Worst role ideas?

[Junpei]

You are a

Commercial for Orphans

. Instead of posting you make slide shows of objects that convey your point without giving the viewer an informed decision. You win when everyone alive has invested in your

scam

organization.

[animorpherv1]

You are

hidden tags

. You win when someone discovers you.

[Ythan]

You are aligned with town but you only win if you are alive at the end of the game.

Then you're not aligned with the town. Your alignment is a product of your win condition.

Not neccessarily. You win with the town and lose when you die is a functional win condition.

[Ythan]

Win condition, be alive and town is the only faction remaining. It's somewhere between townie and survivor, probably closer in outcome to a townie.

[saulres]

You are a

Doomed Survivor

. You are aligned with town, and win when they do.

Your first post of the first day must be a quote of your role PM.

[izakthegoomba]

Not really a survivor, then. At least, not before the modkill.

"Doomed Townie" would be more fitting.

[saulres]

I was going with the fact that people who are modkilled are turned into Survivors. So this one would be "Doomed to be a Survivor". Maybe "Inevitable Survivor"?

[izakthegoomba]

Nah, I'm just picky.


You are a

Cold Caller

.

Each night, you may barrage another player with PMs which appear to have nothing to do with this game.

You win if you can convince someone to take out some kind of insurance policy.

You are a

Certified Rule Breaker

. You will

not

get modkilled for breaking rules, and you win when you have broken every single one of them.

[DeltaWave]

You are the

Assassin

. Your goal is to track down player ________ (insert random active player name here). They are not playing this game, but try to get into a game they're in. Once you're in that game, you must push for a lynch of this player. You win when you have successfully lynched them. Mentioning this role or wincon, even in a cryptic way, is grounds for a modkill.

(Everyone in the game gets the same role PM.)

Optimal play there is to deliberately flake, and hope that someone gets quicklynched. (Then on day 2, probably you should fullclaim. In a bastard mod game, people might actually believe you.)

[izakthegoomba]

Yeah, but you'd get replaced after around 4-5 days. Day 1 is almost always longer than that.

[callforjudgement]

A very likely replace-out is still strictly better than a guaranteed modkill, though. (Unless the game's using the BaM ruleset, where you're really in trouble.)

*snort* That'd be kind of awesome, actually, in the right Bastard Mod game.

[callforjudgement]

Presumably has to be filtered to all the rules that it's theoretically possible to break. (Unless you count, say, pretending to claim scumbuddies as breaking the claiming-scumbuddies rule rather than the pretending-to-break-rules rule.)

You'd also probably have to draw a line at the sitewide rules too. We don't want people posting illegal material just because there's a rule against it.

[izakthegoomba]

You are

callforjudgement

.

You win when you are unworthy of being called "Captain Obvious".

A Call for Judgement, in some games, is what happens when you try to figure out if a loophole in the rules exists or not, or ask for a clarification. (Sort-of like PMing the mod here on MS.)

I find it a

very

appropriate name for the way I act.

Hmm, at that…

You are a

Rules Lawyer

. You instantly die if you misinterpret any element of the rules. You don't have a win condition, but you're allowed to exploit loopholes in an attempt to win anyway.

[Meransiel]

You are a

Republican

. You must claim an investigative power role on the first 3 pages of day 2. You may not admit you were lying until day 3.

You win if the town wins, AND you are not dead at the beginning of day 3.

[callforjudgement]

Assuming you're going for a really bad rather than potentially viable bad role, don't you mean to change "day 3" to "day 4" there? Claim a guilty on someone you think is town day 2, and you'll probably survive to day 3 and get lynched then (you probably won't be lynched over the person you claimed on, nor NKed because the scum will assume you'll be lynched day 3). As written, the role is pretty much functionally equivalent to a lyncher who wins with town after lynching their target, and gets to choose their target; a bad role, but not nearly as bad as it could be.

I love this role, actually, if the necessary survival were lengthened.

[izakthegoomba]

You are a

Mafia Vanilla Townie

.

You have no power except your voice and your vote.

You win when all living players are mafia, or nothing can prevent the same.

I think that role already exists; it's exactly the same as one variant of the traitor.

[izakthegoomba]

Oh yeah, I think I saw that somewhere. It's a bit different; the Mafia can't recruit this one.

[Ythan]
