Worst role ideas?

[izakthegoomba]

But with an evil wincon... and an even eviler losecon.

[hiplop]

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.

Lets just hope he doesnt meet a samarai....

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.

Has to actively hammer, plus the modnote makes it almost impossible for him to win.
I love this thread, how do I not remember that one?

[izakthegoomba]

It was pretty early. Are you telling me you've read the whole thread?

[saulres]

You are an

Incremental Poster

. (This role can be of any alignment.)

The second time you make a post, you must immediately make the same post again. The third time, you must make the post three times. And so on.

You win if no one ever posts within any of your sequences and your faction wins. You lose if anyone does post within any of your sequences, regardless of your faction's win/loss status.

Does MS even let us post that often?

[Tragedy]

Nope.

[BBmolla]

You are a

Weak Vigilante

. If you target mafia, you die.

You win with the village.

[Eddard Stark]

Does the kill still go through?

[Ythan]

A weak doctor's protect still counts.

[izakthegoomba]

Make it one-shot and it's potentially viable.

[Faraday]

Why is it not viable if it's more than one-shot? (it's certainly not overpowered)

[izakthegoomba]

No, it's just bad.

[IceGuy]

You are a

Weak Vigilante

. If you target mafia, you die.

You win with the village.

This role actually exists (as one variant of the Quack Doctor).

There's

Weak Cop

You are an

Unknown 3rd Party

Jester

Innocent Child

forever. When you target a 3rd party, you will become a

Lyncher

.

You win with the village.

[Yosarian2]

No, it's just bad.

Eh, it's not that bad. In theory, it's more pro-town then a straight suicide-bomber role, and even that role isn't terrible.

If you wanted to actually make the weak vig a bad role, make it compulsive.

[Lopsy]

You are a

Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock Champ

. You win with the town. Each night, challenge someone to a friendly match of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock. In the event of a tie, you will become Neighbors; otherwise, the loser dies.

[izakthegoomba]

Eh, not really very "friendly".

And it's spock-lizard, not lizard-spock.

[izakthegoomba]

You are a

Town Goon

So, I've only ever dreamed about Mafia once. (Maybe I should play more.) But the dream had the most awesome role in ever.

Everyone else was constrained to obeying the rules of the game; town lynching only one person, staying at home at night unless their roles let them do something else, scum kill one player at night, etc. Everything was flavoured properly, as you'd expect from a good mod; there was plenty of flavour going on, but it fit the game actions.

Now, one player (me in the dream) was different. I knew that everyone else was constrained by the rules, and that I was in a Mafia game; but the rules didn't apply to me, I could roam freely around in the game's flavour. I didn't know my win condition, but that didn't really matter; I wasn't trying to win, just to survive and make a good life for myself. (So I guess I was closer to a survivor than anything else.)

In the actual dream, what happened was that there was a player who was a modified Cult Leader who could only cult one person at a time (the role has a name, but with the wiki down, I can't look it up; IIRC it's Mentor or something like that). And I managed to wrestle their mind-control pills off them (after a crazy game of bluffing that I can't remember all the details of) and force them to eat them themself, and ended up culting

them

. I can't remember how it ended, but I think we were in a pretty good shape after that; I think we went and commuted permanently (which you can, of course, do if you aren't constrained by the rules of the game), and the town won in our absence.

I think this is possibly the most awesome role ever; at least, it's

my

most awesome role ever IMO. Here it is in game form:

You are

breaking through the fourth wall from outside

. Most people just get to look at the flavour from outside, unable to influence it, constrained by their role. You aren't.

Day or night, you can take actions within the world described by the game's flavour. You can do anything that it would make logical sense for you to be able to do in the world described by the moderator's flavour, if it were real and you were a person there. At night, or if you could plausibly perform an action in secret, you may take an action by PMing the mod describing what you do. If it's daytime and everyone would plausibly know you're performing an action, you can perform an action by bolding it in the game thread instead. The moderator will decide what the effects of your actions would be, and what other players in the game world would do to respond to them.

Whatever actions you take, if they have an effect on the game world that would be visible to the player, will be described in the moderator's flavour. Additionally, your actions can override the game state if they would logically do that (for instance, if you find some way to kill someone, they will die in the game as well as in the flavour).

You win if you get a happy ending.

[Guy_Named_Riggs]

You are

The innocent child of the Jester

At the start of the game, you will be mod-confirmed town.
You win if you get lynched
