Slight jester change

Jesters should only win when they haunt, not when they are lynched.
And the random haunt feature should be removed, so if a jester doesn't haunt then no one dies and the jester loses.
The reason why this should be implemented is because many jesters use the random haunt which heavily relies on luck.

I explained the problem in my post, how a lot of jesters use the random haunt feature. It's luck based, and luck based abilities aren't good.

No jester kill is even worse

But most jesters aren't going to do that, because they won't be able to win.

The game is highly luck-based anyway. I do understand why you would want jester to be forced to play kingmaker, but I don't think it will really matter that much in the end. It is still going to be a roll of the die to determine who the jester feels like siding with today. Also unknown roles and stuff.

Agreed.

I think Throne of Lies got it right: "When a Jester is lynched, no one can be voted to the stand the following day." It accurately penalizes the people who want to win by lynching (usually the town, but also the mafia if they get majority).
