If a lyncher wins when their target gets lynched, then the following names should work.
You are a
Modkiller
on XXX.
You win when XXX gets modkilled.

You are a
Banner
on XXX.
You win when XXX gets banned for any reason.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?

But that logic leads to:

You are a
Voter
on XXX.
You win when XXX gets voted.

And that's just silly :P

That could work, you would just need to make XXX a mod-confirmed innocent child really really hated (Takes 1 vote to lynch) supersaint innocent child and have the voter be voteless.

You have a Post Restriction:
Palindromes


You may only speak in palindromes.

Good luck saying anything useful.

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)

It's a palindrome and a math joke. It's a mathindrome.

More ways of getting around it:
Make each post contain a very short word which is also a word when backwards, make one (Well, two, but the second doesn't have any impact on the post's meaning) word per post, and spam.

You have a post restriction, Palindromes


In addition to your other win-conditions, your entire iso must come out as a palindrome when you die, or you lose.

That just leads to reverse quoting your entire post history for that game, and you exponentially clogging up the entire thread.

You don't have to know when you'll die if you make every post a palindrome by itself, and then add every post you made at the end, going backwards. That insures you'll always be safe, whenever you die. So in effect it's only a minor inconvenience that leads to massive quote trees. Annoying, yes, but it's not particularly bad.

Each post has to be at least twice the length of the last one in order to do that, though:

Post 1: abba
Post 2: cddcabba
Post 3: effeabbacddcabba
Post 4: ghhgabbacddcabbaeffeabbaccabba

and so on. You'll hit post length limits pretty quickly.

Assuming no dayvigs/quickhammers you know you won't die in the middle of the day, so just post the other half of each palindrome before the end of each day.

Better idea:
a a aa aaaa a a a aaaa a aaaa aaa aaaa aa aa aaaa aa aa aa aaaa a aa a aaaa a a a aaaa a aaaa aaa aaaa aa a aa a aaaa aa aa aa aaaa aa a a aaaa a aaaa aaa aaaa a aa a a aaaa a a aaaa aa a aa aaaa a aaaa aaa aaaa aa aaaa a a a a aaaa a a aaaa a a a aaaa a aa a aa a aa aaaa aaa aaaa a a aaaa aa aaaa aaa aaaa a aa aa aaaa a a aaaa a aa a a aaaa a aa a a aaaa aaa aaaa a aa aaaa a aa a a aaaa a aa aa aaaa a aa aaaa aa a aa aa aaaa a a a aaaa aaa aaaa aa a a a aaaa a aaaa aaa aaaa a aa aaaa aaa aaaa a aa aa a aaaa a aa aaaa a aa a a aaaa a a aaaa aa a aaaa aa a a aaaa a aa a aaaa aa aa aa aaaa aa aa aaaa a

Morse code where dots, dashes, slashes, and spaces are all just the same letter repeated a different number of times will always be a palindrome.

You are
One-shot Day-Mod


Once per game, you can become the mod for the entire day phase. You must search out a temporary replacement for your slot and forward your role-PM to that replacement. You will NOT be given the setup or each player's roles. For the rest of the day phase, you must follow general rules for modding. After the day phase ends, you will replace back into the slot.

You are a
Mod Restrictor
.

Each night, you may submit a post restriction to the mod. The mod must obey that post restriction through the following day.


(I wasn't thinking about Varsoon's role in the previous post when I posted that, but in retrospect, they go quite well together.)

CFJ, I'm going to steal that (modified slightly) for Meme Mafia II :D
If you are lynched, you get to PM me a post restriction. I will have to use that post restriction in every post I make the next day. Keep in mind that it's a bastard game, so if I get a post restriction like "You have to list the scumteam" I get to lie. To that end, you cannot give me a post restriction that says I can't lie (or otherwise compromise the game).
