Maybe a better version could die of it dies in any other game?

We need to be practical? :(

pedit: That would be practical but easily avoidable by not playing in any other games. But you should probably also have it happen if you replace out of other games.

Revised version:
You are a
Part of the Whole
. If you are killed in any other game you are playing in, you will immediately be killed in this game.

Still breaks the "Talking about ongoing games" rule, only now it goes the other way. If someone believes your claim in Worst Role, but thinks you're scum in Other Theme Game, they might not want to lynch you there. I think that makes it the
worst
worst role, because its consequences reach far outside the game it's in.

Alternately- Give the role to people in several games killing each player in the whole when one of them dies (rather than one person in all their games).

Needs to be "are killed or replaced out" to avoid people with that role just replacing out of their other games. Still pretty Worst, of course.

So the actual worst role would be: if you are alive in this game at any time you are modkilled in all the games you are in. This is a more evil version in my opinion.

You are

during the night, you must choose one person. You then die with the selected person's role, and the other guy becomes it. All the ""it"s win if "it" lives to the endgame

I've been planning to use that as a cult factional ability (minus the bastard flip). It seems to fix the balance problems with cults quite neatly.

Best strategy would be for everyone to just No Lynch so they could all become it and win, though, wouldn't it?

The last few players would get endgamed. (You could make it must-lynch in order to be sure, though.)

Also, in a cult game, most people will try to win as town rather than as cult, although there are always exceptions.

Cults and mafia in the same game are asking for trouble, unless the mafia are uncultable.

Make the game must lynch, but don't tell the players.

The first "surprise" lynch will be the player with the most votes. Reasonable.

Then they all try to no-vote to get around it.

And you roll dice right in the thread.

Sounds like a Possessor SK, except it don't change its role when it dies.

You are a
killjoy
. Any player that you are currently voting for is immune from lynches, even if they reach the required lynch number. At such a point, the day continues until a player that you are not currently voting for has enough votes for a lynch. As a night action, you must target one player who will be jailkept every night for the rest of the game. You win when no other faction wins.

You are the fake-hammerrer. If you vote someone who is at L-1, the vote will not count. You win if...
