Proper town play when you think someone is a jester is to lynch it anyway, unless it's a game-ending jester, which is just bad moderating.

I was thinking it would be interesting in a bastard game to have two heads of a hydra be on opposing teams

You are the
COMPULSIVE CULT RECRUITER


Every night you must recruit one player into the cult. They share a PM with you and win with the cult.

You win with the town.

How is that worse than a regular Cult Recruiter?

Haha, and the topic goes full circle.

(For people who don't know: this topic was created in response to a game full of Worst roles, before the concept of Worst roles had really become popularised; the game predated the topic. Compulsive Town Cult Recruiter was one of the roles in that game.)

I think I pulled a (bastard) role like that once, except I was told I was a Mason Recruiter.

e: Actually I'm not sure if it was a mason leader specifically, but it was something that isn't cult recruiter.

You are the
Super
executioner


While you are alive, at deadline the player with the most votes is lynched.

Also, there are 2 lynches per day as long as you are alive.

1 time only, you can prevent a person from being lynched.

You have 2 votes per day phase, and if lynched will

A. If it is the first lynch, make a vengekill
B. If the second, Add another lynch to the DP

You win with the town.

You are
James Warren Jones, Modified Arsonist Cult Recruiter
.

You may target one player each Night and recruit them into your cult. In addition, any player that targets you will be recruited into your cult. All Cult members lose their previous abilities.

At any point in the game, you may choose to have you and every member of your cult commit suicide.

You and all of your cult members win if everyone dies.

Mod note: If a Cop would normally be recruited into the Cult, it instead immediately triggers James' suicide ability, killing him, the Cop, and all members of the Cult.

You are
Passive Aggressive
.

Every real life day while you are alive you must post in a different Mafia Discussion thread. Your post has to contain at least one barely concealed reference to this game (eg creating a role based on someone you're arguing with in the Worst role ideas? thread).

You are not allowed to mention or hint at this posting requirement in the mafia thread or in the site at large. You also cannot acknowledge that you are doing it.

You win if there are no mafia members remaining and you have not received a ban.

Hmm, that gives me an idea.

You are x (i'm bad with role names, okay?)

You will commit suicide night 1/2/3. If you are lynched, you will not be killed.

Your partners are Y and Z.

You win if every member of your group is lynched.

Haha, roles like that are established enough that it actually has a standard name (even though I don't think that particular variant's been used in the past): "Suicidal Mime".

That's not actually such a terrible role, it's superior to Town Villager. Imagine it was in an Open Set-Up, and the only other PR role was Town Doctor. If you get targeted, and don't die, you know the identity of the Doctor. If you get targeted by two people, and don't die, you know one is Doctor, and one is Scum. I mean, the occasions on which it will be useful are rather limited, but it still has advantages to a vanilla town.
