Here is the link to the role list in my Marathon Weekend running of Bastard Face Mafia:
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 46#1585946
There are some cruel worst roles and some strong best roles that were put into this gameWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly-

you areA guy who has no idea at all about what's going on:you may post but you may not: 1) Say the word maffia, goon, innocent, guilty, cult, or any other word which points to criminal activities of some sort. 2) quote anything with any of those words in it. 3) Vote for anybody since you don't know that there are maffia in your town. 4) tell the other players that you have no idea what's going on, because you don't know anything's going on. 5)PM
You win when any side wins, since you don't know something is going on.
You will show up as a normal townie on all investigations. Since you have no idea what's going on you can't do anything special, not even in a game where everyone can do something special at night. You are not allowed to protect yourself from charges put against you during a game since that would mean you talk about 'being innocent' which is a violation of rule nr.1Last edited by Cirdua on Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:03 am, edited 1 time in total.-

You areanimorpherv1. You win when everyone in the game has yelled at you for doing something wrong. Good luck, you'll need it."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

Mod notes: muhahahahahahahaYou just lost the game.
You win only if both of the following conditions are met:
1. Town Wins
2. You haven't read your role pm.
If either of these conditions become impossible to meet, you lose. Please confirm via pm.
Good luck.
I don't know if anybody came up with smiliar one already, but if they did, they clearly retroactively stole it from me.ShowWhy, yes, I do exist simply to make your life a living hell.

Mod note: should be fairly balanced with 2 scum groups, a doc, and a vig. Excellent play or luck could let them win on N1. Pure bastard moddery if there is one scum group and no doc. The player's victory should not be announced until end-of-game, and they should probably only be told they've won after they die.You are aMartyr
You win if you are targeted for more than one non-lynch kill during the game (regardless of the success of those kills.)-

Killing parties in the game included: one scum group, 1 SK, 1 insane killer cop, 1 Town GF
Action stoping or moving parties in the game included: A sanity changing doc, I redirecting variant, a role blocker, and a modified Body guard that didn't know his win condition.
sirdanilot got killed by luck while doing very little in the game thanks to the insane killer cop. Charter wanted to investigate him but thanx to sanity issues he killed sirdanilot so danny fufilled his win condition night 1. The game lasted 4 days and only 2 nights due to wierd swinginess of my bastard setup thoughWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

You areCompletly soaked in gasoline and strapped with explosives
If any kind of fire happens, anywhere in the game, at any point, you will catch fire, explode, and die. At any time, you may type, in bold, "Hug:player" in thread; you will continue to hug that player from that point until the end of the game until you either typeunhugor until you hug someone else; if you catch fire, then whoever you are hugging will die along with you.
You win with the town.

You areA pyromaniac
At any point, you may, in thread during the day, say you want toLight a match,Light a candle, orStart a fire. If you use one of these abilities, something really cool might happen.
You win with the town.I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie-

How about an open setup with three of these and six town and three scum.DraketheFake wrote:

Better: Add a power role or two to the mix.magnus_orion wrote:How about an open setup with three of these and six town and three scum.

I think the role should be called the Nosy Nelly, incidentally.
Maybe:
3 Scum
2 Nosy Nellies
6 Townies
1 Role Cop (receives player's role PM)
And then - since we wouldn't want some motivated losing-cause Nosy Nellies spoiling the fun - perhaps they die as soon as the role PM is opened? Or should their votes just not count? It's a pro-town role, obviously, but it shouldn't really be played like a vanilla townie once it's been spoiled.-

This is very obviously not viable in a real game (hence why it's in this thread), but it's sparked off a cool idea for a theme game in my head.magnus_orion wrote:

I don't think you could do it with role PMs; people can't very well play if they don't know what they're playing for. But role PMs don't have to be the only PMs. I'm thinking either at pre-determined intervals, or triggered by events in the game, players will receive (via PM) MYSTERY BOXES that they can either choose to open or not. They might do something useful, like give them a one-shot cop investigation or protection from night kills, they might do something less useful, like take away their vote for the day or give them an annoying post restriction; they won't know until they open them. And if they can withstand the curiosity and refrain from opening it, then it won't do anything at all.
I dub this theoretical game "Schrödinger's Mafia". It might be coming soon to a theme queue near you, but then again, it might not.-

Hah, that would be a good small fast game, iam. How as Mod would you know if they open them or not? I guess you could have them quote the ability back to you via PM, but there's no incentive (except honor) to quote a negative one. PMs move from Outbox to Sentbox as soon as you open your Inbox, not when you read them. Maybe it'll be different under phpBB3...Retired as of October 2014.-

Not true. Try sending a test message to yourself. It will stay in your outbox until you actually read it in your inbox.Mr. Flay wrote:Hah, that would be a good small fast game, iam.
