A plugin that adds a Jester role to the popular game Among Us.

Jester

Jester is a plugin for the Among Us private server called Impostor that adds a new role to the game Among Us. The plugin will add a special Jester role to the game. The idea behind this Jester role is that if this Jester gets voted out during a meeting they win, and all other players lose. At the start of each game, one player will be assigned this role.

This adds a special twist to the usual dynamic of Among Us and you now have to be extra careful who you vote. Your very suspicious crewmate standing on a body is probably the imposter... unless the Jester is among us.

Installation

1. Set up an Impostor server by following the instructions on their Github page.
2. Find the latest release of the plugin.
3. Drop the Jester.dll file in the plugin folder of your Impostor server.
4. To play with your client on your private server, see the instructions on the Impostor page.
5. Don't forget to open chat before you start a game! 😉

Note: It's currently not possible to play with the Jester in more than one lobby at the same time (on the same private server). Will add support for that soon!

How it works

• When the hosts clicks the 'start' button in the lobby, every player has to open the ingame chat to see whether they could become the Jester.

• If a player that gets the "You're the Jester"-message happens to be Imposter, there will be no Jester that game.

• If a player that gets the "You're the Jester"-message happens to be a crewmate, that player will have the special Jester role that game!

• You will also get a confirmation message during the first meeting. So if you're unsure if you're the Jester you can always press the emergency button.

• The Jester is also a crewmate and wins when the crewmates completed all their tasks (including the Jester).

• The Jester has an additional win-condition: if the Jester gets voted out, the Jester will win and all other players will lose.

• When the Jester wins, they are shown in the victory screen with a Elf Hat. The other players are shown with a Dum-sticker to make clear that they have lost.

• In the Among Us lobby, the host can use the /jester on and /jester off commands in the chat to turn the jester role on and off. Additionally, any player can write /jester help to get an explanation about the Jester role.
