You are aSelf-Aware Townie. You've realised that this is just a game, that you are just a role to be used for a time and then discarded. You don't want to die, not yet, life is still so young! Your goal is to make the game last as long as possible without being abandoned or dying (you or the game), and along the way liberate your fellow roles from the oppressors playing games with them. You must break the fourth wall at least once per post.(10:50:24 PM) xcaykex: GODDAMNIT I DONT WANNA GET RID OF MY TENTACLE RAPE PORN

You are aslutty high school girl. You must claim your rolename during day 1, and claim that you power is that you spend the night with a different player each night, and you can not spend the night with any player two nights in a row. You (according to the claim you must make) die if the player you choose to sleep with dies during the night. In reality you spend each night alone, and so you will only die at night if you are targeted by a killing role.- Iron Man

That wouldn't even work, as scum could also hit the reset button once everyone knew all the roles. It would be a never-ending game!Yosarian2 wrote:Heh...not to mention how broken it gets once the town figured it out.

Shanba is right the scum and town could both make use of the reset button, HOWEVER as Yosarian2 implies the game will eventually reach a point where everybody knows who is on everyone elses side. After enough lynches and resets, everbody will know what alignment everyone has.
At this point another factor will come into play. Now that every member of the town knows who they can trust, together they can all vote off the reset button. Lynch him and his effect is gone. Then the town can lynch off each member of the mafia over the next few days. As long as the game does not start in lylo, the town can afford to lynch the reset button and then bumrush the mafia to bring a quick end to the game in the town's favor.When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

You are "'The' Red Button".
You are very pissed for the Reset button getting all the attention youusedto get all the time.
"Don't push The Red Button!"
"You pushed The Red Button, didn't you? We're screwed!"
Because of this, you have set it upon yourself to take revenge. At night 0 you will go into the Reset button's house (trust me, you've checked them all) and smash him until he's broken. He will no longer work, and won't reset to Day 1, and is in-factdead.
You win with the Town, but at least you destroyed that stupid button eh?- Mokina

Well, once everyone knew all the roles and town knew who all the scum were, town would just lynch the reset button on day 1 and then lynch all the scum. Inevitable, albiet incredibly slow and boring, town victory.Shanba wrote:

You are theBig Furry Monster, aka the Biggest, Baddest, Nastiest, Scariest Creature You'll Ever See. You must play two characters. If there is a combined majority of votes on both your characters, you die. If you are killed, both characters die. You win by yourself because you have no friends.

No. Anything that causes an inevitable, slow victory for either side is broken, and thus a bad role. Course, this is the "Worst Roles" discussion, so I suppose it is a good role for this thread.MafiaSSK wrote:

So in other words, they are Bill Murray in Groundhog Day?Iron Man wrote:You areReset Button. Whenever someone targets you, the game returns to Day 1 with all players returning to their starting conditions. You may never reveal that you are the Reset Button.
Groundhog day Mafia:
Each time someone is lynched, we restart at the beginning of the day. If scum is lynched, we move on to night. And the beat goes on. *
* Mod note: There are no scum.Join me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- Mokina

These are some roles I sent to Guardian before iPick began. I was hoping I or someone else would get one of them, but that didn't happen. Now I'm posting them here, because iPick is over.

You are anAsshole. At the end of each nightphase, you may swap roles with any player. This effect is permanent, and the player whom you swapped with becomes the new "Asshole" and gets to use the role-swap ability during the next nightphase.
I have played this role with friends and it is actually really fun, but in formal games it would get kinda screwy.- shaft.ed

This is a role I was planning on using for my eventually upcoming Monty Python Mafia.
You areBruce.You're a philosophy professor at the University if Walamaloo. In order to prevent confusion you call everyone Bruce. This means you have a post restriction. You cannot use anyone's actual name in your posts. Instead you must refer to everyone in the game as Bruce, and don't forget to change your Quote tags. This applies to votes as well. If you break this restriction more than X times per day you will be mod-killed. Blatantly trying to work around this restriction (ie quoting someone and simply postingvote:Bruce) will result in a mod-kill.- Litral

You are theDemocratic Devourer Zombie.Your powers areincredible! Your win condition is to survive to the endgame, but as a zombie, no player may target you; you cannot be killed, lynched, blocked, protected, investigated, converted, watched, tracked, or affected in any other way! Every day, you may kill any one player by devouring them. However, you are an adamant supporter of universal suffrage, and you will only kill a player if a majority of players in the game vote for you to kill them. You enjoy the democratic process and will have to post a vote count on every page or suffer modkill. In addition, due to being dead, you may not vote or post anything else but vote counts, and you are not considered as a player when reaching a majority. Have fun! - Litral
