The betting would be on who dies in the night, right? Or on who gets lynched the following day for mafia members.

I think the inventions would be on sale from the inventor VIA the moderator, so you would order from the moderator, the moderator would tell the inventor who ordered what, and then the inventor would visit them. It is a bit complex though.

You are the
Bi polar Killer/suicider


If you would die, the player who killed you/hammered you dies instead. If you get targeted by someone that wouldn't kill you, you die instead. You win with town

You are the
innocent scum


You show up innocent in investigations. If you die, the person who killed/hammered you will be blocked until the end of the game. You can ask the mod to publicly announce you as innocent. You win with scum

[Modnote: If solicited, the mod will announce him as guilty. Will also appear scum to investigations]

You are the
Tomato thrower


Every night you may throw a tomato at someone. They will be covered in tomato and be devoured by any vegetarians in the game. You win with town

You are the
vegetarian


Every night you may choose a player's house to visit. If they have any meat in their homes, you will lock them in the house for the next day out of spite, preventing from posting or voting. You win if there are no more meat eaters at the end of the game.

[Modnote: every other player has meat but 1 tomato thrower ]

You are an
Obstacle
.

You only really exist to get in the way of town's behaviour. Really, they'd all be better off if you got out of the way and they could get on with focusing on the scum rather than wondering about your alignment.

You win if half the living players publicly say in thread that they'd like to give you a win. (You cannot offer to give yourself a win.) You lose if you die before this happens, or the game ends before this happens. While you're alive, you count as anti-town for the purpose of other players' win conditions.

Probably quite easy to win with. (There are various ways to make it harder, by making the town having to give up something to give the Obstacle a win, or by making the action that gives the Obstacle a win something unclear, like posting a particular word in the thread that has no obvious relation to the game.) Also allows for the possibility of a nobody-wins endgame if you're left with just one townie and one obstacle.

That endgame only is nobody-wins if the townie is stubborn.

Not bastard, just theme-y. Might be bastard if time shenanigans weren't advertised, I suppose.

Of course, the town could just get annoyed and lynch the Obstacle anyway :/

You are the
arsehole
.

As long as you are in the game, a random town-aligned player other than yourself will die at night. You win with the town.

Semi-equivalent to a jester, but without the wincon. Also, there is the 'to claim, or not to claim?' question. 'Should I make town lynch me or am I better than those fuckers at finding scum?'

You are a
Naive Miller
. You investigate as scum, but all investigations on you are naive and so incorrectly reveal you as town. You win with the town.

(Discussion: No, this isn't 100% equivalent to VT, and it could be a nasty shock for a player who assumes it is. Although it would be if it were somehow allowed into a Normal, it has bad interactions with at least one common Theme role.)

That's really not all that bad as long as you know about the double rule (except for the lack of knowing your own alignment which always just sucks). I think I've done around that much in a day before.

Convince people to lynch you D1 or D2, hope your alignment that day is that of the winning faction.

I disagree. You're probably town or scum (if you're 3rd party with a strange win con you're just screwed). If you're scum you can win by living to the end. If you're town you win by just lynching scum. In that case I'd probably try to lynch scum while living to the end (kind of like a town survivor) so that'd cover both main ways to win.
