Politician

The Politician is a role in the Town of Salem Card Game.



Mechanics

 * The Politician has no special abilities during the night whatsoever which makes him the same as a regular townie. One drawback to this role is that he appears to be evil to the sheriff, which can be a tricky problem for the Town to handle.

Strategies

 * As the Politician, you can reveal your role early in the game to avoid suspicion. The politician role can be insignificant in terms of night actions compared to the Sheriff and various other Town roles so you wouldn't have to worry about the evildoers killing you.
 * If you only claim when the Sheriff has found you as evil, this can be very risky as the Townies might not be convinced. Instead, they might think you're an evildoer caught in the act and can only come up with a weak excuse.
