Medium in 2 Minutes | Town of Salem Quick Guides

I promise medium isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. And if nothing else, you can seance the jailor to yell at them for exing you!

One thing I like to do as Town when there is a Medium is to just have random conversations with them, and they can use it as dead chat, or initiate a random conversation when I am Medium so I have something to post. Absolutely nobody spends 37 seconds to say "med?" and "just you [#]", which is probably the most common fake Medium dead chat there is, so it is a nice way to give Mediums some credibility :)

[Talguy]

Remember- when you die as Medium, immediately seance the most suspicious person possible to assert dominance. You get bonus points if they're the one that killed you, so shoot for the stars!

Medium in a nutshell:

*Night 1*
*You were attacked but someone fought off your attacker!*
*You were attacked but someone fought off your attacker!*
*You were attacked by a member of the Mafia!*
*You have died!*

I've actually always liked medium as a role, though I can see how players might get frustrated by it. But when it works, it works and usually blindsides evils from what I've seen.

Quick tip: Try not to seance the jailor if there are any alternatives, because the jailor has to talk to the person they jailed as well as the medium, and it gets confusing.

[tegdig]

I understand saying you should claim med d1 when you get the role to stop players from leaving, but playing a silent medium has worked out pretty well for me before.

Being silent even in dead chat so that nobody knows a med exists leads to evils often leaking information to other dead players thinking they're just watching the rest of the game from the sidelines. Town often doesn't believe you when you give a definitive list of the remaining mafia and the witch, but letting them lynch you to confirm gets all evils outed at once, with a seance left in case you somehow need to help town out even more.

The 1 fix idea i had for medium is to have a message to players when they dielike "you died to blahhh 'but you feel a presence listening' " as this would make they slightly more comfortable staying

[a.t.fa.t.f]

All I'm saying is, when theres 3 dead mediums and a Pirate, you are all obligated to pick a different option and seance the pirate telling them to pick a DIFFERENT option. Just make them REAL confused about whats happening.

[AnotherDuck]

What do you mean it's a bad idea to seance a Medium? You double down on the dead chat for extra redundancy, which means extra safety and confirmability!

[Icedonot]

Something I want to add, if someone is breaking tos rules, dont copy and paste there dead chat into alive chat, I have seen 5+ different mediums do this (1 was my friend and they got a ban) idk why I have to say this, but, just dont…

[davidskep]

I like playing classic and usually as a medium I sit and watch and try to read who the evils are, but if noone starts leading then I'll start pushing people for roles as MEDIUM. I kid you not I've been listened to more as medium while pushing people than as jailor.

[fangjustice]

My favorite part of being medium is tauntng evils into attacking me.

[JudeTheAutomaton]

The first time I play medium I didn't know how the game worked and was thrown into the deep end by a friend. The funny part was I thought I would only be able to speak once to a living player while also being living.

quote from ability card (You may only speak to a living person once.)

so I was silent all game and got lynched when I acted bmd and only said one line about being a medium.

Finally, another upload! I hope you can upload more often cuz I love the content lol

[Khak]

Also i feel like as a dead med whos going to seance, try not to pick someone who's likely to get killed next. Yeah its hard to tell sometimes, but it really sucks when u seance someone and they die right after without updating their will in time

[GoingToAFuneral]

One time I offered this head mafioso 3 dollars if he told me who the rest of the mafia was and the madlad actually did it
I just told everyone I was getting a “bad vibe” from those players cause I didn’t wanna out the mafioso as a gamethrower

This is NOT the first time the captions messed up ridiculously.

[Khak]

A dead medium actually got sk out for me. I died as vigi but made the last second decision to shoot someone, they showed as immune, but i didnt even have enough time to write in my will that I was going to shoot them. Medium came in clutch there by seancing a town with that info and making the game way simpler and easier.

[lknight]

One thing that blows my mind, are the mediums that don’t copy paste the dead chat they are given (ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A WILL CALLING OUT AN EVIL, like oh yea “6 said 5 is sus” like why didn’t they copy their will)
