Win conditions:
  1. Town wins when they eliminate all of the Mafia. The Jester does not need to be eliminated in order for town to win.
  2. Mafia wins when they control 50% of the vote.
  3. Jester wins if they die via a day kill. They lose if they are NK'ed or are alive when the Mafia will control 50% of the vote.
Ah, that makes sense.

But then why would you disallow Jester to claim? It's suicide for them to do so, as they would never be daykilled. I don't get that restriction.

whats to stop everyone from claiming jester to out the jester though?

Everyone claims jester. Either the jester doesnt comply, and is outted as jester, or he just loses on the spot.

Doesnt that automatically make a mass-jester claim optimal play?

What am I missing

Does the game not ending if the Jester wins mean that both the Jester and town/mafia can win?

Let me amend it this way -

"please don't try to break the game via claiming or massclaims. Pretty Please."

Better to break it before it starts than after. Think of Vecna as a white hat hacker.

I am asking you all to avoid tricky maneuvers/mechanics and little things like 'force everyone to claim Jester' to force the Jester to be revealed and thus lose. This is 'gaming the game' and isn't fun to witness.

If this is too much of an ask, just let me know and I'll scrap hosting this.

Although, I choose to see these hole-pokings as useful preambles. That we can agree not to make use of.

I don't find it non-useful - I am not the best communicator in the world so I am trying to clearly state my intent is to avoid mass claims or other setup trickery to break the game.

Also - Jester scans as innocent for the cop btw

Can I suggest you just drop the rule entirely? Someone's going to make a joke about being scum or jester without thinking about it and put you in the awkward position of confirming something you don't want to.

Among the game-breaking suggestions, xorxes has wisely noted that the jester claiming will be counterproductive, meaning we shouldn't have to worry about it.

Sure - consider it dropped. Ya'll get my point and intent at this point.
