That is such a freaking awesome role.
Srsly.
I think I may actually use that, and many other roles from this thread. I'm preparing a game for another forum called The Island of Stupid Roles.
On a related note, I came up with two totally awesome team ideas:
Underpowered, Disorganized Mafia
They're a larger than average team, because none of them know who their teammates are.
Angsty Emo Kids
A team of jesters. One has to be executed, one night killed, one day killed, and one killed in any manner. They have other powers, too: one is a role blocker can chuck The Nightmare Before Christmas DVDs at other players; the leader stabs people with safety pins.- xyzzy

Shakespeare (What a Tragedy!)
Unfortunately, your fate is not good.
Everything you write, be it a vote-
-Or something like a minor suspicion,
Must be written in the way of the good
Shakespeare: Iambic Pentameter! All
Things you type shall appear to readers in
Fourteen lines and a decasyllibic
Way! If you should fail to write like this, why
You shall surely perish in a grim way!
But don't worry, I will probably fail
To count your syllables carefully, so...
I guess it doesn't really matter, now?
But know this, if you post thrice every day
I will let you kill someone during night!
It's so fun making people do impossible tasks before they can be useful.- xyzzy

You areGod.
You can do anything: multiple votes, kill, doc, cop (you pick the sanity), etc. anytime you want, day or night, multiple times per day, you can PM anyone, anytime, you can't die, you've already won. Enjoy.- xyzzy

This is a role I'm using soon:
Bom in yor caek
OMG! There's a bomb in your cake! It'll blow up if you target a particular role, so watch out. But I'm feeling mean, so you don't get to find out what your role's effect is. You must send me a target every day. You win if you're among the townies to be last alive, or if 12 other townsfolk win.
It's in a role with a cult. If they're in the cult, they die. If they're not in the cult, nothing happens.- xyzzy

Actually, I had a similar role in a game:livingod wrote:Vig: if you target mafia, you die, if you target townies, you die, if you don't target anyone, you get modkilled. You are a survivor. have fun!!
Morals Ninja
Ninjas don't fight for honor and justice. They fight to whack people's heads off. But you like head-whackingandjustice. You can kill someone every night, but if you accidently kill a townie, you'll commit seppuku.- xyzzy

In a game in another forum, I'm doing a bunch of roles which no one there will completely understand: Fritzler, who thinks he can do anything but actually messes everything up, Glrok, who's imitating Fritzler and actually can do anything, Glork, who's trying to kill Glrok (who he believes to be a Glork impersonator), and a random Lyncher who's trying to kill Glork.
Of course, most of the players there have never even heard of Mafiascum, so they'll be so confused they'll Google all the names and end up here. Then we'll finally have them in our grasp.
And they'll lose every time. They're sheep, following around whatever woll in sheep's clothing who's the loudest. It'll be funny. I will laugh. But then they'll become better, and my entertainment will be over.- xyzzy

Town self-voter
You must always be voting for yourself. If at any time you change your vote, you will be modkilled.
Deja Vu(for a night-start game)
You may only vote for dead players. If people question your votes, you must pretend to have no idea what they're talking about.
Insane Mathematician
When you make a post whose number is a triangular number (of the form (n^2+n)/2), you must pretend to have an absolutely atrocious posting requirement and complain loudly about it. In all other posts you must pretend that you have no posting requirement.
Fingerless Guy
You may not FoS anyone.- xyzzy

Flavorless player
You will win if you never let on to the idea that you're playing a game - namely, that you never use any flavor like "cop", "scum", "townie", "nightkill", or anything that suggests that you are not part of a completely abstract strategy contest to determine who is best at lying or catching liars.- xyzzy

Eric Bauman
You are Eric Bauman, internet thief extraordinaire. Every night you have a choice of two actions: you can steal someone's role for the night and target someone with it, or you can kill one of those weaker, pathetic artists. (You hate them!) Unfortunately, everyone will be informed of who you targeted and what you targeted them with, because of that watermark you leave everywhere. You win when you are the only living player.- xyzzy

You areAbraham Lincoln.John Wilkes Booth was wrong: you didn't die. That was an imposter. It was all a setup. You're actually better known as Matthew Ryan, a rogue scientist/time traveler. In your original world, slavery was never abolished, and China now controls slave trade in the US. Twelve years ago they began development on a high-powered weapon that only destroys organic material. Eleven years ago, you boarded a space station controlled by Korea, who in an odd twist of fate is one of the few powerful nations to oppose slavery, and as a result one of the most peaceful places to live. After China began using their super-weapon, Korea quickly developed a special shield to protect the space station. As a result, ten years ago, Korea became the SS Shield, and Earth became China. In a world where the free are predominantly Asian, and one where rampant racism has never quieted, you spent the next two years carefully avoiding all people, while working with a small group of people who lived miles away from you. You eventually managed to get control of the technology that they had built: time travel. Your goal was to reverse the flow of time that led to the world being in the state it's in. You eventually became President in an altered time line. Altered is the key word, though: your old world is still out there, floating along. After you got here, you used your technology to increase your life span exponentially, and you've been carefully watching for signs that the Koreans have found you. They have, now. Some of their own are in your world; but you have one of their bodies, and you can send people back to them. You may send any player from this game to game N+1 every night. However, be warned: your mortal enemy, John Wilkes Booth, is also sending people to your world. Who they'll align with depends on who they were in game N+1, but their alignment might change. You win when the Mafia (the Koreans) in game N (this one) all die, or when John Wilkes Booth dies in game N+1.- xyzzy

I want this role.Dark Ermac wrote:You are theanimal. Every night you fall asleep and are unaffected by night kills. You win with the town.
Mod Note: Every night, the animal automatically kills a random person, stated the next day as being someone "mysterious". The townies all have a small statement at the end of their role PMs saying something about watching out for the animal, as well as a randomly chosen name. This randomly chosen name will be the person that dies "randomly", depending on the order of the players. In this case, whoever is player 1 will recieve a name of someone who will die on Night 1, and the last player on the list will have the name of the animal instead. If the animal's target of the night dies or is protected, he'll skip over them and target the next player. Despite this, he is in fact town, but can achieve an independent victory if he's the sole survivor.- xyzzy

You are theSuper Epic Awesome Guy!
You may pick any of the following powers at the beginning of the game: cop, doc, roleblocker, and tracker; you can pick one, or none, or any number of these powers. You will be able to use one power per night. You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.
Mod Note: Each of these powers is held by someone else in the town, and there are no other power roles. By picking one of these powers, that player will become part of an additional scum group where they will have that power, as well as a group kill.- xyzzy

Ooh, thought of a fantastic role shortly after entering that.
Preferably for use in something like Verbose, where posts must be of a certain length.
You aretalkative.You win if the game reaches 100 pages by the time the game ends or you are lynched. You can not be night killed.- xyzzy

You are theidiot.
In your first post you must claim full knowledge of the setup; you must then go on to list 3 power roles and the players who have them and 2 scum + 1 SK, or 3 scum. You win if none of your predictions are correct.
You are thegrammar nazi.
You lose if you make any grammatical errors.
You are theinternet.
You win if any post besides your own contains 20 or more non-quoted grammatical errors.- xyzzy

You area sneakers. Each lunchtime you can choose a Lipitor to instigate. If your choice is a cheeseburger you will dace with them. However, if it is pretty, you will copulate instead. You dance with the pants..- xyzzy

Your first post must be something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I need to be replaced,", and you'll be replaced by <username>, who will have joined the day before the game begins. You will continue playing with <username>, with the password <password>. You may not tell anyone about this. You win if you are lynched day one.- xyzzy

Actually, the following would be a very interesting combination of roles:gorckat wrote:On the same lines:
You are aMason-Traitor. You may not communicate with your mafia partners (XandY), but you win with them, even if you are dead. They do not know who you are. You may communicate at Night with your Mason Partner,Z.
You are aMason-Cop. You may communicate at night with your partner,A. You win with the town.
Mod note 1: Masons are siblings and if one dies, so will the other one.
Mod note 2: Masons are bombs exploding on any night action targeting them.
I imagine the traitor outing the cop at a key moment or in twilight to try and secure the win- next thing you know 3+ people blow up!
You are amason cop suicide bomber.You may privately communicate with [~~~~] at night. [~~~~] might be scum. [~~~~] doesn't know your role... or the fact that you may suicide bomb them at any time. You may not inspect your mason partner. You win with the town.

The role is much better if he wins alone - otherwise, most towns will be willing to quote him a bunch of times to share the win. Of course, if he wins alone and doesn't mention that part... ^.^- xyzzy
