Worst role ideas?

[Lyrebird]

Random one (not very good but oh well):
You are

Hungry

You have 3 pieces of food in your pantry, and every since the gunshots started going off in the night, you've been too scared to stock up more.
Every night, you will attempt to eat some food. If you are targetted with a night action, however, this action will fail.
If you go for 3 nights in a row without eating, you will die of hunger.
You win with the town

Put this in a role-madness mini

[Lyrebird]

You are a

1-shot Townie

. You have no special abilities; but if you

did

, you'd only be able to use them once.

Modnote: After using their one-shot townie, they revert back to being a Mafia goon/third-party

It's like a one-shot Godfatherly ability (appears innocent to investigations)

[Lyrebird]

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?

[Lyrebird]

Anyone done Environmentalist Mafia or something like that? Each vote would be like woodchopping, some people destroy environment by torching stuff etc etc.

It would have to have a new voting mechanic, where you can vote for as many people as you like (but only once per person), but once you vote, you can't 'unvote' that person. The amount of vote required would be quite high, but wold stay the same throughout regardless of the amount of dead people, because the 'votes' from days before would sill be tacked on.

Hmm...
7 trees (VT)
1 nature scientist (cop)
1 tree support thingy (vote remover)
2 chainsaw/arsonist Mafia goons
1 chainsaw/arsonist Mafia with a tree costume (godfather)

You could put in one of those people who chain themselves to trees in protest or a tree-dwelling animals as a one-way lover, or some sort of National Park role that prevents a player from being lynched the next day, or..
/knows nothing about balanced set-ups

[Lyrebird]

You are a

Schizophrenic Cop

. Every night, you may PM the moderator a choice of one person not playing the game that you want to investigate. The moderator will inform you what alignment they would have had had, had they joined the game when it began.

You are a

Black-and-White cop

. You scan Town and Mafia players like a Sane cop, but should you choose to scan a Third-party player/the mod/someone who isn't playing, you'd get the faction they would have been in if not for their lack of commitment. Those lazy party-poopers!

[Lyrebird]

1x Mafia Lead Sheep.
1x Mafia Governor (cannot stop own lynch).

19x Vanilla Townies.

Nightless.

And no mafia? That is truly bastard.

[Lyrebird]

You are not a

Townie

.

Because you live in the city
*gets the picture reference*

[Lyrebird]

I once ran a game based on a lover's theme awhile ago. I paired a jester with a

suicidal lover

. the suicidal lover knew that there was a jester but...

Since when are lovers

not

suicidal?

I don't think this is quite original, but...

You are an

iPod

You have the following abilities:
[insert songs and abilities here]
You win when you are the last person standing.

Modnote: The player will be modkilled instantly upon using any song, because the mod would not subject any of their other players to such horrible music, lest everyone replace out.

[Lyrebird]

- 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...

[Lyrebird]

Mod note: Everyone is a Recovering Alcoholic except for one innocent child

Does that include the Mafia and PRs?
lololololol drunk Mafia nk'ing random person

[Lyrebird]

You are the

Tomato thrower

Every night you may throw a tomato at someone. They will be covered in tomato and be devoured by any vegetarians in the game. You win with town

You are the

vegetarian

Every night you may choose a player's house to visit. If they have any meat in their homes, you will lock them in the house for the next day out of spite, preventing from posting or voting. You win if there are no more meat eaters at the end of the game.

[Modnote: every other player has meat but 1 tomato thrower ]

Why would vegetarians eat people? People are meat you know.

Humanitarians?

[Lyrebird]

by making the town having to give up something to give the Obstacle a win

If they have to give up a lynch...

…then the role's equivalent to a Jester.

Of course, the town could just get annoyed and lynch the Obstacle anyway :/

[Lyrebird]

You are the INFILTRATOR

Once per night phase, target any person. If they have a private PM for this game, you are added to it.
You gain all reprecussions of it.
You win with the town.

Mod Note: IF sees cult PM, will join cult. If sees Lover PM, makes awkward love triangle, If sees mafia PM, becomes a member of the mafia.

Do you mean QT?

Or is it also like, you target a cop (who PMs action to the mod), and the player becomes a cop as well?

[Lyrebird]

So it's a Survivor that makes everyone else lose?

Seems like you'd just play it like Survivor but troll the Mafia at the end.

I just realized that It would prevent itself from winning.

Everyone loses then

[Lyrebird]

A not-very-good one:

You are the

unloved serial killer

You have a nightkill, which you may utilise once per nigh to off another player.
You lose when you die.
Technically, you win when you are the last player alive... but then you would feel so lonely that you would kill yourself so you can join everybody else in the afterlife. So you lose anyway.

[Lyrebird]

You are a ROLENAME.

You win, and everyone else loses, if you are alive on day 1. Unfortunately, the mafia know this and who you are. But hey, at least you have a neighbourhood with X, the town doctor.

Yeah, but then in order to have a chance to win, the mafia would have to out themselves to get this role lynched Day 1.
Cue insta-mafialynching for the next few days
Lose-lose for mafia

[Lyrebird]

schizophrenic:

Is informed by the mod that he is a mason with 2-3 other players that he is only allowed contact via quicktopic page..
however the 2-3 other players are infact not masons and he is the only one
the mod either pretends to be the 2-3 others or has friends to do it.
hilarity follows

Sheep

(in wolf's clothing)
You are neighbours with XXX, YYY and ZZZ. They may or may not be of your faction.

Mod note: The Neighbourhood QT, which isn't actually called such, but is instead called something innocuous like "Pizza Club" is actually the Mafia QT

Wolf

[normal mafia info here] Also you have a town-aligned role with access and posting rights to your QT. They may or may not know your alignments.

[Lyrebird]

Getting mod killed isn't quitting

You are a bit fat quitter.

Before the role PM gets distributed, you will receive a PM from mod to reply with your favorite alignment.

When you don't get a alignment that you choose in the role PM afterwards, you will be

modkilled

replaced

at the beginning of the day.
