Overview
The Mason is a unique role that becomes exponentially more powerful the more players are Masons and the longer the game goes on. The role knows the identity of other masons and is able to communicate with them at night.
Strategies
- Simply having Masons in the game allows for the Town to use a variety of otherwise extremely difficult to perform strategies revolving around their two or more automatically confirmed innocents
- A Mason's power is exponentially proportionate to the number of Masons and the length of the game. Having two or more confirmed innocents towards the end of the game helps to narrow down the Mafia immensely.
- Claiming at the start of the game can be particularly useful as it saves Sheriffs and Investigators one or more night checks. The mafia essentially has no way to deal with this as claiming Masons for themselves will only provoke the investigation of them. Even if the Mafia chooses to attack the Masons immediately because of this, the worst possible outcome is some free nights for the power roles to pick up momentum for the town.
- Always leave the names of fellow Mason's using the last will feature if the Masons have yet to claim. This may prove to save the Masons life or waste a Mafia kill that could have been dedicated to a power role. Use the last will command by typing -last will message into the chat box.
Notes
- Along with the Spy, Mayor, Executioner, and Jester the Mason is one of only three roles with no active night abilities.
- The Masons earn bonus points at the end of the game.
- Mason cannot be selected through Random Town or Random Any as a single Mason, the role will always random as at least a pair
