You are the
Headless Man
, and being headless sucks. You've spent decades wandering the wilderness hoping someone will kill you and put you out of your misery. Unfortunately, you've failed thus far. When you found out about a town practicing mob violence, you headed that way immediately. Sadly for you, they are lynching people. With a rope. You have no neck. Do the math.

However, you can still at least satisfy your urge for suicide by evoking the town's wrath against you despite their lack of means to dispose of you. Each day, you MUST be the target for the day's lynch. Always. Of course, you're unlynchable, so day just ends without a death. But it's imperative you get 'lynched' every day. If a day goes by without you getting 'lynched,' you'll be modkilled and lose (despite actually wanting to die... nevermind). Also, getting NK'd is too dishonorable a death for you, so you'll lose if that happens too. You win if you get endgamed. Good luck, and have fun.

Congratulations! You are
Brett Farve
. Not only are you a football superstar, but you're concerned about the infestation of Mafia in your favorite place to play-
Green Bay
New York! Seeing as these characters don't seem willing to go quietly, you are going to deal with them
Packer
Giant style!

At any point in the game, you can post Action: Retire, in bold text. This means that for the rest of the day, you will be unable to post, but any night actions that are targeted to you (IE- Cop investigations, Mafia kills, ect.), will be targeted to a different, randomly selected, player. The next day you will retur, and since you are such a big star, all attention is attracted to you for the 3 nights after you return. You are alligned with the town. Good luck!
Congratulations! You are the
Indecisive Scum
! Your scum partners are
x
and
y
. But you know, only having two players to talk to every night could be a drag, mightn't it? I mean, perhaps. So, you can possibly maybe choose two different players to have night conversations with for that night by maybe PMing me the usernames of the players that you want to talk to that night. The drawback is that you may not post definately while you're talking to anybody during the night perhaps. Should they ask you a question, your only answer can be "Maybe", "I Don't Know", ect. The only questions you can answer directly are "Are you Mafia?" and "Who are your scumbuddies?" (Or variants there of.)

You win when the Mafia outnumber the town or nothing can be done to prevent this. Good luck!
Mod Note: All three scum players recieve this PM. All non-scum players are Vigilantes/SKs. Should the player choose two players to talk to during the night that are not their scumbuddies, the players the scum selected do not get alignment or win condition shifts.

Congratulations! You are the
Hated Survivor
. I hate your guts and you need to die, so if the killing roles do not choose you as a target, I will ModKill you once Day 1 starts. You win if you are the last player standing. Good luck!
Congratulations! You are the
Loved Jester
. You are just so cute looking scummy in an attempt to get lynched! Yes you are! Yes you are! No town could ever be complete without you! Therefore, you get to experience the joy of not being able to get lynched. If you are the town's planned lynch target, the player with the second most votes at the time gets lynched. (Deadline rules apply if there s a tie.). If you claim at any point during the game, you will be modkilled instantly. You are NK immune. You only win if you get lynched. Have fun!

Neither of those looks like a "worst" type role, since in both cases, winning is pretty much inevitable.

Actually, if the zombies know who raised them and keep their old role, that has a lot of potential... You'd probably need Partial Role Reveal on Death, though.

You are a
Can of Pork and Beans
. This name is only for flavor, though. You taste nothing like the Vanilla Townie you are.

Incidentally, the theme for this game is Computer Mafia - this role is just designed to make you look like a moron in the event of a mass roleclaim.
You are
That Guy
. Who is everyone talking about? It must be That Guy. Is That Guy innocent? That's what
they
are trying to decide right now! So who did that
other
guy just vote for? That Guy, obviously!

All Day and Night Actions are immediately redirected to you, ignoring everything that would say otherwise. This includes votes, investigations, protections, and night-kills. You are self-aligned and only win if nobody has died by Day 3. If you win, the game is considered a draw for the Town and Mafia.
You are
"Protected" by the Mafia
. Every day that you are alive in this game, you must PayPal the mod $10, which will then be sent to the living scum players as a "fee" for their "protection". Note that this has no bearing on whether you are lynched or NK'd.

You win when all who threaten the Town are dead. But you had better be careful about it. You cannot replace out of this game. And you
certainly
shouldn't tell anyone about this.
Mod note: The part about sending the money to the Mafia players is a lie.

That makes them pretty bad roles, heh. "Worst" in the sense of "terrible role design", I think is the idea of this thread.

I always took the thread title to mean "worst" from the player's point of view, i.e. impossible or very challenging to win or otherwise not break role PM's requirements.

This is a perfect example of my meaning:

It's only five words.

You are
Forgotten
.

No one remembers you, including the mod, so you're not on the game list, nor does your vote count.

You win when MeMe categorically states that you are in the game.

You are
an inconspicous african american man riding on a plane with not only reptillians, but a vast amount of weaponry.


Once during the game, you may declare your exhaustion from fighting said reptillians, on said plane. The scum will automatically die.
