Worst role ideas?

[izakthegoomba]

You are a

Post-based Jack of all Trades

.

If you make the first post in a day, you will become a doublevoter for that day.

If you make the last post in a day, you may choose to either track or watch someone the following night.

If you make the most posts in any given day, you will get a Vig shot for the following night.

If you make the least posts in any given day, you will be bulletproof for the following night.

If you make a double post, you will show as guilty to all investigations during the following night.

Your first post in each day must start with a player's name other than your own. That player will be made lynch-immune for the day.

You win with the town.

[gorckat]

Assign the roles but only give win-cons Night 0 and full powers Night 1.

[izakthegoomba]

Now we're going off into full bastard territory...

[inspiratieloos]

Give multiple people that 'Post-based Jack of all Trades' role.

[callforjudgement]

You are a

Mafia Discussion Neighborizer

.

At night, you can target a player to gain a QT with them, but only if they posted immediately before or immediately after you in some Mafia Discussion topic, at some point before this game began.

[izakthegoomba]

Give multiple people that 'Post-based Jack of all Trades' role.

How about we give EVERYONE that role, just with different wincons?

[callforjudgement]

There's going to be a huge amount of mod influence in when they choose to lock the thread.

You are a

Discussion Stifler

. At any time, you can lock the thread, to stop other people posting. (If you do this when no player has been hammered, the mod will just unlock it again when he/she notices.) However, you have to trick one of the list mods (or Mr. Flay, I guess; mith doesn't count) into giving you modding powers to the forum first.

[izakthegoomba]

Just modding powers for the thread would be enough.

[IceGuy]

You're a

mute

.

You may not post. If you post, you're modkilled. You will not be prodded or replaced. Any prod or replacement requests to the mod will be ignored.

You win if you survive until endgame.

[gorckat]

You're

Lost but have a GPS

. Your posts may not be in the game thread, but somewhere else. MD, SI, other sites, in pictures on Imgur- somewhere else. You can only post links to your posts in the game thread and votes. Votes outside the game thread will not count. You win with TURN LEFT

NOW

! RECALCULATING...

You are a

Setup Reviewer

. You helped review the setup, and therefore know all the roles in the game.
(*List of all the roles in the game, but not who they are distributed to*)
Your role has been randomly selected from the above, and you've ended up being
(*Of the roles in the game, one is randomly chosen, and put here--such as a full VT PM, a Mafia Goon, you get the idea*)

You win with (*insert roles' wincon here*).


I'm sure it could

theoretically

be made to work, but c'mon, in the hands of town, the game's become an open setup. In the hands of scum, they know all the PRs they need to kill. The only way it'd be more broken is if it were called "The Moderator" and they knew the role distribution as well.

[Sscchhmueptfter]

Give the role the survivor-wincondition.

Edit: confused it with sk-wincondition.

[izakthegoomba]

You are

the modererator

. I'm out, bitches.

[callforjudgement]

Setup Reviewer might work if it was guaranteed to be an anti-town role, rather than random role.

[gorckat]

You Know Too Much

. The following words are in the Role PMs: <link to word cloud image where size of word relates to frequency>. You win if you correctly recreate all the PMs of the players and assign them to the players in the game.

Note- Wincon reveal only (ie, Town, Mafia or Third Party, not exact wording) and word cloud is made after running all PMs from English -> Spanish -> Chinese (Traditional) -> English.

Here's a role PM from a completed game:

This is actually awesome.

Actually wouldn't be that hard to do. But, it wouldn't take any skill. Guess that is the point of the role.

[izakthegoomba]

Maybe give the mute some night actions to make things interesting?

[callforjudgement]

They wouldn't actually have to be a real person at all. You could just use an alt of the mod.

[Areso]

They wouldn't actually have to be a real person at all. You could just use an alt of the mod.

That's not nearly as Worst, though.

[callforjudgement]

Really excessively Worst roles make for unfun games. I'm trying to seed the thread with playable ideas to make it viable to run a Worst Roles Mafia 3 eventually.

[gorckat]

You're the

Inquisitor

? You always speak in questions? And you win with the town? How long do you think you'll live? Do you think you'll die if every sentence you type is not in the form of a question?

[IceGuy]

You're the

Tautologist

.

You have the abilities that are in your role PM. You win if you win.

[gorckat]

How about taking 13 roles from unrelated Theme games that don't rely on wonky mechanics and tossing them in to the same game with no warning?

There's got to be a way to make a Theme Soup viable.
