# **Marshall**

The Marshall is a Town Support role who can reveal themselves to the town similar to Mayor. Once they reveal themselves, for one day only, multiple players can be lynched without ending the day, and the Marshall gains two votes.

Once the day ends, Marshall loses their extra vote and the game goes back to being one lynch per day. The roles and wills of players lynched during this ability are not revealed until the end of the voting period.

## Mechanics

* During the day, the Marshall can use their coin ability to reveal themselves to the town. All town members are alerted *"[x] the Marshall, has revealed themself."*
* For one day only, players who are voted up to the stand are instantly lynched without the judgement phase, and lynching a player will not end the day, allowing for multiple lynches.
* During the group lynch, the roles and wills of players who get lynched will be hidden. Once all three lynches are used up, the roles and wills of the lynched players will be revealed.
* A Marshall and a Mayor cannot spawn in the same game.

## Notifications

[Player] the **Marshall**, has revealed themself.

You may execute [x] more people today.

* This message is broadcasted to the town when the Marshall reveals, and after first lynch.
* 3 people can be executed at first, however this number decreases by one each time someone is lynched during the Marshall's power.

## Strategy

* The biggest drawback to Marshall's ability is that the roles and wills of players lynched in the group lynch are not revealed until it is over. This means that the ability should typically never be used in a 1f1 situation, as you will not know who is lying and who is telling the truth until three players are lynched, by which point it may be too late if you fell for an evil push and lynched three townies.
* Because of this, it is also heavily advised to not use your ability on Day 2. Even if there is a situation where multiple people are being pushed and it would seem ideal to use your ability, you do not know who to trust yet. Especially in the BetterTOS mod, roles such as Jailor or Lookout are not as confirmable due to the existence of Kidnapper and Agent which can easily fake both of those roles. Wait until players are completely confirmed to make pushes with your ability.
* Marshall is countered by the Judge who can easily call court to take advantage of your group lynch ability to kill three townies and end the game. This is incredibly dangerous, so always be wary about this ability before revealing; look for signs of other Neutral Evils if it is possible one can spawn in your set list. If you notice people are claiming to be witched or smokebombed, it is safe to use your ability because the NE slot would be a Witch or Auditor; if not, this is a telltale sign that a Judge may be present in your game who will not wait to pounce at the opportunity to call court when you reveal.

## Fake Claiming **Marshall**

* Unlike Mayor, Marshall is actually a potential fake claim. As it is not a good idea for Marshall to reveal until late game due to the explosive power they have, people will typically not begin to doubt a Marshall claim until a few days into the game.
* Be wary when claiming Marshall, as if there is a Mayor, they can reveal and instantly up you - however, baiting a real Marshall into revealing by claiming this role can be a strategy especially if you are playing as or with a Judge. If there is no Judge however, you will likely be voted out, and have to hope your teammates or other evils can lead to mislynches.
