Worst role ideas?

[quadz08]

Where's the link for said QT?

[quadz08]

Dude, that would be sick. There's a lot of good possibilities there.

[quadz08]

You are

Billy Joel (Failure Arsonist). You didn't start the fire, though you are forced to target one player each night and attempt to start a fire. If you target a firefighter, you lose. You may not target any one player more than twice. You win with the town.

[quadz08]

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

[quadz08]

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

CHAINDEATH

[quadz08]

Neat, bad on two levels that contradict each other.


You are the

player left over when I realised I had no idea how this game is balanced

. I'll give you your win condition some time later, when I've figured out whether this game is townsided or scumsided, in order to help drag it back towards the middle. Until then, just try to stay alive, I guess?

This is actually kind of hilarious, and could be pretty fun in certain theme / bastard games.

Hoopla too good.

[quadz08]

That role is nuts. It could work, but it would be hilariously bastard.

[quadz08]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no you're wrong.

Removing players from a game and replacing them with yourself and/or your friends

is SIGNIFICANTLY more bastard than changing a player's wincon.

[quadz08]

Because the other players don't know that anything has changed. Or at least, have to try and determine if it has. That's what makes it bastard.

[quadz08]

Does this lead to a replacement? Or a modkill?

[quadz08]

You are a "Mason"izer
You can choose a person, and they will become masons with you.
Because they are masons, they are 100%, no-doubts-about-it obvtown, and will flip as such no matter what.

The Godfatherizer QT-Creator.

Sounds like a Tar role >_>

[quadz08]

I think that

Serial Suicidal Doctor

is the true worst role in that vein. (Commits suicide if his protect fails)

[quadz08]

That is actually a not-awful role. Definitely needs a shot or two of BP, but elsewise, that's totally usable in a theme game.

[quadz08]

I assume that it doesn't change per person. He becomes lovers with multiple people at once.

Make him a survivor! TROLOLOLZ

[quadz08]

That's actually moderately interesting.

It kind of sucks, but it's interesting.

[quadz08]

That is particularly hilarious.

[quadz08]

oh dear god that post was the best thing I've ever seen

[quadz08]

Was expecting a stump joke.

If you get lynched, you become a tree stump. Lose vote and is dead for all wincon purposes, but can still talk

How's that?

Why would you talk? You already lost.

[quadz08]

>_>

[quadz08]

The most practical version would be to use this role in Real Life Mafia. Once players die, they move to another room, where they have 5 minutes with the spirit guide (who normally hangs out in there with music on or something.)

Then they move to the dead people room. Or whatever.

[quadz08]

mountain and muhammad are pretty freaking hilarious.

[quadz08]

Darkdeath, Spirit, and Scholar all have their place. Certainly not normal roles (except possibly scholar) but not unusable.

Prince I don't really understand. >_>

[quadz08]

Survivor Joshua

is clearly the best variant.

[quadz08]

You are a

WINnocent Child

.

You are mod-confirmed as town after you win.

You win with the town.

[quadz08]

- innocent child that when activates causes a random townie to die.

A "not so" Innocent child.

This reminds me of a book I read recently...


You are an

Innocent Mason 1-shot bulletproof Child

with XXXXX, who is your identical twin, but not really.

At the start of the game, neither of you will be mod-confirmed town. You will be able to chat in a QT.
However, only one of you is the original Innocent Child; the other is a magical copy. Both of you possess half of a magical locket.
Once both of you PM the mod to join the locket together, the magical copy will die, while the original Innocent Child will live on as a mod-confirmed Innocent Child. If one of you happens to be targetted by a killing ability, the locket will be destroyed and the same thing will happen (the magical copy dies and the original lives on modconfirmed)
You both win with the town.

Not as bad as I thought...

This actually could be quite cool in the right large theme.

[quadz08]

You are a Death notice

As long as you are in the game, all messages about players deaths will be 1 Phase delayed.

I actually kind of like this. Its bastard as hell, but would be an interesting scum PR.

Not bastard, just theme-y. Might be bastard if time shenanigans weren't advertised, I suppose.

[quadz08]

That's actually quite fun.

[quadz08]

That doesn't really count as a worst role at all (except for that fact that it's random).

[quadz08]

That is a not a bad role

If you're looking for a bad role, he's paranoid and is always shown as targeting himself.

[quadz08]

You are the Sol Voter.

If you are lynched or killed, there are no more day phases.

[quadz08]

You are the Sew Voter.

You may only vote for users with fabric referenced in their username or avatar.

[quadz08]

You are the Dole Voter.

You can only vote for Bob Dole. Or tropical fruits.

[quadz08]

You are the wall voter. You may only vote for people who have wallposted within the last page.

[quadz08]

Proper town play when you think someone is a jester is to lynch it anyway, unless it's a game-ending jester, which is just bad moderating.

[quadz08]

You'd want to play it like a survivor, probably.

[quadz08]

innocent child death miller

innocent child traitor

[quadz08]

That is a miserable word. I hate that author.

[quadz08]

That's actually really clever, if obscenely powerful.

[quadz08]

That is definitively a Worst Role.

[quadz08]

MATH

[quadz08]

trololo

[quadz08]

that's not a role

[quadz08]

In Experimental Role Mafia, AGar and I used a Schizophrenic Vigilante, which worked similarly.

[quadz08]

TAKE COVER FROM INCOMING POLITICAL JOKE-ROLES

[quadz08]

<3

[quadz08]

you are missing the joke

[quadz08]

how can you make a jester or supersaint compulsive; one is a wincon, the other is reflexive and is thus effectively compulsive-by-nature.

[quadz08]

It's just a D1 Jester, then. Compulsive is still unnecessary.

[quadz08]

Hidden Compulsive is super-messed up. This is definitely the right thread for that. >_>

Also "dies if does not use night action" is not what I'd call compulsive. "Aggressively OCD" or "Suicidally Compulsive" or something similar would be the term I would choose.

[quadz08]

It doesn't help that you can't refer to them consistently in your description. >_>

[quadz08]

Or maybe you can and it's more confusing than I expect it to be. >_<

[quadz08]

Depends on how exactly it's done.

[quadz08]

You are the

Blackfish

, you just don't ever really win.

[quadz08]

You are

Blackbeard

. YARR

[quadz08]

You are

Blackbird

, singing in the dead of night.

[quadz08]

That's actually a pretty good role that's used semi-regularly

[quadz08]

oh, I missed the wincon change. >_>

[quadz08]

You are a Paranoid Knife Owner.

Whenever anyone visits you, you will try to murder them (in self-defence!) Unfortunately, you're bringing a knife to a gunfight if they're gonna kill you, and it won't work (in self-defence!)

You win with the town.

Heh. Thats kind of awesome actually.

That is a legitimately interesting role. PGO that fails on kill attempts. Nice.

[quadz08]

^ scum role is where it's beneficial, particularly in multiball. Could make an interesting 3rd party too.
