Nobody knows how the blackmailer blackmails their target so well in Town of Salem, but it sure is effective. Any non-mafia player can be targeted by the blackmailer at night, and in the day they can not say anything. If they are voted to be lynched, whenever they try to say anything it will say “I am blackmailed!”

As a blackmailer, you should try targeting neutral roles with your blackmails. You can then accuse them of being scum, and since they can’t talk they will likely get voted and lynched. You can blackmail a town member and accuse them as well, but if they get lynched you’ll probably get lynched the day after.

If you get blackmailed, it can be insanely frustrating, especially if you’re a neutral role. There is absolutely nothing you can do if you get blackmailed, so just sit back and hope you don’t get lynched.

Framers are a powerful mafia role in Town of Salem. They are able to target any player in the night and make them look guilty to a sheriff’s report. This is especially useful if the sheriff states who he/she is going to investigate, because the framer can simply frame that person and get an innocent town member lynched.

As a framer, framing every night is a good idea. Don’t frame someone who the sheriff is obviously not going to be checking, like an uncced PR or a clear. Be careful not to try and frame a veteran, as you will get killed. Act as town-like as possible. Aside from your special ability, you should act like a mafioso.

As a town member with a framer in the game, always be weary. Make sure to warn people that not all guilty reports are true. If you are the sheriff, try not to make who you’re investigating too obvious, as to prevent the framer from being able to taint your reports.

This hook is sampled from the original song “Last Christmas” by Wham!

On the holiday of Christmas, you give people gifts. She poetically gave someone her love last Christmas but he didn’t treat her right. To save her from pain in the future, she’ll give her love to someone who actually cares.

The Retributionist is an incredibly powerful and helpful role in Town Of Salem. The retributionist has the power to revive any town-sided player in the graveyard, once.

With all this power comes danger as well. If mafia or evil neutrals know who the retributionist is, they will likely target them instantly. This means it’s a good idea to keep your role hidden until after you have already revived someone. Don’t hardclaim unless you’re being lynched or you have already used your revive.

When deciding who to revive, think about how important the role is to the town. If there is an important town member that has no protection, consider revivng a protective role. If the town has lost a cop or jailor, definitely revive them as soon as possible. Always consider what will assist the town the most.
