As for the Modfather idea...
Even if you haven't meant it so, this post's been very funny! Those players who were in Mini #1644 knows, why. ^_^

You are a
vigilante
.

When you heard some evil scum had invaded our town, you grabbed your gun and stood ready at your door. Your objective is to shoot all the scum.

But what if you shoot town? Won't you be sad? You couldn't take that risk. So you can only shoot someone who you KNOW, 100%, is scum.

But what if they have a family? A wife, small children? Just because they are a bad person doesn't mean they (and their family) deserve to have him dead.

Your contemplation makes you realize that this endeavour is futile. No matter who you choose to kill, you will have a negative impact on society. Except! You realize, there is one person you can shoot whom is garenteed to not carry negative consequences onto you. You won't feel any regret afterwards, gaurenteed.

Each night, you may choose to shoot yourself.

You win with the town.

You are a
Crazy Loner Inventor PGO


You may give a player an invention every night. But you are so afraid of the outside, you may only target yourself.

You are so paranoid about the creepy bugs that lurk outside your window that you carry your gun with you at all times and shoot anyone who votes or targets you. Yes, that includes yourself.

You win when everyone else is dead

You are a
schoolbus driver
.

You may bus drive 2 players each night, swapping all targets against them. The swap fails if your targets did not list "student" as their occupation in their user profile.




You are a
school gang recruiter


You are a cult leader, but you do not recruit in the normal way. Anyone who changes their user profile occupation to "student" is automatically recruited.

Hello, [player]!

You have no allies.
You lose if you are ever lynched or killed.
You win when any other faction achieves their win condition.

The more I think about it, the capacity for that role to aid either faction and end up in a situation where his own role enables a kill on him is extra hilarious.

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.

Yeah, you'd have to be very strident about the restriction. No hints, implications, skirting around the claim, etc.

But that's an insta-win. Claim that you are a mafia-aligned dayvig so they won't shoot you. Then take a dayvig to end the day. Whenever a day starts, take a dayvig and end the day. All townies dead = you and the mafia win.

Oh, I wrote that up with the idea that you couldn't use any of those powers for yourself.

You're
Man in Black #1
. You're mason with
Man in Black #2
. Each time someone tries to lynch your mason partner, you will appear and stop him from getting lynched at the cost of dying yourself. Your win condition is to find and eliminate Shinichi. However, since he is a tricky fellow, this won't be possible, unless you find his girlfriend and hold her hostage, since you know he cares about her quite a bit.

You're
Man in Black #2
. You're mason with
Man in Black #1
. He is very protective of you, so any time someone tries to lynch you, he'll try his best to stop that from happening. Your win condition is the same as your brother's, except that you must kidnap Ran and hold her hostage in an undisclosed location. You will be modkilled if you fail to do this. You may communicate with your brother via PM in order to fulfill this win condition.

You're
Shinichi
. All you know is that you're being targeted. You're a Cop. Unfortunately, you're stuck in kid's body due to that darned mason pair. You're adorable. So adorable that your old crush is careful not to let you involved in any dangerous/embarrassing situations. You're not allowed to share what you found unless speaking in child-speak. Failure to uphold this post restriction will result in a modkill. Your win condition is finding out where masons keep Ran and get her out of there.

(Yeah, I have been watching 'that' anime)

Follow-up to my latest post

You're
Akagi
. You're a doctor. You may target one player every night and protect them. However, there's a downside to this. If the player you protected is mason, you die on the spot. You win if you protect a player who is Shinichi. You must invent one gadget every day and give it to a random player. If that player is Shinichi, you gain nightkill immunity. Otherwise, you die on the spot.

You're
Ran
. At the start of the game you are given Shinichi's true identity. However, you are kidnapped, so you cannot reveal this information in public. Instead, you may PM clues towards Shinichi's identity to Akagi. However, if you do this, the mason pair immediately learns of Shinichi's identity and can kill him during the night. When this happens, you lose. You win if you, Akagi and Shinichi survive till the endgame and the mason pair is lynched.

You are a
Call Center Employee


Once per turn, you can either:

a) Fix a problem - Change one players vote to the vote of your choice.

b) Take a payment - Use someone else's power for one day/night cycle.

c) Low call volume - Post nothing but youtube videos for that day.

d) Get fired - You are no longer part of the game, but may post as normal(Tree Stump).

You can use these powers in any order you wish, but must use all four in the first four nights. You can not use the same power more than once, unless you are successfully part of a scum lynch, in which case you may the same power twice, or you hammer scum, in which case you may use an additional same power twice or use the a power you have twice a third time.

You win with the town.

"i have the sickest grossest feeling that even if it's my lynch today, my townflip still won't lead to a tso lynch, and then he'll find some bullshit way to reason either shooting or lynching gm tomorrow because if there's anyone who can strongarm a mislynch despite his reads or cases being proved wrong time and again it's tso"
