@saulres: I love the way you left the win condition off that role. If it was a mistake, well, it
should
be deliberate.

This could actually work for some of the large theme games that have happened that have two threads for one game. That is if it has not already been done.
How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder,
without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better,
and not the world about them?

You are
Self-conscious and Shy
. You're so insecure about yourself and your role that you may not claim your role, lest someone make fun of it and you. Lying about what role you have would be like admitting your role really
does
suck, and that would be too hard to face. So just don't claim anything. Ever.

You win with the town.

It'd be pretty cool if you aimed for yourself. Like walking in front of the bullet in bullet time!

It COULD be awesome, IF you could figure out the complex time shenanigans. But then there's driving into the future, the mod needs to use knowledge that doesn't exist yet.

You are the
Time Paradox
. Every night you may target a player. That player will die in the corresponding night in their previous game, changing the rest of the game afterwards, and removing them from this game entirely. You may target yourself. You win if you can make 3 different games have different winners due to your shenanigans.

Sounds awesome. You could redirect the action of confirmed scum from a dead townie to a scumread, lurker, or VI, bringing the dead townie back into the game in place of the one you don't want. Could guarantee a win in 3-person LyLo.

Here's an expandment on that:

Each night, you must switch the targets of the actions of two players at different points in time or in a different game, including games that have ended. At least one action must come from a different game each night. Aligned with town.

You are a

An improvement on saulres's role.

You are a shy cop. You can investigate one person per night to learn their alignment. You may not claim your role, in case someone makes fun of you and making a claim that is a lie would be like admitting that your role does suck, which is too hard to face. So just don't ever make a claim. Ever.

You win with the town.

Also, this.

You are a lyncher. You must lynch player X to win. If you do this you win.

Mod Notes: Loses if he gets killed that night.

You are a vengeful jester. You must be lynched and, with your vengekill, kill the lyncher who thinks he has just won, to win.

You are the
Virus Robot
.

Warning: You have a virus. Whenever you post, the mod will have the will to change your post to something completely different and will turn against you. This will be noted by "zzz" If you get lynched or night-killed, this virus will be passed to one random person.

You win when you are dead and the virus gets passed over to 3 other players.

Deathnote Mafia.
Each player gives their "real" names to the mod at the beginning of the game.

You are
Shinigami
. Each night, you get to know a player's name. You won't be told their usernames.
You then must select another player and if that player is a
User
will know the username respective to the player. But won't know the respective player name.
You are third party. You can leave the game with a victory if a Deathnote-Town mentions the real name of Deathnote-Scum or vice versa.

You are
User
. Each night, you must target a player.

You are
Deathnote - Town
.
If you are targetted at night by a User who has received information from the Shinigami, you will be notified of the real name of a player.
If you mention a player's "real", full name in your post, that player will die. You win with the Town.

You are
Deathnote -Scum

If you are targetted at night by a User who has received information from the Shinigami, you will be notified of the real name of a player.
If you mention a player's "real", full name in your post, that player will die. You win with the Scum.



This has probably been done before.

Actually I think he meant.

Deathnote Mafia.
Each player gives their 'zzz' DRUG ABUSE to the mod at the beginning of the game.

You are
Shinigami
. Each night, you get to know a player's "zzz" PRIVATE DOINGS!
You then must select another player and if that player is "zzz' an
Overweight Hooker
will know "zzz" THAT THEY GET NAKED! But won't know the "zzz" OTHER NAKED PERSON IN THE ROOM!"
You are third party. You can leave the game with a victory if a Deathnote-Town mentions the real name of Deathnote-Scum or vice versa.

You are
User
. Each night, you must 'zzz' R*PE A PLAYER!

You are
Deathnote - Town
.
If you are targetted at night by a User who has received information from the "zzz" DRUG DEALER, you will be notified that "zzz" THE
USER
GETS NAKED WITH THE OVERWEIGHT HOOKER!
If you mention a player's "zzz" "PRIVATE DOINGS" in your post, that player will die. You win with the Town.

You are

You are a
Mountain
.

You're rather self-centered. So you're upset that this isn't a mountainous game. (How do you know it isn't a mountainous game? Because you aren't a VT, and you aren't a goon. Because you're a mountain.) In fact, you refuse to acknowledge that the game isn't mountainous. So you have your own personal gamestate in which no night actions happen but the Mafia NK. (The mod will tell you every morning who's still alive from your point of view.)

If you're lynched, nothing will happen, as the town attempt to figure out how to fit a tens-of-thousands-of-feet-tall mountain into a ten-or-so-foot-tall gallows. Come to think of it, f you're shot, nothing will happen. Because you're a mountain. Likewise, if you're stabbed, nothing will happen. You can be pecked to death by birds, but it takes millions of years. In fact, you're effectively immune to pretty much anything short of nuclear explosions. Except drowning. (Why are you vulnerable to drowning? Because mountains can't swim. Duh!)

You have no powers but your voice and your vote. (OK, I know
technically
, under the laws of most countries, mountains aren't allowed to vote. But if a mountain walked into a polling station, would
you
try to stop it?) Well, anyone who visits you has a chance of getting lost. Mountains are kind-of big. (Except Trackers. They're used to that sort of thing.)

Finally, as everyone knows, belief can move mountains. So if anyone in another game accidentally votes for you when they mean someone else entirely, you have to leave this game and attempt to replace into that one. Oh, and you win if you fullclaim and anyone actually believes you. (Who's alive from your point of view.)

I would say good luck. But whoever heard of a mountain being
lucky
?

this thread took a turn for the awesome.

Although technically, shouldn't it be: "You are Muhammad. You win if the mountain comes to you."
