### Outright Claim

If you outright claim to be Fool, there is a chance that the Village will think that you are a werewolf or solo evil role lying to prevent getting lynched. However, this rarely works. Do not use this strategy when a Villager killing role such as Vigilante/Gunner is still able to kill.

### Random Lynching

You may request The Village to randomly lynch someone. This will draw suspicion against you, but look out for bullets.

### Be Annoying

This involves simply angering people. However, do not go off the limit, to avoid getting reported. Spamming is against the rules regardless of your role. Best way to do this is to pretend to be a new player. Say things like "GUYS WHAT DOES CLICKING ON PEOPLE DO WHY IS THERE A FINGER". Smart village may come to realize quickly that you may be the Fool especially if you are breaking the rules as a Fool.

### Being Silent

This means trying to be silent or be "passive". This will raise suspicion on you because you didn't claim anything and village might lynch you. This usually works when more than half the lobby has claims or is "proven" villagers. You should 'appear' when you are being questioned for role or being voted. However, do not be too silent as the village may think of you as AFK.

### Get a Fake Claim

You can claim a commonly suspicious role like Doctor, Bodyguard, Beast Hunter, Medium, Cursed, RRV or counter claim someone's role to go into a 1f1 vote. Keep in mind that some villagers may use their reveal or killing abilities before going into a 1f1, causing you to lose if you are a target for the reveal or being shot.

You may also claim an informer role. But this can go wrong in many ways. If your information is correct, you may become the werewolves' priority kill target while accidentally becoming confirmed good. If the Shadow Wolf activates their ability to vote on you, there is a high chance that you might have accurately accused a player as a werewolf. If your information is wrong, you are either in a good spot to be lynched, or be killed by a village killing role. Not to mention that you may be revealed by the Vigilante/Pacifist.

You should not claim roles that the village can easily make you suspicious of fool such as Flower Child or Loudmouth. You can try to claim Avenger instead as this can help you survive until the late game (Werewolves will avoid killing you in fear of getting their own killed.) or cause the village to lynch you in a 1f1 attempt ("If you are avenger, tag the other player").

Avoid claiming day killing roles such as Gunner or kill capable roles such as witch as that can get you shot immediately. However, feel free to claim the kill after they have killed for night killing roles. Just make sure that you do not accidentally get yourself become confirmed good especially in a Corruptor/Illusionist game.

In short, try to make it convincing to the village that you are an evil by actively trying to defend yourself with your fake claims. Balance between being suspicious and being good as acting too evil may cause the village to think you are the Fool but acting too good may get you killed by Werewolves or Random Killer.

### **If your role is revealed as Fool**

It's highly unlikely that you would be able to be lynched to win. However, you can try to get yourself converted into another team such as being bitten by the Kitten Wolf's ability, Sect Leader's Convert, Zombie's biting or Bandit turning you into an Accomplice. If such roles are in the game, you can pretend to be converted so that you can confuse the Village. While they may expect such a behavior from you to be that, you might be able to convince them to lynch you if the village is desperate enough to do so. The same applies if you are actually converted since they may not want to lynch a revealed Fool.

If there are no converting roles in game, you should try to get into a situation that there a few left so that you would become a Kingmaker while surviving throughout the game by stalling the game out. Village and Evil roles may try to vote you in an attempt to convince you to side with them since they would be 'trying to help you win'. Keep a lookout for any careless mistakes they might make especially during the last few seconds of voting phase as that might cause yourself to be lynched. In a 1v1 situation (which is most likely against a Random Killer), you should try to force the Random Killer to vote you by voting them since you would be threatening them to lose and remove your vote during the last few seconds of the voting phase. However, keep in mind of the following factors:

* The Random Killer is most likely aware of such a tactic and would wait for you to remove your vote so that they would remove theirs to tie the votes.
* If you manage to lynch the Random Killer, you do not win since you weren't lynched. The game will end in a draw.
* The Random Killer might kill you first just before going into a 1v1 with someone since you could try this strategy while the Village or Werewolves would usually not be able to remove them via lynching (since it would tie the vote) or night killing (Villagers would either have exhausted their killing abilities at that point or does not have one while Random Killers usually cannot be killed by Werewolves)
	+ In a Corruptor/Illusionist game, if your role is not revealed in a 1v1 game against them, it would be best to act like a Villager,Werewolf or headhunter (if you know that it's a random voting game) that has surrendered to them and ask them to vote you to end the game quickly, only for you to emerge victorious instead.
