Stowaway

At the beginning of the game, the Stowaway is the only confirmed human on the boat. The only issue is that they can not take part in any commands, until they are promoted (through throwing another player overboard, Promotion or Whirlpool or Imposter), and they only have a vote power of one, meaning that they have to rely on others to vote with them in order to throw anyone off the boat. Usually, any player who is thrown overboard, no matter what position they were previously, becomes a human stowaway. In Trait games, beware of the Tainted who will always be a ghost, even after being thrown overboard.
==Strategies==
===Classic===
*Remember, you can't win as stowaway in a Classic game.
*As Stowaway, especially near the end of the game, you want to be promoted one way or another. This can happen various ways, but the easiest way is trying to bandwagon everyone else and get them to vote someone off the boat. But, be careful, if you are a human, then you might risk either creating another ghost, or becoming a ghost yourself.
*It is never a good idea to throw the Stowaway, unless you suspect they have been haunted (if the player chosen in Overpower was human, a Whirlpool happened and the Captain was a ghost or they were Cabin Boy and the previous Stowaway was chosen to be the Second in Command in Promotion).
*Try to ignore the Stowaway's votes, they will likely vote on anyone they can, to get to a higher rank. As they vote first, other players may end up bandwagoning and just vote because other people did.
===Scored===
*As stowaway in a scored game, you are going to miss out on the 100 coin bonus for the winning team, so while possible, it is very unlikely that you can win.
*The demotivated secret objective means that you get a huge bonus as The Stowaway, making a stowaway victory possible.
===Trait===
*As with the Classic game, you can't win as stowaway.
*If you are The Tainted then you can claim a moral victory as leader of the ghost team, if they manage to win.
