Well the medium is an unpopular role. You can talk to the dead, or to the living once when you're dead. Big Whoop, right? But think of it this way:
- You're one of the few roles that can make allies somewhat reliably.
- You're one of the few roles that can prove your role, to some extent.
- You can also help convey what the dead didnt manage to!
- Should you die, you can gather information from the dead and deliver it to the living later in the game.
The medium is versatile! Let me talk you through those things...
Making allies: Lets assume that the game started horribly. Sheriff and Investigator got murdered and the Doctor was shot by a Veteran he visited. That is an awful start to any game.
At this point I'd start writing my will.Write down the dead roles with space for what they said next to them. And at night, question the dead. What did the Sheriff and Investigator find out? Maybe they found a person who is 100% innocent. Like the Doctor. He should know who the Veteran is that he visited..
Either way, you should have a few names from them. Hopefully some innocent people's names. The next day you should immediately whisper to those and say that you know they're innocent and that you'll stand up for them. Tell them you're a medium, there's nothing wrong with doing that in whispering. When you've made allies, tell them who is guilty, if you know any. That's how to make allies as the medium. You may not reliably be able to get people's attention as a medium, but the people you ally with can try to gather actual evidence to do that for you...
Should you get lynched dont insist on shouting out your role. Medium is probably the most used lie there is because you can just claim anything without people being able to check the validity of it. Instead try to name the other innocents or what the dead told you. With some luck, assuming the leftover survivors are somewhat smart, you should get spared.
People who stand up for others are more than likely to be innocent as well. Afterall the mafia already have each-other as allies, Only very rarely do they bother allying with innocents as well...
And if you do get killed, you left your will with all the info, right?
When you're dead early on, dont leave. When other people die, they can tell you who is reliable and you can contact that person later in the game with information they need to win!
But dont worry. for whatever reason the medium isnt considered a high priority target by the evil roles. If you do have to give out your role, you're mostly not targeted the night after. You can also somewhat rely on people taking care of, or watching you if you did have to give your role out. So concentrate your effort on getting as much info as possible from the dead into your will.
And remember that there is nothing wrong with telling the dead who you are. There's nothing they can do with that info that'd get you into trouble and it'll help them better judge who is and who isnt evil.
Failing everything, if you're dead and the game looks to be over, you can use your ability for a little fun. Why not contact the Serial Killer at night and joke around with him? He might give up his evil ways for you if you ask nicely...
People do enjoy some company at night if they've been alone all game...
