Executioner and Jester are independent, it is more difficult to determine if they were actually gamethrowing. Basically, there are two possibilities here:
 * 1) Gamethrowing: The Jester was not trying to win, but only wanted to help the Town.
 * 2) Strategy: The Jester wanted to help the Town. Once there is only one confirmed Mafia/NK left, the Jester can be lynched without Town losses - the confirmed Mafia/NK can be executed at night and the game ends.
 * 3) The Jester can ask the Town to lynch them, or
 * 4) The Jester can also say nothing and secretly hope one of the Townies will say let's lynch the Jester, because the Jester has been "such a great help".

Basically, you can't know for sure if it is # 1 or # 2-2. How about this: Ask the Jester which one it is, and report them if they admit they weren't trying to win!
