You can't figure out this whole voting thing no matter how many times it's explained to you. So instead, when the mod makes the third vote count of each day, you assume that's the final votecount of the day, and the person with the plurality of votes is lynched. You cannot post again until the next day, and on that and subsequent days you can't respond to anyone who you think has been lynched even if they really haven't been.
That isn't a worst role, that is the BEST fucking role ever

Things I've learned.
1. It's just a game, have fun.
2. Don't waste time on people who think you are scum. Ignore them and keep scum hunting.
3. Don't take everything so personal.
4. Tunneling sucks (unfortunately I can't seem to stop)

THANK YOU!!!
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Unfortunately, you have been killed before the game even started. However, your death will be mentioned in the game's intro.

You win when all threats to the town is eliminated.
Back in the day, we called that role JEEP.
Let me guess... that happened to him?
Him and other oldtimers yeah, back when the userbase was smaller. One reason Docs were so popular in Night Start was to let those people play the game more often.

Revival Cult Leader

Once per night, you may revive one dead player of any alignment, with the exceptions which will be mentioned later. The revived player keeps any previous abilities. If and only if there are no revivable players, you can kill one heretic. If and only if there are no revivable players or heretics, you can convert one innocent to your cult, that player will lose all previous abilities. You and your living followers win when the cult consists of everyone alive. If you die, the cult becomes leaderless. At the end of a night where the cult is leaderless, each cultist can PM the moderator declaring themselves to do one of the following:
1. Kill X (Where X is innocent), become the leader.
2. Kill self, resurrect old leader.
3. Do nothing.
If every cultist does nothing, they all die.
If multiple people kill themselves, all who killed themselves will die and the old leader will be resurrected.
If multiple leaders rise (If the old leader is resurrected, they count the same as the new leaders. If they are not resurrected and one leader rises, they become a heretic. If they are not resurrected and multiple leaders rise, they become a martyr), a schism occurs and all the cultists who did nothing are given the choice of which leader to follow, multiple cults form, and anyone who follows another leader is a heretic.

Definitions of terms:
Heretic: Someone who joined another cult in the schism where they split from yours, or a former leader who was replaced without a schism. Dead heretics cannot be resurrected, and no heretic wins with the cult which has declared them heretical. (A heretic is only heretical to specific cults and can be resurrected by a cult they are not heretical to. However, once a heretic, always a heretic)
Believer: A member of your cult.
Martyr: Someone dead who cannot be resurrected but who wins with the cult, can be classified as a martyr by multiple cults.
Innocent: Anyone who is not a believer, martyr, or heretic. (For the cult which classifies them as innocent)
Any cultist who kills themselves to resurrect the old leader wins with that leader (Assuming the leader doesn't change alignments later).

Edit: Oh, and just to make things more confusing there are actual heretics and known heretics. Known heretics are anyone who joined a rival in the previous schism. Actual heretics are anyone who is a member of a cult one schism away from yours. (Anyone who joined a rival the schism before the schism before yours is forgiven) Known heretics are not always actual heretics, as if they have since switched alignments they will not be a heretic, and actual heretics who are not known can be targeted but the action will fail depending on what it was: Actual heretics targeted for conversion will be killed, actual heretics targeted as the sacrifice to ascend to leadership will result in the heretic dying and the killer reviving and joining the old leader.

Here's one for when Private Threads go live:

You are an
Untargetable Innocent Child Off In Your Own World


At the beginning of the game the mod will publicly declare you as town. You have a vote which counts towards the lynch, and you count for win conditions, but you cannot be targeted by any ability including the nightly kill. The scum win condition still applies to you, though; if they control half of the votes, they win.

HOWEVER.

The game you're in is playing in a Private Thread you don't have access to.
Here
is a public thread in which all mod posts (vote counts, flips, etc.) will appear. You may also post in that thread, including your votes, but no one else can.

You win with the town.

You are a
Hidden Landmine


At the beginning of each day the mod will assign you a random number between one and the number of votes needed to lynch. The first person whose vote on you matches that number will explode. You win with the town.

Your job is to get a majority vote on the mod.

You are the
Muter


You have the ability to mute a player for one round, if the player is to type on the thread he will be killed. However, there's a 10% chance to mute yourself. A muted player will be told he's muted by
*anonymous*
and he'll be told he's killed if he makes an attempt to talk.

You win when all the (Mafia/Townies) are eliminated

You are a ROLENAME.

You win, and everyone else loses, if you are alive on day 1. Unfortunately, the mafia know this and who you are. But hey, at least you have a neighbourhood with X, the town doctor.

Yeah, but then in order to have a chance to win, the mafia would have to out themselves to get this role lynched Day 1.
