A psychic who can detect whether a player has 'the blood of innocents' on their hands.

Scum who haven't nightkilled yet give a 'no blood' result; vigs who've shot townies and anyone who was on a townie lynch gives the result: 'their hands are dripping with the blood of innocence'.

That's a good role. It would be very interesting in a no-reveal game.

You are a post-restricted lurker. For the first seven real life days of the game you are not allowed to post. Every time the mod prods you at the request of a player, you again cannot post for seven real life days. Good luck. You'll need it.

You are a
Vanilla Mafiate
. Your powers are your vote and your word. Figure out who the scum are and stop them being killed. You win when no threats to the scum remain.
Modnote: The scum don't know he exists.


You are a
Scorched Earth Aspirant
, and have figured out the ultimate loophole to victory in Mafia. When the win conditions read "You win when all threats to your faction/the town are eliminated" or "You win when everyone other than you is dead", when
everybody
dies, everybody wins. Being as benevolent as you are, this is your objective. If you post
Daykill: X and Y
, they will both die, as well as you. You win when all threats to anyone are eliminated.

You are
Mr. Flay.


You absolutely
must
get the last post in the thread, else you'll lose. Furthermore, you must compete with the actual Mr. Flay. Good luck.

Actually, that depends on the subforum you're playing in. I'm not sure Flay even closes threads.

BTW, I'm sure someone else posted something very like this ITT with MeMe.

You are
The Good Samaritan
. It is a pleasure to help people. It is why you have been helping people your entire life. Unfortunately for you, some people have taken advantage of your helpfulness and gotten you in trouble. You are sure it won't happen now though. You have just moved into this lovely Sicilian village and everyone seems so nice.

Each night, you may send me the name of one of the players. If that player has a night action, they will be able to select an extra player to target. Should you be the target of an investigation, the cop will recieve the alignment of the last person you helped. You win with the town.

We've had the Vanilla Mafiate for ages. We usually call him the Mafia Traitor.

It still belongs in the Worst Role Ideas thread, though.

But Tar, a mafia traitor is usually told who the scum are.

Mafia spy is not told but can role cop at night to find them.

Vanilla Mafiate is like traitor in a sence they have to vote and keep mafia alive but since they don't know who mafia is they'll have a fun time pulling that off. That's at least the impression i get from Booker's role listing.

There's no way the Town will wait 7 days to ask for a prod.

Great Cthulhu- Anyone who targets you at night sees your true form and goes insane.

Roleblocks for the night and screws up power roles; Cops get changed to a random insanity, docs become killers, vigs shoot themselves, etc

Players are also given a heavy post restriction.

Evil Twin


You are twins with X, unfortunately you're the evil twin, which means if someone doesn't roleblock you kill everyon but yourself, because you are manic. You win if everyone dies.

Good Twin


You are X's twin, luckily, you're the good twin, you require to role-block your evil twin every-night, unfortunately, for you, you're suicidal, and die N1, enjoy.

Bastard Mod Note


The Evil Twin must kill all players, but in the rule set suicide is forbidden.
