Worst role ideas?

[quadz08]

It's just a D1 Jester, then. Compulsive is still unnecessary.

[Mute]

Role: Monster
Alignment: 3rd party
Powers: at night, you scream and scare a player while bursting through their closet door.
Wincon: scare all players

[callforjudgement]

I still stick by my definition (for the purposes of this thread, at least) of "compulsive" as "dies if they don't use a night action", partly because it makes Compulsive VT such a nicely awful role.

[Who]

I thought "compulsive" meant "must use night action or will have target randomly selected by mod", because it makes Hidden Compulsive SK such a nicely awful role.

[quadz08]

Hidden Compulsive is super-messed up. This is definitely the right thread for that. >_>

Also "dies if does not use night action" is not what I'd call compulsive. "Aggressively OCD" or "Suicidally Compulsive" or something similar would be the term I would choose.

Compulsive Desperado

Has to day vig each day or he dies
if the target hit with a day vig is scum he survives to the next day
if the target hit with a day vig is town he dies and target survives

[Klazam]

That'd be a pretty fun role.

schizophrenic:

Is informed by the mod that he is a mason with 2-3 other players that he is only allowed contact via quicktopic page..
however the 2-3 other players are infact not masons and he is the only one
the mod either pretends to be the 2-3 others or has friends to do it.
hilarity follows

[Who]

Town-aligned Jester:
Wins with the town provided they have been lynched before the end of the game. Loses in all other situations.
Even more fun when given to every townie in the game.

Sheep

(in wolf's clothing)
You are neighbours with XXX, YYY and ZZZ. They may or may not be of your faction.

Mod note: The Neighbourhood QT, which isn't actually called such, but is instead called something innocuous like "Pizza Club" is actually the Mafia QT

Wolf

[normal mafia info here] Also you have a town-aligned role with access and posting rights to your QT. They may or may not know your alignments.

[kuribo]

You are

a Mafia Inviter

Each night, you must PM me the name of one town player. That player will be given a link to the scum QT.

[Faraday]

Guess you need to just target the guy you're killing and hope nothing blocks it.

[gorckat]

You are

a Mafia Inviter

Each night, you must PM me the name of one town player. That player will be given a link to the scum QT.

Could be fun if the scum didn't use their MS names for QT and threw in references to killing themselves / running uyp mislynches on themselves.

Would be great in a bastard game.

They should use the townies' names.

[gorckat]

Oh, wow, that is like reverse bastard.

[kuribo]

Even better:

You are a Mason Vig with X and Y. You must invite one player to the Mason QT each night. Each night, the original members of your masonry may select a player to kill. You win with town.

Mod note: the mason QT is simply named "Mafia QT" since it is the QT for a game of mafia

[Guyett]

@saulres thanks
i really want to use it in a game. Only open the quick topic at night so they get really confused why they're being ignored during the day haha

[kuribo]

That would be great. At mass claim, no one would know what the hell he was talking about


"Come on man, we talked about this last night"
"I've never talked to you in a QT"
(Ed nortons face at the reveal in fight club)

[Guyett]

all the while the mod sits at his computer pissing himself laughing

[Axxle]

I played against this role offsite and thought it was hilarious:

Role Name: Disguised Neighborizer

Alignment: Mafia. You win when your faction controls half of the Town’s population.

Each night, you may target 1 player. They will be invited to your QT found here: X. The Qt’s title is blank because I need you to tell me a pseudonym for yourself to use. When you confirm this PM, tell me the name of a player in the game other than yourself. I’ll change the QT’s title to that name, and you’ll converse with others under that name.
All players in this QT will be able to converse with each other at night, but not when they are dead or during the day.

Additionally, you may complete the factional kill.
Your Mafia QT is here: X. You can talk to each other as much as you want during the night.

[Who]

Lightning rod nexus

Until they are lynched, every night action has a random target.

Also:

You are a questionably sane vigilante:
The law has failed at catching the mafia, so you've decided to take matters into your own hands. Every night, you pick up a gun and hunt down evildoers, at least, you think they're evildoers. You're not always right. If the police caught you, you'd be declared a criminal and executed for murder. Every time you kill someone, you question your motives. You know that you can kill people, but you're not sure if you're doing it for the good of the town, or because it feels good.

Modnote: Is either an SK or a vigi. Doesn't actually start with an alignment. Gains an alignment whenever the mod decides to give them one, though some scenarios (e.g. All other scum dead, many townies left) may force an alignment decision. Randomness is not required when deciding, the mod can decide based in whim, play style of player, or whatever else they want to use to decide.

That's actually been used, I believe. Might have triggered on whether they got any scum in the first X kills? If so, Vig. If not, SK.

[Who]

Interesting. Instead of pretending to be a vig they would actually be a vig.

Also:
You are a mod-confirmed jester who ends the game when you win. Jester is generally the easiest role, but nobody will vote for you.

You are a mod-confirmed jester who is implied to end the game when you win. To help you on your quest to be lynched, you can inflict post restrictions on people. An unlimited number of times each day or night, PM the mod with the post restriction you want to give someone.

[kuribo]

@Mod: I wish to inflict on every player the post restriction that every post must contain a vote for me
