Real talk though - try to solve the game as though you were a VT, and just go from there. I do not know your normal playstyle, so I can't really provide you with any advice tailored towards looking like yourself, but honestly, given that this is a team mafia game - you have more leeway than normal for *not* looking like yourself. It's expected that you're being coached to some extent, regardless of your alignment, so as long as you're actively(or inactively, whatever your normal posting frequency may be) engaging, and following trajectories in your reasoning and suspicions that do not appear forced/trigger off of real events and connections, you should be fine.
So I had vague hopes of rolling Mario as my role, because I have previously rolled the "main character" role in a few different games, which would be some decent grounds for crumbing that flavor claim early game - so I guess this will work that as well? Not entirely sure I can spin the role itself, however, as being "Mario" - so that might take some work. There are some fair late game plays with bussing+a rolecop claim, but I'd prefer we just get 4 clean town lynches and sail through without having to do anything quite so desperate.
still need to answer the question and avoid fluff for the moment(give wgeurts the reward they want for the pressure they're putting you under) but you might be safe to do that alone and weigh options from there.
