Overview
The Jester is a neutral role with no active abilities; the Jester only wins if they are lynched during the day.
Strategies
- The general strategy of the Jester is trying to seem as suspicious as possible whilst not seeming overly suspicious and being outed as a Jester
- Feigning a Sheriff or Investigator is a very viable strategy, with the ability to bring distrust onto oneself as well as being to have a Doctor heal them at night to ensure that death comes from a lynch.
- A Jester's main arsenal comes from vocabulary manipulation, simply spamming reveals oneself as a Jester so in order to seem truly suspicious one must act like they are trying not to seem suspicious.
- Faking being blackmailed during the day can help assure that Mafia will not target you at night, with the logic being that Mafia would obviously ignore killing someone who purposely fakes being blackmailed. This also risks your role being revealed to the mafia, in which case loses three -- or more, or even less -- voters who could get you lynched. That said, faking being BM'd the whole game can lead to town eventually lynching you off, assuming you're either an evil role, or mafia, trying to elude giving out a fake claim for a role.
Options
- Kills a random guilty voter - (Default: On)
Notes
- The Jester wins by being lynched but isn't rewarded any points until the game is over
- The Jester earns more points by being lynched later on in the game
- Along with the Mason, Mayor, Executioner, and Spy the Jester is one of five roles with no active night ability
- Trolling can be a viable strategy when playing as the Jester.
