Summary:
[context] This game immediately follows a previous game where JLander - though I believe not intentionally gamethrowing - really failed to pull his weight as the Dragon Head. Specifically culminating in a night against two (confirmed) town where he decided not to shoot either, resulting in his lynch the next day and a town victory. In the lobby, several people chastise him for his poor performance, with a couple even suggesting that he be kicked from the lobby. As the host, I state that being a poor player is not a bannable offense, and that he has to learn somehow. He states in the lobby that he doesn't care about what others think he should have done (paraphrasing) and that he's only going to "play solo" and ignore everyone else. I tell him that "playing solo" is not the nature of mafia [unless perhaps you are a Jester], and that he should attempt to work with his team. He rebuffs me, reiterates his intent to "play solo," and I remove him from the lobby several times before the game forcibly starts. [Side note: How I long for a ban option in the arcade lobbies. Even with its potential for abuse, it would certainly cure many headaches.]

The game loads, I state that "this save [with an Any Random and no confirmed Neutral Killer] is maybe a little too complex for JLander, but we're going with it, so if there's someone acting extra special, you know who it is, cut them some slack." Day 1 I reiterate from the lobby: "Remember everyone, be nice to JLander, he has to learn somehow. JLander, remember it's not a solo game, buddy. You can win this, I believe in you JLander. You just gotta work with your team." (This series of statements was a context-appropriate and successful veteran-bait.)
[/context]

JLander is a Doctor and sets his last will to "Sorry I sleep at night, I'm playing solo." He fails to perform any night actions and continually votes against the majority of town, saying that he was suiciding, and generally acting like a Jester, eventually resulting in him being lynched by town. This seems like a textbook case of Griefing, and going against his assigned win condition.

Though Town did still win the game, he arguably cost the Jester - who was upfront about their role - their Jester victory.

Summary
JLander receives the role Doctor in Slot 1.
D1 11 is provoking him and tells him to remember that it’s not a solo game.
N1 he doesn’t heal anyone and writes his lw: “Sorry I sleep at night, I’m playing solo.”.
D2 he says “sheriff here 14 mafia”. The mayor reveals and asks for PMs. 1 doesn’t pm but once again claims sheriff and says 14 is mafia. Nobody is lynched that day.
N2 he doesn’t try to heal anyone and gets roleblocked.
D3 he says “I suicided” “hf” (he didn’t type suicide). He doesn’t vote or say anything else, nobody is lynched that day.
N3 Once again, JLander performs no night action.
D4 he doesn’t talk or vote, again nobody is lynched.
N4 14 (who JLander accused as mafia before) gets executed.
D5 3(who claimed jester) gets voted up, town tells JLander to solo guilty. He says “Fair enough” and votes innocent. Town puts 1 up. He claims doc and says that he didn’t heal anyone because he sleeps at night. He gets found guilty.
D6 Town lynches the last mafia and wins the game.

JLander intentionally didn’t heal anyone at night, didn’t even try to find evils and claimed a fake role D2 for no reason. This is his 7^th offense within just one year, I recommend 4x Ban-List.

Recommended Action
JLander: 4x Ban-List

Additional Notes
Thank you for this report!

I didn't realize this was a pattern of behavior. In that case, the preceding match (mentioned in the context above) where he neglected to shoot either of two confirmed town to win the game may have been a deliberate gamethrow. Should I upload that as well? (I would have to dig up the replay.)

Hey,

I can't tell you for sure if he threw in that previous game without knowing some other details (like roles of the townies or if there might have been a good reason to not shoot etc), but I can assure you that JLander is not a new player and if he didn't shoot anyone at night for no reason, it wasn't because he didn't know what to do.
We always encourage players to report it if they see someone breaking the rules so if you think he threw, then you can upload the replay either here in this thread or file a new report.
Thanks!

A bus driver redirected my shot when I was dh...
As for the last game, you have to admit it was kinda funny...
