What I learned from playing "Town of Salem" was that the person who talks the most and tries too hard to sound convincing, is actually the person who is lying. To provide context for those who don't play the game, it is a role-playing and strategy game like Mafia, in which the villagers in the town of Salem go to sleep every night, while those on the evil team, which may be one of the four Mafia roles in the game, or the solo evil role, which may be a werewolf, a serial killer, or an arsonist, go out to kill one or more of the villagers according to the abilities of their role. Some villagers have special abilities which they can perform by staying awake during the night phase. During the day phase, the players discuss among themselves and attempt to eliminate the evils by lynching. The evils must use deceit and lying to cover up their roles and pretend to be normal villagers. If all the evils are successfully lynched, the villagers' team wins. If the evils survive up to the point that there are no villagers or opposing evils' factions (such as werewolf vs. mafia) left, the surviving evil team wins.
