You are a
Disgruntled Player
. You must request a replacement out of the game in this playerslot's first post of every day and you (the player) cannot post after making this request. If a replacement is not found by the next day this playerslot is modkilled. You cannot tell other people about this posting restriction or you will be forcibly replaced.

You are the
Wagon Maker


Every time you vote for a player that has no votes, the two players that haven't changed their vote for the most time during this Day automatically change their votes to match yours. If several players haven't voted this Day, the players will be chosen randomly. You win if you can change the same player's vote 3 times or manage to lynch someone by yourself.

You are the
watcher watcher

You can choose a player each night, if they are watcher, you will watch them

You are the
doctor doctor

You can choose a player each night, if they are a doctor, you will protect them

You are the
tracker tracker

You can choose a player each night, if they are a tracker, you will track them

You are the
vig

You must choose a player each night, if they are a vig, you will kill them

You are the
roleblocker roleblocker

You can choose a player each night, if they are a roleblocker, you will roleblock them

Repeat for your favourite role ^^
Double voter - can double vote for double voters
Serial Killer - can only kill SK
arsonist, poisoner, etc...

No one said the VC had to be correct or that the VC had to be a properly done VC

Meaning that you could use it to your advantage, IE: Putting multiple votes on the same person, screwing with people's votes and making people lose track.

The whole watcher watcher thing needs generalising.

You are a
Role Reflector
. Each night, you may target a player. If that player has a night action, you will use that player's night action on that player.

(Would work with any alignment, but is probably overpowered as town, because it's basically a vig who doesn't work on most townies, with some extra upside, like protecting doctors. Probably it shouldn't work on factional kills.)

That role's incredibly awesome. :P

The only reason it's "worse" is because of just how OP it is; it also acts as a rolecop, since if you track them, you know they're a tracker, if you watch them, you know they're a watcher, if you cop them, you know they're a cop, and so on.

Yeah, it's mindbogglingly OP as town, but pretty balanced as groupscum, and quite interesting as SK.

Spoiler: Gambit Bulletproof Survivor.
Welcome Salamence20,

You are the
Gambiting Bulletproof Survivor.


On your first post every day, you must claim scum. Failure to do so results in a modkill. Talking about your post restriction results in a modkill.

You are immune to all night kills.

You win when you are the only thing left alive.


Spoiler: God's eye
Welcome Salamence20,

You are the
God's Eye
.

You know all the roles and powerroles. You can speak to mod in a PM for whatever reason you feel like.

However, you can not speak in the thread, and you can not vote.

You win with the town.

"Talking about your post restriction results in a modkill" is actually very easy to telegraph.

The simplest method is to, whenever anyone asks you about your post restriction, explicitly and obviously talk about something completely unrelated. You'll get at least one person figuring it out just from that.

God's Eye, as written, shows up in the vote count and is a legal target for actions.

As such, the game would likely be broken if it also contained a town neighbourizer; if you're in a bastard game and see someone completely unable to communicate (but who isn't being replaced for some reason), they're probably the #1 most obvious neighbourization target.

Hmm.

A town neighbourizer that changes the alignment of all players it neighbourizes to scum, keeping their role?

Now that's a pretty bad role, just in the abstract!

(Well, assuming they're naive. If they're knowing, it's just a role that would never be used, or policy lynch itself if compulsive. Or self-target if they could, but they probably couldn't.)

Spoiler: Town Leader
Welcome Salamence20,

You are the
Town Leader
.

You have control of Three votes, yours, and two other sheepers, x and y. You do not know their alignments.

If you ever reach lylo, you will become a VT, since your sheepers have no faith in you for not winning the game a long time ago.


Spoiler: Sheeper
Welcome Salamence20,

You are
a sheeper
.

You must sheep your town leader, player x.

You will gain the ability to freely vote if you reach lylo.


Spoiler: Evil Personified
Welcome Salamence20,

You are
evil personified
:evil: .

You are invincible. You are also mafia, sounds perfect, right?

You will auto die on day 7. Good luck.


Spoiler: UN and Tierce
Welcome Salamence20,

You are Uberninja.

You are town aligned. You must be careful however, because if you vote Tierce, you will die with her to prevent modkillings and arguements.

Welcome Salamence20,

You are Tierce.

You are town aligned. You must be careful however, because if you vote Uberninja, you will die with him to prevent modkillings and arguements

UN and Tierce do not know the other


Spoiler: Fate

You know Fate's going to claim a power role regardless of what his role actually is. (Not always, but a surprisingly large proportion of the time.)

You are the CASH GIVER.

Every night give 1 player 10 bucks.

These bucks will be needed to buy inventions from the inventor.

You win with the town.

Then you would have to tell them who the inventor is, or they would have to find out.

If they find out then the inventor is useless because the Mafia will just kill them.

Was thinking about making a mechanic involving gambling though. Roullete Mafia I think I was gonna call it. Probably won't though.
