. Either you should either be as pro-town as you can, or you should serve as a scapegoat for your mafia partners- especially if they are a power role. You can purposely seem scummy in order to draw attention from your partners, which will help mafia than it will hurt it. At night, you should discuss cc’s. If there’s a cop, a doc, 3 blues, 1 maf, and 1 gf, as nilla you cc cop. The GF claims doc or blue. Remember, a cop cc does not investigate their cc and this helps your partner get away even if you don’t. If there is a watcher or bomb in the setup, you should always vote first at night. This means you die from bomb, and watcher gets you visiting people, and you thus save your partners. In fact, you can purposely kill the bomb, taking out a clear from the town. If a bomb claims at day, and your partner is not fos’d, you can cc bomb and kill bomb that night. This prevents you from being lynched on lylo, and giving town an unkillable clear.

General Nilla Check list
  • Never give up, no matter how bad the first few deaths are. I found this game that proves the point: http://www.epicmafia.com/game/188689
  • Again, don’t despair and help your maf partners out.
  • Don’t be afraid to cc a pr. As I said earlier, it’s better for you to cc cop than a gf.
  • A miller claim would be decent, if there is one.
    • Always remember this line: “Hi, I’m mafia. Unless you’re a cop, then I’m miller.”
  • You being bussed is better than you bussing an important mafia power role.
  • Don’t give up. If a town pr gets a guilty on you, don’t try to make him seem scummy. WiFoM and make someone else seem scummy, or your partner towny. It works better.
    • One thing you can do is find someone who voted late/hasn’t voted yet and be like “It’s fine, PlayerB, you can vote me” in a leak whisper. Or you can do that to your mafia partner to make it seem like you’re trying to make them seem scummy. WiFoM. You can also try to make a town seem towny, and through wifom you can make them seem like they’re mafia.
      • But BE CAREFUL! You can overdo it! If so, it can blow up in your face and make your partner seem scummy, or make a town seem towny, Neither are good for you.
