this does not fix the issue with jester and actually makes it WORSE

wise anvil
#

Why do you need to have more of an effect on the game when you are dead?

#

Changing people's alignment is a whole Neutral Special

ornate dock
#

this adds more jesters

#

I think the current prevailing opinion about Jester is that Jester is a role is bad

#

Not in the it's hard to win

ornate dock
#

its win condition is detrimental to the game

stiff plaza
#

in that it forces town to make a decision on every evil player

If I'm correct with the wording, For every Jester hung every following Night a Random player becomes Jester, So Jester is a virus that takes over town???

jester existing makes the game worse.

Like

#

you survived the haunt

#

good job

#

but you lost

#

i had a whole rant about jester but i didn't post it in this server

copper condor
#

ok this is funny

#

so now assumming 2 Jester are hung

wise anvil
unique sigil
copper condor
#

5 players left and no one kills

wise anvil
#

How does Town get rid of a Jester?

unique sigil
#

Tk???

copper condor
#

4 players will become Jesters and the last 1 will win by random

wise anvil
#

the TK that died?

ornate dock
#

the veteran? the trickster?

unique sigil
#

There can be more than 1 tk

wise anvil

^

ornate dock
#

or maybe the prosecutor and monarch!

copper condor
#

Towns should hang Jester

ornate dock
#

yeah, that marshal's doing some good work, removing the jester and dying in the process

copper condor
#

cause Jester now converts Coven into Jester

unique sigil

LOL

ornate dock
#

and also, sometimes TKs don't want to kill jesters!

wise anvil
#

good pig sweep

ornate dock
#

there are typically bigger priorities

#

a jailor shouldn't be ignoring coven to go after jesters

wise anvil
#

Coven AND Jackal are running around

#

Jester doesn't spawn in ApocTT

unique sigil
#

Then ignore jest

#

What're they gonna do?

wise anvil
#

Okay

#

but every evil

ornate dock
wise anvil
#

is pretending to be a Jester now

#

because this is so borked it's funny

unique sigil
copper condor
#

Jester claims only really work in AA

wise anvil
ornate dock
copper condor
#

As I said Town should hang a Jester

ornate dock
#

also coven can pass the necronomicon so the sheriff is a moot point

unique sigil
copper condor
#

This Jester should claim D2, Town Should hang them and them hang more Jesters

unique sigil
#

Could potentially also have Jester appear as inno in all TI checks, since jester ingame is just a guy that fucks around

#

im open to suggestions

ornate dock
#

by the time coven has majority, you know who they are

unique sigil
ornate dock
#

there is only one solution that fixes the problems jester brings to the game, and that is to pull the plug. however, that's not an option because "my silly haha role" so we're forced to deliberate on a "next best thing" solution instead.

copper condor
#

Also the this is town Should hang Jester cause town will statistaclly win, but only 1 or 2 Town will win because hte rest become Jester

Pirate went from my favorite role to my favorite role

#

TOWN MUST hang all Jester claims or they cant win

ornate dock
#

these cannot be compared in good faith, because what jester brings to the game is unhealthy. it discourages scumreading and social deduction, and makes players rely entirely on mechanical checks, and when you're making a social deduction game that's not exactly great.

somber breach
#

Make Jester Chatterbox have a minimum of 34 Antics

gusty light
#

is this jester vampire

unique sigil
#

There are ways to scumread someone as jester

gusty light
#

sob

copper condor
#

I disagree slightly, Jester works really well in some SD games like Among us but can't work in TOS envornment

yes but a jesters not gonna whisper a confirmed PM 3 times in one day consistently

#

Also, Jesters will struggle to have a pattern in their poor voting since they don't actually know all the evils in the game

ornate dock
#

a jester will do anything it takes to appear evil. so a player who is evil and outed will do anything to appear like a shitty jester who's trying too hard. if you actually didn't hang players who seemed like jesters, nothing would get done.

copper condor
wise anvil
#

They can win if they trade it

copper condor
#

hmm

wise anvil
#

you can do a deal

#

it's possible

copper condor
#

yah

unique sigil
#

Another reason why evils might hurt jesters

gusty light
copper condor
#

but as I've said Town Should hang like 2 Jesters each game to have the highest chance of winning

gusty light
#

its you must kill the jester or you have them threatening to collapse the entire scumteam

ornate dock
#

hanging a jester is wasting a trial, so an evil killing a known jester instead of letting them get hanged is actively sabotaging their own win condition

unique sigil
#

Unless there's a risk of jester hurting that evil

#

which, there always is in both versions

copper condor
#

No every day someone new becomes a Jester at some point only one person will not be Jester and this person is statistically likly to be town

unique sigil
#

Again, I'm open to suggestions, but im hearing a lot more critics instead of those

copper condor
#

Make it once

#

Jester Haunts a Guilty Voter and turns them into a Jester

unique sigil
copper condor
#

after a Jester is hung i really dont need them to keep playing

unique sigil
#

there's no need, but an option is what i was aiming for

copper condor
#

theve won they can gloat root on other NEs or just leave

frozen lava
#

Omg what

#

This makes people jester

#

👎

copper condor
#

every day after they are hung

frozen lava
#

Why would anyone think more jesters is fun

frozen lava
unique sigil
copper condor
#

For every Jester hung, every night that many new players become Jester

unique sigil
#

no more "give jesters free win" nonsense

frozen lava
copper condor
#

TOWN SHOULD HANG JESTERS

unique sigil
#

like how a jester would be?

frozen lava
unique sigil
#

Good Pig made an argument that statistically town should hang jesters as less evils need to be haunted for town to win than town to be haunted for evils

frozen lava
#

We don't want jester becoming a plague given to others

#

Thats just bad design

unique sigil
copper condor
#

but...

#

Town wins

unique sigil
copper condor
#

(statistically)

frozen lava
copper condor
#

Jester can never work in TOS2

frozen lava
#

It could

stiff plaza
copper condor
#

so Just remove Haunt and be done with it

frozen lava
#

But this is the worst way to go with it

#

💀

#

I really think this is a bait

unique sigil

#

Good pig u do baits how good is this bait

copper condor

Solo winning game ending Jester is better than this

Thats just going to be a hell i dont want to see

unique sigil
#

I forgot to mention i intended for jester to also be unique but im unsure if that drastically affects the fake claiming scenario

copper condor
#

This ruins the game after a Jester gets hung, and you cant convert factional evils which ruins the point

Why the fuck are we making it better

it needs to be gone or changed

what you guys are saying doesnt work

I'd just rather jester without haunt if we must have it in the game

humble dome

its better to lessen it

yah its a just an evil that town needs to hang at some point

Jester with no punishment is just survivor

Maybe Jester only wins if they get 80% votes or smth

we dont need surv 2.0

This post has sparked good discussion anyways so i'll be deleting it soon

Remove haunt, jester must receive over x% of votes to win

Make it so you can accuse someone of being jester with a separate vote from normal lynching. If you are wrong jester wins everyone else loses and the game ends. Jester also wins if you just lynch him normally ending the game with everyone else losing. Then you make jester neutral special.

humble dome

Just keep normal jester
