Forcing NL to stop Governor from overturning

Governor, can't OT, if NL is forced. So town needs to be aware of this. And mafia needs to take advantage when they have the chance.

Killing PRs night1

If you manage to pick all your mafia meetings before the 9-12 second mark and then unvote and the night has not ended, then you can get some information about who might be a PR. Then you will not be taking a guess, but rather an informed decision.

Coded claims

Develop your own codes in games such that they can be decoded only by you or the person you intend to send the information too. Codes are always handy. You can use it to claim later in the game. Your code should not be such that they are picked up by others and used against you. Use new codes.

Half claims (someone can give a better phrase)

Sometimes, you can claim in a way that most people think you are unccd, because the actual cop/oracle didn't know you claimed and might let you lead because he is too ignorant to understand why someone is hammering.

Pseudo slips

Many times, players say something that can be marked as a slip. If you believe that person is not on your team, then you have to put it forth as a slip. For example, if a town implies that they have mislynch, when it is known that there may or may not be a mislynch, then you need to take advantage of the situation.

Lynch on mylo if there is a gunsmith

Know when to not out your cop report

Know when to claim your role

Sometimes, mafia may try to keep you from claiming your role as doctor/gunsmith, so that they can counter claim you later to avoid autoloss.

Mafia meeting codes

If you need to out a stalk code or a read during the day when you are getting lynched, you can use a code that you have set up in the mafia meeting.

If there are a lot of noobs in the table you can claim PR to hammer(doesn't matter what your alignment is), no one's gonna ask you to hardclaim

Becomeclear

Pretend you're the boss even when you're not (this often makes people trust you more and you often get reactions from players that you can easily pin to alignment)

Cody

If a player indicates that he wanted the game to veg before either side had an advantage, I typically see it as reflecting a mafia mindset. This is because it takes more effort to blend in as mafia and fake a genuine town thought process than to just be town. The cognitive dissonance generated by faking your game builds up psychological stress that sometimes "slips" out in the form of wanting the game to veg.

no matter who died n1 say you would never n1 said person and metaclear yourself

(this puts a subconscious thought in other user's mind. If not everybody, then at least one of them may stick to it and it might be useful later in the game. However, if you repeat this with the same people, it will be useuless)

Rydia

become a formidable player by doing the following:

1) Ignore all questions 2) Pretend nobody is currently voting for you 3) When ccing as mafia pretend the cop isn't speaking 4) talk about the weather and/or food you have recently eaten 5) lynch the one who brings up old sh*t 6) those who find scumslips in everything are probably scum themselves 7) lynch anybody who uses the acronym "OMGUS" on principle 8) try to forget who your mafia partner(s) are as soon as day 1 happens 9) do not do what anybody tells you to do 10) and do not unvote if somebody demands you do so if it is not kicktime

Examples

I request others to share examples of the listed tricks/strategies and to add new tricks with examples as well.

I believe

That you can play the game even without using these tricks, but it doesn't hurt to have aces with you. Sometimes, you may be overdoing it or putting yourself in a bad situation by using these tricks when not required. If you are in a good situation already, just take advantage of it.
