Hmmm, idk, maybe the fact that its completely powerless against a faction which wants it dead

'''And jester has what defense against that excactly? And that day argument is invalid, since both the town and the killers have higher priority targets.'''

Even if it has equal chances of dying at night, even though almost never to Mafia, Coven or NKs,

Townie roles can focus you at night only.

'''First of all: You are contradicting yourself; You said they had equal chances of dying at night but then you stated the town would focus the jester (only at) night, while they wouldn't focus a survivor. Also: What reasons to the killer have to kill a survivor? Your main argument was that they want to change the vote situation. So... Jester cannot vote ... or what? Jester is actually more annoying for the evils to "side" with; you want to be executed meaning they'd have to waste a day of executing on you or even a life if the town plays it smart. They would choose a survivor over the jester anytime, just so they don't have to deal with the request of yours, while the survivor's request can be fulfilled passively.'''

You could argue; but nobody wants to kill a jester, then yes, but if your persuasive enough, you can easily do it, or you could team up with a faction to help kill their opponents.

'''"Hey i am Jester; Hang me please." Yeah.. i wanna see that work. Because everyone just volunteers to get their life taken... If that is your argument, the same could be said for survivor: "Please let me live" If you are just persuasive enough. As said ealier... Evils would rather fulfill a survivor's request than a jester's.'''

It's not being able to be killed at day.

'''Which is excactly why people don't want you to live at all, meaning they might want to kill you at night. As i stated before executing you would waste 1 precious day and probably 1 of the evil faction's life... So... '''

You won't get killed at night, but will be more likely to die at night or just be completely ignored
