Worst role ideas?

[inspiratieloos]

I figured a townie whose role is specifically anti-town would be worse than a 3rd party's role which is anti-town.

It's not really anti-town if you can just claim in your first post and watch the other townies lynch the scum.

[kondi2424]

You are a

Cop

. [insert blah blah explanation here]. You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated.

[mod note - is actually a

Cop with Short-Term Memory Loss

. The slot will be force-replaced at the end of every night, and replacements will be told that all results were unsuccessful.]

[izakthegoomba]

You are the

Grammar Nazi

.

You win when you've corrected at least ten grammar mistakes from other players or the mod.

Too easy. Make it 30 or something.

[Shiidaji]

You are the

Cop gone bad

Once the best cop of the academy, you were asked to infiltrate a mafia group. You entered with the best of intentions, but years in there made you change your mind. You came to embrace the life of crime, and turned into a real mafia.

You have a buddy cop XXXX, to whom you can talk in this quicktopic [link]. He is still in the force, and knows you went undercover, but trusts you with his life. Your mafia partners are YYY and ZZZ, talk to them here [link]. You win with mafia and show up guilty. Good luck.

Paired with:

You are the

Buddy cop

. You are friends with XXX, a cop gone undercover in the mafia. He is still a member of town. You can talk to him here [link]. You can investigate one player per night. You win with town.


Would love to see how this would play in a game x)

Mafia would just kill the loyal cop N1, I think.

What if you edit the Buddy Cop role so that if he gets NK'd by the mafia, the Cop Gone Bad gets revealed publicly as scum?
Since the Buddy Cop and the Cop Gone Bad share a QT, an adept CGB could influence the Buddy Cop's investigation targets until the mafia need to kill him, etc.

[gorckat]

What about:

Cop gone bad can change the result of buddy cop's investigation.

Buddy cop is told when this happens.

It's not really anti-town if you can just claim in your first post and watch the other townies lynch the scum.

True, I didn't specify they can't claim. The idea, though, is that they can't give anyone any indication of who they truly are, for fear of the mob offing their family. So they'd have to claim VT (and flip as such too) and avoid any other method of communicating what they're not supposed to.

[inspiratieloos]

It could actually be a very good role if you give the scums something to kill it/make it lose but in a way that they aren't going to do it out of spite.

[inspiratieloos]

You have

Been Made An Offer

by the mafia. You are masons with [playername], who is a member of the Mafia, they have your family and can kill them if you go against them. If they do you become a Bulletproof Serial Killer who commits suicide when the last member of the Mafia dies (you can't win, but at least you'll get revenge). As long as your family lives you will get a new mason partner if the previous one dies.

You win when all members of the Mafia are dead, you lose if you are lynched. You are not a threat to the town.

The Mafia gets a copy of this role PM and isn't allowed to NK you.

I'm not sure if this is better, but it gives both sides a clear MAD option to not push each other too far. If he claims, the maf have no choice but to kill the family before the lynch because otherwise he'd know a new scum the next day. If the maf try to push him too far into anti-town territory he'll have no choice but to claim taking at least a scum with him.

Alternate wincon: If at any point there is only one Mafia member remaining you mount a rescue and leave the game with a win, you lose if you are lynched.

[kondi2424]

Why are you guys trying to make a "Worst Role" fair?

[inspiratieloos]

Boredom? The idea is interesting.

[Toon Fighter]

It's more interesting this way?

Anyway, if the Mafia kills the Buddy cop, the Cop gone bad has a change of heart and is turned into a SK that wins if he endgames a mafia? That way he can't turn the whole mafia in the topic, and the game is still exciting for both. Note: Cop gone bad does not know his role will change, and mafia are not informed of the change, only him.

As for the Been made an Offer, I think the family could actually be another player...

You are the

Kidnapped Family of XXX, who is being Blackmailed by the Mafia

. You are currently kidnapped by the mafia, and XXX is being blackmailed. You can't post in the thread or vote, for you are kidnapped. Every day, the mafia can send a message from you (edited by them, if they want) to XXX. You know that YYY may be the mafia member that is controlling XXX, but you can't prove it. Every night you can choose to either suicide, leaving the mafia with no leverage on XXX, eavesdrop, where you have a 50% chance of getting a transcript from the mafia QT and a 50% chance of getting caught (dying) or doing nothing. You win if XXX wins.

[RXK]

You are the

Pathological Liar

. You are a third party player under the impression that you are a Paranoid Cop. In reality, you're a miller mason with XXX with the night action of being able to roleblock one player each night. Mentioning that you are a miller, mason, cop or liar, however, results in you losing all powers. You win if you survive at the end of the game.

Actually you're a vanilla townie. You win with the town.

Except you're actually a mafia roleblocker.

Except not really, you really are a townie miller though.

Or maybe not.

[IceGuy]

Actually, Mental Illness Mafia might be a good successor to Sexual Roles Mafia.

You have

[saulres]

You have

[izakthegoomba]

You are

quickly developing Multiple Personality Disorder

.

Each night phase, you will be sent the login details for an alt of the mod. It will be publicly announced that the account is joining the game. You will then be required to control that account in addition to your main account. This will continue as long as at least one account you control is alive. Unfortunately, your personalities have no knowledge of each other - you may not reveal or hint at the fact that you control multiple account. If you do, your brain will go into meltdown and all accounts you control will be modkilled and turned into Survivors.

You win with the town.

Optional modnote: is only one person, in reality. If one personality dies, so do the rest.

Optional modnote: is only one person, in reality. The mod must get mith to grant themselves enhanced powers pre-game, then change the ownership of every post under an alt to the original account. Player is still modkilled if they reveal or hint at the fact that they control multiple accounts.

You are

.

You

are

Each night phase your hyperdimensional solarsoul is able to transcend the The Orbital Mobius Strip doglaw lurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee, able to ႣႯႦႿტჭႨႬ any player's role in a liminal state. However, being roleblocked means a cavernous yaw opens beneath you and you was swallowed into my own nightmare.

You win the game when all members of anti-town factions are stuck in a room with a mean-looking dwarf who keeps kicking them in the shins.

For reference, you are able to produce a photo of yourself for roleclaim purposes.

You win with the town.

Your last post in the game must be "/in".

You may not respond to questions posed to you, but you may respond in anticipation of questions which might be asked of you in the future.

Your "first" post of each day must be a vote accompanied by the words "Hammertime baby!"

You live your life in small snippets, backwards.
