Why do people keep saying a jester winning would end the game entirely? Since when does one neutral leaving a game cause an end to it?

Votes are slowly piling up on Zipped but almost reluctantly. Quite a few are going off wagon to see what happens.
This likely means a scrambly day end where 3 people claim and then someone is unexpectedly voted out.

Yeah, it wouldn't really need to end the game. That said, it's still a trash role because it's braindead easy to succeed with and does nothing but stall the game. It's really easy to just fake a slip or act like an idiot and get voted out. If someone legitimately wanted to do one they'd need to make it more interesting. Something like be voted out in MYLO/LYLO as a more mafia aligned neutral or something. Give em a BP vest and tell them they will be informed by PM when the game is in MYLO/LYLO.
Just put in a couple vigilantes and watch showboating jesters get fucked by vig shots mid-d1 lol

But then we don't get to see town players get shot in the face five minutes into a game.

You are a mean lady.
I love it.
I think it also depends on the community meta. When we used jesters sometimes they were just straight jesters but a lot of times they also had conditions on them. Sometimes they would be a vote bomb, other times they could be a ghost and take a revenge shot or do some other weird beyond the grave stuff. Basically there had been enough variation in there that there was some potential risk in voting out a potential jester.
I've always heard of Jesters as a game-ending role. If you ran it as just "you win if you die" then that's less egregious, but it still kind of feels like wasting a spot in a setup. That player isn't going to really contribute much other than noise. And we all know how frustrating that is.
I guess you could do it if you needed to balance a strong town against a weak scum team, I suppose.

It's not like we're in the habit of designing games specifically to confuse and frustrate players. I don't know where you would have possibly gotten that idea.
I'm just saying that a vig or two is a great hedge against a jester who wants to just walk in and fake slip on d1. Any vig who doesn't take that shot isn't worthy of holding the gun.
Let us all be Vincent Alexander with a gun. That man is the vigilante king. (Except for that time in live mafia with Rover, which was WILD.)

I definitely would have preferred leaving geno alive for a day because the result of voting him off yesterday has basically caused day 1 to repeat since no real wagons were formed yesterday. That's me though, I wanted to leave Mao alive in Transistor even when he lied about tracking EC in that game lol.
I think Zeke is a better shot though.
I checked and absolutely NO ONE asked you!

So much meta but nobody wanting to kill zeke, i don’t get it. :P
What a waste of a day. I will be shocked if Zipped flips scum.
still haven't read the game and Zipped is obviously town

Yeah. Him pinging people was weird enough that I figured it had to do with his role.
Fran is in this game?
Fran is scum with Hawthorn.

If two more town die tonight, it'll be pretty dire on D3.

I'm sure 2 town will die tonight
Hilarious (to me) things almost happened but as things stand right now it's going to be fairly boring.

Big losses for town there. Both for the roles and the players
I'm convinced one of Launch and Hawthorn are scum. Hell, maybe they both are.
Launch's bungled vote on hawthorn, then miraculously being convinced by her and voting zipped raised red flags for me.
Yeah I think they both are.
Many town power roles are already dead. Not looking good for town.

I am shocked, really shocked.

Hi zipped..
I apologise on behalf of town, that vote was ridiculous

Hey @AllThingsPurple vanilla in a bastard game, its a rough go of it isn't it?
The roughest.

Even if I am convinced that Launchpad doesn't have town's best interest at heart, I can't help but feel like at least one of those votes was due to trickery of some sort.
Is launchpad a killing neutral?
Surely a third neutral is more likely than a 2nd scum team?
Pfft spoiler begging on D3?
Not sure I’ve seen town in a worse position.
Launch is town. ATP's description of what happened with his Thorny and Zipped votes sounds more like town!Launch than scum!Launch to me.

HP would have to be in the game first. Come on Hedin. Don’t you have all your ducks in a row?

What’s the control for stopping the game runner from filling the roles by funniest match?

I personally find two scum teams hard to believe, but it is a bastard game I suppose

I think if we get one more night of two townies dying, no scum today and the game doesn’t end then that will bet guess.
not that we could win at that point, but merely play the game to figure out which scum team beats the other…
That would be kind of hilarious, town just wiped out and two scum teams battling it out

Oh sure, it's entirely possible that there are 2 scum teams here yet no one entertained the idea in MGS. I see how it is.
