I had an interesting fail as Jester in a Coven Ranked Practice game yesterday. I'm sure some have heard the joke that "Jester is the best investigative role," since when they try to fake claim someone is Mafia or Coven or NK to get town to turn on them, they sometimes end up being right and becoming "confirmed." Well how about being confirmed town as Doctor in a Coven game with a Poisoner? This is where I found myself yesterday.

The minute I saw Poisoner was one of the RC on D2, I was set on trying to claim Doctor if there wasn't an actual Doctor to counter my claim, and just failing at healing the Poisoner's targets to get myself lynched. The only problem was the first person poisoned was an Escort who role blocked me that night (as I still hadn't claimed at this point) and had me in their will. There was no real Doctor though, so I still had hope; I'll just fail at the next one and get lynched then, right? Nope, the BG got the Poisoner that same night. So now I'm trying to think that I'll still claim Doctor but just fail to heal anyone else the whole game and that should be enough, especially if I was supposed to be on Jailor (who had not revealed, but I was hoping he would at some point). But nope again, by the time I got pushed up on and was defending myself, I somehow became confirmed just because of the whole Escort deal. Meanwhile, town is crushing Coven with only the other RC left, and the NK still hasn't made an appearance, so we are susp of two other BG claims thinking one of them must be Arso. Turns out that one is an RT BG and the other was Hex Master. Once the HM was down, the game was over with a win for town. What did happen to the NK, you ask? He was indeed an Arso and the sole Medusa stone that whole game back on N2.

I still can't get over how crazy that was, especially because I keep thinking "Man, if I had been anything evil but the NE that game, I probably would have had that in the bag." It feels like a waste to be so confirmed as town while actually being a Jester. Now watch it never happen again when it would actually be useful.
