Though, I don't see how it could ever be a problem to say your alignment. It gives away nothing. Absolutely nothing. Why so secretive?
"Are you jester?"
I say no.
I'm town being truthful.
I'm mafia being truthful.
I'm jester lying.
I'm third party being truthful.
Any of the above could have other plans behind why I say no, on top of the obvious.
I say yes.
I'm town lying. (Maybe I have a power role? Mafia is looking for town.)
I'm mafia lying. (Oh hey, don't lynch me I'm jester.)
I'm jester telling the truth. (Jester would never claim jester, right?)
I'm third party lying. (Oh hey, don't lynch me I'm jester.)
Or other reasons I could claim jester.
It's a bunch of wifom.
It would be much easier for me to say yes/no, but I always have and always will hate being asked that question as there's absolutely no point to asking it. Therefore, I will generally respond exactally like this every time I'm asked it, until people stop asking it. (I've been asked before.)

On the topic of the game: I doubt bmin's town. Leaning mafia/third over jester.
