Strategy Guide

Playing As

Speak privately to the two players you were shown; offer them a choice of three characters (one being the true one) to verify their identity without giving away your information to an evil player.
Establish a chain of trust by confirming a powerful information role like the Empath, Undertaker, or Fortune Teller, making their information much more valuable to the town.
Consider protecting the player you confirmed by lying to the group about their identity or bluffing as a high-priority target yourself to draw the Demon's attacks.
If both players deny being the Townsfolk you saw, consider that you might be the Drunk, poisoned, or that one of them is the Spy.
You can nominate the Virgin to confirm yourself, the Virgin, and the Townsfolk you saw all at once, proving three players are good.

Playing Against

If you are the Spy, you might register as the Townsfolk the Washerwoman sees; play along to infiltrate the good team's trust chain.
As the Imp, try to identify who the Washerwoman has confirmed; that player is likely a powerful Townsfolk who should be killed immediately.
If bluffing as the Washerwoman, confirm a fellow evil player as a Townsfolk to build false trust, or point to a good player and an evil player to confuse the good team.
Discredit a Washerwoman's information by suggesting they are the Drunk or were poisoned by a Poisoner on the first night.
Be careful bluffing as a specific Townsfolk if a Washerwoman is in play, as they may have information contradicting your claim.
