That's the point. Come up with whatever roles would make someone lose, or make them angry.

You're
Awry the Troll
. You are disliked by me, a game mod, so much that I will modkill you as soon as you make a mistake. It's up to you to figure out if you made a mistake. Whenever you post, you could ask other players in the game if you made a mistake or not. Because they don't know what a mistake is, they cannot really answer you, so they will give you answers they think are right, which may or may not be accurate. Have fun!

modnote: Making a mistake consists of following: voting another user without a definite proof, being inactive, insulting another user, mislynching, posting trollish posts in general, feeding the staff with lies, not proofreading your posts.

That's actually really rather good.

It's weak cop who informs their targets. Pretend to be a compulsive fruit vendor, then when you die everyone you targeted is conftownie and the last person you targeted is probscum. Or, when you have enough conftownies just cash in and reveal that you're actually weak and thus everyone you've targeted is conftownie, just like a normal weak cop. One problem with weak cop is that the mafia can just kill you if you claim/breadcrumb too hard. This completely solves that.

Now a weak compulsive weak mass-fruit vendor on the other hand, is actually shit.
A mass-(compulsive mass-weak fruit vendor)izer on the other hand, is basically god.
A compulsive weak mass-(compulsive mass-weak fruit vendor)izer on the other hand, means that you should go fuck yourself for including it.

How so? You essentially control the mafia's NKs and/or stop them (If doctor exists) until you die. Redirect them towards the weaker players and/or the players most likely to be lynched/scum. If you hit scum, you both die, this is good. (Unless doctor exists in which case not sure would have to do math, but even then, it would only be bad because it would involve your death and losing you would be worse than killing scum would be good).
Now mass weak compulsive electrifier on the other hand, wouldn't make any sense.

Annoyed by the modnotes, are we?
You're a
vig
!
At night, you can kill people.
Note: You're actually not.

Not a modnote, are you happy now?
I once included this in a marathon I modded. (They were a vig, it was just that the game was nightless so they couldn't use their kill. I told them that in the role PM, and laughed at their misfortune)
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?

You're
Bill Sykes
. You're a drunkard and a thief who lives on the outskirts of town. You must speak in a drunken slur. Failure to do so will not only get you modkilled, but also booted off the site for a week

You're
Albert
. You have a daighter. You only view her as a fodder to ensure your grasp on politics. Your greatest enemy is Kazuya, who loves your daughter and will do anything to get her out of your clutches. However, since your ex-wife is supporting Kazuya, your win condition is to eliminate both of them. Unfortunately, you die in a fire as soon as you attempt yo fulfill this win condition. Sucks to be you.

You are a
Tumor


Each night(starting the first night), you visit a random town players house. If that player dies, you die. If you survive, it requires one more vote than normal to lynch someone during day for each succesfull time you target someone. This will not be reflected in the vote count. You win with the town.

You're
an Indecisive Lynch Starter
. You must start a wagon on one person, and unvote them when they're at L-2. You must do this periodically. Claiming this role will get you modkilled. You win if you survive till endgame.

You're
Takeo
. You're extremely kind-hearted and dense. You know who mafia are and your girlfriend is among them. Due to your kind-hearted nature, whenever mafia is about to be lynched, you're lynched instead of them. Good news is that mafia will have you win with them. Bad news is, you're dead.

Weak fruit vendor isn't much better than weak cop, because on the night you hit Mafia, they can just claim not to have seen the fruit vendor message. It doesn't really even confirm townies, because if anyone you targeted has died, the scum can take an educated guess that that's happened when nobody claims to have been fruit vendored on a particular night and claim that it was them who was targeted that night.

That said, weak cop is not a weak role.

Right. My point isn't that you can't play it like weak cop, because you can; it's that I can't see any advantages (or disadvantages, to be fair) it has over weak cop for the player holding it or their faction.

Basically the only difference is that you have an excuse for claiming/seriously crumbing your targets before you fullclaim.

Also it has all the advantages (Which, admittedly, I'm not sure exist beyond the occasional specific situation) of a normal fruit vendor.

Actually that makes me think of a good terrible role.

You are a

You know how a Friendly Neighbour basically lets other people get Cop results on you (thus proving you're town)? Fruit Vendor was intended as the Rolecop version of that (it lets you prove you don't have another role). It's normally only really seen in Smalltown-type games where you get to bid on roles; you get to say "look, I had the option to bid on roles and intentionally chose a useless one". Some people like being able to do that, even though it isn't really alignment-indicative.

You are the Cult Leader: You win when you have recruited all remaining alive players. The player in question must agree to be part of the cult.


(The mod gives this role to every player in the game)
You are not more paranoid than me!!!!
