Politician

· 65 points

Vote counts twice during the day.
Every 2 days, randomly becomes village or mafia.
Each change is independent, so politicians have an equal chance of remaining sided with their current alignment and of changing sides.

[edit] Abilities

The Politician's vote counts twice, making his vote very decisive in determining who wins, especially later on in the game.

Politician's alignment changes over the course of the game.

If a politician is town-sided, they will get at night the following message:

You feel particularly aligned with the village.

If a politician is mafia-sided, they will get this message at night instead:

You feel particularly aligned with the mafia.

Plan ahead. Your side could change on Night 3, so be prepared for that possibility.
If you think your side will win, you may want to consider finding a way to get killed before your alignment changes. When mafia sided, fake claiming and leading a mislynch day one is particularly effective, as your lynch/death by vig is probable...and if you survive, the mafia has probably contacted you by then, allowing you to out them. Or as an (initially) town-sided politician, you can also get night killed by subtly claiming a power role.
Work with other politicians, even if you start on different sides. Tell the side you both plan on winning with about the idea, and have the appropriate politicians killed before they switch. Together, you control a sizable voting block.
To confirm that a player is, indeed, the politician and not a mafia hiding behind a claim wall, vote in such a way that a normal vote would lynch that player. A politician's vote would force an nl, whereas the scum would die.
If you are mafia-sided, do not claim to be aligned with the village. This will only get you killed to prevent you from changing sides, probably by the vig, and will not let you use your powers to their full potential...though on the other hand, if you can confuse the town enough that the mafia will probably win, you've little to lose from death.
