Jester

Before the miracles of modern medicine, mentally ill people lived among the normal people but were shunned by society. The Jester suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and untreated, hallucinations and delusions have taken over leading him to believe people are out to get him. Because of his delusions and conspiracy theories, he may vote against the revealed mayor, pretend to be someone he's not, imagine seeing someone where they weren't, or just act totally insane in social situations. At this stage, he is not afraid of death. In fact, ending his suffering is more appealing than living in fear, but he wants to die on his own terms.

Strategy
- A strategy that mostly works: Ask someone to help you get lynched and tell them you were jester and if the town doesn't suspect you by whispering tell them to say that they tricked you and that you are a killing role and you will get hanged or hanged by suspicion. Earn their trust and say you wont kill them.

- Claim to be a doctor. Say you have been attacked TWICE, but you used self heal. Than clame angrily that doctor can heal two attacks with self heal if they suspect you. Works good.

- This is pretty obvious, but it worked for me. Ask what the bloody note is by your will.

- Investigator Strategy: Accusing a known Town Investigative role is a quick way to get hanged. Most people will listen to the Investigator's word over yours and you will be lynched.

- Quiet Strategy: Stay completely silent. When asked to speak or tell your role say nothing and eventually you will be accused of being suspicious. You can also say a town role that is already dead so they think you are lying to stay alive.

- Strategy that doesn't work: Acting crazy and saying wild comments over the chat or voting random people makes you look very obvious as a Jester. More than likely, you will be killed the next night and the killer will be thanked by the Town.

- Strategy that sometimes works: Say someone is bad and tell them you're an Investigator or Sheriff, when those two roles are dead and another not possible.

When you are victorious in your goal, make sure you choose wisely on who you wish to commit suicide. Revenge against the people who lynched you is an obvious choice but the Jester's power of inducing suicide can be a very valuable power. You can choose to kill night immune targets such as Godfathers or Serial Killers; it all depends on who you want to win.

- If there is a transporter, they can "transport" guilt to any alive player. This is useful for taking out the hidden threats who abstain during voting.

- This is not a strategy, but it should be noted that you must use your power, causing death by guilt, the very next night after being lynched or it will be picked for you at random.

- Possible strategy: Claim someone is immune and accuse them. People will wonder how you "knew" they were immune and lynch you.

- Strategy that usually works: Get people to become slightly suspicious of you, then say something along the lines of: "Guys please don't lynch I am townie but I cannot tell you specific but I am townie please don't lynch." They will get more suspicious and ultimately lynch you.

- Strategy for other players: If you don't want to be haunted by Jester, you can wait until everyone knows this person is Jester, then vote innocent. Jester can't kill innocent voters. - A strategy I just used that worked amazingly well for no reason: If someone leaves early on, accuse someone of visiting them, and that you are a role, or something - acting like they died BECAUSE of someone. People instantly get angry at you for not understanding the game - you get lynched, and get your revenge! :)

- Strategy: Claim you're skype chatting a dead person... People don't care for that. It's all or nothing though as you'll probably be murdered at night if you don't get hung after saying it.

- In games where you were an Executioner BEFORE your initial target was killed in the night: Claim that a player of unknown role is night-immune. When asked for role or at least evidence, give a brash and/or salty and/or vague response that matches the grammar and style of the Serial Killer's previous Death Notes. Bonus points if the Death Notes have even the slightest relation to your town-name and you choose your answers based on that. Adamantly deny or affirm your guilt based on how gullible/desperate you believe the other players to be. This will cast great suspicion on you - if you had been attacked before becoming a Jester and someone makes a claim that you are night-immune (whether in chat, Will, Death Note, or possibly even whisper if you can correctly guess the contents of a highly-suspicious one!), this will almost always result in you getting lynched.

- Another strategy that can work is the following: First claim that you are an investigator and claim that someone is a "Mayor/Godfather." More often than not then can not reveal and they will get hung, Then claim that you are an Executioner so you won't be targeted at night, unless you're playing with people who don't know how Executioner works. Sometimes the town will hang you out of spite or because you were being susupcious. Another scenario is that there are only three people left, and the mafia might vote you, don't vote and both people may vote you eventually and you will get hung. You can also make the game end in a draw if this scenario occurs.

- A good strategy is to whisper someone in mid game, but put in the whisper wrong so everyone can see it. They will all immediately suspect you and possibly hang you.

- If there is a confirmed Town Role, such as Investigator or Jailor, you can try to get them lynched, and vote guilty. If you aren't killed at night, then you will be lynched due to the suspicion. However, it is very risky, since you have a high chance of being killed at night.

- Fairly Good Strategy: This doesn't always work, but when they are hanging a known mafia member, (E.G: A known sheriff says they're mafia, known investigator says that they're framer or something.) vote innocent so people might suspect you're also mafia.

- Strategy: This doesn't always work, but I saw one time it was near the end of the round, and there was only one "baddie" left (Or even if there's one town you could do this), and someone said something like, "Alright, there's no point in just prolonging the game. I'm ." And they lynched him, and he ended up being jester. This might not always work if they already know who the last person is; but if not, it's worth a shot.
