Inno is the opposite term of guilty. When a cop investigates someone and they turn out to be village sided, the cop will say that player is “inno.” If a cop is uncced, their innocent reports clear whoever they are on.

Be wary of innocent reports though. Keep in mind the lawyer role can make any mafia member turn out innocent to a cop, and also remember that the GodFather is always innocent when investigated.

Example of inno
Player1, the cop, investigates Player2
Player1: Player2 is inno.

Hardclaim is the term for when someone claims their role 100%. They claim the name of their role. Cops and other leading PRs often hardclaim early in the game, while unprotected and non-leading PRs typically hardclaim later in the game.

If you’re a Doctor or Retributionist, DO NOT HARDCLAIM UNLESS ABSOLOUTELY NEEDED. If you’re an oracle, it’s a good idea to stay hidden and not hardclaim so that the mafia might accidentally kill you, revealing someone as a clear or mafia. Consider the consequences vs benefits of hardclaiming before doing so.

Example of hardclaim
Player1: I’m cop
Player2: I’m gunsmith
Player3: I’m bomb

Guilty is the term for an anti-town aligned player in a cop/sheriff’s report. When a cop/sheriff investigates a player in the night, they get a report on what they’re aligned with during the day. If they’re not aligned with the town (or they’re miller, framed, blackmailed, etc.) then the report will say that they’re guilty. When a cop/sheriff is telling the town this, they will typically just say “player guilty”.

Example of guilty
Player1: Cop here, Player3 guilty.
Player2: I cc. Player4 guilty.

Graveyard is the term for the pool of dead players. If you have been killed, you are sent here.

The only time graveyard is really mentioned is when a medium is in the game. The medium might have good intel from the graveyard.

Example of GY
Player1 dies
The game advances to night
Player2, the medium: Who killed you?
Player1: It was Player3, he’s the SK. He killed me.
The game advances to the day
Player2: Medium here. Talked to the GY, Player1 says Player3 is the SK. Lynch him.

FMPOV is a very simple term meaning “From my point of view”. It is used when you’re wanting to say something that is only true from your specific point of view. In 3 ways with one clear, the two other players are confirmed mafia from each other’s point of view. If you are cop and get cc'ed, the person ccing you is confirmed FYPOV.

Often times if someone says “you’re confirmed mafia” the person being accused will say “no I’m not.” This causes the accuser to say “FMPOV you are.” This is the most common useage of FMPOV.

FOS is an initialism of the phrase “Finger of Suspicion”. It simply means someone who you think is mafia/anti-town role, but aren’t 100% sure. FOS' can be used in situations where there are no for-sure lynches, as the town leader can gather FOS' and lynch based off of that.

If someone FOSs an uncced player, or a clear, that can get them into trouble. Be sure not to throw around FOS' all the time, especially if you’re mafia and the only person you don’t FOS is your partner. People will catch on and lynch you.

Example of FOS
Player1: I FOS Player2
Player3: Why?
Player1: He hasn’t been talking much, and he voted not to lynch the mafia last round.

Fake-claims are a strategy of sorts that can be employed by the town very effectively. Fake-claim simply means a claim that was intended to be fake from the start, so mafia claims don’t count as fake-claims. If you are a non-PR, you can fake-claim a PR role early in the first day or two, then retract soon after. This leaves an uncced person that can lead the town, since mafia probably didn’t cc when they would have because someone else already did.

To make your fake-claim much more effective, and near gurantee that the mafia won’t cc, you should make your report/claim something that puts direct guilt on the real claim. If you’re fake-claiming cop, do a guilty report on the real one. This makes mafia think “oh, well neither of them are mafia, but one of them is about to get lynched. no reason for one of us to claim now!”

Example of fake-claiming
Player1: Cop here. Player3 innocent.
Player2: I cc. I got Player1 guilty.
Player1: Well okay then.
Player3: I think Player2 is real.
Player2: I retract. I was fake-claiming. It worked, now we have an uncced cop.
Player1: Good play.

EpicMafia: Lyncher
Town of Salem: Executioner
both function the same, with one exception.

The executioner is a very unique role to play with and against in both games. Whenever there is one in the game, you have to be careful about who you lynch as a town member. Their whole goal is to lynch a specific person during the day. They can do this in a variety of ways, such as claiming to be sheriff/cop and getting a “guilty” report on them, claiming to be a lookout and saying that the person who died last night was visited by that person, or even just simply pushing on them.

If the executioner’s target gets killed during the night, the executioner turns into a jester, whose whole goal is to get themselves lynched. This means that the night after their target person died, they can say things like “HAH! Take that you annoying $%#$!” or “Finally I got to kill you!” to make the town think they’re really the one who killed them. As long as nobody notices the possibility of a jester, this makes the town lynch them and gives the win to the jester. Note: Does not apply to EpicMafia

If your target turns out to be a PR or clear, you can try co-operating with the mafia to get them killed, that way you’re not guranteed a loss.

Their were rumors that Miami Heat officials were targeting Carmelo Anthony in free agency.
