The reason doing it with a cop-style ability is rather worse than that, is that not changing your gender to female becomes a scumtell, as soon as the role is claimed. (Also, because it could lead to hilarious requests to change gender without explanation earlier in the game.) A Governor ability isn't the sort of thing it's scummy to dodge the target of.

Well yeah, but that makes it interesting? It also kind of outs you have a powerful enough role that people changing their genders is something that should happen and paints a target on your back.

. At night, you can investigate a player with "Female" in the gender field of their profile, to determine whether they are town or not.

You win with the (
town or third party, probably more interesting as town
).

This one's pretty awful in a number of ways, although it needs a better name. (Especially as if it's claimed, the pro-town reaction is to start persuading all the males in the game to lie about their gender across the site so that they are viable scan targets. And the blatant gender discrimination before that.)

Optional modnote: Has a 50/50 chance of working on Vi.


Well, you could easily just have it be based on the gender people had listed at the start of the mafia game. That would be easy enough for the mod to keep track of.

You are an
Unmemorable Townie
. You're part of the game, but everyone keeps forgetting you exist. As such, you don't count as alive for the purpose of calculating win conditions, and will not be prodded or replaced no matter how long you go without posting. Also, your vote won't appear on vote counts (but luckily, the mod always double-checks before a lynch, so it still counts for the purpose of lynching people).

You win with the town.

Could also work as groupscum, I guess. It's mostly just a slightly stronger and considerably more bastard treestump.

You are a
Misogynist


All of your posts must include a scathing (as judged by the mod) insult to one or more of the female players currently in the game. You can only vote for female players and must either
Vote
or
Confirm vote
in all of your posts. You may not mention or claim any aspect of your role, and will be modkilled if this occurs or anyone guesses your role.

You win only after every female player in the game is lynched or modkilled, and subsequently makes an angry bah post.

You are
Mr.1000


You must secure 1000th post in the game. Before 1000th post, you cannot have more than 100 posts. If you can't achieve the 1000th post, you must post 1000 times from that moment on, to before the game finishes. Any less or more than that, you will lose. If 3 or more players complain about your postings you will be Mod Killed. You may keep posting after your lynch or death in order to fill your 1000 post count or in order to secure 1000th post.

You only win for yourself.

Okay.

You are
Mr.1000


You MUST post 1000 posts in the game before it finishes. If 3 or more people complain about you, you are Mod-killed (You may not post anymore after being Mod-killed). Even if you die in any way, you may still post unless 3 or more people complain about you.
Game will instantly finish with your win after you post your 1000th post. You lose if any other faction wins.

Claim: Mr. 1000


Guys, I need to make 1000 posts before the Day ends or me and one other townie dies. If you don't want this to happen, you will shut up and watch me spam the thread until there are 999 posts with the lyrics to "It's Raining Men".

You are a
Wise Crowd
.

Once during the game, you may decide that another player is a Village Idiot, and WotC them out of the game. This causes them to retroactively not have signed up.

You win with the town.

Does this lead to a replacement? Or a modkill?

Presumably, they will never have appeared in the game. They will be removed from all votecounts, and all their posts will be deleted. Possibly, other posts/parts of posts referencing them will be removed?

You have
Nominal aphasia
. Each time you want to reference someone in a post, even in quotes and votes, you have to use http://www.random.org/lists/ to determine which name to use instead of your desired one (use the first one it provides). The list of names you need to supply is here.

You are a
Sane Cop
. Blah blah blah...

Mod note: Each night, apologize for providing an incorrect role PM and tell the player that they're actually a different version of the cop -- insane, paranoid, etc. Give them a random result, it doesn't matter what, as in reality they're a doctor, protecting the person they investigate.

You are a
Death Sensor


When you are lynched, the moderator will announce how many non-town players were on your wagon and how many were off.

You win with the town.


It's a town-aligned jester. I think the optimal play with this role is to claim D1 and convince the town to quicklynch you. ...Also makes it a cool fakeclaim for real Jesters.

You are a
Mafia Jester
. You win if you die by lynching, and your mafia partners go on to win.

Alternatively, a Town Jester...

You are
Mr.iMakeRandomNames

Before the game begins, the Moderator will PM you with the list of players in the game with each person assigned with completely random names (ie. drmyshotgun = Hunkerson).
You must address everybody in the game this way, you cannot explain why you are doing it, you have to even vote people using this name.
If you are caught using other players' usernames or trying to explain who is who, you will be immediately mod-killed.

You win with the Town.

Not exactly practical, considering you'd need to get all the other mods on side. Which would never happen.
