== Method ==
# Expect to look like a jester while you train. That is the [[Newbie assignment]].
# Do not try to skip to King by doing nothing with better clothes. That is still Unknown.
# Cut the parts of Jester that are [[tryhard]] (neediness) as soon as you can see them. Keep the volume.

== Failure mode ==
Staying Jester as an identity ('I'm the funny guy'). Or refusing Jester and staying Unknown.
