| <ul><li>The Washerwoman is deceptively powerful. Even though you don't gain information on the evil players, you can confirm the identity of a good player. This player should be your focus for the game, because if they have great information, then you have that information too. If they have a useful ability that they choose to use, you can help them use it wisely.</li></ul> | | <ul><li>The Washerwoman is deceptively powerful.

| <ul><li>When the Washerwoman is poisoned or is actually the <a href="/Drunk" title=""><span data-role="You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Drunk</span></a>, they will often get information that is easy to figure out is incorrect—at least compared to other characters. While the <a href="/Chef" title=""><span data-role="You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Chef</span></a> has no clue as to whether their "1" is incorrect, if both of the players the Storyteller pointed at tell you they're a different character to the one the Storyteller showed you, it is likely that you are the <a href="/Drunk" title=""><span data-role="You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Drunk</span></a> or poisoned. You can use this information to your team's advantage: if you know you are the <a href="/Drunk" title=""><span data-role="You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Drunk</span></a>, you know nobody else is; if you think you were poisoned on the first night, nobody else could have been. Furthermore, if your information seems like it's correct, it probably is, because of how easy it is to tell when it's wrong.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>You know that of the two players you are shown, one must be the Townsfolk you are shown. Importantly, this means that you know that the person you see is not the <a href="/Drunk" title=""><span data-role="You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Drunk</span></a>.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>To find out which of the two players is the Townsfolk, either ask the group publicly or have a private conversation with each player individually. It is usually best to reveal what you know before the Townsfolk in question says who they are so they trust you more.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>If you share your information on the first day, and speak up quickly, the good team has some solid information to begin with. This is particularly useful if you confirm another information-receiving Townsfolk like the <a href="/Empath" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Empath</span></a> or the <a href="/Fortune_Teller" title=""><span data-role="Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Fortune Teller</span></a>.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Waiting until the final day - or at least very late in the game - to share your information with the group can also be very useful. If you can keep the Townsfolk that you know alive until the final day, then you know one player who is not the <a href="/Imp" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Imp</span></a>! This can either make the Demon player obvious to you, or at least reduce the possible Demon players down to 1 in 2 instead of 1 in 3.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Talk to the Townsfolk player that you know, and secretly let them know that you know who they are. This way, you can hopefully form an alliance, and can come to each other's defence if either of you are nominated for execution, whilst avoiding telling the group (and therefore the evil team) who the other is. This is particularly useful if you learn a character that the Demon really wants to attack, like the <a href="/Fortune_Teller" title=""><span data-role="Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Fortune Teller</span></a>, or even a character that the Demon wants to avoid attacking at all costs, like the <a href="/Ravenkeeper" title=""><span data-role="If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Ravenkeeper</span></a> or the <a href="/Soldier" title=""><span data-role="You are safe from the Demon." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Soldier</span></a>.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>After talking to the Townsfolk that you know in private, and confirming who they are, you can tell the group that they are a different character than they actually are. This strategy is useful if you want to protect a powerful Townsfolk from characters like the <a href="/Poisoner" title=""><span data-role="Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Poisoner</span></a>, or to trick evil players into attacking a Townsfolk that has already used their ability, such as the <a href="/Chef" title=""><span data-role="You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Chef</span></a>.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>You can claim to be a more powerful character than you actually are. You start with all the information you're going to get, so if the demon kills you, they aren't killing the <a href="/Slayer" title=""><span data-role="Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Slayer</span></a> or the <a href="/Fortune_Teller" title=""><span data-role="Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Fortune Teller</span></a>. You may also want to consider nominating a <a href="/Virgin" title=""><span data-role="The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Virgin</span></a>, and confirming yourself, the <a href="/Virgin" title=""><span data-role="The 1st time you are nominated, if the nominator is a Townsfolk, they are executed immediately." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Virgin</span></a>, and the Townsfolk you were shown all to be good.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Sometimes the Storyteller will point to evil players as possible Townsfolk to you. If you think this might be the case, don't say directly which Townsfolk you know to be in play. You might instead state a false Townsfolk character to try and trick evil players into admitting to being a character that you didn't learn, or you can tempt good players into revealing their Townsfolk character to you before you reveal what you know to them. This allows you to trust them more... but they may trust you less!</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>If the 'wrong' player the Storyteller pointed to is an evil player, telling them the Townsfolk you saw may alert the <a href="/Imp" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Imp</span></a> to the presence of the character you saw. If you saw the <a href="/Empath" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Empath</span></a>, for example, telling the Demon that may cause the <a href="/Empath" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Empath</span></a> to be killed in the night.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>The two of you can reveal your characters publicly to the group, without having a private conversation beforehand. This goes a long way towards proving publicly that you are both telling the truth.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Publicly reveal which character is in play, but not which player it is. This way, the evil team gets little information, but the Townsfolk in question will trust you, and will look more trustworthy when they reveal who they are to the group.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>You could claim to be the Washerwoman and point to a player you suspect is evil, stating that they are the Townsfolk you learned about. An opportunistic evil player may pounce on an opportunity to appear good, and claim that they are, in fact, the Townsfolk you learned about, thus outing them to you as, at the very least, a liar.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Beware of the <a href="/Spy" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Spy</span></a>! They may register as a Townsfolk character to you. That player who you think is the <a href="/Investigator" title=""><span data-role="You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Investigator</span></a> may not be the <a href="/Investigator" title=""><span data-role="You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Minion." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Investigator</span></a> after all...</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Remember that while the <a href="/Spy" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Spy</span></a> is likely to know that you've seen them as a Townsfolk, they won't know which Townsfolk you've seen them as.</li></ul>

You will have been shown two players and one Townsfolk token.</li></ul></div> |
| <ul><li>Claim to be the Washerwoman and point to at least one evil player. Then, name the Townsfolk character (preferably one that you suspect/know is not in play). If that evil player is clever, they may realize that you are trying to make them look good, and claim to be that Townsfolk. For example, if you point to the <a href="/Imp" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Imp</span></a> and a random good player, and say that one of them is the <a href="/Monk" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Monk</span></a>, then the <a href="/Imp" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Imp</span></a> may claim to be the <a href="/Monk" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Monk</span></a>, which makes you both look good.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>If a good player claims to be a particular Townsfolk character, you can claim to be the <a class="mw-selflink selflink" title=""><span data-role="You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Washerwoman</span></a>, and confirm that they are who they say they are. This can help them to trust you, and lead them astray with their own information.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>Immediately upon awakening, tell the group that a particular Townsfolk is in play. Cross your fingers and hope that you are correct! If you are, great. If not, an evil player may bluff as the Townsfolk you claimed is in play.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>The Washerwoman can be a difficult bluff, because sometimes the Townsfolk you say is in play, isn't. If this happens, you can always claim to be the <a href="/Drunk" title=""><span data-role="You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Drunk</span></a> or poisoned. Another option is to claim that Washerwoman was a bluff, and that you are actually a character that is more powerful later in the game such as a <a href="/Slayer" title=""><span data-role="Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Slayer</span></a> or an <a href="/Undertaker" title=""><span data-role="Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today." style="font-weight: bold; color:#3297F4;">Undertaker</span></a>, and that you were trying to look like a character that has already used their ability so that the Demon would not attack you.</li></ul>
| |
| <ul><li>If you are the <a href="/Spy" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Spy</span></a> or have access to a <a href="/Spy" title=""><span data-role="Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead." style="font-weight: bold; color:#8C0E12;">Spy</span></a>, they can be invaluable in providing you accurate information to back up your story.</li></ul>
