Worst role ideas?

[inspiratieloos]

Don't forget to keep spamming the thread to avoid modkill, while also avoiding annoying the other players which will also get you a modkill.

Insecure Teenage Girl

Welcome to the game. You are in love with every player in the game. If any of them die then you will kill yourself from unbearable sadness. That or you'll become a stump who can only complain about other players and not make a case. I, the mod, get to decide.

[callforjudgement]

Ooh, I just thought of a really horrifically bad role!

You are a

List-mod-dependent Cheater

. Halfway through day 1, you must PM another player in the game with game-related information, although you must not claim any details of this role or that it's legal for you to PM other players. The mod of this game will mysteriously go offline at this time, and as such be unable to lock the thread to respond to the likely allegations of cheating. What this ability does, therefore, depends on who eventually ends up locking the thread until the mod of this game gets back:

singersigner

: All players apart from VTs, Cops, Doctors, Jailkeepers, Mafia Goons, and Mafia Rolecops die.

Hoopla

: The entire setup will be publicly published, although not which player has which role.

Papa Zito

: I will go and attempt to get this game reviewed for normalcy and balance. The thread won't be re-opened until the review has failed spectacularly.

hasdgfas

: Each player's role will be replaced by a role functionally identical to their current role, but with different flavour.

farside22

: I'll add an extra three VTs and a Mafia Goon into the game from outside.

Llamafluff

: This game goes full-on Bastard Mod. I mean, more than it is already.

If the thread ends up getting locked by

mith

,

Mr. Flay

, or

Kison

, you get modkilled, because, you know, they aren't list mods.

You win with the town.

[quadz08]

That's actually quite fun.

[izakthegoomba]

It's a shame there isn't a separate Micro list mod. That one could be fun.

[Leafsnail]

You are a

Parallel-world Assassin

.

Every night you may choose a player to kill. When the night phase ends they will die in every game they are currently alive in. If you die then you will also die in every other game you are currently alive in.

You win when you are the last player left alive.

[Xalxe]

I am really trying to figure out how the list mod role could be made to work.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I don't have a role name, but.

You are a mafia whatever

You cannot be lynched unless every other player votes you. However, if you are lynched, mafia immediately loses.

For extreme luls, throw a town version in there too that if lynched loses the game for town.

For an even worse role, make the town one be part of a mason group that is equally sized to the scumteam. (Although it gets a little unfun and breakable at this point, unless the roles aren't known in reverse).

[Leafsnail]

Your partners wouldn't vote for you so it wouldn't be too bad. Well I mean it's bad in that it's a mafia member who is almost impossible to lynch but

[callforjudgement]

Yeah but if you were identified as scum, it'd give away one of your buddies every day (when all other players voted for them), until eventually you were alone and could be lynched.

So basically, it's a disadvantage. It'd pretty much identical to vengeful-style godfather (or "secretary" as I insist on calling it), just takes rather longer to sort out.

[saulres]

You are a

Counter-claimer

. Whenever anyone claims a role and/or name, you must counter-claim them with the same role and/or name. If asked to provide your actions during various phases, if they already claimed actions you must claim the same actions (unless you were somehow in their actions). If they haven't, you must make something up. You cannot unclaim the role until someone else makes a claim, in which case you must then counter-claim them. You win with the town.

Not really that difficult a post restriction. On day one, say,
"Someone claim VT. I'll explain later." (Or something to that effect.)
Someone does.
"

Counterclaim: VT.

" (It's a role, which can be claimed.)

"Someone claim Cop."
Someone does.
"

Counterclaim: Cop.

As it's d1, I have not yet made any actions. Now someone claim VT again."
Someone does.

"

Counterclaim: VT.

"

Or something like that. The mod can prevent a strategy like this by further restricting it, but without those further restrictions to prevent the above, it's actually incredibly easy to convey the message of what your role is without actually claiming your real role.

[callforjudgement]

In general, if you have a "you must do X" role, the best way to signal that to the other players is to do X as often as you can, as obnoxiously as you can.

You are the MAPLE SYRUP

When someone targets you for an ability or kill, it fails and they get stuck.

If they are stuck, they must use the same ability on you again to get unstuck.

Players cannot be stuck more then once.

The 2nd time an ability is used, it will have the appropriate effect on the MAPLE SYRUP.

You win with the MAFIA.

For extra lulz, include this role in the same setup:

You are a

drama queen

. You must claim scum if you receive a single vote at any point in the game.

[callforjudgement]

Again, optimal play with drama queen is to vote yourself, claim scum, unvote, claim town, preferably all in the same post. People would figure it out quickly from that. (Or just claim, if claiming wasn't banned.)

This is rather awesome

Tar baby?

[Aj The Epic]

You are

adopted.

I couldn't find any other way to say it, so I made a mafia role.

I'm pretty sure we've already had that.

[Aj The Epic]

I'm new to the forum. Unfortunate double, then.

[Lurker]

You are the OBSERVANT COP

For every action taken on you there is a 25% chance It will be seen In your result scene.

This cop gets an investigation scene much like death scenes at beginning of days and lynch scenes at the end of days.

EX: Donald was sure that he had hit scum. He was walking in the house when he saw a shadow on the ground outside. Someone was tracking him!

He couldn't see who it was, so he went in and found a chainsaw in the closet of ______-

He appeared to be GUILTY

[quadz08]

That doesn't really count as a worst role at all (except for that fact that it's random).

[Toon Fighter]

You are a public COP. Every night you may investigate a player, your results will be published the following morning, but your name will not be revealed.

Possible Modnotes: actually paranoid/insane/naive/random/will always show as having investigated himself/is really not public/he dies if he investigates mafia/will always show up as 'no result'/his identity will be revealed in the morning/has a 50% chance of being public and receiving the results himself/etc.

Which one is better?

[Leafsnail]

It needs to be 100% guaranteed sane to be a bad role really.
