Self-Visiting Fruit Vendor


Each night, you may visit yourself and bring fruit to your own house.
Would a tracker track them to the supermarket?
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

You are
Not_Mafia
.

You win if you are alive at the end of the game.

Whenever there is a player at L-1 whom you are not voting, you must vote them in your next post or be modkilled. If anyone else in the game casts a hammer vote, you will likewise be modkilled.

You are the
Hot Potato.


You lose when the game ends.

Each night, you may target a player. You and that player will switch roles.

That's the sort of role that claims D1 and asks to be lynched.

The Secret Horror


Sees itself as Vanilla Townie.
Has the true secret win condition to survive until all other people - except those with the exact same win condition - are eliminated. That definition includes Survivors.
Has the secret power to automatically strongman kill the other person when only they and someone else are alive.
Has the secret power to keep its true secret win condition when converted(but it will see itself as the normal convert and will then flip as the normal convert)
Has the secret power to prevent the end of the game while alive until its win condition is fulfilled.
Has the secret power to be unaffected from death except from lynches and factional kills, that includes immunity to any deadly effects that trigger when the end of the game is prevented.
Will be handled as Vanilla Townie by all investigative actions that are not factional.

They flip as Vanilla Townie, and will only be informed of their true win condition when the game ends.

You are a
Compulsive Rolevig
.

Each night phase, you may attempt to kill another player. You must also say the name of a whitelisted Normal Role. If your action targets non-Vanilla, that player is killed and flips as the role you specified.

If your action targets Vanilla, your action fails and you are modkilled and turned into a Neutral Survivor.

You must target someone each night. If you fail to target someone, your target is randomized. If you fail to specify a whitelisted Normal Role, your target flips as a Jack-of-all-trades.

If you die or are modkilled, you flip as a Compulsive Rolevig and the dead list updates to show the true roles of everyone who's died from you.

Loyal Vigilante is an actually useful role. (You aim for players you think are overwhelmingly likely to be lynched the next day, if there is one; if your kill fails you'll know they're scum and can lynch them, if it goes through then you denied scum the chance to make a kill that they normally get after a mislynch and otherwise ended up in the same place.)

I guess a
scum
Loyal Vigilante would be pretty terrible, though.

I was reading through my past games and this is an actual role I used in a game I ran

Image
Welcome, Klick! You are
Ice Climbers

(Alignment-variable tag-team tracker survivors)


You may only use one ability per phase.

Day abilities:
none

Night abilities:
Ice Shot
: each night, you may use your ice shot to track another player, and see who they visit. (Both ice climbers have this power, but they must both target the same player)

Passives:
Tag-Team
: This passive cannot be deactivated:
- You control the two ice climbers, Nana and Popo. Popo uses your main account, while Nana is an anonymous alt. username: Nana (password: -removed-).
- Nana is considered, for all purposes, another player.
- Your win condition changes depending on which and how many ice climbers are still alive:
- If both ice climbers are still alive, you are town-aligned
- If Nana dies, and Popo is still alive, Popo joins the mafia. The mafia will be informed that a traitor has joined them.
- If Popo dies and Nana is still alive, Nana becomes a neutral survivor.
- If both ice climbers are dead, you cannot win. If one ice climber is dead, you cannot win with the dead ice climber's win condition.
- Nana is immune to alignment changes not caused by this effect. If Popo's alignment changes and it was not caused by this effect, Nana will die.
