Premise
Last Will is a term used to refer to the last will mechanic. By using the last will command, players are able to leave messages that upon their death will be revealed to the entire town. Last wills heavily favor the Town in most settings.
Applicable Situations
Last wills are applicable to almost all roles, except for Neutral roles that include survival as a victory condition (unless the Neutral player is feeling especially generous to a particular side). Investigative roles (Sheriff, Investigator, Consigliere) benefit immensely from last wills.
- Sheriff - Revealing all his findings
- A Sheriff has quietly kept a list of which players came up as clean to avoid letting the Mafia kill all known Town members. However, this information is useless if it dies with the Sheriff, so they store it all in the last will which may well win the game for the Town.
- Investigator - Uncertain findings
- In a similar situation, an Investigator discovers someone possessing knives. His target could be the Serial Killer or a Doctor. Lynching the Serial Killer would be great, but revealing a Doctor is disasterous. In this case, it is generally recommended to even avoid putting the person in question in the last will except to clear them from being Mafia until very late game.
Advantages
- Allows a large amount of important information to be communicated at the last possible moment.
- Can easily win many games if used correctly.
