Worst role ideas?

[gorckat]

Prove he was actually

thinking

when he posted that. Clearly he wasn't, since if he had read his PM correctly or had it in mind while posting, he would have thought, "This post will kill me!"

vote: Yosarian

[gorckat]

Moon Worshipper

You are a Moon Worshipper. All of those sun worshippers are insane, and you're out to kill them and prove that the Moon is better. If someone posts during the day, they are a sun worshipper. You win if, at the end of the game, all sun worshippers are dead and you are alive.

So they lose on their first post....nasty

[gorckat]

Butterfingers: You have a gun, but you're clumsy and shooting it scares you. You may target one person each night. If you do you will drop the gun and it will go off. There is a chance you will kill your target, yourself, someone your target targeted, someone who targeted your target, or no one at all.

[gorckat]

/in Yos's bastard moddery game

[gorckat]

You are

The Rope

:

You may only vote once per game. Your vote will lynch the person you vote for immediately. If you die, the town may no longer lynch people, as they will have no rope.

You win with the town.

[gorckat]

You are

The Avatar:

All your posts must be a GIF or PNG image file not larger than 100x100 or 30KB. Posts may be animated. You may not use fonts in the creation of your images- buy a tablet or use the mouse to write words.

[gorckat]

So the only word allowed is "ook"...that could be a frustrating yet entertaining exercise in degrees:

ook=yes
OOK=no

ook

=strong yes

OOK

=strong no

And so on and so forth...with 3 letters, caps and lower for each, bold, italics, underline, strike, quote tags, alignment, size...its possible to construct the 26 letter alphabet and a few extra states for simple things like yes/no, vote, unvote and individual names (in a 12-person game, maybe more).

I say lynch'em day one just to get it over with.

[gorckat]

Here are some wrestling related ones:

You are

Koko B-Ware

. You are scum with a bird named

Frankie

. If Frankie dies, you may bring a new player into the game as

Frankie Jr

. You can't win if

Owen Hart

is dead.

[gorckat]

You are

No Thumbs Person

. You have no thumbs, which makes it hard to tie knots, handle rope and pull the trigger on the .38 caliber gun you carry. You may vote, but any person you are voting for will need an additional vote to be lynched. If your vote would normally be "the hammer", the day will end with No-Lynch while everyone fusses with the rope and the sun sets.

You win with the town.

[gorckat]

You are the

Labyrinth

Shahrazad.

That's what you meant, right?

[gorckat]

Suicider: Kills itself night 1.

Hmm...

You are a chaos-demon possessed townie. Each night, the demon will kill you and find a new host. If you are lynched during the day, the demon dies, too (can't stand the sun). You win with the town.

(Mod finds a new Player to take over the role each day, right out of the queue.)

Would probably lead to apathy. Might be tweakable into something useful.

[gorckat]

I must be descending into a carb coma because I can't make heads or tails of that.

It must be the worst role ever, because it obviously does

something

, but since I can't figure it out, I'd probably just play as a vanilla

[gorckat]

You are a

Sneaky Bastard

who hates wishy-washy pansies who frit about all day and change their mind often. Your first post each game day must be a vote for another living player, which will remain in effect for the whole day, even if you unvote and vote another player which, incidentally, you must do each post.

If a player you did not use your first post vote on is at -1, you must vote for them (even though it will not count) if you post or you will be modkilled.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

[gorckat]

You are

a frightened deer

. You may not post if anyone is voting for you. You win if you survive.

Self-vote and forget that game

[gorckat]

You are

John McCain

. You are a Republican. A conservative Republican. Who is sometimes liberal.

You win with the Republicans, but only if you get lynched with the hammer vote made by a Democrat.

[gorckat]

You're a

Tweaker

with a letter obsession. Every time you post, you must place all the letters in the previous post before yours in alphabetical order before you add any content (This includes punctuation symbols and numbers. Don't forget tag codes and their brackets!)

I'll tell you when the thread will be open for play. You'd better be first to post and you'd better have the opening post sorted correctly or it's gonna be a bad day.

Mod note: failing to post first will result in the Tweaker's pusher being modkilled and additional restrictions added to the Tweaker daily.

[gorckat]

On the same lines:

You are a

Mason-Traitor

. You may not communicate with your mafia partners (

X

and

Y

), but you win with them, even if you are dead. They do not know who you are. You may communicate at Night with your Mason Partner,

Z

.

You are a

Mason-Cop

. You may communicate at night with your partner,

A

. You win with the town.

Mod note 1: Masons are siblings and if one dies, so will the other one.
Mod note 2: Masons are bombs exploding on any night action targeting them.

I imagine the traitor outing the cop at a key moment or in twilight to try and secure the win- next thing you know 3+ people blow up!

[gorckat]

[quote="KaleiÐoscøpe"]Selfvoting is stupid. You're voting the person you're 100% sure he's on your side.[/quote]

You're a

Very Uncertain Person

. You might win with the town, perhaps the mafia or even some other faction, and possibly not even yourself. Its all very disconcerting, this lynching thing, and it gives you panic attacks. Good luck!

[gorckat]

(Game: College Dorm Mafia)

You are

Jesus Pepperoni Eyes

. You've been locked up in a freezer on a bed of frozen dough, sauce, cheese and pepperoni for the last two years. The pizza now resembles the face of jesus.

Any action by a college student targeting you will lead them to discover the pizza. They will be given the choice to bake you and then eat you. If they do, they will be saved (body of Christ and stuff). If they choose not to eat you, they could still sell you on Ebay, effectively killing you for the purposes of this game.

You win if you survive to the endgame, whereupon you will get to work on the Second Coming thing.

[gorckat]

You are

Cassandra.

I'll let you in on something: there aren't actually any scum in this game. I pick a random townie to kill every night to simulate mafia. You're the only person who knows that everybody's town. You win if you can convince the town to No Lynch three times in a row, and you lose if you die, or if you survive to endgame without filling your win condition.

That is absolutely awesome. Bravo.

[gorckat]

Pessimist should be -1 to lynch period. And always starts the day self-voting

[gorckat]

I'd love to read that endgame between him and a Goon.

Goon: Oh, cool! I get to daykill the last player!

DAYKILL: Bob

Bob: Winner winner chicken dinner!
Goon:...

[gorckat]

can place whatever limitations on their usage you want.

On A: Kill B or die
On C: Kill D or die

[gorckat]

You are Nervous Nelly. Every time someone votes, you must quote the vote and ask "Are you sure?". Whenever someone unvotes you must quote the unvote and say "Oh, thank goodness!".

You win with the Town, but only if you were either NK'd or are alive at the end of the game.

[gorckat]

You are Japanese Tentacle-bewb-girl.
If you post in the game, the mod will edit it to contain graphic hentai, which will cause everyone else to die.
You win if anyone can not be violently sick when looking at your posts.

For purely, uh...legitimate, erm...research (!) into that roles, ah...balance (yeah), perhaps you could forward me the pics you're planning on using?

[gorckat]

That'd be a fun endgame (Goon, SK, Townie)...if the townie is lynched, does the Goon get abducted into oblivion (SK win?), or would the Goon killing the SK make everyone else come back and lynch the Goon

[gorckat]

You are

Antagonistic Guy

.

You must use the "##vote:XYZ" format, even thought its not required in this game. You must use ## when FOSing, voting, IGMEOYing- anything with an acronym or an otherwise standard mafia action.

At the end of the day, if you used ## every time I think you should have (I have a list of actions it's required, and no- I'm not sharing), then you must kill someone who accused you of using ## to piss off the other players.

However, if a majority of players have accused you of using ## to piss off the mod, then I'll play along and you'll be dead in the morning.

If you missed an incident of ## usage, then I'll tell a random player during the night that you targeted them for death and give them a chance to kill you.

You win with the town, but only if you're alive and the majority of survivors think you were trying to piss them off.

[gorckat]

I feel like we should point Myko to that role for his 50 player mafia.

Jester Titanic

Day 1 lynch FTW would be a thing of beauty.

[gorckat]

You are

Descending Into Madness

each real world day you lose one letter from the alphabet or must replace a letter with a symbol. You will receive a PM each real morning between 6:00 and 9:00 am (my time- the Elder Gods are fickle. Figure it out) with details. You may not post after 6:00 am until you receive the message. If you haven't received it by 9:00, you may post as the day before but only in caps and italics until you receive the update. You must end each post with either "Praise" or "Fear" follwed by a random name from here.

Beware- Motha-zhana will eat your soul and modkill you if you can't keep this straight.

You win when you prevent the

Elder God

from awakening.

The Virgin

must not die.

[gorckat]

The inept would be stupid to use as town, and

scum would have a hard time wriggling out of it if they used it more than once

.

A scumbag could survive a day by using it constantly till deadline if the day was nearly over

Yes. If it's unlimited-shot, it's game breaking. I was kind of assuming no sane mod would put that in a game.

Add a

0-vote vig

that can only daykill if no votes are in place, maybe with a second role that resets votes.

[gorckat]

That's actually kind of awesome...some people hate cults and would rather die, so double mean if they get targeted

[gorckat]

You're a

TWAT

...Talking With Acronyms Townie. Your posts may only contain acronyms, playernames and the words "vote" and "unvote". You win with the town.

[gorckat]

That is awesome.

[gorckat]

Actually, it's not yet a worst role.

It needs to be done in a game that requires YouTube videos with faces.

[gorckat]

You are a

Part of the Whole

. If you are killed in this game, you will immediately be killed in any other game you're playing in.

I love it.

It would server to make you more motivated to look town for sure.

Alternately- Give the role to people in several games killing each player in the whole when one of them dies (rather than one person in all their games).

[gorckat]

Best strategy would be for everyone to just No Lynch so they could all become it and win, though, wouldn't it?

Make the game must lynch, but don't tell the players.

The first "surprise" lynch will be the player with the most votes. Reasonable.

Then they all try to no-vote to get around it.

And you roll dice right in the thread.

[gorckat]

You are the

Cleaning Lady

...if you get the 409th post in the game (with out being posts 400-408), you gain the "You win with the town" win condition, you can put a Bounty on someone's head during the night (that person will be killed by someone else in the game) and maybe change the Tide of the game...if you don't have the 409th post you can't do your job and INS will deport you.

This turned into a theme role "/

Pun mafia?

Post number mafia...roles to include:

Prime Directive- can only post when the post number is prime and cannot start wagons (something about altering the fate of players by your hand or something- I'll let a Trekkie do a better job)

Fibonacci- can only post if the post number is in the Fibonnaci sequence and word count must be the post number*2

Odd miller/Even godfather-traitor- if the hammer is in an odd post they were a townie miller, even a mafia traitor. Investigation results by odd/even night.

The Perfect Square- Only in posts 1^2, 2^2, 3^2 etc and must include: 1 vote, 1 fos, 1 null read and 1 town read. Only.

[gorckat]

Assign the roles but only give win-cons Night 0 and full powers Night 1.

[gorckat]

You're

Lost but have a GPS

. Your posts may not be in the game thread, but somewhere else. MD, SI, other sites, in pictures on Imgur- somewhere else. You can only post links to your posts in the game thread and votes. Votes outside the game thread will not count. You win with TURN LEFT

NOW

! RECALCULATING...

[gorckat]

You Know Too Much

. The following words are in the Role PMs: <link to word cloud image where size of word relates to frequency>. You win if you correctly recreate all the PMs of the players and assign them to the players in the game.

Note- Wincon reveal only (ie, Town, Mafia or Third Party, not exact wording) and word cloud is made after running all PMs from English -> Spanish -> Chinese (Traditional) -> English.

Here's a role PM from a completed game:

[gorckat]

You're the

Inquisitor

? You always speak in questions? And you win with the town? How long do you think you'll live? Do you think you'll die if every sentence you type is not in the form of a question?

[gorckat]

How about taking 13 roles from unrelated Theme games that don't rely on wonky mechanics and tossing them in to the same game with no warning?

There's got to be a way to make a Theme Soup viable.

[gorckat]

That's not worst- that's awesomest, especially since it is worded as "can"

To make it Worst, but still fun, we have to make it a "must" and set the wincon to something like "You win if only you and your most recent lover are alive".

[gorckat]

Brilliant! We could make a "stereotypical sexual characters" theme game!

Assign each role a gender, as well.

You are

Threesome Tommy

. You've been trying to hook up with two chicks since that time in 10th grade when...

You gain self confidence by hooking up and when you gain confidence, you gain

abilities

such as:

-If you are targeted by a female, you steal her role power the next night as long as she is alive

-If you are targeted by a male, you gain a post restriction the following day where you must:
--compliment the targeting male on every page you post and end the post "No homo"
--make at least 3 compliments the next game day or you gay (genders will reverse as far as they affect your confidence)

-If you are targeted by a male and a female, you steal her role power the next night (regardless of whether or not she lives)

{Mod note}

-If you are targeted by two females, you steal both of their powers and can choose to use one during the day and the other the next night or both the next night

-If you are targeted by more than one male and no females...dude, it ain't worth living. You die.

{Mod note}

In this circumstance, the targeting male is asked "Yes/No". Failure to answer is a default Yes. If Yes, Threesome Tommy becomes a vanilla townie unless targeted by the Muscle Car Hood Slut before the end of the game.

Mod Note to self not on paper and totally bastardly: The question is "Do their balls touch?"

(Good grief, I'm juvenile)

[gorckat]

What about:

Cop gone bad can change the result of buddy cop's investigation.

Buddy cop is told when this happens.

[gorckat]

You are

Rapid Onset Dementia and Schizophrenia Cop

.

You

are

the vote. Each night phase your hyperdimensional solarsoul is able to transcend the The Orbital Mobius Strip doglaw lurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee, able to ႣႯႦႿტჭႨႬ any player's role in a liminal state. However, being roleblocked means a cavernous yaw opens beneath you and you was swallowed into my own nightmare.

You win the game when all members of anti-town factions are stuck in a room with a mean-looking dwarf who keeps kicking them in the shins.

For reference, you are able to produce a photo of yourself for roleclaim purposes.

Modnote: House of Leaves Mafia needs to be a thing

/in

[gorckat]

You're a

Midget with a Complex

. Mafia bullets will go over your head (as will most jokes) but an SK's knife will punch you in the face.

You can't ever mention the existence of an SK or talk about kill methods. Your posts must have at least ten lines of text, each line being at least one complete sentence.

I know its a tall order, but I'm sure you're up to it. Have at it, big boy!

[gorckat]

You are

Blacklisted

. You win when all players have requested your replacement in the same game day.

[gorckat]

What about something like:

Alignment JOAT

- You have the following abilities: a one-shot townie, a one-shot goon, one-shot survivor, and a one-shot cultist. You have no alignment at the beginning of the game and can only win once you have used all of your abilities and reach the win condition of the final used shot. You flip whatever alignment you used last.

That's pretty awful yet fun looking.

[gorckat]

You are a

Jester Miller

. You have no alignment at the beginning of the game. If you're investigated by a cop, you return "No Result". If you're lynched, you flip as a Jester and the mod announces you won and have left the game. You win with whatever faction is lynched next. If there are no further lynches, you lose.

We're working towards a variable win con game that could actually make a bit of sense.

[gorckat]

Um Hoopla. Isn't true love an 8p game or is there a lonely VT in there

You are a

Spinster

. In a game full of lovers, you are all alone. In every post you must bemoan not having any lovers. Each night you may search a lover to see if they have a cat. You win if you find it.

You are a

Cat

. You're proud and independent. As such you have no voice or vote in the game. You have a nice life living with <lover1> and <lover2> and each night you switch between their houses. You have a private QT with each of them where you can discuss the game with whoever you're with that night. But if the one you're with that night is killed, you are too. You win if you survive to the end of the game and avoid being grabbed by the spinster.

Cat is awesome. Alternating neighbor QTs? Fun, esp if they move targets each night.

[gorckat]

Toss in a Snoop (who can target one player each night and read anything they posted in a QT [via copy and paste so no link]) and you're cooking with something fun.

[gorckat]

This kills the PGOiser.

[gorckat]

What does the reflexive modifier do? Target the person targeting the doc?

[gorckat]

So...12 man game, 4 scum and an SK...let the scum figure out that they're killing themselves and try to win via lynching? Sucks to be the SK there

ADD: Make the SK a possessor demon who converts the target (demon leaves the hosts body and enters the target).

[gorckat]

That is cruel.

[gorckat]

"You've been targeted by another player. Do you wish to remove them from the game or block their action?"

[gorckat]

You left off Compulsive Macho Miller...

[gorckat]

You are a

Delayed Sniper Vigilante

. Each night, you can choose a player. They will die on the corresponding night of the next game they play with the same moderator.

Team Mafia possibility?

[gorckat]

Needs more Molehill.

[gorckat]

You are a

Hydra

. You are composed of XXX and YYY. If you are killed, then you won't die. However, XXX will no longer be allowed to use your account. Instead, AAA and BBB will join the Hydra. If you are killed again, YYY will no longer be allowed to use your account, but CCC and DDD will join the hydra. Repeat ad nauseum.

You win if no one calls for your removal from the game, and no one bitches about hydras. In any thread, anywhere on the forum.

You marvelous bastard.

[gorckat]

You are a

Memory

. The game has forgotten you, mostly. You will be listed in the player list and can only post if someone mentions you the game thread. You may only post once per player mention per day and only before the player mentioning you posts again. Quotes do not count. You win with the town.

ADD: Once the player who mentioned you has posted again, your post will be edited blank.

[gorckat]

LYLO, claim cop, claim guilty but withhold voting until they can respond in case they're a miller or you're insane.

[gorckat]

The Observer should not split until either it will be lynched or the game gets to MYLO/LYLO.

Pretty cool...maybe a scum counterpart would be a role that fuses two players into a hydra...like CyberBob and UberNinja.

[gorckat]

To flip town and keep the day open.

[gorckat]

Recovering Alcoholic is awesome.

[gorckat]

Twist: It's a 3-man game with 9 alts played by the mod.

[gorckat]

You are

The Mafia Dewey Decimal System

. All posts referenced by another player (whether a post in this game or not and including quotes) must be categorized, by you, using the following system:

AA (2-letter code referring to the site name)
AAA (3-letter code referencing game size and type: M-Micro, N- Normal, L-Large / N-Normal, T-Theme, E-Experimental / C-Closed, O-Open, S-Semi-open)
##### (5 digit code using leading zeros for on-site game number)
##### (5 digit code using leading zeroes for in-game post number)
AAAA (First four characters of the poster's name)
(r) (Indicates the post was made by a replacement for another player)
(x) (Indicate the post was made by a replaced player)
(c) (Indicates post includes a claim)

As an example, this post would be coded as:

MS.NNC.00504.00475.OMAN(c)

Each day your first post must include the game's entire catalog of references. (Spoiler tags, please- I'm reading this game, too!)

Each post you make must include the catalog entry of any post since your last post.

You may PM other players to get off-site details of posts they reference.

Incomplete data may be marked as an asterix, but only for one post.

If a player you have PM'd for data does not answer you and posts in-game, tell me. I'll mod-kill them.

You win with the town, but only if you are consistent about maintaining your records.

[gorckat]

You are a

Deadline Magnet

. Each time you post, the deadline draws one real world day closer. You win, given enough time.

[Mod note: ALL deadlines are drawn one day closer. Game setup is Night start with fixed deadlines and terminal everyone dies end date.]

I didn't have it to hand, but it's here.

Posts 14 and 15 are two of the best posts ever.

Doctor targets scummy people, sort of jelps town,

[gorckat]

You are

a Mafia Inviter

Each night, you must PM me the name of one town player. That player will be given a link to the scum QT.

Could be fun if the scum didn't use their MS names for QT and threw in references to killing themselves / running uyp mislynches on themselves.

[gorckat]

Oh, wow, that is like reverse bastard.
