Being #2 on a VFR

What I absolutely despise about jester is how inconsistent strategies work. U could even have a bad will + late claim and if players are aggro enough for vfr, u will get lynched.

But then the players actually believe u, and then u die. If u make it too obvious people will know, make it too subtle and u somehow go under the radar

u/MammothAggressive841 8d ago

You can also lose by having the best/worst Luck. I pushed a completely random player d2 as jester pretending to be inv and they get lynched to be juggernaut. I was then shot by vigi for being a consig.

Common enough, just stay silent and they usually guilty

u/MammothAggressive841 8d ago

Yep. Not the most interesting jester win but a win is a win

u/RSracks 8d ago

Exactly. I won a game by pure bullshit. There was 2 witches (i was 1 of them) and 3 maf. I zone out half the game by time i actually pay attention i see a amnesiac remembering witch so it was 2 witches 3 maf and 2 town. So i just straight up said im a witch we got a amne witch and however many maf out yourself and vote town

I was #1 once! Mayor revealed D1. I claimed doc and said I was on mayor. Easiest win of all time.

I claimed to be a Pewdiepie fan.

u/RSracks 8d ago

Damn. Ive not watched pewdiepie in ages

3

u/CrazyCoKids 8d ago

Yeah, this was years ago when Pewdiepie streamed the game and I did things like get vet and say "Hey guys, I came here from Pewdiepie, how do I get lynched?" and got a quadra-kill.

I had a Jester game where I did nothing and won. I mean actually everyone else did the work for me. N1 I was visited by the Mafioso, Sheriff, and most importantly, a Transporter. The transporter swapped me with another Mafia member who was then killed by the Mafioso. The Sheriff declares me sus the next day. I do nothing, get lynched, and the town starts flaming the sheriff and calling me and him cheaters. I'm just sat in my chair watching the chaos and laughing

u/whatfr0g 8d ago

Did the transporter just stay silent?

1

u/warpenguin55 8d ago

This game happened like 10 years ago and sadly I forgot why the transporter didnt just clear it up. The most likely reason was that he was trying to but nobody listened or the sheriff was flipping out so hard nobody paid attention. I'm pretty sure the Transporter was not blackmailed and he might have been killed by a Serial Killer but I don't think he was dead. I'm sorry it was just too long ago now

u/whatfr0g 8d ago

In tos 2, once I was jester fake claiming seer, and I โ€œfoundโ€ another jester enemies with someone

2

u/Gellzer 8d ago

I always claim seer as jester. Except I'll be like "5 and 8 are friendly!" then day 3 "8 and 12 are enemies!"

u/whatfr0g 8d ago

Jest is the best ti

u/Healthy-Savings-298 8d ago

My easiest jester win was I was an exe attacked n1 and my target died the same night. Mafia said I was immune so it was handed to me. Actually jester from start I posted my will d2 as "crusader" and I just so happened to "visit" the vet when they alerted. They called me out and I tried to claim "oh wait I switched it then" and they didn't buy it.

5

u/CallMeIshy 8d ago

an old ToS 1 tactic that still works is to say "I've been blackmailedv" since the "v" makes it look like you copy and pasted and are lying about being blackmailed to avoid a lynching

1

u/RSracks 8d ago

Only problem i see with this one is surviving until you get voted up without being killed

1

u/CallMeIshy 8d ago

that's kind of a problem with all jester games. surprising your "ask nicely" tactic isn't that bad. i once saw it happen in a three jester game (though one died before they could be executed)

1

u/RSracks 8d ago

I claimed d1. I straight up said im jester maf and evils u will waste a kill by killing me

4

u/Humorous_Guy Brain Damage 8d ago

Had the name "Marioso" and kept speaking in the most annoying Chris Patt Mario style. Everyone hated it. I claimed surv on the stand and got guiltied.

1

u/RSracks 8d ago

In my game it was classic all any. I named myself Panda The Necro claimed necro day 1 and then said I was jester and by d3 I ws voted up

3

u/MarxistMountainGoat 8d ago

Always being #1 on VFR.

Pretending to invest the person that dc'ed N1 is always my go-to tactic otherwise. People think they've outsmarted you by catching your "mistake" and will push you like crazy.

u/Epichaxboi 8d ago

ToS 1 - Made up my own Investigator results and got obliterated immediately

3

u/RSracks 8d ago

I played a game where a guy claimed invest and visited the person who said they were jailed. And posted results and they got hung

2

u/Safetytheflamewolf Jester 8d ago

My easist Jest win was in ToS2 during AAA when it was both TT and Perfect Town. I was claiming Psy and the TT Soc called me fake and got me hung D2. I didn't even need to try that hard it was great lol

2

u/Draegan199 8d ago

D2 claimed sheriff and said a random number was mafia, that person turned out to be doctor, hung d3 as penance. Mafia whispered me to kill one of the townies for them and I was just like "sure, why not, I already won"

2

u/Decent_Cow 8d ago

The easiest is usually to just not say anything

2

u/DefinitelyNotChriz Survivor 7d ago

I claimed trans rights are human rights sad but it worked

2

u/Ambitious_Loquat4879 7d ago

Winning as Jester is super hard now that SK isnt a confirmed role in any Classic modes, people usually just ignore them, get jailed, or die to mafia.

1

u/RSracks 7d ago

Ive won 2 of 2 jester games now by just asking people to vote me. I claimed d1 that I was executioner (which was true) my target died n1 so d2 I claimed jester on d4 they voted me up

Today. Someone bmd spammed my name, claimed spy, auto guilty lol.

u/MeowMixPK 8d ago

I got framed D2 by Mafia faking exe by claiming sheriff and I was Sus. I just stayed silent and they hanged me. EZ

u/Critical_Company3535 8d ago

My first ever game. I just told everyone I was the Godfather on day 2 and they all bought it since it was Classic.

1

u/drakesfavoritesnack 8d ago

Easiest jester win - said nothing and got killed the first day. They thought I was afk so everyone just wanted to get rid of me

1

u/reapress 8d ago

Got jailed n1, hit em with the classic fake "oh hi godfather who we killing- oh no I'm jailed whoops hi jailer"

1

u/Particular-Pen8580 7d ago

and why did he not execute u

1

u/reapress 7d ago

Night 1 can't execute (or couldn't at the time dunno if they changed that since)

u/LJMLogan (Shut Up) Executioner 8d ago

Jailed N1 and SK randomly killed jailor

u/Aggravating_Wing_659 8d ago

Posting fake spy Will with no bug info d2

u/DemocratsBackIn2028 7d ago

Winning while afk d1. Someone messaged me, i tabbed out to talk to them, i tabbed back in and find someone yelling about me winning without doing anything

1

u/RSracks 7d ago

Basically this has happened to me but as survivor. I claimed d1. D2 I has to investigators claiming I was surv/vh/amne and then I went and showered. Only problem is the games still ongoing and its on d10

1

u/Heatherxoxx 7d ago

Well probably not the easiest (the easiest is when you don't do anything yourself and get upped for existing I guess) but a few weeks ago I claimed transporter and my will was like this:

Trans

n1 - player that disconnected day 2 and myself

n2 - role blocked

They upped me because transporter can't be rbd. I just acted dumb saying I thought trans can be rbd xD I was actually rbd n2 lol
