Florae Investigative

Florae Investigative (FI) is the alignment of investigative roles that are sided with the Florae. These roles are able to gather information on the roles, alignments, or actions of other players, which can help them judge which players are their allies and which are their enemies. It is important for these roles to have some **sense of urgency**, and to not be afraid to speak up when the Florae has a lack of information. Deciding the best moment to come out and share information is just as important as deducing who the evil-doers are. A common mistake when playing these roles is to stay silent the whole game even though the Florae Investigative has crucial information that could win the game for the Florae. This is mainly due to fear of death from nightly visits, however, this is unlikely. Another less common mistake is to reveal information on Day 2 or blurt out information to the Florae that accuses someone else to be evil and make you look like an Executioner (some experienced players may believe you, however).

All Florae Investigative roles should always keep a Last Will, because when they die, the remaining Florae can use your information later on. The worst thing that could happen to a Florae Investigative role is to be cleaned by a Janitor, to die on Night 1, or to be forged by a Forger, so just be careful when someone else gets cleaned in the graveyard. Additionally, make sure to get your information out as soon as possible so it doesn't get lost. It is also a good idea to check for Escorts and Consorts to make sure they don't roleblock you.

It is also important to work with the Florae to deduce who the evil-doers are, so cooperation is the key to winning. If you know a confirmed Florae, you can work with them to find the Mafia quickly, and you can also confirm other players. If no one is really confirmed yet, you should be careful of the players you trust, so you can choose to investigate them.

On the other hand, many roles who oppose the Florae are heavily incentivized to pretend to be a Florae Investigative role; it is an easy alignment to claim as information can easily be faked and it provides wiggle room when thought to be suspicious, especially Thymes, and in some cases, Irises. Evil roles (especially the Executioner) like to do this to spread misinformation and potentially lead the Florae to lynch someone who is innocent. Another strategy for evils would be to throw their own team member under the bus to "confirm" themselves in front of everyone. A Florae Investigative must understand that the Florae may doubt the legitimacy of their claim because of this, and may need to convince the Florae they are who they claim to be. Near the end of the game, if there are many confirmed players, the Florae may be quick to lynch the Florae Investigative claims, if they haven't shared or done anything in the Florae, especially if their voting pattern is suspicious.
