Worst role ideas?

[Kelly Chen]

I don't think it's the same... If you violate "no day-talking" it's clear how you could be gaining an advantage. "Don't pm the other guy at night more than 3 times" is in the same vein as "type all your pms with only one hand." I don't think breaking such rules would feel like cheating.

[Perfectiondoesnotexist]

I don't know, I just like the idea of the townies getting confused, I also had a fun idea involving giving the cop and doc normal things when everyone else has a themed pm. Basically I love power roles getting lynched because pie7 is a little too town orientated, althou€gh it is proving quite useful for me at the moment.
It is more that I want the town to be disabled slightly, maybe I could make it something stupid, just so that I can truthfully say that they have a restriction...like do not wear pink flowery wellies and a black cocktail dress while pming...although it could be something slightly more fun like his/partner knows who they are, but they don't know until after they have sent in a NK choice...They might kill their own partner.

I was also thinking of a cop/doc that can only place the lynching vote...Sort of like a variation of hammah slammah, but more enforcable as they don't have to. I also make up random roles, when I'm bored,

[Perfectiondoesnotexist]

Sadly I am not allowed to moderate until the 14 of April, but hey I am allowed to dream of confusing town, because much as pie7 can be fun as town it isn't very fair, so it is more well I have won, but odds were we would. Where as in mine people will just run around trying to figure out exactly which alterations I have imposed.
Like a doc that knows who the cop is but cannot communicate with them and has to claim doc within 48 hours after the true cop claims. You still have both power roles but the doc is handicapped slightly.
Or a pro-mafia cop..BUT although he knows who the mafia are he can't pm them and they are told that he is a cop, but not that he is mafia aligned, and he can't be NK-ed so they have to try and get a cop lynched that is on their side, while the town may well protect him after he has claimed.
He is told role specific information, like doc, because he already knows alignments.

[Mafiaplayer]

A role that thinks it's recruiting masons, but it actually is culting them, even though the role wins with the town.

Do not mock me, damnit! (I wonder...has the open queue been updated at all in the past couple of weeks?)

Unless the doc's handicapped so as not to be able to protect the cop, or to be a death miller or something, this is broken in a bad way. The doctor's role doesnt suck at all.


And so I don't feel like I'm spamming, and was just in GD:

Congratulations! You are

a Bond girl

. You have to seduce James Bond. Each night, you must send the mod a scenerio of how you intend to seduce him. The mod will pass this scenerio along to the appropriate player. If that he agrees to go to bed with you, you have won regardless of what else happens. Hint: maybe you should check the newspaper for some dating ideas...

Mod Note: Bond girl's target is asexual and/or celebate and/or Catholic clergy (Since they only go for small boys). James Bond does not actually exist in this game. Each day the mod will post fabricated dating ads for 3 random players in the game. If the Bond girl doesn't refer to them, she will be postbanned for the day ^_^ The dating ads will serve the bastard mod purpose of breaking the game by outting roles.

[Seol]

You are the

Doctor

. You can save lives by dosing people up with sufficient drugs that even a bullet wound to the skull in their sleep will not kill them. Furthermore you are now sufficiently senior to have earned a 9 to 5 schedule! As such you cannot administer your doctoring during the night, but only the day.

Each day, at any point during the day (but only once per day), you may write a prescription for a given player by stating

Prescribe Lifesaving Medications For: X

in the thread (where X is the name of the player to be targetted that night. Bolding is important - the nightchoice will not apply without this. That player will be immune to nightkills that night.

You are town etc

You are a

Dreamer

, a man of unique insight and perception. Each night you have strange, prophetic visions of things to come - of seven fat cows and seven thin cows, that sort of thing. Perhaps if you concentrate on a specific player, you could glean directed insights.... well, if only you understood the dreams.

Each night you may choose a player, and you will receive a dream vision about them. If there is someone in the town who can understand these dreams, then between you, you could discover all sorts of interesting truths!

Mod note - there

isn't

a dream decoder.

Better yet, let the dream decoder = Freud, so that everything the cream decoder says is an attempt to psychoanalyze the dreamer and help him resolve his Oedipa confict.

[Glork]

Ha. Freudian cream decoder.

[Oman]

I'd call that a Freudian slip.

[Mirth]

I'd call that I can't type after a night of not sleeping

[Seol]

You are the

Glass Truth Ball

, Sacrificial Townie Truthteller, who shall reveal all on your destruction. At any point during the day, you may PM me with a targetted player to shatter yourself and reveal the truth within.

If you do this on day 1, you shall reveal the alignment of the targetted player (with absolute accuracy regardless of any abilities they have), and daykill them if they are scum.

If you do this on day 2, you shall reveal the alignment and all abilities of the targetted player.

If you do this on day 3, you shall reveal the alignment of the targetted player with the same accuracy as a standard sane cop.

If you do this on day 4, you shall reveal all abilities of the player (other than group-related ability to talk to other players at night or group-related ability to kill), but not their alignment.

If you do this on day 5, you shall reveal their rolename.

On day 6 or later your role has no effect.

Using the ability will instantly kill you.

You are town etc etc blah blah.

For a mini game where rolename and role descriptor are separate. Note that role abilities include appearing town to investigation.

....What if the doc has to claim cop instead??? Or 1 townie, 1 mafia goon and the doc have to counterclaim??

[Glork]

I'd call that I can't type after a night of not sleeping

Uh huh.

[Mafiaplayer]

A game where everyone is a Serial Killer, except for one surviver and one Recruiting Mason.

Yes, Glork. Sometimes a cigar is just a penis.

Here is a link to a thread about another bad role.

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7894

I laughed at it and thought it should be listed with the other bad roles in this thread.

[Mafiaplayer]

You are a WoW addict. Any cops who target you will find your games and buy them themselves. They will go broke in two days and lose their power, and starve to death a day later.

[windkirby]

You are the

Batch of Fireworks

The first night you launch, soar in to the sky, and explode into a radiant eruption of pretty colors! Then you die Death-Miller style. You win if you can get every player to comment on the fireworks the following morning or if the explosion instigates two people to make love.

[Imat]

Woot, I've been referred to here! Anyways, I'll quote here, seeing as how I missed this thread before...

You are the

Mafia Mason Cultist

. Through some great mix up in the grand scheme of things you have become a part of three separate groups, each vying for dominance. Of course, being a Mason and a Cultist lends you great power. You're basically confirmed from now on. Sit back, relax, and let your buddies, from all three groups, do the work for you.

Win Condition:

You can't win. If you survive to endgame, it becomes a draw.

This comes from a game I'm modding elsewhere, where I made the mistake of putting in a Hypnotist (For fun) and a Mason recruiter with a Mafia Mason already recruited. Yeah, as you can guess hes currently dominating the game. I let him win with the Mafia, though. Anyways, enjoy one of the worst roles I've ever thought up.

[Mafiaplayer]

You are bigfoot. Hence, in their role PMs, all players are told that they die if they refer to you or your posts. You win if three people refer to you.

[windkirby]

Wouldn't that be Beetlejuice?

[Yosarian2]

You are a

backstabber

. You can daykill someone if in their very last post have specifically said that they trust you. You win with the town.

[armlx]

A game where everyone is a Serial Killer, except for one surviver and one Recruiting Mason.

What about a game with 9 SK's, 2 Mafia, 1 Cult that frees recruits upon leader's death. No alignment reveals on death, the 1 SK kill a night is determined by who is targetted by most SK's that night, tie break is total targets all game then coin flip.

Mini 150ish, Murphyville. Check it out.
