This is where I'm at, but more like 60% M, 20% J, 10% T. Like, I just don't think a Jester tries this hard to get lynched. Look at how GB's primary concern is getting a lynch on someone that's not himself - it's just really not good play if he's a Jester. Or really GOOD play, depending on your perspective, I mean if he's a Jester then he's doing a decent job of convincing ME that he's not, and to lynch him.

So GlowingBear, the reason you stood out as a potential jester was your aggressive voting. It's a mistake I've made as jester as well, and it's an easy one to make. Basically, as jester you think, "I want to be lynched. An easy way to do this would be to pick a fight and then 'lose' the argument and get lynched. Alternatively, people will be suspicious of aggressive voting and go after me anyways"-- and this logic is basically correct. But think about how a townie looks at things in this game. If you're a VT, you see a confirmed town and 3 other players claiming to be VT. One of those players is a VT, and you don't want to lynch him. One of them is a Jester, and you definitely don't want to lynch him. Lastly, there's the scum, who you want to lynch. However, not only is the scum trying not to get lynched, the jester is trying to get lynched. Even worse, it's instant majority. If you cast a vote on a townie, and so does someone else, Mafia can hammer in a moment and it's game over.

As town, you're scared to vote. Scared shitless. You want all your ducks in a row before you even try anything, because even 2 votes on the wrong target is an instant loss. Basically, the only way town wins is if all three townies-- the 2 VTs and the BoxeR-- vote together on the mafia. The Jester will only help by accident, you can't rely on him.

So as a townie, throwing around a vote seems like a silly thing to do. If you see someone doing it, you don't even think it's mafia (who would rather be seen as a non-voter, then swoop in to hammer a townie). No, if someone is flinging around votes, they're probably a jester. It's not a certain thing, but it shows how something that seems like a reasonable move (picking fights) to a jester, seems like a jester-tell to town.
