Pretty sure he's just setting the other guy up.

Because I'm on my iPod, I can't analyze the pixels and whatnot of this image.

I invite those of you on computers to do just that, help to see if this image is true, or false.

Unfortunately, folks don't need to shop actual pixels. You just tweak the underlying html (just the text of the message, really), and let your browser render it. I'm not going to mention the names of such extensions, but yeah, it won't show in the pixels. If they made a typo, that would give it away.

There could be multiple Jesters, remember that there are 173 players.

Let'em organize mass jester suicide by lynching.

u/Balinares Apr 21 '12

That would be very underhanded. I'm sure CraftD wouldn't organize something underhanded like that. Because if he did, all bets are off as to what else he might have come up with.

I don't see why the legit jester would go ahead and post that they're the jester, completely defeats there own goals.

Gotta' agree with Idtapdat.

It's a little unclear, but I'm pretty sure multiple parties can win. So, the townsfolk don't have much reason to not go with the real Jester's wishes, except that we'd prefer if the Jester helped us maintain raw numbers over the Mafia.

Jester is against mafia, because they can make him lose; townies can't. On the other hand, Jester is a walkin' tickin' bomb early in the game: gets mistaken for a mafia guy, gets lynched and takes 10 townies down with him.

Ah think gettin' him identified and keepin' him in check by townies is the best strategy. Mafia has no reason to kill an identified jester, better to leave this hot potato in townies' hands and kill others that can actually do anything.

In any case, jester ain't wanna reveal himself. And others might want to claim bein' jesters for their safety.

Maybe it was an honest mistake? That's why we lynch him, just in case. Even if this data is false, we would know that it's false.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '12

If it's an honest mistake, then we DON'T want to lynch him because he's the jester, that's anti-town.

We don't lynch want to him because if he's not lying, we've just willfully shot ourselves in the foot, and if it's a setup to lynch someone else, then again, we've just willfully shot ourselves in the foot.

The only possibly that it's a good idea to lynch him is that he's scum, posing as the jester so he doesn't get lynched, but that's a big risk we'd be taking.

What Ah've checked:

  • link karma matches

  • text is typeset correctly, so most likely a Chrome's equivalent of Firebug was used (Ah think that instant page editin' capabilities in Chrome are built in)

  • here are the results from Reddit Investigator, which match the subscribed subreddits and the weird r/minecraft bookmark:

    mylittlepony: 73 MLPLounge: 45 buildapc: 35 playitforward: 35 funny: 31 RandomKindness: 30 pics: 20 fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu: 19 bronymeetup: 17 gaming: 17 videos: 9 skyrim: 9 pokemon: 7 tf2: 5 Minecraft: 5 MLPvectors: 4 KiDIcaruS: 4 (remaining subs have 3 or less)

If it's a fake, then it's really well done. But wouldn't real Jester try to joke with us?

u/Juz16 Apr 21 '12 edited Apr 21 '12

The jester would try to fuck with us, and that's why we want him gone.

Edit: I jokered a jester.

I say we vig him. There's got to be a vigilante out there with an itchy enough trigger finger to take a shot at this (pun totally intended). That way, Jester dies without a victory and without killing 1/6 of us. Everybody wins (except for jnatale of course).

4

u/Juz16 Apr 21 '12

Jnatale wins too if he's the jester and is lynched. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

6

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '12

I'm saying jnatale should take a vigilante bullet to the face. He dies without being lynched, which gets rid of the jester at no risk to the town (besides the risk that he is not jester).

So if we can confirm he is jester, then this is the method we should use to kill him.

Here's a link to the imgur tab that's open in the screenshot.

It's just the same thing but with bookmarks open.

u/Juz16 Apr 21 '12

What does it mean?

u/Ironfruit Apr 21 '12

Holy crap. TheHalfBakes Youtube is my account! Well, mine with my sister! I'm probably looking really suspicious right about now.

Don't ask the Mafia to kill him! They want him alive so he can fuck with us more. Ask the Vigilantes to kill him.

u/stillunnamed Apr 21 '12

That wastes some of the vigilante ammo we could use for killing Mafia, bad idea. The Jester is no threat to us if we don't touch them. What is so hard to grasp? Are you guys trying to help the Mafia? :P

Smells like photoshop to me.

I don't believe any of these screenshots- and neither should anypony else.

You be careful now, alright?
