I have role that is good but at the same time is bad because it is insanly too powerful. I was playing Mafia on IRC and the moment I read it I had delusions of granduer running through my head.
Assassin Jester (sk): You win if you are lynched. You are immune to kills. You kill other players at night. You also win when you are in the final two and there are no other killers.
Abilities: kill
I don't think I could loose outside of being endgamed.
Edit:
The only way I could have lost was via SUPER KILL which does not count as a regular kill but as a kill that even destroys those nk imune. The mafia endgaming or voting me down would have resulted in me still wining. Having a role that is harmful to the town and can kill keeps the game going even when its just you and the mafia.Last edited by PokerFace on Wed Jun 25, 2008 4:39 am, edited 4 times in total.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Facehugger
You are a nasty Alien with players XXXX, YYYY, and ZZZZ. You are an Alien Facehugger. Once per game you may post "Hug: (target player)" which will immediately end the day. During any subsequent day or twilight period you may post "Burst!" which will result in the death of the hugged player and immediately end the day. After a successfulBurst!post you will receive the Juvenile Alien role PM, and assume that role. You win when only Aliens remain in the ship.-

The role effectively gets two no-lynches and a day kill at any time. It doesn't need a lynch immunity also.Booker wrote:Sort of instant scum-confirmation, though, particularly if the game is Aliens-themed... Hope "Juvenile Alien" gets a lynch-immunity.
(The best tims to use this role are either when the Face-Hugger is already being bandwagonned or near endgame and in either case scum confirmation isn't really an issue.)I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.-

I accidentally stumbled across a mechanic I'm interested in developing further -- scum confirmation in exchange for expanded scum power. If townies have limited ammo (one shot or two shot vig) then the interesting aspect of play is determining who uses their shot during the night phase. I made a post in the Theme Test Market where I would like to explore this idea.
An Alien theme game would be pretty cool... BM are you reading this?-

Scum confirmation only matters if there is an unlimited vig or more onshot vigs then there are scum. This role could be bastardized a lot more though. If taking out the facehugger after the face hugger latches on to someone also kills their victim, well, then it really doesnt matter.Thok wrote:

Psychotic Jester Lover
You are a Psychotic Jester Lover. You have no special night ability; however, if you are lynched, you will kill whoever has the second-highest number of votes at the time the final vote is cast. If that player also has the PJL role, instead of dying, the two of you kill everyone else in the game and run off into the sunset together. If this happens, you win. If either of you dies and the other survives, you become a Serial Killer.-

You are theMan with the Plan. Before the game, you may submit 25 pre-constructed phrases to the Mod. These phrases will be numbered in the order received (the first as #1, #2, etc). Any posts made in thread must consist only of quotes, official (bolded) votes/unvotes, and the numbers for phrases which will be edited in by the Mod. Anything else will result in a modkill.Show"Shut up!" one woman shouted at another.

You areQuagmire-- you refuse to read your role PM, so you don't know your alignment or if you have a role. Feel free to submit names for your possible night action. You have no idea what your win condition is. Have fun and pray you aren't a survivor!-

You are Sephiroth, since learning how you came to be, you hate everyone. Each night you may submit one name of a player to be killed. If you are targetted for any night action you will kill whoever targetted you. If you are ever lynched you will return to life and summon meteor to kill all those that voted for you. In the day phase you may pm me the name of any of your Sephiroth Clones (X and X) to be lynched, this will end the day phase.
If you feel like throwing a piece of Jenova at someone during the day you may. This will kill them at twilight. You may not throw more than 4 pieces of Jenova during the game and never the same piece twice.
You may use Supernova once in the game, this will stop anyone from posting another other than a Vote or FoS during the day phase.
At night you may create a barrier to keep you away from the rest of the town, this will make you unlynchable. You may not kill anyone once you have created the barrier or in the same night you create the barrier. The barrier's existance will be announced to the town.
During the day you may ask Cloud to do whatever you want at night, there is a 50% chance he will. You will have to bold any requests you make.
[Mod note: Unless Sephiroth is targetted by Cloud at night, the night action will not go through.]
------------
You are Cloud, you don't know who you are or what you are. You have heard Sephiroth is still alive. Each night you may PM me the name of one person you would like to target, if you pick Sephiroth you will kill him. You win when only the town remain alive.
[Mod note: If Cloud targets Sephiroth, they both die.]
------------------------------
And that's how to create a balanced SK in a 50 people theme game.[url=http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=414662#414662]Damnit, Nemesis.[/url]-

You are theactualJester. It's your job to make funny comments in thread. If anybody LOL's, ROFL's, ROFLMAO's, hahahaha's, or does a spit-take in response to one of your posts, you win!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You are theDrummerand you got the time. Every night, PM me with a time signiture to be announced the next day. On any given RL day, no player may make more posts than beats in the time signiture for risk of a Modkill. You with with the town.
You are theBassistand you got the key. Submit a key (A-G) via PM every night to be announced the next day. Any player not using the letter of your key (isolated letters don't count) will be modkilled. You win with the town.
You are thePianistand you got the chord quality. Select one quality from the list (minor, major, dominant, augmented, diminished) and PM it to me for a surprise! You win with the town.
[ModNote: Too lazy to come up with corresponding restrictions. Deal]
You are theBandleaderand you got the form. Every night, you may select the number of RL days in the form as well as any amount of repeats from 0 to 8. The number of bars in the form will be announced in thread, but not the number of repeats. On the second to last day of any form going into a repeat, yourself and all bandmembers will receive a PM stating "turnaround" indicating that a new form will begin. You win with the town.Show"Shut up!" one woman shouted at another.

Congratulations! You areGiacomo, King of Jesters and Jester of Kings, and your wide range skills and talents have been hired by HRM, the benevolent and wonderful Mod of this thread. You are a side-splittingly funny comedian, skilled in the arts of mime, acting, juggling, sword, and dance, a dashing swordsmen (you're secretly an assasin, dontcha know), and one of the most eligible bachelors around in all of Europe. Unfortunatly, unbeknowst to the fair citizens of thread, you're not really Giacomo...you're actually an ex-carnie named Hubert Hawkins (I can see why you just go by your surname), so, while you can do the whole juggling/acrobatics/acting like an idiot bit, you have a long way to go.
But don't worry! That's why we had our very own witch cast a spell on you, to make you think you really are Giacomo. You live for sigh, you die for a kiss and are a master with the shiny sword hanging at your waist. Unfortunately, it's not a very stron mind control spell. Every time someone snaps their fingers in thread (or says Snap), you will alternate between your humble carnie self and the personality of Giacomo.
As Hawkins, you're a regular old fashioned townie and win when all the threats to the town (and the line of succession) are elliminated. As Giacomo, being the world's greatest assassin, you are a directed-kill serial killer/lyncher. When you are Giacomo, the mod will send you your target, who, it is your responsibility to either lynch or nightkill, depending on the phase. (This target will change with every snap of the fingers, just remember that). You win when you're the only one alive. Also there might be some people out to kill you, but you can outsmart them as long as you remember that the pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true...I think...
*Snap* you are nor Giacomo. Your target is X.
And remember, since you're a jester, you *must* be funny. You will be modkilled if you're not.
Mod Notes: To make this game more *fun*, have a character called Acapella Choir Director, who will constantly be snapping his fingers. If Giacomo/Hawkins dies as Giacomo, he automatically loses.-
