Grand Idea Mafia

[Felissan]

You are a

Logician

You are a third party role. You have a hat on your head, that is either black or white, but you don't know which one.
There are other Logicians in the game: xxx, yyy... whose hats are colored xxx, yyy... Not all hats are colored white.
At any point during a Day Phase, you can guess your hat's color; if you're wrong, you die; if you're right, you win, the other Logicians lose, and you all leave the game.

I just thought it was a funny idea to have a completely unrelated game running in the same thread as Mafia

[Felissan]

Easily Intimidated Mafia Goon

You start the game as a Mafia Goon. When you're put at L-1 for the first time, you become a Vanilla Townie.

[Felissan]

Rooster

Once per night, you choose another player to wake up early, which lets him use his night action before anybody else.

[Felissan]

Vanilla Townie

Once per night, you can PM the mod to complain about the RNG he used.

@McMenno:

This kind of role can't exist (at least not worded this way), in a GIM game, the players don't receive a role PM but just a random post number.

[Felissan]

Town 1-shot Twilight Vig

@McMenno:

My bad.

[Felissan]

Town Adventurer

You have a 1/2 chance to be in town each day; if you're away, the town is aware of you being the adventurer, and you can't participate in the thread, be lynched or targeted by night actions until next day.
You win with town.

[Felissan]

You are a

Dragon

.
You don't care about the affairs of those pesky humen in that nearby town, so you can't vote.
If anyone tries to target you with an action, it fails and you eat them: they die without a flip. If you're lynched, everyone who was voting you dies along with you.
You win if you're alive at the end of the game.

[Felissan]

Vanilla Townie

this is an autowin role. cannot be killed, and can avoid a lynch by claiming. maybe make it 2 shot bp (thick scales) or allow day actions to go through. would still be strong, but not autowin

Well, first, anyone can claim Dragon, and second, GIM was never meant to be balanced in the first place.

[Felissan]

Loser Townie

You're a VT, but you have lost The Game.

[Felissan]

Town Universal Miller

Appears as Mafia to all investigative roles, except to Mafia roles who see him as Werewolf.

[Felissan]

Town Bulletproof Miller Vig

[Felissan]

Werewolf Rolecop

[Felissan]

Werewolf Treestump

[Felissan]

Vanilla Townie

I guess the role would remain unchanged then?

[Felissan]

Candlejack

You can't post in-thread at all, but you can't be prodded or replaced either.
Any player that mentions you in-thread (to the mod's discretion) gets modkilled.
You win when you're the last player alive.

I just really felt like making a role that doesn't actually play.

[Felissan]

Mafia Goon

I just don't see how the Peacemaker could win outside of some very specific cases, since anyone who knows there's a peacemaker would avoid nolynching too often.

[Felissan]

Mafia Roleblocker

[Felissan]

Town Professional Writer

Needs one less vote to be lynched for every typo pointed out by another player.

[Felissan]

Town Cupid

[Felissan]

Gourmet Werewolf

If you use your nightkill on a named VT, werewolves get an additional nightkill for this night only. There is no limit on the number of bonus kills per night from your role.

French Vanilla Townie

Post Restriction: every post must contain at least one french word.

Meh, using French out of nowhere is just so cliché.

[Felissan]

Werewolf Infiltrant

Has access to any neighbour PT. The neighbours are told the infiltrant is a vanilla neighbour.

[Felissan]

Town Léon Prunelle

You're a VT with a post restriction of having to say "ROGNTUDJU" (in all-caps, with a variable amount of Us at the end) in any post where you cast a vote.
(That's a Gaston Lagaffe character.)

[Felissan]

Monty Python Cardinal Ximenez

You get dayvig ability on players who said they didn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition, or any similar sentence, earlier in the same day phase.
You win when all players become Monty Python-aligned, or when it can't be prevented by any in-game means.

[Felissan]

Monty Python Cheese Vendor

If you're targetted by any night action, it fails and the player who did it gets a PM with a random quote among "No.", "Oh... the cat's eaten it" and “Well, I'm afraid we don't get much call for it around these parts.”
You win when all players become Monty Python-aligned, or when it can't be prevented by any in-game means.

[Felissan]

Town NGO Member

Once the roles are rolled, you can choose another player and give them a pamphlet, which will convert their role to a Town-aligned equivalent.
They can then choose a player to pass the pamphlet on to: it can belong to up to N/5 players rounded down, where N is the number of players in the game. When giving the pamphlet, one always knows how many players can still receive it.

Another pre-game alignment-switching role, with one conftown for anyone who passed the pamphlet on. It obviously had to stay at a low number to prevent massclaiming from breaking the game, does N/5 feel right?

[Felissan]

Werewolf

Could you explain a bit more what you mean when you speak of countermeasures?

[Felissan]

Self role picker

You may choose any role that you have posted in the Grand Idea thread. If you haven't posted there, you are a Neutral Survivor.

This is to encourage people who intend on playing Grand Idea sometime to contribute here!

[Felissan]

1-Shot Bulletproof Werewolf

Town bad Doctor

Someone help me think of a better name

How about Bob?

[Felissan]

Werewolf Encryptor

zakk, you should go check out the OP.

[Felissan]

Town Captain Obvious

Each night, you may investigate a player to learn their name.

[Felissan]

Mafia Weeping Angel

You can nightkill anyone who didn't mention you once in the last day phase, to the mod's discretion.

[Felissan]

Archnemesis

You are the archnemesis of a random non-town player; your actual role will be a copy of theirs, and some other players from outside your archnemesis's faction will have their role modified for your factions to be perfectly symetrical. You both know you're each other's Archnemesis. Your win conditions are mutually exclusive.

This idea was definitely not inspired by the Linear Guild.

[Felissan]

Archnemesis

I'm currently modding a GIM game on another forum as a mish-mash-like game, and the setup is, well...

Spoiler: DO NOT OPEN IF YOU'RE IN THAT GAME

We've got a 3p role that makes the setup flipless and that makes everybody lose if he's not lynched by D5; since those guys aren't used to forum mafia, most of them declared they can't play properly wthout flips, and they pulled a D2 nolynch. I think the game is already over by this point.

[Felissan]

Mafia Goon

If the RPG player is in the game, does it mean anybody who was voted for at the end of the day immediately dies?

[Felissan]

Mafia Goon

Mafia voters roleblocker

While you're alive, you will automatically roleblock everyone who has a vote active at the end of the day, with the exception of factional abilities.

If this guy's voting at the end of a day, he causes a paradox.

[Felissan]

Vanilla Bean
You're a Neutral Survivor, but all the other roles in the game will treat you like a VT.

[Felissan]

Mafia Noon Vig

You can only shoot less than an hour away from a day's middle point.

[Felissan]

Werewolf

What would your role's wincon be?

[Felissan]

Serial Killer Dolphin

Kappy, you've officially won the most-difficult-to-read-role-in-this-thread award.

[Felissan]

Mafia Strongman

I could read the original one pretty easily by Ctrl-F-ing the Spectre's entire name, and reading the parts that weren't highlighted. Which is the exact opposite of what this function was made for. ^^

[Felissan]

Town Paranoid Tracker

You can investigate a player each night to learn who they targetted, if anybody. Modnote: always returns themself

[Felissan]

Mafia Pungeon Master

You have a post restriction that forces you to make a pun in each of your posts.

[Felissan]

Mafia Traitor CPR Doctor

[Felissan]

Mafia Sweeper

Your nightkill takes priority over any other action on the night it's performed. It can still be blocked by passive abilities or the consequences of former actions..

[Felissan]

Town John Cena

Any attempt at using an investigative ability on you will return a copy of this link instead of the normal result: Result

[Felissan]

Mafia John Cena

[Felissan]

[Felissan]

Town Prime Cop

Each night, you may investigate a player to learn whether their role was in a prime-numbered post.

[Felissan]

Mafia Seer

This game is a bit like the Pokémon TCG: it keeps getting extended and we're always speaking of the roles, but nobody actually plays it.

[Felissan]

Survivor Wobbuffet

Any time a night action is targetted at you, you use a replica of it twice on whoever used it.

[Felissan]

Chocolate Townie

Town Compulsive 1-Shot Self-refunding Doctor-Doctor

Each night, you must protect the Doctor from 1 killing shot this night.
This ability is refunded if no death was blocked by this ability, or if the target was untargetable and if you were roleblocked (does not refund if the target was rolestopped, or if you were redirected).

What if there's more than 1 other Doctor?

[Felissan]

Serial Killer Monk

Compulsive Firebreathing Serial Killer Jester

Kill flavor is fire, so a Firefighter can detect it. Wins if lynched or if endgamed.

Already done in 1538.

[Felissan]

Interactive Role

(alignment chosen by moderator)

If any roles belonging to other players have a specific interaction with another role or role property listed in their PM, you will be given a role or role property that fulfils the interaction. (For example, if there's a Gunsmith in the setup, you will be given a role that shows up positive to the Gunsmith; likewise, if another player has

flying

, you do too.)

(Note: the description above is for the moderator; tell the player their actual role, rather than the means via which it was generated.)

[Felissan]

Caesar Cipher

At any point in the game, you may change all players' roles to the one N posts after their original one, where N is a number of your choice.
If the game ends before you use your ability, you lose.
very bastard, much alignment-change, wow

[Felissan]

Town Reflexive Cop

Just out of curiosity: what happens if the Hydra slot gets rerolled into itself? 3-player hydra?

[Felissan]

Mafia Encrypter

I had another idea for a role, but it was probably violating the "no talking outside the game" rule.

Spoiler:

Town Stoofer

Your vote is on whoever the last vote tag used in the General Discussion subforum by someone else than you was targetting, even if it's not a player.

[Felissan]

Ikaruga Survivor

You can be of Town polarity or Scum polarity: you choose one in pregame, and you may change at night.
If you're of Town polarity, you're lynchproof and protected from any town actions, and you appear to be the Vanilla Townie from 1 to investigative roles, but all anti-town actions (even non-killing ones) instantly kill you.
If you're of Scum polarity, you're protected from anti-town actions, and you appear to be the Mafia Goon from 2 to investigative roles, but you're Hated and all town actions (even non-killing ones) instantly kill you.
You win if you survive to endgame.

[Felissan]

Alien Rick Astley

If any player uses an investigative action, they'll get the result they'd have got from you instead, with a link to this post in their result PM. This effect stops as soon as you die.

[Felissan]

Town Echoer

Something I love about this role is the way it can have fun consequences if it hits specific roles. Hit a player with Storm? They get infinite actions forever.

[Felissan]

Detention Neapolitan

[Felissan]

Infinite Dayvig Jester

Your vig shot doesn't end the day, and can be used more than once in a day.

[Felissan]

Town Seer

What happens to a spirited away CPR Doc, or any other role with an ambiguous action?

[Felissan]

Symetry Enforcer

Reroll, along with any role that contains in its name or description a scummer's name.

[Felissan]

Town Miller Oaf

You behave as a Mafia Oaf toward investigative roles

[Felissan]

Typokachu

You must make at least one typo or spelling mistake in each of your posts. If you succeed in doing so and survive to the end of the game without anyone guessing you're a Typokachu, you win.

[Felissan]

Town Astrologist

Each night, you may choose a player. They're restricted to claiming or crumbing their role on their first post the next day.

[Felissan]

Rainbow Townie

Roll a random town-aligned role. You have all the abilities/restrictions of this role as well as the next 6 town roles in the topic.

[Felissan]

Sliver Cop Sliver

(alignment up to mod's discretion)

All slivers can check whether a player is a sliver at night.

[Felissan]

Demi-God of Sliver

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
You are announced at the start of the game.
Instead of their usual action (if applicable), other players may pray to you by sending a PM to the mod declaring they wish to do so.
You may make one player amongst those who have prayed for you a sliver.

[Felissan]

Loyal Universal Backup Sliver

(alignment up to mod's discretion)

All slivers are loyal universal backups. If 2 or more slivers should replace the same player, only a random one of them does.

[Felissan]

Town Quantum CPR Doctor

You may target a player each night. If no other player interacts with either of you that night, you vig and heal your target. Otherwise, you behave like an usual CPR Doctor.

[Felissan]

Werewolf

The Quantum CPR Doc is a physics joke. If nobody interacts with him, he's in a superposition of a healing state and a vigging state, so he heals and vigs at once - those effectively cancel each other out, but it might interact with specifics of the target's role.

[Felissan]

Mafia Goon

Results Eavesdropper

(alignment chosen by moderator, defaulting to town)

Each night, choose a player. If that player receives a PM as a consequence of night actions that night (e.g. investigation results, Messenger messages, "you have been invited to a neighbourhood"), you will get a copy of it. (Note that this won't actually give you access to any private topics mentioned in the message; you'll know their URL, but it won't work unless you already have access to it via another means.)

If someone runs GIM off MS, they might have to reroll that one, since a QT's URL is all one needs to view it.

[Felissan]

Private Investigator Cult Leader

Recruit your target, then learn whether or not they were cult-aligned.

I don't care about cults being terrible, I just chuckled internally when thinking this one up. Go ahead and reroll if you really want to.
