I have never heard of a role called Chef. What's it do? As long as it has a kind of knife I guess the bladsmith would find it.Seol wrote:

Sidekick- When the game starts choose one of the following town power roles: (Cop, Doc, Vig, Role Blocker, etc)
At night you may check one target player and see if they are the town power role you have chosen to search for. You win with the town. Go lynch the scum!Modnotes - To add dimension to the role you may add roles that aren't in the setup to the role choice list. You can also mess with its sanity if you wanted to turn this into a worst role. You can also add the condition that should the sidekick die, all players will learn what you chose to search for.
Should the user pick a role in the setup, the user can now effectivly help that player defend from lynches. Should they pick Cop and find a cop, they will know to look for bread crumbs from that player and to support their suspicions during the game.
You could make certain variants of this role like "Cop Finder" suspifically. Should the mafia then later on kill the "Cop Finder", they will now have depth to try and find the cop based on who the finder buddied up too. So esentially the cop finder would be almost a guard to a king. And should the finder have not found the cop or there isn't a cop in the setup, now the mafia will be sent on a bastardize chase for the cop.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Momento was an awesome film.
This role I once posted in worst ideas because its way too powerful. Only way it can loose is via mod kill or a superkill that bipasses protection. I felt like a god when I got this role on irc. Had it for 2 nights and then a tracker caught me killing someone. So I had towinby getting lynched. Its too powerful!
Rogue Comando Jester (sk):You win if you are lynched. You are immune to kills. You kill other players at night. You also win when you are in the final two and there are no other killers.
Abilities: killWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

NEWDecoy (Weak Bodyguard)- at night you may target any one player. If that player chooses to kill someone, then you will become their target and die. If your target is selected to be nked by one or more killers, only you will die instead. You win with the town. Go lynch the scum!Modnotes - A weak doc dies if it protects scum and succeeds in protecting its target otherwise. It learns if its target is scum and protects them. This role works along simular principles except it is more like a bodyguard who will die pending on its target killing or being killed.
I see a weak doc as as more investigative then protective and this role i see as much more protective since it stops outgoing and ingoing kills while being able to guard goons the don't send kills without harm. Vigs will hit you too.
RevisedBladesmith (Knife Finder)- at night you may target any one player. You will learn if that player has a knife. You win with the town.Modnotes - gets reading of knife on SK's, Caterers (chefs), and Docs only. The role works simular to Gunsmiths that can get gun on Mafia, Vig, and sometimes cop.
Sidekick ("Role" Finder)- When the game starts choose one of the following town-aligned power roles:
"Cop, Doc, Vig, Role Blocker, etc"
At night you may check one target player and see if they are the town-aligned power role you have chosen to search for. You win with the town. Go lynch the scum!Modnotes - To add dimension to the role you may add roles that aren't in the setup to the role choice list. You can also mess with its sanity if you wanted to turn this into a worst role. You can also add the condition that should the sidekick die, all players will learn what it chose to search for.
Should the user pick a role in the setup, the user can now effectivly help that player defend from lynches. Should they pick Cop and find a cop, they will know to look for bread crumbs from that player and to support their suspicions during the game. The role effectivly can only learn one innocent on there pre-chosen search target.
You could make certain variants of this role like "Cop Finder" suspifically if you wanted to auto-determine what they search for, based on game balance. And should the mafia then later on kill the "Cop" Finder, they will now have depth to try and find the cop based on who the finder buddied up to. So esentially the cop finder would be almost a guard to a king in AITP. And should the finder have not found the cop or there isn't a cop in the setup, now the mafia will be sent on a bastardize chase for the cop.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Expert Witness- Matlock, Perry Mason, My cousin Vinny, they all ocasionally had one that would tip things in another players favor and get another person charged with murder. Once during the game you may use the following skill during twighlight only. You will change the days lynch target to someone else of your choosing. That's right, you will have full authority over who gets lynched instead of someone else. BUT there is a catch. The person you choose must have a different alignment then the person really getting lynched. You can not use this skill to save yourself, and the rest of the town will be told you are the one who changed the lynch target. They will not be told what role or alignment you have when the skill is used. You win with the town. Go lynch the scum!Modnotes - This skill can win the game for the town, should the scum quick lynch a townie and begin to brag before the mod calls it game over. However it is possible for you to take a mafioso that is being lynched and substitute them with an inocent townie. Let's see them try explaining that one during the next day!
Bribed Witness- You are scum with ______. You love money. Money is good. And you therefore have the power to save one of your scum buddies from being lynched and instead get any other player not in your faction lynched. You can only use this skill once during twighlight. You can not use this skill to save yourself, and the rest of the town will be told you are the one who changed the lynch target. They will not be told what role or alignment you have when the skill is used. You win with your scum faction when you obtain majority over the town or when nothing can be done to prevent this. Kick some ass!Modnotes - This skill can seal the deal and win the game for the scum, should they bus, and their scum buddy admits to being scum followed by a self vote or hammer. However should they spare their scum buddy outside of lylo, I forsee both of them getting lynched over the next couple of days. Let's see if they can possibly avoid that.
I wonder how these roles would play out in a situation involving multiple scum groups. I forsee some level of choas evolving from one mafioso getting switched with one from an entirely different scum group. Both a bribed and expert witness could do that.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Yes, it would fail. I designed it like that on purpose simply so the "However" parts of my mod notes would be possible. They are two roles with big pay offs that can screw you over during the next day should you spare a mafioso and lynch a townie instead. They're basically the govenor role with a bus driver and cop twist.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Revisions
Read the underlined additions for they do fully what I intend for them to do now. And the expert witness kicks more ass powerwise for the town. Yet the chance you'll switch a scum with a townie will increase the more times you try the skill. Perhaps its too powerful so maybe one shot is more desired, but it is more choatic like this.PokerFace wrote:Expert Witness- Matlock, Perry Mason, My cousin Vinny, they all ocasionally had one that would tip things in another players favor and get another person charged with murder.You can only use the following skill during twighlight.

Let's Mess with Trackers and Watchers time!
We know how these roles become new roles when their predecessors go down.
Deputy (or Retired Cop)- Should there be a cop in play and they die, you will become a cop and be able to investigate one person each night learning if they are mafia.Nurse- Should there be a doc in play and they die, you will become a doc and be able to protect one person each night from dieing to 1 kill.Miller- Will show up as guilty or scum to all Cop investigationsBut Consider these:
Peeping Tom- Should there be a watcher in play and they die, you will become a watcher and be able to watch one person each night learning who targets them.Patsy- Should there be a tracker in play and they die, you will become a watcher and be able to track one person each night learning who targets themGrave Digger- Miller Variant that will be seen as targeting any and all players that died during the previous night, by trackers and watchers.And now some Mafia aligned Roles:
Mafia Undertaker- Framer Variant that can makes it look like his target killed each player that died last night. He can choose any player each night.Mafia Ninja- Mafia Goon who can't be seen by trackers or watchers whenever he kills or somehow uses another action.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

A Tracker or Watcher that always gets a No Result is Blind orNaive Tracker or Watcher.
A Tracker or Watcher that saw a random result would beRandom Trackers or Watchers
A Tracker that seespeople that performed actions last nighttarget no oneAND see people that did not perform actions last nighttarget random people, would be anInsane Tracker
A Watcher that seeseveryone that didn't use an action last nighttarget their watchee would be anInsane Watcher
Tracker that always gets their trackee going to each player that died last night would beParanoid Tracker. If nobody dies the paranoid tracker sees his trackee targetting the paranoid tracker.

A Jester with a twist that can actually help the Town or Scum pending who hammers it.Political Lobbyist- If you are night killed or if you survive to the end of the game, you loose. You win if you are lynched during the day. You can not self hammer. When you are lynched the game will not end or go directly to night. Insted the next night phase will be skipped and things will proceed directly to the next day. During this next day, the player that hammered you will be King for that day. They will have full decision on who is lynched that day. Not like it will really matter to you since you'll already have won the game for yourself. You can pretty much just sitback, relax, and enjoy the show at that point.Mod Notes - Lynch the Jester and you get a prize.
To add some zing to the role you could have the Jester's win condition not just based on having them get lynched. You could make some other requirement hindging on the Hammer Droppers further actions or alignment.
Edit: Version 2. Now we have some zing that will actually make things a little dificult for the Jester and any dumb players since it is sometimes rather easy to lynch a JesterPolitical Lobbyist- If you are night killed or if you survive to the end of the game, you loose. You win if you are lynched during the day. You can not self vote or claim your role ever. Should someone call or speculate that you are a Jester before you are lynched, it will take one less vote to lynch them that day. When you are lynched the game will not end or go directly to night. Instead the next night phase will be skipped and things will proceed directly to the next day. During this next day, the player that hammered you will be King for that day. They will have full decision on who is lynched that day. Not like it will really matter to you since you'll already have won the game for yourself.

I think this would better fit as a worse role idea. Its essentially a townie with a contious who kills himself putting the town even further behind then they were after 3 mislynches.TAX wrote:Ashamed Lyncher- You are pro-town. If three people you voted to lynch were innocent you hang yourself.
Still an interesting role I wouldn't mind using sometime, but I wouldn't call it a Best role. But since it hurts itself and the town it is a good role for bastard modding.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Yes but the proper name for your variant was whispering tracker. I mentioned that in the game many times since I had seen a whispering tracker before playing in Monty Python's Flying Circus Mafiashaft.ed wrote:
I like my Patsy tracker variant better.PokerFace wrote:Patsy (or Follower)- Should there be a tracker in play and they die, you will become a watcher and be able to track one person each night learning who targets them
Patsy:You are Patsy, humble page boy to King Arthur. You are equipped with a coconut that allows you to transport a single person over large distances each night. Using your ability you can grant another player the power to track a second target. Your request should be formatted as “I want PlayerA to track PlayerB.” Note that you cannot be either the tracker or the target of tracking for your night action.
Meanwhile the general term patsy outisde of the holy grail is follower or sidekick which would fit better for a full tracker that picked up where you left off. Can you think of a better name for a guy that becomes tracker after the last one died?When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Role idea inspired by shaft.ed for watching
You areTour Guide. At night you can allow someone to visit any location so that they may admire anything the may want. Basically you can allow one player to "watch" another player at night and let them see anyone who also goes there. Your request should be formatted as “I want PlayerA to watch PlayerB.” Note that you cannot be either the watcher or the target of watching for your night action.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Inspiration: CEScum rules!Addictive Cop- You may investigate any player at night in order to learn if they are scum via an inocent or guilty read. You know that you are sane but if you are targeted by a doc your results for that night could be wrongly influenced.You win with the town when all scum are elimnated. Good luck.
Mod Notes -
if Cop is protected from a kill, his result will be paranoia
if Cop is protected and not targeted for a kill, his result will be naive

I really like the name and the idea of a traveling gypsy. Perhaps there is a way we can word the pm to be like overworked intern or some kind of traveling role blocker or jailkeeper
Of since the thief role can investigative perhaps this role somehow investigate and role blocks. Learns what you are by fucking you. All that matters most if how you wierd a role. You can name something pretty much anything and it can do practically different things. I think Seol ran a game with alot of those

Let's face it. Being an SK can be difficult especially if there is an FBI agent or Psychiatrist geared solely to find or rehabilitate you. Jesters can be easy because they can normally get themselves lynched very early in a game. But what if there was a role that nuetered Jesters like the FBI Agent and Psychiatrist do for SK's
You are anAsylum Doctor. There maybe a Jester in this game. Each day you may call a player into your office. If they are a Jester they will be rehabilitated and turned into an anytime mason with you. You can talk to each other and know for certain each of you is town for the rest of the game. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. Good LuckYou are aShock Treatment Officer. There maybe a Jester in this game. Each Twighlight you may shedule the player with the most votes to recieve shock treatment. This will pardon them from being lyched and they will instead be given them the shock treatment. This will render them incapacited and they'll get thrown into a cell for the night unable to be killed or perform any actions. They will be imediatly released or exiled from the game at the start of the next day as a result of your treatment. This will not cause the game to re-enter night because it does not truly count as a lynch. If this is done on 2 uncrazed (non-jester) individuals your position will be euthenized from the medical field and you will be forced to leave the town in order to find work elsewhere. If the task is performed on a Jester the town will recieve an extra day before the next night. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

You areGeorge Bush, a C avg student who somehow got lucky enough to be elected president of the united states twice. It would be absolutly hilarious if you could get those guys to vote for you again after all the trouble you caused. A third term in office would be awesome, but its going to take some very delicate stratejere for you to gather a majority of the votes on day 3. Hopefully you can pull this off without being killed in office ahead of time. Should you succeed you will win the game and have diplomatic immunity once again. Meaning you can help me write death scenes and what not as the rest of the game progress. You won't be harmed as you have the oportunity to watch a good show, it can be just like a cartoon for you. Good Luck Mr. President.You are aNAL Seriel Killer. At night you may kill any player of your choice. You may also kill any player via sending me a PM during the day. this skill will only work if your target has not posted for more than 7 real life days without some V/LA notice in their sig, the games posts, or the V/la thread. This skill can be used any number of times during a single game day. The 7 day no post timer will reset itself at the start of each game day for each player. You are aligned with yourself and you win when you are the last one alive or nothing can be done to prevent this. Nuke all lurkers.

Rofl's idea is one solution which is sometimes done with Mafia Usurpers in play. I'll also post the fowling 2 real roles I've seen in order to help Jahudo perfect the Rat role if he wants to do more than that.
You are a Saulas. You are currently aligned with the Mafia. It is your job to help lynch the town so that your side out numbers the town or nothing can be done to prevent this. When you are first lynched or nightkilled you will be ressurected as town where your new win condition will be to eliminate all threats to the town's safety. If you die a second time after this, you are dead for good without your win condition changing again. Good luck.
Niether role is ever told who is in the mafia nor can they ever chat with, simular to how a mafia traitor works. Also Lynching is sometimes the only way these roles will change alignement meaning getting night killed will kill them for good as whatever alignment they currently have. The could potentially never switch in that scenario. When either role first dies, the player is ressurected. All other players in the game will learn of the ressurection but they will not learn the players real role or new alignment value at the time of the first death.You are a Judas. You are currently aligned with the Town. It is your job to help eliminate all threats to the town's safety. When you are first lynched or nightkilled you will be ressurected as Mafia where your new win condition will to help lynch the town so that your side out numbers the town or nothing can be done to prevent this. If you die a second time after this, you are dead for good without your win condition changing again. Good luck.
I suppose you could notify the mafia of a possible judas or saulus in play at the gam'es start but I've never seen that specifically done in a game I've been in.

Then perhaps you are looking for this:
http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Usurper
Sometimes the Usurper can gain all the powers the GF once had when the GF dies (Inocent on investigations and possible NK imunity). If the GF dies after the Usurper or the Mafia wins before the GF's death, then the Usurper looses regardless of whether the rest of the mafia wins. If GF dies, Usurper dies, and then the other members survive and win, The Entire mafia wins.You are aMafia Usurperwith XXXX, YYYY, etc, and ZZZZZ (Mafia Godfather). You my chat with them at night in order to select and kill a member of the town. The one who sends me the action does the kill. You win the the game if you outlive ZZZZZ and your side takes control or outnumbers the other players in the game. ZZZZZ can die in anyway while your alive in order to help fufill this win condition. Good luck.
GF can sometimes be told there is a Usurper but not who it is. When this happens the GF has to find and eliminate the treacherous usurper in his team's rankings in order to win. The Usurper always knows who the GF is at the game start.Last edited by PokerFace on Sat Feb 14, 2009 3:55 am, edited 1 time in total.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I really like the Stalker's win condition. Simular to Treacherous Lovers cept no night Chat and you can see watch and track stuff. So its like the half way point between Mafia Spy and Mafia Treacherous Lover. Does the Stalkee know he's being stalked? I assume no
The 2 lawyers should probably be able to be any alignment based on game setup. Otherwise if someone anounces/postsDefend:TargetorProsecute: Targetin thread, that basically confirms the poster as town or scum imediatly to everyone. The Prosecuter could only use the skill followed by an imediate lylo hammer or else town should quick lynch him for he's obv scum. Defender being able to auto confirm can hurt mafia bigtime in the end too. So its best you allow the winconditions to be interchangeable. Both skills and ideas kick butt otherwise. Can add interesting depth to a game esentially giving a Prosecutor a double vote and the Defendant an anti-vote.
Police Pet is pretty cool. Killing bombs or PGO's hurt scum; now they got to avoid killing another target. Should probably make its skill only activate if its killed at night otherwise Town can mislynch a player and get no night penalty. If you lynch wrong town should always pay by going to night in my opinion. Either way, only NK activation or both activation, its still a pretty interesting oposite of the princess roleWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Indeed a game like that should be run.
If you want to make the Stalker mafia then you can have it be guilty otherwise if only the Stalkee is the mafia, then have stalkee turn up scum and stalker turn up nuetral (thirdparty) or inocent. If niether is mafia don't have either show up guilty. Only have someone show up scum if they are. Otherwise you may be over complicating this thing making it more difficult for it to win the game.
If Stalker and stalkee both alive when town wins and astalkee is town then they win with the town. If they are both mafia and both are alive then they win when/with the scum victory. If one mafia and other isn't, if both live they can win with the rest of the scum at end game or if all other scum and town are dead then they win as a pair by themselves (treacherous lover like), everyone else looses. Probably gonna need them to know each other withot nightchat in that last scenario because scum stalkee might have differing oppion on whether or not they want to kill their stalker vs win with them, though since scum don't always know if their is a traitor helping them, you could probably still find a way to work it.
I'd personally only allow stalkee town, stalker nuetral or inocent revealed third party; basically stalker wins with stalkee and town when rest of town wins or I'd make only the stalkee mafia and now the thirdParty stalker has to help the mafia in order to win like a mafia spy cept stalkee or stalker death means a loss for the stalker. Inocent Stalker with Mafia Stalkee probably adds most depth.
There may also be some interesting scenarios where you can have the stalker die, stalkee live and somehow still have the stalker win in admiration terms, they some how want the best for their stalkee even if they aren't with them but that's probably getting too much into an anti-lyncher type appeal so altered investigations and win conditions both overcomplicate things and only done in really difficult setups outside the basic scopesWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Copy of a role in one of Glork's games (I forgot exact game):
A role of my own design:You are aMillitant. Get killed at night by scum or survive til the end of the game to win with any faction. Good LuckYou are aGood-willed Jester. You win with any faction by getting yourself lynched during the day only after previously lynching one player who was scum. You must have been on said players wagon when he was lynched.

F11 can usually have a mafia roleblocker sometimes. Is that in the setup with the super cop?
Quote:
Otherwise Fenchurch is correct, you should have SuperCop claim day 1. Test lynch someone if anyone counters. Once real SuperCop is found, you can play follow cop to possibly find the only 2 mafiosos. I don't have all math figured out based on 25% double kills but there is still high chance town can win like that effectivelyLast edited by PokerFace on Wed Mar 04, 2009 4:02 pm, edited 2 times in total.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Sorry about a little bad grammar in my last post. Ok let me think of the best way to put this...
First can you tell me is your F11 just like ours except for the cops?
There can be a mafia roleblocker, but it is not gauranteed.
There can be a Super Cop, but it is not gauranteed.
There can be a doc, but it is not gauranteed.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Ah ok that changes things. I can't remember the last time I played a normal semi-open game like any of the newbie games. I haven't played a C9 or F11 game in awhile so I forgot about how there could or could not be a doctor and how variable the roleblocker is. So I got to revise the breaking strategy here, since you are right it can't be done on day 1 with roleblockers alive.
Let's say you lynch the Roleblocker Day 1.
One townie max dies overnight you got 7 players on day 2, 1 is a goon.
On day 2 If there is a supercop he should claim. If there is none then plan fails.
Assuming there is one, you test his claim by lynching him. If he lives he is legit.
Doc does not need to come out. He exists to keep his mouth shut and stop kills maybe
You no lynch on day 2, cop gets a sane investigation
If investigation is an inocent then he tells no one, otherwise you lynch scum to win
You no lynch on day 3, cop gets a sane investigation
If investigation is an inocent then he tells no one, otherwise you lynch scum to win
This process continues til SC finds scum with a guilty, or via process elimination of everybody else is inocent.
By the time there are only 3 players left, the SC is confirmed town and highly likly to have at least 1 investigation on the 2 other guys alive with him. That investigation will reveal if one player is scum and if he ain't then the other is. And the SC is gauranteed town and sane. The scum can't win a 3 player endgame where there is a confirmed sane cop with an investigation. Town wins.
F11 can be 4 ways
2 goons and cop
2 goons and doc
1 goon, 1 rb, nothing
1 goon, 1 rb, doc, cop
In your SC setup with an unkillable cop, town can really break and win things in that fourth scenario pending a rb lynch on day 1.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Oh yay your right Fenchurch, BUT then doc could die over night. Cop would die next.
Also let's say RB is lynched day 1 in F11 BUT WITHOUT SUPER COP. Regular cop claims. How do you know that guy is a cop and not lying scum? Setup could have no doc and no cop at all. Since you can't test lynch the cop to see if he is legit, the only way else to prove cop is legit is to have the doc come out wich would thus confirm the roles in the setup. And that would lead to doc and then cop deaths overnight.
F11 can be as easy as pie ONLY WITH the Super Cop. You are not all the way correct there Empking.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Good point mith. Though if town ain't smart enough to mass claim to verify cop at that late in the game. The mafia wins and deserves to win for epic town stupidity.
(Saw this happen on irc where mass claim is usually common place. Game had newbs not fully understanding of what F11 was. I explained it to them in a fashion that benefitted me as scum and better convinced them of my claim. I died laughing.)When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I agree with the last 2 posters on that aspect aswell. %working roles in general bother me aswell. But let's get this thread back on topic.
What do you guys think of this role? I think its the best one I posted in this threadPokerFace wrote:Sidekick- When the game starts choose one of the following town power roles: Cop, Doc, Vig, Role Blocker, etc. At night you may check one target player and see if they are the town power role you have chosen to search for. You may not talk with any player about this game outside of the game thread since you are not scum. You win with the town when all threats to its safety have been eliminated. Good luckModnotes - To add dimension to the role you may add roles that aren't in the setup to the role choice list. You can also mess with its sanity if you wanted to turn this into a worst role. You can also add the condition that should the sidekick die, all players will learn what you chose to search for.
Should the user pick a role in the setup, the user can now effectivly help that player defend from lynches. Should they pick Cop and find a cop, they will know to look for bread crumbs from that player and to support their suspicions during the game.
You could make certain variants of this role like "Cop Finder" suspifically. Should the mafia then later on kill the "Cop Finder", they will now have depth to try and find the cop based on who the finder buddied up too. So esentially the cop finder would be almost a guard to a king. And should the finder have not found the cop or there isn't a cop in the setup, now the mafia will be sent on a bastardize chase for the cop.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

This part pretains mainly to reveal and choice. Do you want to reveal the role as:SuperCop wrote:
So this is like a Cop except he has to "call the ball and the pocket."PokerFace wrote:Sidekick- When the game starts choose one of the following town power roles: Cop, Doc, Vig, Role Blocker, etc. At night you may check one target player and see if they are the town power role you have chosen to search for.

And he can come out any time?
I think I'll suggest this for our next larger game.
Tough to say if a general "SideKick" or a specific "Cop Finder" would be better.
Sidekick killed night 1or
Sidekick(To Cop) killed night 1or
CopFinder killed night 1
Revealing it as the first one says nothing about anyone they may have interacted with the entire game. While the other two tell other players there is a XXX in play and the sidekick may have found or buddied up to them. Also if you want the sidekick to no matter what support a cop without the player getting to choose which role they support at the start of the game, you might as well call him Cop Finder.
The role is considered sane should it only be able to find town cops. Nothing happens if it checks a mafia cop. It can essentially find only one specific player inocent the entire game. and lern from them as their sidekick.
The sidekick can only interect with his found choice in thread. He can't talk to him outside of the game and or at nightWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

(Combined doc/watcher variant; if someone tries to kill a person you're protecting, he will be PM'd a choice; EITHER he runs away, in which case the kill fails, OR he goes ahead and kills anyway, in which case the kill succeeds but you find who the killer is. Either way, it's the killer's choice if he would rather be prevented from killing or identified.)When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

In order to compliment this role like how Macho Cop is complimented by Unlicensed Doc, I have thought of the following variantPokerFace wrote:
Inspiration: CEScum rules!You are anAddictive Cop. You may investigate any player at night in order to learn if they are scum via an inocent or guilty read. You know that you are sane but if you are targeted by a doctor your results for that night could be wrongly influenced.You win with the town when all scum are elimnated. Good luck.
Mod Notes -
if Cop is protected from a kill, his result will be paranoia
if Cop is protected and not targeted for a kill, his result will be naive
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 72#1363572You are aPharmacist. You may protect any player at night from a kill. You know yourself to be sane but pending the success rate of your medications, your patients might not always be. You win with the town when all scum are elimnated. Good luck.
Mod Notes -
if patient (Cop, other?) is protected from a kill, the patient's resulting action will be paranoid
if patient (Cop, other?) is not protected from a kill, the patient's resulting action will be naiveCan't decide if paranoid vs naive frequency is quite right for both:
1. Should getting shot but living make them paranoid of being shot again, what about not getting shot, does that mean not knowing?
OR You can make an argument for the other way around
2. They expected an attack but did not get one so are paranoid and they survived but don't know about it so are naive.
Is it good the way it is or should it be switched for both of them? Are names of each role good or is there something better? You think wording of flavor effecting sanity on each is good enough on both roles or should it be more or less vague?
Edit: Another good name for Additive Cop could be something along the lines of Narcotic Investigator or Narcotic Officer.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Some things for malthusis to think about:
any point passsing infor through the mod other than to make sure there is only one?
So snoop and shady both know who each other are with XXX listing. should you flat out tell them their partner is confirmed, will gain powers when partner dies, and or show up guilty?
also there already is a role called actor.
http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Actor
what you described is simular to tarhalindur's replaceable townie in that when you die, you instead replace yourself with an alt and can't say who you were. People gonna wonder WTF when a new plkayer joins the game so mod flavor there would be interesting. Give it a different name and think up good flavor and i think 'your' actor role could be kinda cool.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

If the role is meant to be funny or bad instead of awesome or interesting then it should be in the Worst Role Ideas thread. There's alot of cool or humorous roles theremillar13 wrote:that the whole point of the role lol...a bit like being a Miller of A suicide on NK1When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Two super strong Mafia roles that can be stopped only by blockers and redirectors
Tarhalidur ran something simular to this^ in his later mind screws and I had something simular in Bastard Face MafiaYou are aMafia Death Framer. Other people in your mafia include XXXXXXX. You may talk with each other and send in kills at night. The one who sends me the kill will perform it. You have a one shot ability you may use once as you perform the mafia kill. If your kill is successful on only your intended target, you will be able to make your target turn up any role or alignment of your choosing during the next morning reveal. You win when your faction controls a majority of the town and nothing can be done to prevent this. Good Luck.
Fuck Mass Claimers^You are theMafia Weapons Specialist. Other people in your mafia include XXXXXXX. You may talk with each other and send in kills at night. The one who sends me the kill will perform it. You indidiviually may also target any player. If you can guess what role they have, you will be able to control the use of their role action for that night.
Example:
If your target is a vidge, they will kill any player you want
If your target is a cop, they will get the alignment result of any player you want.
If your target is a jail keeper, they will jail whoever you want them to that night.
If you get blocked, get redirected, or you guess incorrectly, you will not be able to control their action. None of these statements or examples gaurantees any of these roles are in the setup. You win when your faction controls a majority of the town and nothing can be done to prevent this. Good Luck.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Something to add to the wide net cop discussion.
From "Read your Role Mafia"
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 88#1388888
Which-of-these-is-not-like-the-other Cop
As a child, you spent way too much time watching Sesame Street. You have a Snuffleupagus plushie to keep you company at night, and a rubber duckie for the bathtub. You also have become particularly adept at telling when two things are not the same.
Each night, you may investigate one player. You may not investigate yourself. Your result from this investigation will invariably be either “Exact Same” or “Not the Exact Same”. Your first investigation will get a “Not the Exact Same”.
You win with the town when all Mafiates, Serial Killers, and Cultists are dead and somebody with this exact same win condition as you is still alive.
Good luck, and have fun! Be sure to read the rules of the game. Confirm your role by PM.
Special Note(s): If a player you investigate has the exact same alignment as the player you investigated the previous night, you will receive a result of “Exact Same”. Otherwise, you will receive a result of “Not the Exact Same”. If you are role-blocked (or otherwise stopped from receiving a result), you will receive a “Not the Exact Same” result. If something were to cause this to happen a second time in a row, you will receive an “Exact Same” alignment. Necessarily, if you are blocked one night and not the next, you will automatically get a “Not the Exact Same” result, as you will be comparing something to nothing.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

I got a couple of interesting ideas. Best pro-town play for a miller is to get killed at night. These are 3 interesting roles to that end.
You are a Tortured Soul. Life has never been fair to you, and your troubled past continues to haunt you. You are seen as guilty by investigation. You win if you die at night. Good LuckYou are a Troubled Bodyguard. You regret the hardships you have caused others in the past. You want to make it up to everyone even if it costs you your life. You are seen as guilty by investigation. You may bodyguard one player at night. If they are to be killed at night, you will die instead. You win with the town when all threats to its safety have been eliminated. Good Luck.
If you want to suggest better names for any of these roles, I'd apreciate it.You are a Wicked Bodyguard. You regret the hardships you have caused others in the past. You want to make it up to everyone even if it costs you your life. You are seen as guilty by investigation. You may bodyguard one player at night. If they are to be killed at night, you will die and so will their attacker instead. You win with the town when all threats to its safety have been eliminated.

You are aHot Nurse. You've used your good looks to go much further in med school than any other nurse. You can roleblock or doc protect one player each night. You can't do both on the same night. You win with the town when all threats to its safety have been eliminated. Good LuckYou areJailbait, an underage individual with the body of a sexy adult. Any player that targets you at night will be role blocked and doc protected. You win with the town when all threats to its safety have been eliminated.

Well yes, I suppose. Especially since there is another role in that same post that was of my own design (Jailbait). You are correct in terms of clarifications. Still it was not my intention to take credit for xyl's role. My intention was to post some good blocking/docing roles in that post and that is what this thread is about.Mr. Flay wrote:PokerFace wrote:

You are aSane Cop. This is a broken role that instantly gets accurate results at night without having to scumhunt. As such you are not in this game or any game of actual challenge. You win when the browns win the superbowl. Good luckWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
