You are the maul fowl voter jester.

If you vote for anyone, they will die in the next VC, with death flavour eaten by tigers. If you are killed by any means except modkill (even eaten by tigers), you are the sole winner. You can only vote for those with a bird avatar.

You are ???

If any player changes their avatar, they are modkilled and you win.

You are
Zeus
. Each night, you may select a player. That player becomes a lightning rod for all night actions. You win with the town.

Why's it a worst role idea? 'Cause of just how OP this is. :P If it were one-shot, sure, it could be a viable role, but every night?
For extra lulz (that is, making the role worse), include a PGO in the game.


Or how 'bout this?

You are a
Lightning station
. Once in the game, you can make all actions target you. If you are targeted by an action, your batteries are charged, and any further actions against you will kill the person taking them.
You win with the town.

Basically, a lightning rod-PGO hybrid.

Probably best if you make it "If you are targeted by a killing action,".

Damn, are we out of the "soul/sole" phase already and I missed the whole thing? :(

First thing came to my mind after the first variant:

You are the
Saul voter
.

You can only vote for saulres.

Randomly reading back a little...
In post 3108, IceGuy wrote:You're a

You may not post. If you post, you're modkilled. You will not be prodded or replaced. Any prod or replacement requests to the mod will be ignored.

You win if you survive until endgame.
This role could actually be made viable if as suggested they're given some sort of power--like, say, a PM-the-mod-for-votes, meaning they can actually vote for a player.
And/or maybe the ability to once per day (if benevolent) or once in the game (if a little less so :P) or once per game phase (if you want to make it actually worth it), allow the player to speak through the moderator, via a single message. (Probably public.)

That role was actually made to express my frustrations about a mod who had a bunch of lurkers in their game and didn't bother to prod or replace them.

You are SUPERMAN PRIME
You are super-overpowered and can use as many abilities a night as you wish.
Here are your abilities:
IMMUNITY: 1-shot Unaffected by all other night actions ability
CREATION: 1-shot Can make the mod make a bacteria that cures disease, making him a doctor the np after he uses this
Resurrection: Can 1-shot revive a player(including himself if he dies), and if lynched with no mafia on the band wagon, auto-revives without using a revive.
Omniscience: He can see the Mafia PM, although the identities are hidden.
Omnipresent: 1-time makes his powers affect everybody playing in the game for that night phase.(includes him)
Super Strength: Due to his strength, he gains a 1-shot piercing kill ability.
Xray Vision: Can see past role-blockers, meaning he cannot be role blocked.
Heat vision: Can 1-time ignite up to 5 players, allowing him to kill them next np.
Godlike Endurance: If selected by a kill, he will not die unless targeted 2 night phases in a row.
IMMORTALITY: Screw it, you knew he was over-powered already.

You win with... Oh screw it, he'll win no matter what

P.S You actually win with the cult.

Your are a Playful Spirit.

Every night you can target one player. That player's win condition will be changed to "You win if you are lynched".

You win if you are the only player left alive.

You are the
vengeful counterclaimer
.

When you die, you flip as the player who hammered you.

Variant: you actually switch roles with that player.

You are the INFILTRATOR

You gain all reprecussions of it.
You win with the town.

Mod Note: IF sees cult PM, will join cult. If sees Lover PM, makes awkward love triangle, If sees mafia PM, becomes a member of the mafia.

Do you mean QT?

Or is it also like, you target a cop (who PMs action to the mod), and the player becomes a cop as well?

Yes, I meant Quicktopic, I just didn't word it right. It's sort of like a undercover cop, except you have to find who is in the mafia first.

You are a
Framing Suicidal
.

You have a one-shot
Suicide
action, which can be used at any time. Your death will be posted publicly in thread, and you will flip as Vanilla Town.

You win if you use your action, and in doing so you have the Town convinced that
Player X
was the murderer. They must not be the leading wagon at the time of your suicide, but in order for you to win they are to be the next player to be lynched.
no.
