You are Fritzler, BAMF. You have unlimited daykills. These kills do not end the day. You win when everyone else is dead.
That must be the hardest role in the world to win with. :D

Worst roles I can remember having:
Hated Townie

You take one vote less to lynch.
OK, this is a liability role. Best way to play it is agressively, get lynched or NK'd early as I'm too dangerous late, and see what dust I can throw up. I didn't know that I'd become a serial killer on night 2....
Conan the Barbarian

Post restricted Mafia. Can only speak in grunts.
My first ever role in Scumchat. I got lynched day 1, obv.

Why would a Hated Townie be a bad role to have? You just take a little more care.

I've had a town role that said "You can't win."

Night 0, I got poisoned, which removed my abilities, so if I had gotten myself lynched Day 1, I could've won with the town. Instead, I just played it out like a normal Townie and the thing turned out to be a bastard role.

This one's a good one, too:

JayDreven: Can choose to protect, roleblock, or send a note which will give the guy a vote.
Protection and Roleblock don’t work. Comes back the first time the Town would win. Town can’t win as long as he’s alive.
(Italics is unknown)

I've played both.

It's a liability in endgame, so it's better to play it aggressively. The bit of the role that was
really
evil was having my win condition changed
after I'd being playing that way deliberately for all of day 1
so my survival was essential instead of undesirable.

Binar - all your posts must be made in binary code.

Alarmist - When posting, you may only vote for a player mentioned in the above post!!! Also, all your sentences must end with 3 exclamation marks and at least ONE CAPITAL WORD!!!

Anti-Roleblocker - You can roleblock, but it only works against roleblockers.

"Me too" - May only quote other posts.

Guy wearing a red shirt - you may make an investigation, but if you do, you die. Before you can tell anyone the results.

Ralph Nader - You're Ralph Nader. You wanted to play mafia, but the car you drive to the town where they play emits too much carbon monoxide. Therefore, you must walk to the town. By the time you get there, the game will already be over. So, you're not playing.

So because your role is a liability in endgame you're going all out from Day One?

Ralph Nader is actually the role that secretely comes back in the third election (Day 3) and totally wins for no reason at all, and everyone else loses.

How about this:
Chuck Norris - You're Chuck Norris. By being Chuck Norris, you've already won. Do whatever you want for the rest of the game. You are unlynchable and non-night-killable.

I've heard many opine that the job of a vanilla is to get yourself nightkilled. Moreso with this role than a standard vanilla. And in a mini game, you can find yourself in near-endgame situations after only a couple of days.

Oh, and Andrews - those roles I cited earlier are from a game which included Chuck Norris too. He was a vig who could only vig people who were voting him at the end of the day, with a one-shot dayvig on someone who was voting him, invoked by posting "
I roundhouse kick you in the head
" along with a quote of the person voting him.

The means of execution for my Scumchat dayvigs is always something along the lines of:
Execute: Glrok
FoS: day-kill target.

That never gets old.
Scumchat is awesome. Yarr!

Especially because I kept getting fooled by it... like the first four or five times it happened, at least. I think one time I even said "Oh great, you just executed your Doc" or something. >.<

If you ever give out a chuck norris role, you have to let them do whatever the eff they want, but don't tell them of their freedom, see if they discover it without you warning them.

Ha! Ancalagon took that role and used it as an example in his mafia game on http://www.bfme2.heavengames.com. I knew it sounded vaguely farmiliar.

I'd considered something like "me too", which allowed only quoting, voting, and the standard emoticons.

Of course, there's always a way around a restriction like that.

You are Fritz, a daykill vig, you must post Daykill: Person; and that person will be killed, and this must be in your first post of the day and be within 24 hours of day starting, and will end the day. If you do not post Daykill: Person in time or make a post without it you and a random pro-town person will be mod-killed. You win with Town.

dammit, can we please stop the "post restriction" roles which still allow morse? all they do is frustrate. if it's meant to prevent communication, ban code. if it's just meant to frustrate, then you're a bastard.
