And this one doesn't have investigation immunity at any point.

Yeah, as Ythan commented, one variant of the traitor is exactly that role you just described; it doesn't get recruited, and isn't investigative immune.

Also, if you're talking about a roleclop, it doesn't screw with it that much since mafia goons usually show up as vanilla town to rolecops.

Vanilla goons have three things to support their factional wincon. Confirmation, communication, and a shared kill. That version of the traitor is just a goon without any of those.

You are an
OCD Townie
.

You must vote for someone in your first post.

You win when that player is lynched, AND the town wins. You lose if that player dies by any method other than lynching.

You are a
Mafia Seductress
.

Once, during the night, you may seduce one player. They will become a one-way lover with you - if you die, so will they, but their death will not cause yours. If they die before you, you may seduce another player.

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

Slaxx has used that role as a town-sided role as well (Charmer), but without the "If they die before you..." caveat.

some players lurk so much that they would be a viking in this role and none of us would ever know

You are a
Viking
. This role will not be revealed even upon death (you will show as "Vanilla Townie").

You win if you get everyone in the Dead Thread to pretend they're at a feast with Odin during every main game night phase. You lose if this does not happen, no matter what the results of the main game.

Your wincon is basically a D1 only Jester.

Not quite. D1 Jester is one way to win, and the other is Town Survivor who can't post. (In a bastard game, a player who's not posting at all and yet not being prodded may well survive until a town victory, I guess, although they'd risk a policy lynch the day before lylo, so town would have to win by quite a margin.)

EDIT: Just noticed the "until endgame", which means that it's actually Neutral Survivor, as you'd wake up in time for the scum to endgame you, which is not dying in your sleep.

Hmmm, I wasn't even thinking about trying to get yourself lynched so you didn't have to worry about that. I still don't really see that as a jester role, but this is all irrelevant

You are a
Hammer
. And as a Hammer, that's the only thing you can do. You can't vote unless your vote is the hammer, in which case you must vote. If there's a bandwagon on you, you must hammer yourself. You lose if someone else hammers. You win if you survive until endgame.

Mod note: Also a lynchee.

A similar role exists already. The Hammerer passively hammers when someone reaches L-1.

Also, the above has been suggested here, under the name Hammah Slammah.

I probably read too much.
