Or this:

You are an indecisive jester/survivor. You win if you are lynched on an odd day and the game ends on an odd day. You also win if you are not killed in any way and the game ends on an even day. Otherwise, you lose.

You are a Zombie with a rotting brain.

You may not _______. You may only ______ when ______. Each night, you can either choose to target someone in order to eat their brain, which will help your brain regenerate, or else you may ______. You may also ______, but only if _____.

You win if ______.

Mod note: the holes in the Zombie's memory (the blanks in the role PM) will be filled in based on who he eats. The first person he eats, he will gain their win condition, and the mod will send his new, modified, role PM to him that night. After that, he will gain role restrictions and other abilities from other people he eats, filling in the rest blanks in his role PM. If the Zombie dies without getting a win condition, he loses.

No, I meant if the Zombie has a chance of winning. Not many games have seven nights.

You are the town-loving town-hater. You win with the town. Also, you know that these are the town.

(List all non-scum.)

You may not vote for or accuse anyone who is not on this list. Good luck!

You are "Cluster bombed". Each night you may choose to become the target of all other players' night actions. You win with the town.

If there is a doc in play, at least you won't die. BUT what would happen if you were jailed? Or let's say there is a roleblocker in play. If he doesn't target you and then you use this, he is targeting you. What's gonna happen? Will the world to implode in a giant catch-22?

This role ability already exists in various forms, including as you exactly described.

You are cheese. You have a life span of 30 pages before you grow blue mold and are decided to be thrown out. On the bright side, that will never happen as the mod will eat you after the first post. (He loves cheese after starting a game)

Modnote: This is Illchester (Off the cheese sketch) and tastes terrible and so at the first taste, it will be spat out and randomly kills 1 player. Also a 10% chance to rebound and kill someone else (with a 10% on them as well)

Ah. Well, the first time he kills someone, he gets their win condidition. Other blanks get filled in later, and if they don't all get filled in, that dosn't hurt him.

Although it'd be pretty funny if he ate the brain of someone with a post restriction and aquired their post restriction, heh heh.

That zombie role owns. I'd love to see that in a game.

It could get so very very nasty though.

If he gets an SK's win condition, a miller's 'ability', etc.

The luckiest guy could get an awesomely powerful role, the unluckiest guy could get the worst role ever.

I kinda like the Zombie role, actually, though I agree it perhaps has too many blanks. Good replay value...

You might as well just write it like this...
You lose if you are nightkilled. You have a 50% chance of losing even if you aren't nightkilled. Otherwise, you win.

Now you see the danger of being Peter or Sylar from Heroes.

Seriously, what if one day Peter stands too close to a guy whose power is having no powers? Or a guy whose power is that he dies in two days.

And yes, I remember the Exploding Man. :)

You are
Oprah Winfrey
. In order to win, you need to talk. And talk thou shall. You most post at least 20 sentences each day, and this game should always be the thread where you last posted. Each post must contain 20 sentences. If you don't satisfy the mod, you'll die. You win when you live

It's the creepy little boy from The Orphanage (El Orfanato). It's a horror movie about a lady who lives in an orphanage and my avatar is the masked ghost of a deformed child. :P

It's in Spanish with subtitles, but my wife and I saw it in the local movie theater. They're going to make an American remake of it, which will probably suck.

It's a really good flick, and pretty scary. Also, my wife tells me she's creeped out by my avatar. (Which I also use as my spraypaint on HL2)
