Talk:Jester/@comment-26507350-20150918025000

Jester is a powerful role in the right hands, and helping a jester is not always to your disadvantage. Many roles can help jesters be lynched, inlcuding vigilantes, TIs, Mayors, and various evil roles. The thing is most people don't see the jester as a weapon. You must make it clear to them that you are INTENTIONALLY HELPING THEM. You can almost always get them to kill somebody of your choice afterwards, Strategies for doing this vary depending on your role.

Invest/Consig:Claim they are GF/Mayor, or another evil role. Possibly claim they were transported after they die

Sheriff:Claim they are mafia, and later that they were framed.

Lookout:Claim they visited a person who died.

Spy:Claim their name was spoken in mafia chat, or other things

Vig:Claim they are immune without ever shooting them

Mayor:Town is your loyal servant, just tell them to lynch him as he is suspicious

Medium: Claim the dead suspect them as mafia

Escort/Consort:On a night with no deaths claim you roleblocked them, and that they must be mafia(not as reliable as other methods)

GF/Mafioso/SK/Arso/WW:If he asks for somebody to die, kill them

A big question is why would I help the jester? The simple answer is why not? A jester can be made to kill a specific player if you ask and helped them get lynched, as a transporter you can have them target you and then choose a suspect to take the hit. If you are guaranteed a win, regardless of who the jester kills and who dies that night, then why not? be nice to people, and maybe it'll start something. Plus it's pretty funny to see town's reaction when they realize you lied. :P
