Can it at least vote while alive? If not, it's 100% voteless. If so, you could probably set up a code, unless there's limits on voting frequency.

Also, what counts as speaking? Can they "............." and "!!!!!!!!!!!!" at people?

It could vote. Anything else, including "..." would get it modkilled by trying to open a mouth he didn't have. Even "..."s, though that would be fun.
Waiting for the day I can come back and mod games.

The Worst Roles Mafia large only allowed posting via the use of avatar-sized images. knox and YYR got it, and actually managed to scumhunt through it. (One of them managed to say more per post via the use of gifs containing handwritten text.)

You are an
Ominous Townie
.

In your first post, place a countdown timer with a duration of your choice, between 1 week and 3 weeks.
In every post of yours from then on, you must place the same countdown timer (i.e. copy-paste the original timer, so that the new timer reaches zero at the same time).
What happens when the timer runs out? Who knows!

That's not a worst role. That's a great role. :lol:

It'd be really fun to tie that to trigger another role, so that when the timer runs out someone gets a dayvig shot, or someone suicides, or whatever else.

Goddamn I want to put this role in a game now.

My aim in this thread is often to create roles that could be used in an actual game. (In particular, if anyone ever runs another Worst Roles Mafia, I hope it's in there.)

Not having any idea what your role actually does and being forced to go along with it is pretty Worst.

I guess it depends what you mean by Worst. I was thinking Worst roles are roles that are either completely pointless or extremely frustrating in some way for the player with the role or a particular faction or even everyone in the game.

My definition is pretty much "roles that could only be used in a bastard game, and may well suck for the player who gets them".

Some of the roles are designed to be usable. Others are guaranteed to destroy whichever game they're in. (I think the most recent Worst Roles Mafia, which used random roles from the thread (!), let one slip through that was almost guaranteed to cause a win for the faction of whoever got it.)

IMO that's a net positive for town. Vote to direct it, use it on your second lynch choice, if it hits town you saved yourself half a mislynch, if it hits scum you confirmed them as scum.

Look, I don't even get what you were asking for here. Your vocabulistics are limited to "I" and "Am" and "Groot", exclusively in that order.

Confirm by saying… well… you know. Let's just get this over with.

I'm pretty sure Loyal does absolutely nothing on a Town Framer, at least outside multiball. Either you target town, in which case Loyal has no effect, or you target scum, in which case Framer has no effect.

The joke with Weak Framer is that Weak means you die if you target someone who investigates as scum, and Framer makes them investigate as scum. (I know you're not meant to explain jokes, but…)

That's my point.

Framer doesn't affect non-townies anyway, because they're already not town, thus making them investigate as not town isn't a change.
Thus Loyal Framer is indistinguishable from Framer, except in some cases involving multiball or arguably Godfather.
