Proposal: Flips!

Self-killed, cannot reach quorum (0 - a gazillion)
Failed by Hix

Add a new dynastic Rule entitled “Jester” (if there is a subrule entitled “Specific Occupations”, the proposed rule below can be added to that subrule), as follows:

If a Villager has the Occupation “Jester” then he may, as a Weekly Action, “Flip” any living Villager other than emself.  To “Flip” a Villager, the Jester sends a private email message to (i) the Mayor, (ii) the Villager that the Jester is Flipping, and (iii) at least one other Villager (whether living or dead) who is not the Jester, the Mayor or the Villager (the “Witness”) that the Jester is Flipping.  (The Jester should send two email messages, both identifying the target Villager: the first to both the target Villager and the Mayor, and the second to both the Witness and the Mayor—that way, the Witness knows who the target Villager is, but the target Villager does not necessarily know who the Witness is, and the Mayor can be certain that all three requisite message recipients have received their messages.)  The Mayor must then send a private acknowledgement email to the Jester and the Villager whom the Villager flipped.  The effect of “Flipping” a Villager is to reverse the target Villager’s Werewolf status (if e was a Werewolf, e ceases to be a Werewolf, and if e was not a Werewolf, e becomes a Werewolf), effective upon the Mayor sending the confirmatory email.

Aren’t you mixing up party games?

So, you can just make extra werewolves? ...  against

Well, the Jester doesn’t necessarily know if he’s adding a werewolf or subtracting one.

Sure, except there’s like an 80% chance it’s the latter.  against Infection mechanics are fun, but this is insane.

Er, the former.  Not the latter.

against A Werewolf Jester could ruin the game quite quickly.

against I like the concept, but not the result of being “Flipped”. Come up with another effect and I will vote for it.

against No.  Please, NO.  We don’t need overpowered jesters and a werewolf army.
