A few days ago, I posted about how I was having a lot of fun playing Town of Salem. I posted screenshots of winning my first games as jester and serial killer, and today I have one of my first victory as executioner.

That screenshot is taken at the end of the game, when I was one of the last men standing with the serial killer and godfather.
Although both the mafia and serial killer helped me lynch my target, I decided to side with the serial killer because she was the one who had a more significant vote during the final lynch.
As executioner, if your target does not die during the night and you successfully convince the town to lynch him, you will remain as a victorious executioner, maintaining your night immunity.
On top of that, once your target is lynched, it usually doesn’t really matter if you tell them that you’re the executioner, seeing as you’ve already won the game (and you keep your victory, even if the town decides to lynch you). The only reason you wouldn’t want to tell the town your true identity is if you’re secretly trying to side with someone, or if you just want to troll the players.
This puts you in a position of extreme power, and makes winning with executioner extremely satisfying. Earning your victory basically puts you above everyone else, and in return for your efforts, you basically get like a “cheat code” activation for the rest of the game.
I also have a screenshot of a later game, where I managed to get my target lynched on the second day, and earned an achievement:

The strategy I used for that game is claiming that I was the lookout. I capitalized on Troll and Spence’s deaths. Spence’s will said that he had visited Troll, who had died to the serial killer. I stated, “I think that lame duckface is the serial killer, because Spence and lame duckface visited Troll last night.”
Luckily for me, lame duckface wasn’t that great in his defense, so it made it a lot easier for me. He seemed more confused than anything as to why the town was lynching him when he hadn’t done anything so far – it’s possible that he missed me calling him out.
Although Town of Salem isn’t as high-action and high-intensity as some other games I play, it’s a good game to relax with, and I will most likely continue hopping on once a day to get my win of the day and have fun tricking other people in-game.
