	* If there is no Xaan in play, bluff as an Outsider to make it look like there is a living Xaan. Evil team coordination goes a long way here - evil players who are bluffing as Townsfolk should give incorrect information on night 2 or night 3 to make good players believe there is a Xaan in play and back up the Outsider bluff!		* If there is no Xaan in play, bluff as an Outsider to make it look like there is a living Xaan. Evil team coordination goes a long way here - evil players who are bluffing as Townsfolk should give incorrect information on night 2 or night 3 to make good players believe there is a Xaan in play and back up the Outsider bluff!

	* If there is a Xaan in play, discredit some of the Outsiders. If 3 good players are claiming to be Outsiders, claim to be the Investigator who has seen one of the Outsiders as the Poisoner. Or, claim to be a Village Idiot who has learned that one or two of the Outsiders are evil. The more that the good Outsiders appear to be evil, the harder it will be for the town to identify that a Xaan is in play.		* If there is a Xaan in play, discredit some of the Outsiders.

The more that the good Outsiders appear to be evil, the harder it will be for the town to identify that a Xaan is in play.

	* Solve for X! (This is totally what your teachers meant when they said that mathematics matters in the real world.) Seriously, though - identify how many Outsiders are in play! If you can figure out how many Outsiders there are in the game, you’ll know when night X starts, and you & your evil teammates can bluff poisoned information accordingly.		* Solve for X!

	* As evil players, bluff characters that receive lots of information, especially information that is usually difficult to bluff. Claiming to be a Dreamer, a Cannibal, or a Washerwoman is much more believable with the Xaan on the script. Receiving poisoned information is much less suspicious when good players are expecting at least one night where all Townsfolk are poisoned.		* As evil players, bluff characters that receive lots of information, especially information that is usually difficult to bluff.

	* Be wary of bluffing true or healthy information, or bluffing that you know it can’t be a Xaan night or day because your ability “worked”. It’s much easier to claim that you were poisoned on a night when other players were sober, than it is to bluff that you were sober on a night when every Townsfolk was poisoned!		* Be wary of bluffing true or healthy information, or bluffing that you know it can’t be a Xaan night or day because your ability “worked”.

	* Figure out if the Xaan is in play! It often helps to identify which Minions the town is up against, and the Xaan is no exception. When you know there is no Xaan in play, for example,

	* Look for information that confirms players who are claiming to be good Outsiders, because this can help the town figure out how many Outsiders are telling the truth about their character.		* Look for information that confirms players who are claiming to be good Outsiders, because this can help the town figure out how many Outsiders are telling the truth about their character.
