Turning Over The Game As Jailor
Bodyguard
The key to bodyguard is similar to the doc - try to predict the nightkills each night or protect the most valuable target each night (like a Sheriff or Mayor). This means that you have a fair bit of WiFOM to trudge through as bodyguard, but when you do protect somebody the results are huge - you confirm someone as non-mafia (if you blocked the mafia nightkill), a scum dies, and you die. That's three confirmed alignments right there. On Night 1, try to pick 1 or a colored name - psychology says that those players will be hit most of the time. If there's a confirmed town player, it's almost always the right play to be on them each Night. Also try to determine the patterns of kills - are scum trying to kill lurkers or active townies?
Another strong play with the bodyguard is to team up with a doc and be on eachother every Night. BG-Doc circles are especially powerful during the late game, as you have two town players that can't be nightkilled.
