Not really, we needed one more for a bastard game setup and had trouble finding one so I was asked to double in (I replaced into a game where I was previously lynched on the fourth game on the site, so having two Axxles sort of part of the history there). Since it's a bastard game it's not so bad, but that's the trouble with a low count playerbase I guess.-

Naive Mastermind Role PM wrote:Role:
You are aNaive Mastermind. You do not know who you are aligned with. You know everyone else's alignment, but not your own. You are aligned with one of the factions currently in the game. (This faction is pre-determined by the Moderator.)
Abilities:
- Each Night, you act as a RoleCop. You may target a player, and you will be notified of their Role.
- If you are investigated, role investigated, tracked, etc., by any other player, that player will receive "Null," no matter if they investigate, role investigate, track, etc.
- If you are roleblocked, jailkept, etc., by any other player, you may not perform your Night Action that Night. You will not be notified of this; you will not receive a result from the Moderator at Dawn.
- Even if you are aligned with the Mafia, or any other faction(s) involving QuickTopics, you will not have access to them.
Win Condition:
You win if your faction wins.Last edited by mcqueen on Mon Mar 04, 2013 11:20 am, edited 3 times in total.-

You are aCrazed Duelist. There is another player in the game with an identical role to yours.
You can kill another player in the day by PMing me with your target. After you use your daykill you will be unable to daykill again until one of the following happens:
1. 24 realtime hours have passed
2. The other Crazed Duelist has performed a daykill
You win if you are the only living Crazed Duelist. You lose if you die and there is another Crazed Duelist alive.-

You are the (fake)WITCH HUNTER.
Each night phase, select a target. The cop will automatically be redirected to them and the target will show up as guilty.
The cop is (otherwise)sane.
You win with the mafia, but are not a part of the mafia PM. The mafia do now know of your existence.
If you get the witch lynched while the cop is still alive you win ahead of the mafia.
Witch's role/
If you get the townspeople to lynch to lynch the witch hunter and the mafia, you win ahead of them both.
You can silence one person a night, but not the same person more then once.
You win if the mafia die.-

Crazed Hyprocite
Whenever you are lynched, the player with the next highest amount of votes will be lynched, instead of you. If two players are tied with the 2nd most votes, the player who obtained this amount of votes first, will be the lynchee.
Mirror
Any Night Actions done to you will be done to the player who targeted you. This includes: Nightkills / poisons, investigations, role investigations, protections, jailkeeps, roleblocks, tracks, hides, bus drives, etc.
Tree Roots
You are the Tree Stump's Roots. You and the Tree Stump may talk in a QuickTopic during the Day. Neither of you can be lynched, nor do either of you count as an alive player, but you may talk and post during the Day. Whenver the Tree Stump dies, the Tree Roots die with it.

You know all the roles and alignments of every player in the game, but you may not talkat allduring the game, unless it is to vote. Violations of your Post Restriction will result in an immediate Modkill, no matter how little or how big the violation is.-

(Even though that would be a pretty unrealistic scenario, this role is also unrealistic as all hell.)
Also, what would be the wincon? Staying alive until the end of the game?This is not a signature. | This is your daily reminder to worship the dancing sandwich.-

Hard to be an SK with this role, since you don't have a kill - you know, the thing that differentiates an SK from a survivor.
Beyond that, if you know much about game balance, it generally shouldn't be too hard to figure out your alignment - especially not after a few Nights' worth of lynches, kills, and rolecop results. Proper play probably involves rolecopping the scumteam(s) first, to get a sense of their power level and specifically if it looks like they need another player to be balanced against what's flipped and what's been claimed by town.Discretion is the better part of valor.
If I helped lynch you, you deserved it.
Retired from playing for the foreseeable future.-

Post limitation:You hav a brokn "E" ky on your kyboard. You cannot typ any word--including bbcod--with that strok. If you violat this post limitation, you'll burn via modkill.
Do you know how many words use the letter e?
This would be an insanely hard post restriction, as it prevents you from using quote tags as a side-effect.
And also from using vote tags. (But not from voting, sinceVot: mastin2would be valid to all but the cruelest of mods. ) Also, you can't type out the full name of any player with an e in their name.My academy.

Most Moderators don't do that. They let you type out player names, votes, etc. But for all other text, the restriction applies.-

Cant you just count the number of mafia players and see if it's the right amount for that game? Right amounts = you being town, wrong amounts = you being mafia?I swear I'm trying my best

Depends on the game size. On certain game sizes, it's pretty unambiguous, but on others, it could go one way or the other, and you can't tell from alignment alone. Presumably, that's where the rolecop aspect comes in.In post 4071, Venmar wrote:Cant you just count the number of mafia players and see if it's the right amount for that game?
