Tightly Knit

Notes

Good and evil ties are forged with roles that create relationships. Kazali, Lord of Typhon, and Marionette create voting patterns among friends and neighbors. Lil' Monta and Typhon both produce an extra minion, while Typhon and Kazali create arbitrary outsider counts. Many confirmation roles are easily bluffable by evil. A Widow can poison a Farmer and claim to have caught it when the Farmer dies. Evil can claim Nightwatchman confirmation or back into Pixie. Roles like High Priestess, Cannibal, and Librarian foster trust between players. General and Savant can inform Town of unique setups from this trio of demons. Town needs to balance gaining information with the threat of Evil voting majority. In dire circumstances, a Mayor bounce or Slayer shot can turn the tides.
