The Medium

Good

Bridge between living and dead, investigating the karma of eliminated players for village intelligence.

Posthumous Investigation

Spiritual Power

Posthumous Investigation

Each night phase, you may choose one eliminated (dead) player to investigate. Your spiritual connection reveals their true alignment: either 'Village' (innocent villager or village role) or 'Wolf' (werewolf or wolf-aligned role). This posthumous investigation provides valuable information about pack composition and can help identify remaining wolves. The communication with spirits is private to you and occurs silently.

Best Practices

Investigate Controversial Eliminations

Focus on players whose eliminations were heavily debated or seemed suspicious. This information can reveal wolf voting patterns and manipulation tactics.

Track Pack Size

Use your investigations to determine how many wolves have been eliminated versus how many likely remain. This helps village estimate remaining threats.

Share Information Strategically

Reveal investigation results to build trust and guide village voting. Use confirmed village results to establish credibility before sharing wolf discoveries.

Pattern Analysis

Look for patterns in who defended eliminated wolves or voted against eliminated villagers. This helps identify remaining pack members.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Investigating Obviously Innocent Players

Don't waste investigations on players who were clearly villagers. Focus on questionable or controversial eliminations where alignment confirmation provides value.

Holding Information Too Long

Share investigation results promptly when they can influence village decisions. Dead wolves can't hurt the village, but living ones can.

Revealing Role Without Evidence

Don't claim to be Medium without investigation results to back up your claim. Provide evidence of your ability through shared knowledge.

Ignoring Recent Eliminations

Don't only investigate old eliminations. Recent deaths often provide the most relevant information for current decisions.
