I like xtopherusD's role. The VT flip prevents you using the usual cop-claim method of winning as lyncher. (People might be wondering who caused the death, I guess. Could you perhaps frame the target as a day SK, or the like?)

You are the conspiracy theorist.

If 2 or more players vote the exact same way, then they become part of the conspiracy

Immediately, there is a vote.

Whoever says they are a part of the conspiracy, they get an extra vote when voting against a member of the conspiracy.

Whoever doesn't hoverer, cannot vote against them.

You win when you take down the conspiracy.

You are a
Gambling Serial Killer
.

Once per day you can post a 1d20 set of dice tags. The number you roll on the dice is the number of votes you can cast today (if you haven't rolled yet you can only vote once). You win when you are the sole surviving player.

That is fucking awesome. There should be some sort of negative on that though since it's gambling.

In the case of a critical failure every other player gains 20 votes.

You are the
Kung Fu Master


Any time someone performs an action on you, you hit them with a kick and they are out, roleblocked for the night and unable to vote during the next day.

You win with town.

---

You are the
Pacifist Cult Leader


You can't vote to lynch, as that is against your ideals. You may target someone every night. If you target someone who has been a victim of the Kung Fu Master, or has been targeted to die at some point of the game, you will convince them to join your pacifism cult. They lose any harming powers they may have (vigilant, serial killer, mafia, bodyguard, etc. loses kill) but keep their other powers.

You win if your cult makes up more than 50% of the town, at which point every non-cult player that can still kill loses.

Pacifist Cult Leader is brilliant, partly because it can reasonably easily lead to every single player in the game winning simultaneously.

@funkybike1: It would, cops normally have no reason to investigate innocent children. I guess if they had sanity doubts, they might, but they probably still wouldn't in a bastard game because it'd give yet more layers of bastard to try to unravel. (And this thread's roles are unlikely to be used in non-bastard games.)

@Timeater: that sounds really broken, but actually, possibly it isn't. You'd confirm a bunch of townies and maybe one scum to start off with, but scum would get wise after a bit.

Or cfj the player with that role could say I want to be investigated. Me being investigated causes the cop to gain powers. I don't want to specify more on how my role works.

Hmm, I guess. Being confirmed town the town would probably believe them.

You are
The Distracter
.

You must fake one or more post restrictions of your choice for the duration of the game; please be aware that your chosen restriction(s) will NOT be enforced in any way, and you are not expected to inform the moderator of their nature.

You win when 7 consecutive posts are purely dedicated to talking about your post restriction(s), AND at least 90% of the players in this game have referenced your restriction(s) in some way.

Should be "7 consecutive posts by other players", or that part of the wincon is really easy to fulfil.

You are an
Accident Waiting to Happen

If you are not lynched by the end of Day Two, you will do something incredibly stupid and end up killing yourself along with two thirds of the Town.
If you are killed Night One, you will flip as an Nightkill Immune Jester before being revived to play in Day Two.

You win with the Town.


You are an
Accident that Already Happened
.

When you confirm your role in thread, you do something incredibly stupid and end up killing yourself along with two thirds of the Town.

You win with the Town.


You are an
Accident that Keeps on Happening

That made me think of something...

You are the
Tweeter

You may not make any post longer than 140 characters. You may not double post. If questioned regarding the length of your posts, you must reply, "that's the character limit, fool".

You win with the town.

And your thinking of something made me think of something! Aren't ideas fun?


You are a
Terrible Tweeter
.

Your posts must be no longer than 140 characters long, and you may not double post.
You must also speak in "trrbly & ovrly abrv8d txt spk", even if you are nowhere near the character limit.

You win only if people get over this stupid thing called
Facebook
.


(inspired, of course, by the mouse-over text of xkcd #1083.
And by extension the original poster of that idea.)
no.
