Worst role ideas?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Posting in rhyme is easy lime.
I can do it all the time.
Seriously lime.
I don't see the problem time.

[Yosarian2]

It was in an AA/BB rhyming scheme, and there were a "reccomended" number of sylables per line. And everyone thought I was faking a post restriction and lynched me. Making random posts in verse was kind of fun, but actually trying to defend myself against repeated attacks in verse was a nightmare.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Um, just add random rhyming words to the end, like I just did? And if syllables is an issue, just add spacing and punctuation for no particular reason.

[Yosarian2]

Well, this was about the best I could do, when trying to defend myself in verse.

Voting for me just because I'm vanillia makes no sense
Don't see why you say der hammer is cleared beyone all recompense
And ubertimmy's claim does not seem ironclad
Especally as his claimed target last night makes me mad

Ubertimmy's restriction could be faked
And PBUG's role still not confirmed, seems half-baked
If thedocsalive's not dead, then where is he?
If not dead, then why not today do we see?

I'm not sure what's going on, and will soon snooze
But somethings not right, we've got something to lose
I really don't think it's likely primate is scum
Following the plan, lynching me then lynching may will cause town loss, is dumb.

Don't just look at claims
Examine everything, use your brains
"Lynch all vanillias" not good
No reason it's understood

Bah...BJ may be right, in sooth
Good guys should never tell the truth
If silly people like all of you
Want to lynch me for claiming true

Heh.

If you're looking for bad roles, just tell mlaker to make the coolest game ever.

Catch-22 SK: You are unable to kill unless you have already killed somebody. You win when you have killed somebody.

I sure hope there's an inventor.

Leonardo Da Vinci: All of your posts must be written backwards. In Italian.

As Flavor Text to include with the role.

"Leonardo was truly brilliant. Too bad he never lived to see the day."

Bastard Mod Mafia roles.

I think the worst of the bunch were the single townie with the false "townie info", and the Nightwatchman. The second falls foul of the Post Restrictions Suck 'rule', and the first is avoidable in most games since the Mod isn't usually actively misleading you.

A Werewolf/Mafia mason team, though, was just comedy gold.

Oh, I've seen one of those before. Here. It's a goldmine of bastard modding.

[Fircoal]

What game was this in? I'd like to see it.
And good point.
As for post-restriction roles, I am not in favor of them.

No, there's games where everyone has a post restriction, or else they can't use their power at night. There's no vanillas, and it's usually pretty interesting.

M4yhem was a pikachu cop in Post Restriction 3.

Also, Green Liquid, are you planning a forth?

Lucky, I would of wanted to be Pikachu, to me that would of been a good role.

[the silent speaker]

Out of curiosity, Zindaras, accepting for the moment the premise that scum masons aren't bastardmoddery to begin with, why is a mason group composed entirely of scum masons "a goldmine of bastard modding"?

Modified Overearger Vig:
You are an vigilate, however you are over eager, so you must shoot every night; and if you kill someone protown, you spend the entire following day feeling too regretful to vote, but you'll still have to shoot the next night.

[Adele]

How about a cop... but he doesn't get to pick who he investigates, the mafia send the choice in. He gets an accurate result on that person, and they can't pick the same target more than once, though.

[Kelly Chen]

I'd give him a result on that night's kill.

[Ghyrt]

I'd give him a result on that night's kill.

You are the

Cop who pretends to do his job

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.

[IH]

You are an SK kill magnent. You have 80% chance of drawing all kills that night. You win when you're in the final two/alone.

[Yosarian2]

One role I was acually considering using in a game was this:

You are a lunitic who thinks he's a cop.

Your entire life, you've wanted to be a cop. You've got a police badge, a police uniform, and a real police firearm. However, you would never be accepted into the police force, partly because you're an absolute barking lunatic who talks back to the voices and is often seem having long conversations with flowers. But now that the mafia's here, here's your big chance to prove you really are a cop!

You must claim cop during day 1. If you fail to do so, or if any any point you hint that you're not actually a cop or give any hint there might be a problem with your sanity, you lose all night abilites.

At night, you can attempt to "investigate" someone. You have absolutly no idea what will happen if you do. You win with the town.

[Rainbow Brite]

What happens if he does claim cop - does he become a sane cop? Insane cop? Vigilante?

[Yosarian2]

Oh, sorry, forgot to put that part there. Basically, the "cop" finds out nothing, but the target notices that he was wandering around his lawn and peeking in his windows at night.

[ChannelDelibird]

You are the

Insurance Salesman

. Each night, you may approach another player and ask them to take out medical insurance. If they say yes and are later killed, you will be told with 100% sanity the identities of all the scum at daybreak. However, being an insurance salesman, anyone you target will immediately say no and hit you with a baseball bat, causing you to lose your vote tomorrow. The nearest vigilante will come over to see what all the commotion is all about and kill you because you're upsetting the neighbours. You win when you claim cop (after all, the cop is seen as the number 1 hero role for the town, and you insurance people have a deep desire to be admired by the people), but you may not fake claim for fear of a lawsuit. If you fake claim, you permanently lose your ability to post freely, and may only communicate to the town by sending anything you wish to say through the scum for them to edit as they please before approving for you to post. You must post whatever they ask you to post.

This went a long way away from the actual premise of the insurance salesman, but I got a bit carried away.

[JDodge]

You are a member of the

Hemophobic Mafia

. You are afriad of blood, so you can't kill anybody. You can, however, send US$20.00 to me and I'll randomly pick someone to kill the target of your choice.

If you fail to make a night choice, you die.

[Kelly Chen]

I like this very much.

Hmm. off-topic, i know but...
I like the idea of an insurance salesman. What if the player, if they accepted, lost their voting rights the next day but would require more than a standard majority to be lynched?

[mole]

You are the

Paragon of Mafia Hunters

. Everyone you vote for is 100% guaranteed to be mafia.

(How to implement this though? Should he turn people into death millers? Or everyone he votes for is immediately recruited into the mafia?)

[Glork]

This is the... Best. Role. EVAR!


Perhaps the game should start out with a single mafiate, and that anybody for whom the Paragon votes is turned into a Mafia Traitor. If the Paragon later states that he thinks they are pro-town, they revert back to their original role, or something like that. However, the original Mafia Godfather cannot be reverted, so that the Paragon cannot get a town win by stating that he thinks everybody is pro-town. Also, of course, the Paragon wouldn't know that he had this ability, so it's not as though he could state that everybody is pro-town and then play a game with only one scumbag.

[Thok]

A variation on mole's role.

You are PJ. You know that there's a cult out there, you can feel it, and you want it dead. Each night you can choose to target somebody and if you think they are cult they will die. You win when the cult recruiter is dead.

Mod note: Cults target, then kills them. (Doc protects cancel culting, as does UNK issues). Wins when dead. Basically a suicidal vig/death miller creator.
