Bulletproof Nuclear Bomb - If you get lynched, everyone on your wagon dies. You cannot be killed at night

You win with the town
When there's trouble, you call DW.

That is ridiculously broken if you get to LyLo.
Self-vote. Wait for scum to pile on.
Explode in vengeful hilarity.

Someone suggested that as Titanic.

I know, and I was originally thinking of that, and how it wouldn't be broken because it's ONE vote... but think 5p/7p LyLo with a quickhammer attempt.

Now you see scum...
...now you don't.

Why?
5p LyLo is 3:2, if one of the town is the Nuclear Bomb/Titanic and self-votes in those conditions, scum can quickhammer--and die with the NB, making it 2 surviving townies.
The same with 7p.

In 6p MyLo, you only have 2 scum. It also works, as long as another townie votes you along with your self-vote--again, two surviving townies; three surviving townies in 8p.

Every night, you may show your identity to one person. That person can choose to either get converted, or die. If you die, all your converts die with you.

Could be alluding to the reflexive property. Still, a better name might be made. Maybe Suicidal?

Another blatantly disruptive third party that both contributes nothing to the game and has no hope of winning:

You are a
Heretic
.
Your must get the moderator lynched. The moderator's name will not appear in votecounts, and people voting for the moderator will appear as their last vote (or Not Voting, if they unvoted first), however, if the moderator reaches majority, s/he
will be lynched
and the game will end in your victory.

Part of ASOIAF Mafia - Test of Faith Mafia's Cult Recruiter ability, deemed the Andrius Problem.

"Do you think town is more likely to win (and you will die as town and keep your wincon), or would you like to jump ship?"

The cult recruiter could choose to NK instead, and scum were unrecruitable (to ensure they wouldn't turn against their scumbuddies once recruited). There were a few other cult trinkets.

Source.

No. Officially, the game is "Abandoned," but the heretic wins. I guess the backup mod could take over if there is one.

Better yet, change the role to Usurper. You become the moderator after you get the mod lynched.
When there's trouble, you call DW.

Continuing the pointless third party roles:

You are a
Bored Lynchproof Night 1 Jester
.
You must vote for everyone else in the game at least once during the first Day. You cannot be lynched. You win if you are the first person to die.

You're a
Reviewer
.

You can change roles and alignments at will. You win if everybody agrees post-game that the game was balanced.

You are
that one nosy person[/i].

You are so nosy that you can butt in on other people's business each night. Doing so will have a random effect, since how people react to a nosy person is random.

You win when your nosiness saves a life of a town member and town wins the game or kills a mafia member and town wins the game.

Mod note: random effect is based on the action and rng: positive (enhances the action), negative (weakens the action), or neutral (nothing happens).
don't you feel silly now?

I've always thought that the best response to a moderator lynch is for the mod to stop posting, and the backup mod to take over…

You are a
1-Shot Exact-Hour Day VIgilante
. Once in the game, during the day phase, you may post "
Kill:
playername
" in the thread. If this post is made within the second immediately following the change from one hour to the next, that player dies; otherwise, nothing happens and you waste the shot. You win with the town.


I seem to be making a lot of dayvig variants recently. Also, I noticed when writing this that the interface I'm using (or any of the others?) doesn't actually show seconds, but meh, I'll post it anyway, just because it's impossible to mod correctly doesn't stop it being worst.
