Worst role ideas?

[saulres]

If we did I don't remember it.

But my memory's not always so good

[YYR]

Yeah, just checked. It was an endgame jester (daykilled Day 1 so that's probably why you don't remember). The only real difference is that the endgame jester could theoretically win at MyLo while your role can't.

[izakthegoomba]

And it could have been so fun, too...

[callforjudgement]

I know I put limited-playercount jesters in face-to-face games for a while; I don't think there were any wins. (The rule was that they had to get lynched with 6 or fewer players remaining as town, or 4 or fewer as scum.)

[McStab]

You are a

Mafia Usurper

. You win when your partner,

xxxxx

is eliminated and the mafia have won.

This setup is

Whiteflag

.

[Venmar]

^ That is just cruel.

[callforjudgement]

It's theoretically winnable if the mod allows you to endgame your own scumbuddy. (Most mods don't, but I'm not sure whether that's through choice or just because they didn't think of it. Although come to think of it, it'd kind of make Usurper pointless.)

EDIT: You are a

Mafia Endgame Jester

. You win if you are endgamed.

[Ythan]

Most mods don't

You've asked?

[saulres]

You are the

Lead Sheep

. When you place a vote, all other players automatically vote for the same person/thing you did.

You win with the town.

[Mehdi2277]

Isn't a lead sheep just a kingmaker? And kingmakers are only as good as the player with the role and makes the game a lot less interesting for everyone else

[saulres]

Well that's why it's a Worst role

[callforjudgement]

Mehdi: no, it's not a Kingmaker, it's a King. A Kingmaker is someone who makes other players into Kings (and is traditionally guaranteed to be town).

[izakthegoomba]

cfj is right, but it's a permanent king, which is much worse.

[YYR]

I wouldn't call it a King. You could simply refrain from voting except for hammer votes. Of course, if it lands in the hand of a VI, it'll probably become a game of trying to quicklynch him at the beginning of every Day before he has time to post.

[izakthegoomba]

It would take a spectacularly dumbassish VI to get to the point that a start-of-day quicklynch is necessary.

[saulres]

Nah. It just takes someone who RVSes before reading their role PM...

I've actually wanted to come up with a good "role which screws up the town until they manage to lynch them before they get to post" for a while.

What about this one:

You are a

Mafia Sunsinker

. Whenever you post, the day instantly ends as a no-lynch.

Shouldn't take long for town to figure it, but whether they can get the quicklynch in fast enough is another matter.

[saulres]

Sunsinker

You are

Joshua

. As long as you are alive, the day never ends.

[callforjudgement]

@saulres: Wow, that's pretty awful indeed; I don't think it can be resolved without dayvig or modkill. (Unless you consider lynches to happen before the end of the day.)

[quadz08]

Survivor Joshua

is clearly the best variant.

[Guy_Named_Riggs]

Yeah, just checked. It was an endgame jester (daykilled Day 1 so that's probably why you don't remember).

I claim all the credit of killing that role by the way
(and of course Izak for giving me the role to do it)

Well you had to shoot

someone

.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

1x Mafia Lead Sheep.
1x Mafia Governor (cannot stop own lynch).

19x Vanilla Townies.

Nightless.

[Klazam]

That setup might work if there was 1 day vig amongst the townies

[inspiratieloos]

Would it be open?
