Micro 912 Jester Nightless IV

If it’s not Aura today then we go for drew tomorrow, it’s gotta be one of the two

[Espressojet]

I still think it's rooroo

[rooroo]

right, so anyway i rolled jester and i was going to just act conspicuously uninterested in gamesolving so that people decide to lynch me, but it seems like everyone's too afraid to lynch me when i do that, so maybe i'll do this instead:

i'm going to bus my partner but leave rather tmi-looking associatives (

and

cast the third vote) so it's assumed i'm actually mafia and not jester.

anyway, without further ado:

VOTE: Clemency

This flips mafia 100% of the time.

Actually the play here is not to be scumhunting, we just need to lynch not jester for the next 2 phases. If we succeed in that and havent caught scum by day 4 we just lynch whoever had the most jester/scum equity.

Straight up scum hunting right now is dangerous because jester wants to look scummy at this point for that very reason.

I think jester was likely off the clemency wagon especially considering a no lynch would have won them the game so we should probably lynch people that were early on clemency. If scum bused it would probably be on the late end of the wagon but theres a chance jester joined late too as to not arouse suspicion due to the no lynch mechanics.

[eth0s]

I wouldn't normally expect scum to bus here at all but given how close we were to the deadline it was choosing between that and risking a jester win. When given that choice they probably bus the flake partner for wincon and towncred.

[eth0s]

Also dont get caught up in the idea that jester is going to make themselves super obvious and troll the game. I've played JN 2 times and I dont remember how the first time went because it was so long ago but in my last JN

and

in the reverse jester nightless I recently played, the jesters played in a way that looked mostly pro-town for the very reasons i stated in my last two posts.

That's where I think vca comes in handy. Players that simply look pro-town via their sorting and reading etc have decent scum equity. Players that actually start a wagon or join it early and continue to stay on it are less likely jester due to the direct correlation to playing against jester wincon.

In regards to what I said about jester blending in as pro-town, look at my play for example. I started off trolly as I always have when town in this setup, because lulz. But my posts since pointing out the no lyn h mechanics are seemingly pro-town and solvey. Pair that with the fact that I was late on the clemency wagon and I now have way more jester equity than I did early on in the game.

[eth0s]

I should clarify on the reverse jester nightless it was the opposite situation, my apologies. The jester in that setup was really a survivor and played in a way that suggested they had scum equity as to not be lynched (reverse setup so you lose by lynching scum in that setup).

I probably shouldnt have included it all bc confusing but if you get where I'm coming from, it's the same idea but reversed

Okay I was way earlier on the clemency wagon than I thought, I think it was because of rooroo and hectic switching votes around or something. but assume I was on the late end of the wagon for this example

so purely on VCA we are looking at something like this. There's no color for jester, they are lumped in with scum for all intents and purposes of what I'm saying.

Yeah my name is green, WIFOM LAMIST etc, we can ignore me, I don't care. I feel good enough about slimer and espresso being not jester that I'm down to lynch them in that order if people don't want to lynch me yet.

VOTE: theslimer3

[Hectic]

well, eth0s probably isn't the jester based on those posts. his play till now was very similar to the SS game (town)

rooroo probably isn't scum because of 157, it's just too outrageous and toes the boundary for rule-breaking

I think it's less likely scum were bussing since it's a nightless game and a replacement was coming for Clem which could've saved the slot

VOTE: Aura How's my favourite bird doing?

[Hectic]

Eth0s, I get your argument, but I don't think the jester would try and plan a victory based on a no-lynch early to mid of that day, maybe towards the end yeah, which gives late voters on Clem non-jester equity.
But early on? I don't think that's something they're hoping for and adjusting their play for, accidental no lynches don't happen very often, and would especially be avoided in a game like this where it loses you the game.

I had pad thai

Was pretty good

Galaxy brain move is to vote ethos

I still think it's rooroo

Consider how long those votes were actually on clemency though. I'm 2nd on the wagon and voted him not even 24 hours before the deadline ended.

Really it gives you and rooroo large jester equity for moving off of the most likely lynch that late in the day

[eth0s]

*Attempting to try to figure of if this is the same scumEthos from Penguin Mafia*

VOTE: Ethos

Consider if what I'm saying now makes more sense than I did there. And even consider if it's a wifom play. If it is it's a bad one because I've already said I'm willing to lynch 2 others before me.

I figure I either get lynched after D4 bc people are paranoid that im a jester/scum right now or ideally I can just play my best game and hope it doesnt come to that.

My agenda in that game is actually pretty clear if you read the scum PT, I dont even know what i could be angling for here other than if I were scum trying to clear my tracks from being badly read by ppl so far. And I can live with getting lynched d4+ as long as it's not lylo if town paranoia is too high with me around

so... you'd be okay with yourself being lynched too, technically?

fair enough, that's a shining beacon of hope
