Worst role ideas?

[gorckat]

You are

The Mafia Dewey Decimal System

. All posts referenced by another player (whether a post in this game or not and including quotes) must be categorized, by you, using the following system:

AA (2-letter code referring to the site name)
AAA (3-letter code referencing game size and type: M-Micro, N- Normal, L-Large / N-Normal, T-Theme, E-Experimental / C-Closed, O-Open, S-Semi-open)
##### (5 digit code using leading zeros for on-site game number)
##### (5 digit code using leading zeroes for in-game post number)
AAAA (First four characters of the poster's name)
(r) (Indicates the post was made by a replacement for another player)
(x) (Indicate the post was made by a replaced player)
(c) (Indicates post includes a claim)

As an example, this post would be coded as:

MS.NNC.00504.00475.OMAN(c)

Each day your first post must include the game's entire catalog of references. (Spoiler tags, please- I'm reading this game, too!)

Each post you make must include the catalog entry of any post since your last post.

You may PM other players to get off-site details of posts they reference.

Incomplete data may be marked as an asterix, but only for one post.

If a player you have PM'd for data does not answer you and posts in-game, tell me. I'll mod-kill them.

You win with the town, but only if you are consistent about maintaining your records.

Super-Vengeful Townie: If you die by any means you can immediately kill another player of your choice in retaliation. That player becomes a Super-Vengeful Townie/Goon before dying.

That actually sound pretty fun. You're popcorning

for death

Your name would show up as : N---

[Axxle]

Super-Vengeful Townie: If you die by any means you can immediately kill another player of your choice in retaliation. That player becomes a Super-Vengeful Townie/Goon before dying.

WMD: If you die, immediately kill all other players.

So basically it fits the Worst Roles thread perfectly.

I try my best.

(The explanations of the implications are for casual viewers of this thread who might see past them otherwise. Myself, I'm a Worst Roles

connoisseur

. When I'm writing a bad role, I try my best to make it truly bad, and yet possible to place in a real (bastard mod) game.)

You are the

Anti-Player

You can't post or vote until you die. You are replaced if you post more than once every 72h.You may talk to other players outside of the game thread. You lose if you are still alive by the end of the game. You win if a 3rd party wins.

You are the

Cop-cop

Every night you can investigate a player to see if they are a cop. You win with XXX

Spoilered fan

Oh no! Your favorite book/game/movie has just come out and someone spoiled the end for you before you saw/read/played it! This deserves payback! Now everyone must be spoiled.
The final result of this game will be [Insert faction win here]. You must say this on thread at least once every game day, to remind the other players of it. No matter who 'wins' this game, your prediction will be counted as the official result of the game. You win if everyone ceases playing and no longer has fun in the game.

[UberNinja]

Wow, there are some really good ones on this page. I love post 3700 ( <-- not done right on purpose).

[Kimor]

Die-agrammer - You must only post in JPGs of diagrammed sentences. Failure to do so will result in a modkill.

[Toon Fighter]

You are a

Kill stealer

Every night you MUST target a player. If that player was going to be killed, you kill him instead. The person who targeted him in the first place is blocked and does not show up to watchers or trackers, just you. If that person wasn't going to die tonight, nothing happens. You win with town.

[saulres]

^Like a Miller, I think you'd claim that right away. Would play similarly, I imagine.

[Cheery Dog]

I'd be targeting likely vig targets if I had that role - nothing wrong with stealing the credit from a vig for a good shot, unless the watcher was trying to confirm a vig of course.

[Mehdi2277]

Or just never act. That role isn't compulsive, and screwing up a watcher/tracker's results isn't useful (taking credit isn't a good enough reason since it just means you care quite a bit about town cred).

[saulres]

That role isn't compulsive

Umm... Yes it is.

Every night you MUST target a player.

[Axxle]

I'd like to see a compulsive Dayvig added to that role, with a requirement that you must target the L-1 lynch candidate.

[Cheery Dog]

That just makes everyone hated

[Axxle]

It'd fit with the kill-steal theme though.

[Mehdi2277]

Hated really isn't a bad modifier unless it's lylo. Everyone just starts treating L-2 as the new L-1 (where hammer intent would have to be given at L-2).

And saul I'm blind. Well in that case then just continually target yourself. You won't mess up any of the kills unless you die and if you did well at least it doesn't make you look guilty so that minimizes trouble some (although if I was a tracker who saw someone target themselves I wonder what I'd think).

[Cheery Dog]

No roles should be able to target themselves ever.

[Mehdi2277]

The only roles I've seen occasionally target itself is mainly some forms of doc and governor. Although if a role doesn't ban it and you see an interesting use it's a good idea to ask.

[Axxle]

Look at the thread name, back at me, now back at the thread name...

[Cheery Dog]

I want usable worst ideas.

Making them annoying to play, however not doing something stupid to the mechanics of the game.

[Leafsnail]

You are a

Spawn Camper

Before the game starts choose one player. You will publicly kill them in the day opening post. If that player ever comes back to life you will kill them again.

[Faraday]

No roles should be able to target themselves ever.

Why? What's wrong with a watcher watching themselves (or at least allowing it).

Self vigging should be allowed too, really.

[izakthegoomba]

Yeah. Some roles really don't make sense though (except possibly in a bastard game).

[Faraday]

Jailkeeper trying to self target is something I've seen less than zero times, which gets a little weird. (I mean it shouldn't be allowed, obviously)
