Overview

The Amnesiac is a neutral role with the ability to take on the roles of people in the graveyard, swaying the game balance into either faction, depending on what he chooses. He is one of the most sought-after roles, being able to reinforce any side which has taken losses.

Strategy

  • It is always a good idea to wait for a few nights before taking on a role. Then you will be able to tell if the town will win or not, and pick which side seems to be in power.
  • It is not always a good idea to pick someone who was cleaned by a Janitor, you might end up with a unneeded or unwanted role.
  • If you are joining the town, pick important roles like Sheriff or Doctor, not minor ones like Citizen or Mason.
  • It is not always a good idea to reveal yourself as Amnesiac so as to bolster your chances for survival. It is similar to the Survivor - sometimes the Town will lynch you because they can't trust you. The more the game goes on, the more each side can trust you less, as you increasingly have more power to tilt the scales to either team (if Mafia has a dead member), so sometimes it can be a good idea to take on a role as soon as possible, as this also means you can start working on your faction's behalf early on, thus bolstering your chances at victory.
  • Claiming Mafia is a very generally a good way to go, especially if it's later in the game. From a number's game, situations like 3 town vs 2 mafia vs 1 amnesiac turn better out better for the amnesiac if it turns into 3 vs instead of 4 town vs 2 mafia.

Options

  • New role revealed to town - (Default: On)
  • Cannot become Town - (Default: Off)
  • Cannot become Mafia - (Default: Off)
  • Cannot become a killing role - (Default: On)

Notes

  • If you have not selected any role and die as the Amnesiac, you will not win at the end of the game. If you die as a Town or Mafia role, then you will still get points for your victory if your selected faction has won.
