Core Priorities & Essentials
- As innocent, keep moving and watch who's trailing players or acting oddly.
- As sheriff, hold your shot until you're confident — killing an innocent loses.
- As murderer, blend in and avoid bee-lining for victims.
- Spend rewards on cosmetic knives/guns; they don't change the rules.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕As sheriff, firing on a hunch and eliminating an innocent.
- ✕As murderer, being too obvious and getting shot early.
