Worst role ideas?

[Rime Ice Fury]

You are the

Town Flaker

. At the end of each post you make, you must request replacement, after which the mod will replace you.

This one made me chuckle.



EDIT: And it leads to...

You are a

Town Lurker

. You may only make one post of 100 words or less after each modprod you receive.

Nice! For an even worse variant, they can't post anything but "Hey guys. Received my prod, and I'll get back to you tonight with a detailed post."


And here's another:

You are the

Newbie Mafia Failure

. You are partners with xxxxx and yyyyy, with zzzzz being your Godfather. You were just recently recruited to the Mafia, and boy, you can't wait to tell everyone! In every post you make, you must quote your entire role PM. Failure to do so will result in a modkill.

You win when there is nothing preventing a Mafia majority.

[Booker]

There's so much you can do with Altair...

You are

Altair

. Your mentor and head of the Asassins always said "Nothing is true and everything is permitted", which you choose to interpret as "Do whatever the hell you want". Thus, don't worry about breaking any of the rules outlined at the beginning of the thread. You're not a religious fellow, so there's no need for you to worry about being modkilled for it either. You've always been a Lynch All Liars advocate which, combined with the "Nothing is True" bit, means you win when every player who has posted in the thread, including yourself if applicable, is dead.

Mod Note: Altair can still get modkilled for breaking the rules, even if told not to worry about it. From Day 3 on Altair realises it isn't a good idea to take proverbs straight and wins with the town.

You are

Altair

, and have recently been suffering amnesia from the trauma of being demoted. Maybe if you kill (Including hammering) the people your boss specifies your memories will come back. You win if no threats to the Asassins Mafia remain. Other Asassins are xxxx and yyyy, along with the Godfather zzzz. For some reason, nobody listens when you want to vote.

Mod Note: After killing one person, Altair gains a Night Kill. After killing two, it takes two or more nightkill attempts in one night to bring him down. After killing three he loses the annoying "You're in my way" mentality and everyone else takes him seriously enough to allow him to vote.

Tying in with the above:
You are technically an

Asassin

. However, lately you've realised that listening in on conversations (and beating up the occasional fellow for other information) as a spy is much easier and safer. If someone does need killing, you generally wait until Altair comes along and bribe him to do it with information. Occasionally, bored Asassins have even scattered flags around and made Altair pick them up for information. Once a night, you may pick someone to investigate. After two total investigation attempts between the Asassin-Spies, the target's role is sent out to all of them. You win when only Asassins remain. yyyy is also an Assassin-Spy, zzzz is the Asassin Godfather, and Altair is wwww.

Mod Note: If Altair dies, the Asassins get their act together, lose investigation abilities, and can perform one kill per night among the faction.

You are

Altair

, currently in a close running with Malik (xxxx) for the coveted Stupidest Asassin award. You worked so hard building your big action up with arrogance, carelessness, and general jackassery, and that upstart just runs in and does something so immensely, spontaneously, and nonsensically dumb that two of the judges had a heated debate over whether it actually ended up going full circle and being

smart

. One clear method is left of clinching the award. Killing an ally over a competition to determine who's the stupidest? Now

that's

stupid. You win, the award and the game, if xxxx is lynched with you on the wagon. You do have a Nightkill, you just can't use it on xxxx.

You are

Altair

. Despite an uncommon outfit filled to the brim with exposed weapons, you're a very forgettable fellow. Once per day, you can PM the mod asking for a specific person to be killed in a public and extravagant manner. It will be done, and nobody will seem to be able to remember who did it. This spell will be broken on anyone you quote or specifically refer to in one of your posts, however, and they will recieve a PM informing them that you were the killer for any future daykills you choose to take. You cannot be lynched unless at least two of the people voting you can remember you. You win with the town.

[NabakovNabakov]

You are

Only One Person

. You have one vote. Period. If you vote for a player in any game/thread (even discussion threads) they will be the singular target of your singular vote. Furthermore, if you are voted by any player in any game/thread, that vote will be added to your total. Fortunately, you will only be lynched by a majority of players on the site, and you may place your vote on people you aren't even playing with.

You win if a majority of the games active on the site as of you recieving this PM end in a town victory.

Mod Note: This is more of a social experiment than a role and will be sent to a random user with no context.

[thinktank]

You are

Townie Wagon Jumper

. You are a regular townie, except you must change your vote once every 5 posts. You win when the town has a majority.

[Yosarian2]

You win when the town has a majority.

Lol..so, he wins post 1 of day 1? Or is this in a game with lots of scum groups where the town starts out in the minority?

[Korts]

Random Idea (tm)

Mafia win condition: you win when your faction has the Majority and keeps it for two consecutive nights.

Modnote: the game mechanic includes an object called "Majority" starting in the hands of a random pro-town player. Still hazy on the details.

[thinktank]

Lol. Woops, edit that. Wins when all mafia and anti-town groups are eliminated.

[Pentadragon]

You are

Oedipus Rex

, King of Thebes. All had been well until the anger of the gods. Apparently, the murderer of the former king Laius is living within your city. You will not rest until the wretch who slayed your wife's first husband is banished! Each night you may choose to investigate a player to see if they are guilty of Laius's murder. You win if the murderer is banished and you remain king.

Good one, but it's supposed to be hard to win, not impossible.

Unless I am mistaken I have seen some impossible win conditions in this thread. There could always be a Tireseis role who has a low chance of convincing Oedipus not to go after the murderer. Really though, while I was thinking of it I was thinking of an unwinnable game.

Mod note: xxxxx, yyyyy, and zzzzz may communicate with each other and the Newbie Mafia Failure, but they are in fact pro-town. As long as the Newbie Mafia Failure is alive, the mod chooses a random player to die, as the 'scumgroup's nightkill'.

[Porochaz]

You are a ressurecting lyncher, You win when you have ressurected Player X back from a fatal gunshot wound and you have then successfully lynched him.

[somestrangeflea]

You are

better than this

. Just stop all this nonsense and come home, please.

Win Condition

: You don't need to prove anything to us. We all love you, just put the gun down.

[Porochaz]

You are

about to be shot

shit sorry...

[Vi]

You are a

Crazed Psychopathic Mass Murderer That Eats Small Children

. But you're not a serial killer; you're just a constantly dazed and semipermanently irrational Townie. You win with the Town, contrary to all appearances.

During each night, you are permitted one (1) Night Kill of the target of your choice. However, each time you use this night kill, the moderator will announce in the thread that the death of the person you killed was

clearly

the work of a Crazed Psychopathic Mass Murderer That Eats Small Children. If you do not use your Night Kill, every person who targets you that night dies, and the death/killing spree (whichever is applicable) is announced as having been committed by a Crazed Psychopathic Mass Murderer That Eats Small Children. You cannot be roleblocked.

There are two exceptions to the above Night Action rules:
*If you are targeted by two (2) killing roles and are not using your NK, you are killed and so is the killer who "arrived" first (made the first PM to the mod).
*If you NK the Innocent Child, you are granted one (1) nightkill immunity (for when you are eligible to be nightkilled in the first place). Innocent Children taste like chicken. Trust me.

But don't worry - as long as you're not at all suspicious and not worth protecting at night, you won't massacre multiple pro-Town roles at once if you don't make your extremely public NKs. Not to put you on the spot or anything

[Yosarian2]

Hahaha...awesome role, Vi.

Although, the way the meta is about improbable roles these days, you could probably just claim that role and people would believe you.

[New Coldness]

You are a COP WITH ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. You have the ability to investigate one other player per night to determine their allegiance (town, SK, Mafia, Cult, whatever), but there's a problem. See, you have this condition. You can't form new memories. You just forget everything that happens to you. So instead of trying to remember your night results, you write them down on little slips of paper.

There's only one problem, though: you keep forgetting where you put the little slips of paper. See, you have this condition. You can't form new memories. So you keep forgetting where you put the papers.

You may investigate one other player per night to determine their allegiance, but you don't get the results. Upon your death, however, the results will be revealed to the rest of the town.

You don't get the results yourself because of this condition that you have. See, you can't form new memories. So you just keep forgetting the results.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

...have I told you about your condition yet?

[Adel]

that is a pretty awesome role NC, I think you posted it in the wrong thread by mistake.

[New Coldness]

Ten points to whoever gets the movie reference.

I would play this role in a heartbeat.

What?

Memento is an utterly, utterly awesome mindfrak of a movie, and I have a sudden urge to steal this role idea and modify it to suit my needs.

[Twomz]

A cop who's results are posted in thread instead of sent to him?

Or is just the alignment posted in thread?
