Here is a role I thought of in the shower:

You are the
Devil
. You have no special powers, except the power of The Deal.

At night you may secretly offer a deal to a player. If they choose to accept the deal that player will permanently become a (cop/doctor/lawyer/JOAT/whatever power role etc.) and in exchange you will get their soul (their vote!). You will be allowed to (secretly) move their vote wherever you like. If they choose not to accept the deal, nothing happens.

You win when you control the majority of votes left in the game. Also you're the devil so you're immune to night kills and any powers you give out.

I agree. Give town cool stuff so they beat mafia. Then you beat them all as SK that controls more than 1/2 the votes in thread. You can instant lynch all those that appose you as long as the vote stealing element is hidden or not linked to you

This is too cool.
I would spin this off into its own faction

3 devils who offer deals as a faction
No factional kill.
((Players have to accept the deal or it's impossible for devil win ))

Maybe players could pick their power instead
One-shot cop
Augment another player's vote by 1 (this reduces devil influence if you pick right)

It could also work as a mafia role as syndrome laid out

I played in a game with something similar. It was interesting.

I think the BPness makes it a little OP, but without the BPness it's too underpowered because people can refuse the deal.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?

Spoiler: His Role
Welcome, TierShift.

Game thread is here

Congratulations! You have won the game! Your win will be announced when D1 starts. For sure, this is the easiest victory you've had in any game onsite.

Now, I know despite the fact that you just won the game, there's a small chance you're disappointed that you can't participate in the game. So I'll give you a chance.

If at any point during the game I need a replacement, you get first dibs on taking that spot. If you do, you will no longer be a winner, unless you satisfy that slot's win conditions.

I'm so generous.

Now go enjoy your victory. I have other role PMs to get out.

You made me check. Somehow, I'm far from surprised that I'm the second, and Izak (who modded at least one of the Worst Roles Mafias) is #1.

In post 4045, Lurker wrote:You are a MIME INFILTRATOR.

You and your 4 buddies xxx, xxx, xxx, and xxx must get lynched in order to win the game.

You are disguised a a MAFIA GOON, and have infiltrated the PM.

You have one other teammate who has infiltrated the MASON PM.

You have a factional role-block, and as long as both infiltrators are alive, a factional Redirect.

In addition, bonuses are added depending on the amount of mimes you have alive.

If

1,2,3, and 4 are alive, there are 2 lynches each day phase
if 1,2, and 3 are alive, all mimes get a 1-shot bulletproof.
if 2,3, and 4 are alive, the person with most votes at deadline is lynched.
if 1,2, and 4 are alive, you can 1-shot governor a person from the mason pm.
if 1,3, and 4 are alive, you can 1-shot governor a person from the mafia pm.
if 1 and 2 are alive, you have a 1-shot tracker.
if 2 and 3 are alive, you have a 1-shot watcher
if 3 and 4 are alive, you have a 1-shot doctor
if 1 and 3 are alive, you have a 1-shot role-cop.
if 1 and 4 are alive, you have a 1-shot Jailer
if 1 is alive, you are a doublevoter.
if 2 is alive, you are full-bulletproof.
if 3 is alive, you can steal someone's vote each day.
if 4 is alive, you cannot be roleblocked or redirected.

You win when all 5 mimes are lynched.

Mod note: mime #3 is a mime ursurper

Mime Ursurper

You are a MIME URSURPER

If you successfully survive to endgame without all of your mime buddies getting lynched, you win the game.


am I the only one who really wants this to happen

If the mod's only mistake is to say that you win when they didn't make any mistakes, thus makes you win, but then the mod didn't make a mistake meaning you didn't win.

You are the opposite.
while you are alive, every player who wins loses instead, and every player who loses wins instead.
You win when you survive to endgame. But that means you lose.

If the mod says you win when he didn't make a mistake, then the mistake made is in causing a logical paradox.

You are the
ULTIMATE WIFOM


During the Night Phase you're able to kill a selected player
if
there were no kill during that night (because of Blocking, intentional No Kill, etc.).
Also, you can target
another
player, if they get targetted during the Night, any investigation will give an opposite result, any block or protection will not work, any action made by the taget will be redirected to a random player. (If a redirect is not possible, the target dies regardless of everything.)

You win if the game gets permanently stuck because the players alive can't get out of a WIFOM or if it gets abandoned because of the loss of interest.

Good luck!

You are the power of town.

You know all scum. But unfortunately when each scum gets lynched, they have a vengekill. If the scum vengekills you, town lose. If all scum are lynched and you are alive, town wins.

EDIT: Note that if power of town gets killed or lynched, town can still win.
