To increase your odds of winning (or to find the mechanically correct play), it's a good idea to start by laying out your options. At the start of every game day, ask yourself what would happen if each of the roles claimed. How many investigative results can you expect? Can you infer what the results would be by the fact that they haven't already claimed? How many more results can they expect to get before being nk'd, and is one more result worth risking all their existing results? Is it advantageous to sleep (no-tk)? If you have a night kill, should you use it? Is there any way to force mafia to counterclaim into a 50/50?
If someone else comes up with a solve, try to poke holes in it. If you follow the solve, is there a course the mafia can take to subvert it? What happens if one of the claimants is mafia? Try to understand how and why the solve works. I think that a lot of solves are game-specific, so it's difficult to give general tips on how to approach game-solving, but I hope the above helps.
can you dm the link on discord or here?
