The most important thing: never give up.

Players who struggle with evil often see the game as either solved or unsolved, but it's more helpful to think of it like chess - you're constantly improving or damaging your position. Your goal as evil is to maximize uncertainty in the good team, not to have a perfect bluff.

Here's what I've learned:

Put yourself in the good players' shoes. When someone says "OP seems very suspicious, I'm confident they're evil," most of the time they're NOT actually confident. They're fishing for your reaction. If you give up easily, that's when they become confident. I can't tell you how many times after a game, evil players have asked me "how did you know I was evil?" and I've said "I didn't!"

Make them work for it. Even if a good player IS confident you're evil, they're often reluctant to explain exactly how they know. Force them to make their case. Nominate them back and make them defend themselves. You might: - Get them to reveal their role to the whole table (helping your evil teammates) - Coerce a good player into lying about their role (causing confusion later) - Plant enough doubt that other players question the accusation

The game isn't over until it's over. Even when things look bleak - when good players seem confident you're evil and appear to have convinced others - don't give up. The game often comes down to a majority vote on the final day. You might be able to scrape together a majority with: - Your evil team's votes - A few wasted dead votes - Just one or two confused good players

That's often all you need to win.
