Abilities
- Can send anonymous messages to Mafia-sided and third-party roles. These are not whispers and therefore cannot leak.
Strategies and Tactics
- If there is a Spy, send messages to the Fool, Killer, Warlock, or anyone else that can joint-win with the Mafia. Pretend to be Mafia when sending messages to these players. Be convincing and get into the character of the Spy. Don't say too much; the Spy doesn't need to say too much, so you shouldn't either. Confuse them by giving them two equally reasonable options. You can also confirm the innocence of some third-party roles, such as the Survivor, that are not always antitown.
- Advanced strategy: Fake-claim as a Spy to the Killer, so as to expose the Killer.
- Advanced strategy: In a game with a cult/yak where the town seems to be on the short side of things, offer your vote in exchange for conversion. To confirm that you are, in fact, the agent, you may give the cult/mafia a code word to identify yourself with and use it in public. Or, in a game where the town and mafia will probably lose, try to work with the spy to get culted. The spy can orchestrate cult-kills, and in a game without vigilantes or masons you're virtually guaranteed a swift victory. Though alternatively, you could propose the same conversion deal, unvote at the last second, and based on votes figure out who's in the cult/mafia...you have a few possibilities here, assess your chances of winning with each and then act.
- Advanced strategy: Try casually talking to the spy in the middle of a moderately active discussion. Jokingly ask who the mafia will kill, who they are, and so on-their answer, even if it isn't serious, is more useful than you'd believe. If you receive a spy message right before/after someone says something in the room, that person is cleared and you should tell the confirmed town PR's. This is most believable in cult games, where you're both looking to kill the leader because you could easily wind up on the losing team.
- Note: Spamming is very annoying and will probably get you killed easily and people might take your karma away. Beware.
History
- Originally the Agent was able to see every whisper in the game. It was proposed to balance out Spy's unbalancing the mafia. When the Agent was created, all setups were still required to have whispers in them. Both Agent and Spy were quickly retooled largely after requests were sent to lucidrains.
