You are the
Anti-social Jester


You have no night abilities or day abilities. Because you absolutely hate talking to people, you are not allowed to post. You place no value on life and wish you were dead, but won't rest until everyone has died first. You win if you are the last player standing and lynch yourself.

I think permanent post restrictions should be used for 1 of 2 reasons:

1) To balance a powerful role. For example, a super-vig might be muted.
2) To make the game more interesting. I can understand if people disagree with this, but if you don't like it, don't play theme games.

In any case, a post restriction should usually not be the type where code is useful for easier communication. A good example I saw was where a guy had to speak in rhyme with a certain poetic structure. Sure he could use code, but he'd still have to write poetry.

I had an idea for a bastard mod game:

The premise is that the game is perfectly normal game... with one exception: everyone (minus one) has a post restriction because someone has stolen their ability to speak normally. The post restrictions will go away once that person is dead. The catch is that nobody has a post restriction and everyone is told (via PM) that they're the post restrictor in addition to their other role. Everyone is also warned (secretly), that as the post restrictor, being lynched will result in the death of X other people on their team. :D

Every night after a few rounds in the tavern, you head towards the crime scene. You show up at dawn and pretend to analyze the environment. You learn the alignment of the recently fallen towns person. Anyone else would have to wait until morning to know this information, but you're special.

Ooooh! And then there can be a guy who really wanted a hat but could never find one and fabricated an imaginary one in his unbalanced mind.

You are the town
Ballot Counter


Any number of times, at any time during the day, you may post a vote count. The vote count doesn't have to reflect the actual state of the game, but it must have the same number of votes as the actual game state. You win when you are the last man standing.

You are responsible for counting votes, as well as writing nightscenes and dayscenes. You may write whatever you'd like, but I'm not telling you anything about alignments, night choices, etc. Those you have to make up.

If you get anything wrong, you will be modkilled.
I'd like to meet the genius who succeeds in this undertaking. :D Better yet, I'd like to
be

your crazy delusional other side will take over posting for you on even days, on these days you may not post normally but must instead post whatever is sent to you by your crazy delusional alternate personality, he wins if you are lynched.

you win if you survive until endgame.
Hmmmm.... that gives me an idea for a legit role. What if two people secretly forced the other to post what they wanted, knowing that they're on opposite teams and more or less of equal utility. Naturally, they wouldn't be allowed to out each other or share their roles with the town. It would be interesting to see if they cooperated.

Everyday you must insult each player individually at least once (even the dead ones). You win with the town.
