I was just trying to follow the definitions on the wiki literally, in order to figure out what would technically be allowed in a Normal (if the approvals group were really crazily insane). Compulsive = use a night action or get modkilled/action randomized. Vanilla Townie = no night actions. If you can't use a night action, it can't be randomized, so you have to be modkilled or not.

Find the other cotton balls during the Day to win!
Assuming that all Cotton Balls have identical roles (which is an assumption the players would likely make, even if the mod didn't), optimal play there is just for all Cotton Balls to claim; they have no incentive not to do so.
You can daykill all claimed cotton balls at any time. This ability is one-shot.
You win when they are all dead.

The role's terrible because claiming = suicide.
Which I forgot to put there.
I blame you for this.

They'll just breadcrumb really heavily (and obviously) instead, in either case. If the rules are going to punish people for claims, they won't claim, just find some other way around it. You'd need to add some sort of role that can give a disadvantage to the Cotton Balls if he realised what they were, and also had an incentive to do so, and also let the Cotton Balls know that it existed (or they'd just obliviously claim anyway).

You can't breadcrumb or claim the role at all, or you will be modkilled, causing the rest of the cotton balls to lose the game!
I blame you for this.

And who has an obnoxious post restriction, although I have no idea whether that helps or hinders a survivor. (Also, it's not quite the same victory condition as survivor; it's more similar to an SK's, although if tomorrow looks like it'll be cult leader + 2/3 townies, changing it to cult leader + cultist + 1/2 townies is a rather better situation.)

Hmm, I prefer roles that could actually be interesting in a real Bastard Mod game.
You are a
Bulletproof Magnetic L-1 Townie
. You are always at L-1. That's because the lynch threshhold is the number of votes on you, plus 1. Also, because you're magnetic, you cannot be unvoted. You are also immune to nightkills, except if you're endgamed. You win with the town.
I'm having serious trouble trying to figure out the best strategy on this one. (I suspect you have to start by RVSing yourself to reduce the chance that you end up losing to a series of scum-driven quicklynches; and you want to claim as quickly as possible (it's a trivially confirmable role), possibly leaving out the bulletproof bit. The time that day starts is also going to be somewhat relevant due to timezone issues.)

and I prefer to discuss knots. What is your favourite knot?
[there are serious threads for serious roles]
Used to play a lot, haven't played for like 8 years, would like to play again.
. You win when you get people in the game to discuss knots. This role can be of any alignment. "Knot" can be replaced with any noun or verb so as not to be blatantly obvious.

You are a
Nymphomaniac

a) Everyone in the game has admitted a secret sexual fact about themselves
b) You have had sex with every player in the game.
Extra fun when a meet is coming up.

You're thinking hated townie. Takes one less vote to hammer.
I think what he means is that L-1 is however many votes are on that player, so if for example two people were voting him, it would be 3 votes to lynch
