Worst role ideas?

[saulres]

You are an

Insomniac

. You are wide awake at night but have no night actions. During the day you are sleeping and cannot post or vote. You win if no player requests a prod of you.

[saulres]

You are a

Knot-Lover

. You win when you get people in the game to discuss knots. This role can be of any alignment. "Knot" can be replaced with any noun or verb so as not to be blatantly obvious.

[saulres]

You are a

Mafia Corrupt Chicago Voter

.

You have no votes of your own and may not place one. However, you may PM the Mod once per day with up to one vote per dead player. The Mod will then post the votes as though they came from the dead players.

Any Cop investigation of you kills you instantly.

You win when the town is eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.

[saulres]

You are a

Vote Magnet

. Any vote cast by anyone is applied instead to you. You win if you're the last player left alive.

[saulres]

You are a

Townie -- no wait, a Mafioso -- no wait...

On odd days you are a Vanilla Townie. On even days you are a Mafia Goon who does not know who the other members of the mafia are. You have no night actions. You may vote each day for a lynch or for no lynch. You win if at the beginning of an odd day, all threats to the town have been eliminated, or at the end of an even day, the mafia outnumber the town or nothing can prevent the same.

This role may also have the days switched, i.e. VT on even days, Mafia Goon on odd days.

[saulres]

You are

Clueless

. You do not know how to use the Search function. You win when you learn how to do it.

[saulres]

You are

My Sunshine

. My only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray.

You win if the game never goes to night phase.

[saulres]

You are a

Compulsive Sycophant

.

Post Restriction: Every time you post you must agree with whatever the poster before you said, complimenting them throughout the post.
Post/Voting Restriction: Every time you post you must vote whatever the last vote was, unless the game is in twilight or your vote would not change. You have no other voting options.

You are aligned with town but you only win if you are alive at the end of the game.

[saulres]

You are a

Doomed Survivor

. You are aligned with town, and win when they do.

Your first post of the first day must be a quote of your role PM.

[saulres]

I was going with the fact that people who are modkilled are turned into Survivors. So this one would be "Doomed to be a Survivor". Maybe "Inevitable Survivor"?

[saulres]

You are a

Viking

. This role will not be revealed even upon death (you will show as "Vanilla Townie").

You win if you get everyone in the Dead Thread to pretend they're at a feast with Odin during every main game night phase. You lose if this does not happen, no matter what the results of the main game.

[saulres]

You are an

Incremental Poster

. (This role can be of any alignment.)

The second time you make a post, you must immediately make the same post again. The third time, you must make the post three times. And so on.

You win if no one ever posts within any of your sequences and your faction wins. You lose if anyone does post within any of your sequences, regardless of your faction's win/loss status.

__________________________________

(Is there a "Worst Post Restriction" thread?)

[saulres]

A few more pre-/ins are available for Worst Role Mafia, if anyone's interested...?

You know I can't play, but /in to a kibbitzing thread if I may...

[saulres]

You are

Easily swayed

.

Once you place your vote, if anyone with a custom title suggests, no matter how subtly, that you change your vote, you must do so. You may then not go back to your original vote until after at least three other players have posted.

[saulres]

You are a

Power Role

.

The mod will tell you which role you are.

During the game's confirmation phase, and then during each twilight, you may assign yourself to one player. That player gains your ability until you change your target. If the player dies, so do you. If your player was the lynch, you die then and cannot retarget during twilight.

You have no vote, and you may not post in the thread at all. Your presence will not be made known to other players at all.

You win with the town.

[saulres]

Wouldn't they always be between the mod and someone else?

Regardless, that's the kind of role I'd like to have

[saulres]

Can you use

[saulres]

two in'a row?

[saulres]

You are getting your games confused.

This would be so much fun to play.

Only scum would say that

Maybe you think so, but that's not the case this time. You clearly didn't read Tierce's arguments as town would, only as scum would. Or do you think she's 3rdParty?

Vote: Xalxe

[saulres]

You are

An Obsessive Prodder

At least once a real-life day, whenever anyone who's posted in the thread hasn't posted there in more time than the stated prod range -- including the dead players -- you must post requesting the mod to prod them.

You win if the other players never question your intelligence.

[saulres]

You have

Nominal aphasia

. Each time you want to reference someone in a post, even in quotes and votes, you have to use http://www.random.org/lists/ to determine which name to use instead of your desired one (use the first one it provides). The list of names you need to supply is here.

[saulres]

You are a

Sane Cop

. Blah blah blah...

Mod note: Each night, apologize for providing an incorrect role PM and tell the player that they're actually a different version of the cop -- insane, paranoid, etc. Give them a random result, it doesn't matter what, as in reality they're a doctor, protecting the person they investigate.

[saulres]

You are a

Part of the Whole

. If you are killed in this game, you will immediately be killed in any other game you're playing in.

[saulres]

We need to be practical?

pedit: That would be practical but easily avoidable by not playing in any other games. But you should probably also have it happen if you replace out of other games.

[saulres]

Best strategy would be for everyone to just No Lynch so they could all become it and win, though, wouldn't it?

[saulres]

What's the win condition on that one? It sounds like a role I'd love to play.

[saulres]

Run another Worst Roles Game. I won't sign up, and I'll be sure to implement it for you

[saulres]

Name a scenario in which a survivor's death would end the game.

MyLo?

[saulres]

surrender to the police.

That bit inspired me.

You are a

guilty murderer

. You begin the game as a Serial Killer. The first time you make a nightkill, you are filled with regret and swear off the killing. Each subsequent night you may investigate one player to determine if they are a cop. If they are, the

next

night you may turn yourself into them. You win if you do so. The rest of the game continues.

[saulres]

Inspired by Tasty Planet

You are

Grey Goo

. For you to win, all lynches must be in the order of the length of their user-names, starting with the shortest. This includes yourself. Each night, whether alive or dead, you may make one kill to help you towards you goal. You lose if anyone who's lynched is not in this order.

[saulres]

You are a

Santa Killer

. Each night you assign another player a compulsive kill. You may not assign the kill to the same player more than once until everyone still living has had a turn, at which point you may do another round. You win when the game is down to just you and one other player.

[saulres]

Modnote: What it actually does accurately do is allow you to calculate how many of the living players would investigate as guilty/not guilty.

Role exists. See Census.

You may take a census, thus discovering the number of [Pro-Town] players, [Anti-Town] players, and [Neutral] players that are alive at the end of the current night phase. You will receive a Private Message from the moderator containing the number of [Pro-Town], [Anti-Town], and [Neutral] that are alive.

[saulres]

You are a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

ftfy

[saulres]

Yeah, that one's too complicated for me to follow and comment legitimately on

Having said that...

---

modnote: For purposes of these roles, a player is considered to be sheeping another player if they 1) declare they're sheeping with their vote, or 2) join an existing wagon with no explanation of their vote (they are considered to be sheeping whoever last voted on that wagon).

You are a

Shepherd

. Every time another player sheeps someone, they become part of your flock, but are not made aware of this. Neither are you; the mod will neither confirm nor deny anyone in your flock. They maintain their current role. You win when the only other living players are in your flock. There is a wolf in the game. You may not claim your role or that there's a wolf in the game until the wolf is dead (because no one in town will believe you anyway so why bother?).

You are a

Wolf

. There is a Shepherd in the game. You can eat (kill) one player each night. If you try to eat someone not in the flock, the mod will reveal you to the town the next morning. You win and are removed from the game (which continues) if on any night when there are no sheep, you eat the Shepherd.

You are a

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

. Your scumpartners are xxxxxx. There is also a Shepherd in the game, played by xxxxxxx. Your first post must sheep another player's vote, causing you to join his flock. In addition to your factional kill, you may choose to eat (kill) one member of his flock each night. You lose and are removed from the game (which continues) if the Shepherd is killed. You win only if the scum win and both you and the Shepherd are still alive.

[saulres]

I shouldn't have laughed but I did

[saulres]

sexually charged

You are a

vibrator

. You--

NM I can't

make that work

figure out where to go with that

I give up.

[saulres]

Apologies for this one. Spoiled for imagery.

You are a

Buttplug

. Whenever a player calls another player an asshole, you gain the ability to block the second player from performing any actions the rest of that day and night. If you block the same player three days in a row they die.

[saulres]

Would love to see how this would play in a game x)

Mafia would just kill the loyal cop N1, I think.

[saulres]

You have

Been Made An Offer

by the mafia. You know who the mafia are because they came to you and said they would kill your family if you went against them. So now you have to try to help them win. You are not allowed to identify the mafia or vote for them, and must join on any non-mafia wagon they're on (you can choose if they're on more than one). If you can hammer a non-mafia you must. You win with the town.

[saulres]

I figured a townie whose role is specifically anti-town would be worse than a 3rd party's role which is anti-town.

[saulres]

It's not really anti-town if you can just claim in your first post and watch the other townies lynch the scum.

True, I didn't specify they can't claim. The idea, though, is that they can't give anyone any indication of who they truly are, for fear of the mob offing their family. So they'd have to claim VT (and flip as such too) and avoid any other method of communicating what they're not supposed to.

[saulres]

You have

nymphomania

. You must play in both Mental Illness Mafia and Sexual Roles Mafia.

[saulres]

You win with the town.

Your last post in the game must be "/in".

You may not respond to questions posed to you, but you may respond in anticipation of questions which might be asked of you in the future.

Your "first" post of each day must be a vote accompanied by the words "Hammertime baby!"

You live your life in small snippets, backwards.

You are

Leonard Shelby

.

[saulres]

You are a

necrophiliac

. Each night, you visit everyone who dies. You're worried that people will think poorly of you if they discover your secret, so you may not claim or even hint at this role. You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are

Michael Bloomberg

. You automatically block all Extra Larges.

[saulres]

You like to

mess with the VCs

. Whenever the mod, or anyone else, posts anything resembling a vote count, you have to move your vote.

[saulres]

You are a

Half-Voter

. Your votes count only as half a vote. So maybe if a No Lynch is decided by >50%, your vote might mean something. And try not to live until LyLo because you have no chance of lynching anyone except you. Good luck.

[saulres]

You are a

Serial Drafter

. Whenever you want to make a post to the thread, instead of posting it you must save it as a draft. The next time you want to post, you must post your saved draft instead, and save your new post as a draft. You may not post unless there are at least as many posts since your last one as living players in the game (not including vote counts).

[saulres]

(This goes back a dozen years)

You are a

Florida voter

. If a lynch is reached with you on the wagon, your votes may or may not count.

First, the mod will post that your vote doesn't count, and ask you to revote.

Once you have done so, if there is still a lynch, all votes will be locked. Your revote will be analyzed by a bipartisan commission consisting of one townie and one scum, picked by the mod before the game started (and again reselected if they died for any reason). They will independently send their opinion on if the vote should count or not to the mod. If there is a clear result, that result will stand and your vote will either count or not count for the remainder of the day.

If there is no clear result, the vote will be put up to discussion by seven people not in any way affiliated with the game. They will post their opinions as to the legitimacy of your vote in the thread, starting with the person newest to the site and continuing in reverse chronological order. Their decision will be final, and your vote will either count or not count for the remainder of the day.

[saulres]

- A read that simultaneously classifies a player as town, scum and neutral.

That's a suggestion only an incompetent townie would make. Iceguy's town.

- A sentence that is (mostly) made of actual English words, but is totally incomprehensible.

Intentionally being confusing is a scum tactic.

FoS: Iceguy

- ALL CAPS RAGE.

I've seen that from both town and scum. Put IceGuy in the neutral pile for that.

I have proof of that alignment, BTW. I'm a Day Cop.

[saulres]

You are a

Monday Morning Quarterback

. The only votes you may place are on players who are already dead. If you vote for someone who's not scum, you will be modkilled.

[saulres]

You are a

Detective

. The night after a Weak player dies, you can investigate them and learn who they visited.

[saulres]

You are a

Compulsive Bandwagoner

. In every post you make, you must vote for the last person anyone voted for. If you require a prod you will be modkilled instead.

[saulres]

You are

Blind to the Truth

. If you were on the lynch wagon of someone who flipped town, you must continue acting as though that person was scum.

For example, if you lynched

John

, every time you refer to someone as probable scum you must refer to them as "John's scumbuddy." If John was a neighbor you must act like his neighbor partners are likely town because he flipped scum, so you won't vote for them. If he flipped mason and someone else claimed masonpartner, you must vote for that person because he is clearly lying. Etc.

[saulres]

You are

Really Not a Team Player

You may not join a wagon, only start them (like a Hipster). In addition, if anyone joins a wagon you're on, you must leave it.

[saulres]

You are an

OMGIS voter

. You may only vote for yourself.

[saulres]

You are a

Jester Miller

. You have no alignment at the beginning of the game. If you're investigated by a cop, you return "No Result". If you're lynched, you flip as a Jester and the mod announces you won and have left the game. You win with whatever faction is lynched next. If there are no further lynches, you lose.

[saulres]

*nods*

[saulres]

Um Hoopla. Isn't true love an 8p game or is there a lonely VT in there

You are a

Spinster

. In a game full of lovers, you are all alone. In every post you must bemoan not having any lovers. Each night you may search a lover to see if they have a cat. You win if you find it.

You are a

Cat

. You're proud and independent. As such you have no voice or vote in the game. You have a nice life living with <lover1> and <lover2> and each night you switch between their houses. You have a private QT with each of them where you can discuss the game with whoever you're with that night. But if the one you're with that night is killed, you are too. You win if you survive to the end of the game and avoid being grabbed by the spinster.

[saulres]

Can i be a lover with my own hand?
We're intimate.

You are a

Self-Lover

. You have a private QT

here

in which you may talk to yourself. If you die, you also die.

[saulres]

I've seen a stump rot and beget fungi. So that's something.

[saulres]

You are a

Reflexive Lightning Rod

.

[saulres]

Nope, I think you're missing it.

Basically, your presence in the game ensures that whatever anyone does, they do to themselves. So a mafia or SK kill would kill whoever submitted it, a town cop would discover that they are innocent, etc.

[saulres]

Oh, I thought 3431 and 3432 meant that reflexive meant it turned back on the person using the ability. I couldn't find it on the wiki.

[saulres]

You'd have to have a

really

honest player for this one.

You are a

Spirit Guide

. You escort the dead to their final resting places.

You may not look at the game thread at all. Don't search on all of a player's posts, etc.

When someone dies in this game, you will get a 24-hour QT with them. In it, they can tell you whatever they want, but they may not quote from the thread at all, except for the final (lynch) vote count. At the end of the 24 hours, you give them the link to the dead QT and your QT is closed. (If the player flaked, the mod will provide you with the final vote count.)

You then have 24 hours to place one vote. This is compulsory, and you cannot vote "No Lynch".

You win with the town.

[saulres]

Not unless someone tells him.

And then he gets it confirmed enough.

[saulres]

Yeah, that would accomplish what I'm trying to get: someone who has an influence on the game and is trying to win it for the town, but all he knows about the game is what the recently dead told him. izak's modification doesn't accomplish that.

[saulres]

You are the Compulsive Reverse Miller Cop . Every night you must target a player. That player will be informed that you are guilty. You win with town.

You are a

Masturbatory Cop

. Each night you may investigate yourself. The mod will tell you what alignment you are.

[saulres]

You are

Self-conscious and Shy

. You're so insecure about yourself and your role that you may not claim your role, lest someone make fun of it and you. Lying about what role you have would be like admitting your role really

does

suck, and that would be too hard to face. So just don't claim anything. Ever.

You win with the town.

[saulres]

DeLorean Driver: Each night, you may switch the targets of the actions of two players at different points in time. Aligned with town.
It COULD be awesome, IF you could figure out the complex time shenanigans. But then there's driving into the future, the mod needs to use knowledge that doesn't exist yet.

Sounds awesome. You could redirect the action of confirmed scum from a dead townie to a scumread, lurker, or VI, bringing the dead townie back into the game in place of the one you don't want. Could guarantee a win in 3-person LyLo.

[saulres]

You are

Muhammad

. You win if you go to the mountain.

[saulres]

If that happened, he wouldn't be Muhammad.

He'd be Chuck Norris.

[saulres]

Nope. You have it backwards.

[saulres]

Looking it up, I find my version can be traced to Francis Bacon, and the reverse (obverse?) doesn't seem to have a source.

Maybe it's a regional thing. Fascinating stuff, linguistics. (Which this is kind of related to. But I'm going to stop now.)

[saulres]

By your logic they die, which means they don't shoot, which means they don't die, which means they DO shoot, which means they don't shoot, etc.

You are a

Time Paradox JOAT

. You may take any action you wish at night. If you do, the universe explodes.

You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are a

NegativeVoter

. You have no abilities except your voice and your vote. Your vote, though, is worth -1 instead of 1. You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are an

Delayed Cop

. Each night you may PM the mod with a player you wish to investigate. You will be told if the player's slot is

Innocent

or

Guilty

, after the player's slot is dead.

[saulres]

Useful in a no-reveal or

bastard

game

izakthegoomba was lynched. He was a

VT

.

Your investigation of izakthegoomba reveals that he was a

Mafia Goon

.

[saulres]

You are a

Hydra

. You are composed of XXX and YYY. If you are killed, then you won't die. However, XXX will no longer be allowed to use your account. Instead, AAA and BBB will join the Hydra. If you are killed again, YYY will no longer be allowed to use your account, but CCC and DDD will join the hydra. Repeat ad nauseum.

You win if no one calls for your removal from the game, and no one bitches about hydras. In any thread, anywhere on the forum.

[saulres]

You are a

LyLo Jester

. You win if the game gets to LyLo with you still alive, and you are lynched then. If a game has multiple LyLos, you can be lynched during any of them to win, but not in any intervening state.

[saulres]

Get to Lylo

That's the hard part. You have to make sure the game gets to LyLo.

[saulres]

And besides, if you vote for yourself, you're telling the townie and the scum what role you have. They then both become kingmakers.

Better to just not allow self-voting for the role. That would do it.

[saulres]

If we did I don't remember it.

But my memory's not always so good

[saulres]

You are the

Lead Sheep

. When you place a vote, all other players automatically vote for the same person/thing you did.

You win with the town.

[saulres]

Well that's why it's a Worst role

[saulres]

Nah. It just takes someone who RVSes before reading their role PM...

[saulres]

Sunsinker

You are

Joshua

. As long as you are alive, the day never ends.

[saulres]

Double-Loved Jester?

[saulres]

Not easy to enforce though.

How about

Recovering Alcholoic

: You are town-aligned. You start the game with 3 6-packs of beer. During any game phase (including pre-game), you may give any other player one 6-pack. You may give multiple packs during the same phase, but not to the same person within any phase.

There is an Innocent Child in the game. If you give a 6-pack to the Innocent Child during pre-game, he's not so innocent any more, and the mod will not announce his innocence.

If at any time you give the beer to the Innocent Child, all cop investigations of you, starting in the phase you gave it, will come back Guilty.

If you give it to anyone else, they drink it, and any action(s) they perform that night will target someone random (including possibly you or them).

Starting with the first day phase, at the end of each game phase you will accumulate one Relapse point for each case you still have. If you ever get to six Relapse points, you drink the beer and will be removed from the game, losing.

[saulres]

You are a

Fairy Godfather

. You are mafia-aligned, but any alignment investigations of you show you as town. Any investigation of your sexual orientation returns homosexual.

You may also grant someone one wish. The wish can be for any one-shot power role. In order to make a wish, a player must post in thread something to the effect of "Man, I wish we had a cop who could sort this out." If they don't use this power by halfway through the next night phase, they lose it. Regardless of when/if they use the ability, halfway through the next night phase they revert to a vanilla townie -- even if they started out as a power role.

[saulres]

This includes (but is not limited to):

FTFY

[saulres]

^Like a Miller, I think you'd claim that right away. Would play similarly, I imagine.

[saulres]

That role isn't compulsive

Umm... Yes it is.

Every night you MUST target a player.

[saulres]

And he's planning a sequel for after enough usable new stuff comes in (plus some other RL stuff).

[saulres]

Not a worst role. I do them all the time anyway, even for games I'm watching, to keep track (and help my pathetic memory). CFJ's script makes it easy.

[saulres]

Second one is kinda like a spectator hoping that the town wins

Sounds like me

[saulres]

You are a

Counter-claimer

. Whenever anyone claims a role and/or name, you must counter-claim them with the same role and/or name. If asked to provide your actions during various phases, if they already claimed actions you must claim the same actions (unless you were somehow in their actions). If they haven't, you must make something up. You cannot unclaim the role until someone else makes a claim, in which case you must then counter-claim them. You win with the town.

[saulres]

Damn, are we out of the "soul/sole" phase already and I missed the whole thing?

First thing came to my mind after the first variant:

You are the

Saul voter

.

You can only vote for saulres.

Modnote: saulres is a jester.

[saulres]

If you get targeted, and don't die, you know the identity of the Doctor.

The role as written doesn't specify you get to see who did the visiting, just who was visited. As long as "who was visited" was you

[saulres]

You are a

play-by-play announcer

. You have the ability to edit all posts in game but no knowledge of the setup. Anytime someone posts, you must replace the content of their post with a one-line summary of what their content was.

You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are a

Compulsive Weak Strongman Vig

You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are a

Ghost Troll

While you are alive, all you can post are votes and unvotes.
Once you're dead, you can talk freely about anything other than the game.

While you're alive, you win with the town.
While you're dead, you win if every other player asks for replacement.

[saulres]

You are a

Hydra

. You are composed of XXX and YYY. If you are killed, then you won't die. However, XXX will no longer be allowed to use your account. Instead, AAA and BBB will join the Hydra. If you are killed again, YYY will no longer be allowed to use your account, but CCC and DDD will join the hydra. Repeat ad nauseum.

You win if no one calls for your removal from the game, and no one bitches about hydras. In any thread, anywhere on the forum.

[saulres]

Do something lame and get yourself run up to L-1, then self-hammer while posting all the scum ftw.

[saulres]

Except once you're lynched, you're dead, so the scum can no longer kill you.

At least according to standard rules, no?

[saulres]

You are an

Anxious Self-Obituary Writer

.

If you die at LyLo or MyLo, or are endgamed, you lose.

When you die, you tell the mod which alignment you want to flip as. You win with that alignment.

[saulres]

You choose scum for auto-win? Yeah, that won't work. I'll edit it in.

[saulres]

vot3: saulr3s

L33t sp3ak g3ts you past that with 3as3. Just typ3 your t3xt into Not3pad or som3such and globally r3plac3.

[saulres]

U GAEV HIM ANOYNG 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL1!1! LOL U DONT REMEMBR??!!!?? OMG IT WAS LOL ANOYNG1!11 OMG WTF

[saulres]

You're an

NS

You have no special abilities, but you win with whatever faction Nobody Special's a part of. If he's not in the game you've got a real problem unless you can get him to replace in. If he replaces out you retain his factional win condition.

[saulres]

you've got a real problem

[saulres]

BRUTAL

What does that mean?

[saulres]

Greatest book even.

The Great Gadsby.

[saulres]

Oh hell I would love that role!

Or make a setup where everyone has that role

[saulres]

You

can't count

.

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.

[saulres]

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.

[saulres]

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.

[saulres]

You are

Unvote

Whenever someone unvotes (including moving their vote to someone else), a vote is placed for you.

[saulres]

You are a

kibbitzer

.

You don't actually have role in this game. You can't be lynched, killed, investigated, etc., and any votes you try to cast won't count. But you may talk in thread during the day.

You win with <town or scum at mod's discretion>.

[saulres]

Oh

I only thought of it when I stopped myself from posting something in a game I'm not playing

[saulres]

You are a

realistic doctor

. You don't make house calls, when someone has a problem they come to you during normal business hours. If someone dies, well, they couldn't pay your prices anyway so oh well.

[saulres]

You are a

Reflexive Cult Recruiter

. If someone targets you with any ability, that ability does not happen, but they are instead recruited into your cult.

You win when your cult controls 50% of the vote.

[saulres]

I've played in two of them. They were a blast, and also very funny.

[saulres]

Which is the one you played in, and which was the one you ran?

[saulres]

For that to work you'd need to know who's visiting them. Seems like an awesome role, part Watcher and part Roleblocker.

[saulres]

You are a Partner Cop.

Every night, you can investigate someone. If they have a private QT with anyone, you will know one of the other people with access to it.

You win with the town.

Mod note: Always returns "The Mod".

[saulres]

You are a

Phone Poster

Every post you make must be made twice. You must also make a spelling mistake that is uncollected in a nonsensical way.

Memes Mafia?

9-player, Smalltown... Rick Roll, All Your Base Are Belong To Us, LOLCat, Over 9000...

I think I could make that work as a Micro...

[saulres]

I'm running one game now and my upcoming theme game takes priority. I'll /in to mod Meme Mafia (either upick or smalltown, not sure yet -- maybe leave it up to the players?) when I can be sure that I won't accidentally wind up running three at a time (which isn't permitted). Unless someone else beats me to it.

[saulres]

I've seen scum-aligned Trolls, but never that. I'd enjoy playing it too

You are

1/2 of a Vig

.
Your other half, another "1/2 of a Vig", is also in this game. However, you don't know who it is. Each night, you may choose a player to attempt to target for the kill. If you and your other half agree, then you successfully cooperate and kill them.

If your other half dies, you become a 1-Shot Vig. You win with the town.

I wonder how many kills this role would actually get.

I had a similar role, with Junpei I believe, in Magician Mafia.

I was town and he was scum though. And we didn't know about each other.

[saulres]

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

Would be great in a bastard game.

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.

They should use the townies' names.

[saulres]

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

Fixed.

[saulres]

[saulres]

You are <whatever role the mod gave you.>

Modnote: At some point in the game, when it's unneeded, search for a replacement for this slot. When someone volunteers, send them the same role PM as this slot's, and announce in-thread the two players as holding the same slot. They may not communicate outside the game thread.

[saulres]

Yeah, basically. Although neither of the players is aware of that, at least at the beginning.

[saulres]

You are a town-aligned

compulsive hydra-splitter

Each night, if there are one or more hydras in the game, you must pick one to target. If certain conditions are true, you will split it into its component players. The hydra account ill no longer be allowed to post. Each individual player from the hydra will receive a new Role PM identical to the one the hydra started with.


MODNOTE: The "certain conditions" which must be true are that the target hydra must be non-town.

[saulres]

But that logic leads to:

You are a

Voter

on XXX.
You win when XXX gets voted.

And that's just silly

[saulres]

You have a Post Restriction:

Palindromes

You may only speak in palindromes.

Good luck saying anything useful.

"now wot ma i sey? yes i am towwon"

[saulres]

Because those aren't words?

[saulres]

*makes mental note to include "don't rules-lawyer me" in my next ruleset*

[saulres]

CFJ, I'm going to steal that (modified slightly) for Meme Mafia II

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).

[saulres]

You are a

Paranoid Alarmist Red Button Carrier

When you get voted for the first time, you press the red button and every player is instantly killed. Game ends in a draw.

I had a big red butt in a Worst Roles Game.

[saulres]

EBWOP: buttON. Big red BUTTON.

Dammit, did it again.

[saulres]

I wasn't told what it did. Turns out if I pushed it, it would have globally roleblocked everyone that night. And I might have won instead of lost.

Ah well.

[saulres]

Best strategy for that, if you can pull it off, is make it to 3-person LyLo, get lynched, and encourage the other two players to reveal which one's scum before the mod locks the thread.

[saulres]

You are OCD Lyncher.
Everyone on the playerlist must be lynched in alphabetic order.

Somewhat similar to this one. A whole game full of these types of roles would result in only one winner at best

[saulres]

With the amount of lurking that site meta seems to endorse, getting to 1000 posts for someone who can be online a lot, without getting complaints, should be no problem at all.

[saulres]

You are a

Marketing Ploy

All your posts must be QR Codes linking to somewhere where you've indicated what you're trying to say.

You win if your codes are scanned 100 times.

[saulres]

How is that different from the existing cult role, first variation?

[saulres]

You are a

Fake Innocent Child

.

At the start of the game, the mod will confirm you as town. This is actually nothing to do with your role, though, as you aren't actually an Innocent Child, and as such the mod statement about your alignment cannot be trusted.

You win with the town.

How does that differ in play from an actual Innocent Child?

[saulres]

How about this variant instead?

You are a

Weak Innocent Child

. At any point you may PM the mod to announce you as town-aligned. When the mod does so, you die. You win with the town.

[saulres]

You are a

Paranoid Lightning Rod

.

[saulres]

Not if you very strictly enforce that players must play to their win condition at all times.

That's what breaks it. Every time scum votes for him, he knows who the scum is, so as soon as a townie votes for him he announces all the scum he knows.

[saulres]

If your target gets a kill they night they convert, target someone N1 so there are multiple deaths right off the bat, and that opens the possibilities for multiple fakeclaims.

If they don't, I'd still consider targeting someone the first night and not submitting a Mafia kill, depending on the size of the game. to create more confusion.

[saulres]

Welcome to Top Secret Mafia! You are a [REDACTED]. You win when [REDACTED]. PM me your role name to confirm.

Couldn't respond to this while the game was going, but Putin on a Cracker essentially had this role in Picky Bastards.

Deathproof Enabled Day 3 Mod Confirmed Guilty Child.
(mod note - the deathproof enabler is a town aligned player)

[saulres]

Let the player pick who they love and that's an awesome role.

[saulres]

Shittiest role ever.

Spoiler: His Role

Welcome, TierShift.

Game thread is here



Congratulations! You have won the game! Your win will be announced when D1 starts. For sure, this is the easiest victory you've had in any game onsite.

Now, I know despite the fact that you just won the game, there's a small chance you're disappointed that you can't participate in the game. So I'll give you a chance.

If at any point during the game I need a replacement, you get first dibs on taking that spot. If you do, you will no longer be a winner, unless you satisfy that slot's win conditions.

I'm so generous.

Now go enjoy your victory. I have other role PMs to get out.

[saulres]

You are an

Eclipse

, aligned with the Town.

Each time you post, for the next 7 minutes all factions/players with a night action can perform them.

[saulres]

Insouciant Child

At the beginning of the game the mod announces you as not caring about the game. You cannot be prodded or replaced no matter how infrequently you post.

You win with -- oh, who cares. Just let the game be over already.

[saulres]

You are a

Weak Hammerer

Whenever someone gets to L-1, if you are not on their wagon, your vote will be automatically moved to them and you will hammer. If they are anti-town, you will die as well.

This role can be of any alignment.

[saulres]

You

win

.

You win.

Relevant

[saulres]

Jeanne, your suggestions aren't roles that could actually be used even in a "Worst Roles" game. They're just named townies.

[saulres]

You are

Cursed Sword Townie

You have a cursed sword you can try to kill someone with. If you hit scum then they will die and you can hit someone else with it. If you hit town then you and your target will die and the sword will be passed to a random townie who will lose his current role and become a cursed sword townie. If you don't use your sword you will die by the night (and you cant be protected from it).

Any roles that remove poison or curses will remove the sword.

You win with the town

Really if it's a cursed sword, then anyone who has killed or been killed by the sword should be required to PM the current holder nonstop, whispering to him "Kill them all! Kill them all!"

[saulres]

You are a

mafia miller

Your scumbuddies are XXX and YYY, you may talk to them at night here: (URL)
You share a factional kill.

In addition, you are a miller. Your suspicious nature causes you to be investigated as scum by cops.

You win when all those who will not submit to the mafia are dead.

How is that any different friom a named

townie

scum?

[saulres]

The big problem with "You may not claim either of your abilities in the thread" is making sure the player can't get around that by hinting, implying, etc. I was working on a setup at one point which required a player to not reveal something but realized it was impractical to assure that wouldn't happen and blow the game open.

[saulres]

Been there, kinda done that (see Amrun's role)

[saulres]

And Jake from State Farm already did that "impossible" thing, and won for it!
