The Jailor and his very slippery soap

This guy is a mix of the Escort, the Vigilante and a Consigliere. He's usually the nicest person in the game and he normally doesnt talk much during the day. He's also one of the highest priority targets for all evil roles. Here's my take on the Jailor.

As the Jailor you have the ability to take someone into prison every night. To do so you must use your ability button (the one that looks like a Sun up next to your Will) at day time. Always remember to do that as soon as someone is suspicious because it is very easy to forget!

When you have someone in jail, you two can talk. Your prisoner will not know who you are. And if you choose to do that, you have the ability to execute your target too. 

Some things to remember:

- You cannot execute in the first night.

- If you execute an innocent, you loose all your remaining executions.

- You only have three executions.

- You can be blocked from executing your target by roleblockers.

- There is only one Jailor per game.

- If you jail a Serial Killer and dont execute him, he will kill you.

- Your prisoner is safe from harm but is also roleblocked.

Onto the playstyle. Since you cannot execute anyone in the first night, it's entirely up to you if you want to jail anyone. The only advantage is that you'd get a start on people's possible roles and may be able to make an ally. The disadvantages are that you might roleblock an investigative role. You might get killed by the Serial Killer. People may not even talk to you because you cant kill them on the first night anyways. Choose yourself if you want to jail someone in the first night.

Make sure you leave everything you know in your will. If you happen to get an investigator in there then make sure to add his info to yours too! 

You should also consider using a password, or if you want to prepare for people stealing it, use several passwords. One per night. The password is for you to say when you're getting lynched, so your prisoners can vouch for your innocence. Obviously if you only use one password, one of your evil prisoners might use that to save themselves, so you might want to point out that you had one password per night.

In any case, once it's daytime again, you will want to watch your former prisoners closely. If they claim a different role than they did in jail, jail them again and execute. 

Also if nobody died, then also get the same prisoner again. And if nobody dies in two consecutive nights where you had the same prisoner, it's more or less safe to execute him.

If there are jesters or executioners proven in the town, then dont hesitate to execute them too. They arent innocent so they wont remove your remaining executions. They might also get in the way of votings later in the game.

Remember that there is always that chance you'll imprison the Serial Killer. Keep your will updated so if you do die, the other townies will know who your last prisoner was.

A good way to put pressure on your prisoner is to hit the execute button right off the bat. They will see that you're about to kill them and panic. You can always stop the execution by hitting the button again. But doing this will definitely filter out some inexperienced evil roles.

If you do die to the Serial Killer you imprisoned, the game will tell you that it was your prisoner. There wil be a message saying "You were killed by the Serial Killer you jailed." If that message doesnt show up and you were still killed by the Serial Killer, then your prisoner wasnt it! Be sure to tell the medium at night!

If someone is proven innocent by others or by people's wills, then it may be a good idea to jail them. Doing so will protect them. You can also feel free to tell them who you are, so they can vouch for you. 

Dont feel bad if someone talks trash to you when you decide to execute them. Your executions are up to you and usually they should be for pretty solid evidence. If your prisoner still turns out to be innocent, it's entirely their fault for either lying or misleading people, or the evil roles liek the Framer were exceptionally cunning. If you're a good Jailor doing his job the way he's supposed to, a dead innocent town member should never be your own fault!
