Worst role ideas?

[zoraster]

You are an

Absolute Miller

. If a cop investigates you, then you will be seen a guilty. If a gunsmith checks you, he will think you have a gun. If a tracker targets you he will see you got to anyone that dies at night. You cannot claim miller or Absolute Miller during the game or you will be modkilled. You will be revieled as scum when you die. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. Good luck

Other than the part about not being able to claim or you get mod killed (always a bad strategy), I don't see why this role is so bad.

You're a Doctor with no transportation. Each night you may try to get a ride from any player. If that player targets someone, you will protect their target. You win when you pay off your student loans and credit card debt.

Is it bad that I really like this role?

[zoraster]

Specific trumps general. It doesn't need fixing anyway because the intent is clear.

This.

Also, I have no idea what you mean by compulsive townie or how that'd make sense.

[zoraster]

You are a member of the

chess mafia

, along with X and Y. You may talk to them at night. Your group does not have a night kill.

Your scum group wins if this game takes more then 18 months to complete.

hahahaha

As a mod, I usually avoid things that make my life hell.

I think you may be confused at what a lightning rod and reflexive does. It generally attracts every power to itself. Reflexive means it activates when targetted. So in this case, it means that as soon as the LR is targetted, it's suddenly targetted by all powers.

I think maybe what you mean is a reflexive lightning rodizer.

[zoraster]

I think what he's describing is kind of like a mirror (reflective.... i get where the confusion came from?)

[zoraster]

Question: Reflexive <anything>. Tracker targets. Does the reflexive <anything> visit the person who visited him?

If so, and you put a reflexive tracker and a tracker in the game, how many times do they visit each other if the tracker visits the reflexive tracker.

this thread took a turn for the awesome.

Although technically, shouldn't it be: "You are Muhammad. You win if the mountain comes to you."

[zoraster]

But that's the saying... "If the Mohammad won't go to the mountain, the mountain will come to Mohammad."

[zoraster]

hmm too bad. it was more interesting the other way.

EDIT: But i should add, it does make it make more sense.

[zoraster]

actually, looking it up, there seem to be a lot of confusion, but I think saulres is correct.
