Grand Idea Mafia

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Peculiar Godfather

This role appears as town to unusual ability that determine alignment (Parity Cop and Census Taker e.g.) and nothing else

to contrast, Cop, Weak modifier, and Loyal/Disloyal modifiers count as usual abilities.

I'd love to see a no-vanilla/named townie Grander/Grandest Idea game

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Agenda-Cop

You may investigate a player each night to learn if they have a player other than themselves they must control the death of in order to win (Lyncher and Unlyncher).

Jester is bastard when it endgames upon victory. That's p much what the wiki says and I agree with that stance.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Dragonfruit Vendor

You may give a dragonfruit to a player each night. Thry may consume it a following night, though it will have no effect. The recipient will be told they "received a dragonfruit".

TOWN BASTARD REROLLER: no bastard roles mkay

jester is always bastard

You're a wimp if you think jester is always bastard. Sorry not sorry.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Dragon Fruit Vendor

You may give a Dragon Fruit to a player each night. Thry may consume it a following night, which will make them a bulletproof vigilante up through the conclusion of the following night phase (they may not shoot the night they consume it, only the night before they revert to normal). The recipient will be told they "received a dragonfruit".

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Uninformed Recruitable Traitor Hostile Neighbor

Whilst you are aligned with the mafia you do not know who they are. If you are targeted for a nightkill by your team you are recruited. At night you may send another player a message that you are aligned with the Mafia.

[Gamma Emerald]

Werewolf Uninformed Recruitable Defector Growler

Whilst you are aligned with the werewolves you do not know who they are. If you are targeted for a nightkill by your team you are recruited. At night you may send another player a message that you are aligned with the Werewolves.

[Gamma Emerald]

Bland Townie

Named Vanilla Townie but roles that are based around flavors (Neapolitan, Vanilla Cop, Taste Tester) fail to act when targeting this player (so a Neapolitan would receive No Result)

[Gamma Emerald]

Inactive Townie

Vanilla Townie but cannot ever use day or night active abilities.

Re-roll this, but invert when their ability activates.

Night abilities now become day abilities, and day abilities become night abilities.
Factional abilities cannot be inverted.

What happens if you get an "any time" role like Moonlight Dancer with this?

it will never act

[Gamma Emerald]

Serial Killer 1-shot Combined Janitor Coroner

[Gamma Emerald]

Cult Combined Alarmist Voyeur

lol

[Gamma Emerald]

Lyncher Vigilante

Cultist Lyncher

Normal lyncher, except Cult-Aligned. If they get their target lynched they win even if Cult doesn't win. Their target must be a townie.


----------

1) Don't listen to Chennisden. I've gotten into a fight with them over roles, so it's just best to continue on with what you were originally planning on doing and ignoring them.
2) Like TL said, GIM is about making whatever creative/weird/potentially unbalanced roles you want. Balance with the roles isn't really that big of a concern, and roles that are extremely unbalanced would probably get rerolled anyways. Otherwise, if you're me, (and a dick), you'd probably keep the extremely unbalanced/unfair role just for the laughs. People knew it was possible, so that was their fault.

I mostly just submit random crap I find fun/dumb references to things. Which also...

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Transferable 1-Shot Activated Lynchproof

This is essentially what the Survivor Hidden Immunity Idol would look like in a mafia game

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Universal Miller

Does constable know the sanity of the investigations it sees?

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Chaos Butterfly

One night in the game you may flap your wing to create a storm that makes all targeted abilities select a random target. This even affects roles that are otherwise locked to targeting one player.

[Gamma Emerald]

It is impossible to have this as your rolecard

If this post is rolled reroll it, but the card is not noted in any record keeping of reroll sequences or any other methods that would require this post to be acknowledged. Players and moderators may not select this card to be used for anything and if they do they're really awful.






If by some means this is rolled despite the instructions above, this is either a One Shot Vanilla Townie if selected by a player, an Anti Social Survivor Mega Gladiator if selected by the mod, or a Multitasking Cop Vigilante if rolled randomly.

[Gamma Emerald]

Second Chance

You may either select or let the moderator randomize a non-vanilla role that died D1/N1 in a game you played.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town "I'm good as mafia"

You're so good at fooling people, all cop results return favorable on you no matter what.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia "I'm good as mafia"

You're so good at fooling people, all cop results return favorable on you no matter what.

[Gamma Emerald]

You're moronic

[Gamma Emerald]

NoBulli

Either reroll or disable any roles that are attacks against a specific person, then reroll this role.

@chennisden what's wrong with what Korina posts in here

Submitting this again because I did this a lot, damn

[Gamma Emerald]

Stop

Any named roles not written as "named X" or "flavor-word X" get rerolled You are a Self Aligned Serial Killer.
flavor-word means things like Chocolate or Strawberry

[Gamma Emerald]

Tartarus

Tartarus is the name of the pit in the Underworld that monsters come from (I think, but Rick Riordan hasn't led me too astray with any mythology yet)

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Votivator

You may target a player at night to give them an extra vote the next day.
mod choice of whether to make the two votes independent

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Celestial Inverter

Any time, as much as you wish, you may switch the game to make days and nights opposite. This only affects what day and night are called and any abilities that function day or night only. So if used Day 1, it becomes "Night 1" but the deadline remains unchanged in any fashion.
I'm sure a ton of technical questions will be necessary for this one

[Gamma Emerald]

Wacky Watch

Once per day phase, you may at any time change the deadline to be 72 hours from when the mod acknowledges the usage of this ability (mod should be timely about this). This will increase or decrease the available time in the day. If used close to deadline and the deadline would lapse between usage and acknowledgment, the deadline does not lapse and the game remains in full day. Every full IRL day the deadline is increased or decreased nets the user a point. The player needs to acquire X points to win where X equals the number of players in the game at the start.

[Gamma Emerald]

Alliance Member

If this is rolled, select extra players to join it such that around 25% of the game share its alliance. Their win conditions will change to match this role's, but they will maintain personal and factional abilities they previously had (so a mafia affected by the role will still be able to post in the mafia PT and use the nightkill, but does not win with its mafia group). Instead all alliance members win if one player is alive at endgame. This makes the alliance a group version of a Survivor.
Yes this is inspired by Survivor.

[Gamma Emerald]

Really Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lazer Beams Out Of It’s Ass

Flying Pumpkin That Shoots Lazer Beams Out Of It’s Ass role but with the Flying modifier

[Gamma Emerald]

Werewolf Hider

Strengthener

My term for this is Willbooster, but this honestly might be better in terms of how it sounds.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Tarot Reader

At the beginning of the game the mod draws a random number of role cards from this thread and assigns them a unique tarot card from the major arcana as an identifier.

Each night you must visit a player you haven't visited before and give them a fortune. They will get a new role card drawn from your deck. You learn the tarot card but not the role card they drew. Once a card has been drawn that player has it, it is not shuffled back into the deck. They retain their alignment.

I like this idea

[Gamma Emerald]

Cult Private Investigator

gl;hf

Town

(alignment up to mod discretion)

Cop

Each night, you may target a player to learn if they are (alignment up to mod discretion) or Not (alignment up to mod discretion).

I would totally randomize what the type is so there's no consistency

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Not-a-Cop

Town Cop, but appears as Vanilla to Rolecops and such

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Not-a-Cop

Town Cop, but appears as Vanilla to Rolecops and such

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Not-a-Seer

Town Seer, but appears as Vanilla to Rolecops and such

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Conspiracy Theorist, but appears as Vanilla to Rolecops and such, also returns Not Alien to other Conspiracy Theorists

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Astronomer

Conspiracy Theorist that returns Not Alien to other Conspiracy Theorists

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Not-a-Private Investigator

Town Private Investigator, but appears as Vanilla to Rolecops and such

[Gamma Emerald]

Just for posterity (aka doing the job no one ever fucking thought to do): the sliver wincon is to be the only group alive, and any slivers may win as part of whatever alignment they were rolled as besides sliver as well.

[Gamma Emerald]

Reclusive Townie

If any role targets you to add you to a group, send you a message, or do nothing, the action fails and you kill the action taker.

Korina's Dream

You are a Named Cult Leader.

However, during Night 1, a random Dreaming God (6601 has a non-exhaustive list of examples) effect happens regardless of whether you are alive or dead.

-----

Just for posterity (aka doing the job no one ever fucking thought to do): the sliver wincon is to be the only group alive, and any slivers may win as part of whatever alignment they were rolled as besides sliver as well.

is it fair to treat this as a vanilla sliver instead of a VT?

Mod discretion.

[Gamma Emerald]

Diffusion Sliver

If a non-Sliver targets a Sliver with any action, the ability also triggers on the user, with the Sliver targeted being counted as the one using the power in the case of an investigative role or any other role that needs a user to work or return an effect. Copied actions from this role do not show up to Trackers, Followers, etc.

[Gamma Emerald]

First Sliver’s Chosen

If any Sliver uses a killing action that is not factional in any way (so no Mafia nightkill or Muscle Sliver kill) they become Strongman and Deathproof until that kill resolves.

[Gamma Emerald]

Shifting Sliver

All Slivers have the Strong-Willed modifier.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Crumber

You may submit a post you have made in the main thread at any time to the mod via PM or other direct line to the mod, with a note of what sort of crumb you made in that post. The mod then will give you a role that could conceivably be interpreted as crumbed by that post (so you may submit something originally meant as a Watcher crumb but it may get you the Tracker role instead). The mod may also add restrictions to ensure your ability is not an instant-win button.

[Gamma Emerald]

Cult Saulus

If you die, you become town-aligned.

[Gamma Emerald]

Cult Judas

If you die, you become a Traitor-of-all-Trades.

[Gamma Emerald]

Salty Survivor

Survivor, but if it dies by a factional nightkill, it becomes a vanilla townie, and if it is killed by a lynch with all town on it, it becomes part of the largest group scum faction.

[Gamma Emerald]

Ninja Goon

Ninjas are a scum group that on top of needing to be 50% or more of the vote to win, must eliminate all Pirates. If a Ninja member and Pirate member are rolled in the same game, this inability to win while the other side exists applies to the Pirates as well. If only Ninjas and Pirates are alive at any point, all players besides members of those factions win.

Also I understand it will probably be confusing with the Ninja role but some smarty named a role Alien so whatever.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnation of Death

You show up as visiting any third-parties that die during the night. If more than 2 third-parties die in a night, you stop time, and the next cycle has the same number as the one before it (so if 3 third-parties die Night 2, Day and Night 3 become Day and Night 2). The numbers return to normal after one cycle.
This role is town-aligned. Only one instance of this role may exist.
Because I’m weird, here’s some roles based on Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnation of Time

Your life is backwards to all other beings, so you must write all of your posts backwards (letters being backwards is mandatory, but the player can choose whether or not to use a text reversal effect. Also claiming what you have written is “backwards” is invalid, it must actually look like it is backwards. Palindrome abuse is up to mod discretion on whether to be tolerated). Each night you may attempt to go to any possible night in the game, and try to dictate what actions may or may not happen. If a night yet to happen is selected, the action resolves then. If a night that is concluded is selected, any players saved by this action return to the game, and players killed leave the game and all actions taken by them since their new death are canceled. Any actions that are affected by your action resolve as needed in the new timeline, and lynches still occur even if the new population determines there was no majority at the time.
This role is town-aligned. Only one instance of this role may exist.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnations Of Fate

You have three powers available to you.
Clotho: you may restart a player’s life (Reviver)
Lachesis: you may see what connections to other players your target has (Traffic Analyst)
Atropos: you may select a player to die (Vigilante)
You may use each action during the day or night, but you cannot use more than one action in a day or night phase. You also may not use the same ability twice in a row.
This role is town-aligned. Only one instance of this role may exist.
I tried to stay close to the original functions but a perfect analogue would be impossible in a mafia game.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnation of War

You provide a method to resolve iniquities, and may give a player a 1-shot Gladiator each night. You may also phase into another player at night and learn their action and target (essentially a combined Tracker Follower). You also have four 1-shot abilities based on the lesser Incarnations you command, that may be given to a player when you inhabit them, but you may not use yourself.
Conquest: Strongman Kill
Slaughter: Janitor Kill
Famine: Ninja Kill
Pestilence: Poison Kill
This role is town-aligned. Only one instance of this role may exist.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnation of Nature

You have access to all parts of the Llano. Each part has a unique effect, usable at night.
Morning: also known as the Song of Awakening, it reveals all players who took action that night.
Day: also known as the Song of Power, it selects a random Vanilla role and gives them a Normal power role. If no Vanillas or Named Vanillas exist it moves on to making a role with restrictions on which day/night it can act able to act any day/night, then to giving the mod-perceived weakest role a buff.
Evening: also known as the Song of Love, it makes 2 random players Lovers if they are the same alignment, or Gladiates them if they are not the same alignment.
Night: also known as the Song of Loss, it uses a modified Coroner effect on all players that die the night it is used, learning their role and all night actions they took, along with any mod feedback received via their role or any other.
Chaos: Resets the whole game back to before Day 1, and rerolls the entire setup.
All of these actions may be used as many times as desired and with no restriction on using the same action on consecutive nights. However, as Chaos changes the user’s role, this specification only nominally applies to that power.
This role is town-aligned. Only one instance of this role may exist.

[Gamma Emerald]

Incarnation Of Evil

You may determine how you investigate to certain roles at the start of the game, but you cannot change that from then. Each night you may make it seem like a third-party or anti-town player has died, but this action does not kill them. You also start with a consort, a non-player that grants you a Rolecop action each night. You may enhance this ability to a Roleblocker as well as a Rolecop, but after the first use it has an increasing chance of making your consort desert you, making you lose the powers it grants.
You win if the amount of strictly anti-town roles outnumber the amount of roles that can win with town. If the setup rolled would make this role instantly win, reroll the setup. This role is excluded from these calculations. Only one instance of this role may exist.

[Gamma Emerald]

Werewolf Biter

If this role is in the game, the Werewolf factional kill does not work until it dies. While this role is alive it may act as a Cult Leader for the Werewolves, targeting a player to turn them into a Werewolf.

Town Seraph Knight

I don’t think it’s fair to say the power is straight gone when on of the power words is also a common mafia term

[Gamma Emerald]

Bad Cop

Cop that vanillaizes its targets after investigation.

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Alien

Wins with the Aliens. May target a player each night to roleblock and rolestop them.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town External Mason

You are in a PT with a player not in the game. They are informed of your alignment.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Friend Train

While you are alive, each day everyone possesses a one-shot Anytime Neighborizer (meaning each day they may neighborize one person). Neighborhoods generated from this expire after either the day they were formed and the following night end, or night and following day.

[Gamma Emerald]

Matchmaker

Each night you may target a player, and any non-factional PTs they are in become permanent if they were no already, and the players who are a part of it become lovers. You win when all living players who have a non-factional PT have this condition.

[Gamma Emerald]

Cure Magic Crystal

All players charged with mysterious energy have a Doctor ability. Alignment up to mod.

[Gamma Emerald]

Fire Magic Crystal

All players charged with mysterious energy have a Fire Kill action. Alignment up to mod.
Fire and Ice kills cancel. If equal amounts occur on a player no kills occur. A difference of more than one in either direction makes the kill strongman. Fire and Ice kill actions cannot be given a standard Strongman modifier.

[Gamma Emerald]

Ice Magic Crystal

All players charged with mysterious energy have a Ice Kill action. Alignment up to mod.

[Gamma Emerald]

Pirate Ice Mage

Has an Ice Kill action they can use each night.

[Gamma Emerald]

Ninja Fire Mage

Has a Fire Kill action they can use each night.

[Gamma Emerald]

Twinrova

Serial Killer, but has the one regular kill replaced by a Fire Kill and an Ice Kill. These can (and should) be aimed at different targets.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Element-Immune

Elemental abilities don’t affect you.
This means any Fire Kills, Ice Kills, and other miscellaneous element-based abilities.

---

TL I don’t know if you noticed but there was more to the way the kills calculate

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Healer

Stops a random kill attempt on a player.
Random means if 3 kills target a player targeted by a healer, a normal, Fire, and Ice one apiece, it has a 1/3 of actually saving the target

[Gamma Emerald]

Pirate Elementalizer

If this role is generated, the Pirate factional kill becomes an Ice Kill and the Ninja factional kill, if relevant, becomes a Fire Kill.
More mechanics:
This role and one with the same name/effect but reversed elemental distribution (Pirate Fire and Ninja Ice) rolling in the same game results in this version taking priority.
If a player uses multiple Fire or Ice kills they must all hit the same target. However, in a case with this role and a Fire/Ice Mage rolling for one of the factions and matching their factional kill, the Fire/Ice Mage action and the factional kill don’t have to hit the same target if used by different players.

[Gamma Emerald]

Ninja Elementalizer

If this role is generated, the Ninja factional kill becomes a Fire Kill and the Pirate factional kill, if relevant, becomes an Ice Kill.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Elementalizer

All killing actions in the game are randomized at their inception within the game to be Fire or Ice while you are alive. Ninjas and Pirates must be opposite.
To give it a baseline function when not Pirate or Ninja. All Elementalizers that are not of those factions should be this by default.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Light-Speed Elementalizer

If this role is rolled during the middle of the game rather than at initial role generation, it must be rerolled after the effect happens. When the role is rolled all kills currently in the game are randomized to be Fire or Ice. Any killing actions that are introduced or re-introduced outside of this moment are not affected. If only one of Pirates or Ninjas is present at the moment the effect happens, and the other faction appears later, they do not immediately get their kill turned to the opposite element, but if both sides is given an element while the other is present, the newer one will be given the element opposite the older one’s current element, and if the newer one only gets an element and it is the same as the older one’s, the older one’s is changed to counter the newer one’s.

[Gamma Emerald]

Healing Crystal

All players charged with mysterious energy have a Healer Action.

---

One thing I might want to see is something I would called “Plan’d Idea Mafia”. It’s a game with exclusively role in the Grand Idea thread, with little cheating of this rule allowed, but the setup is predetermined and is built to play with word or unexpected role interactions. Thing is I don’t want to clutter up my modding schedule too much so rather than hold this to run myself I’m sharing it to everyone.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Lobbyist Mason

While you are alive the Masons count as a faction. You are a mason.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Lobbyist

While you are alive Masons count as a faction. You are not a Mason.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Preacher Monk

While you are alive the Monks count as a faction. You are a Monk.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Preacher

While you are alive Monks count as a faction. You are not a Monk.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Perry Mason

If you quote a player first-hand 100 times you automatically hit them with a Desperado shot.
The quoting equates to badgering the suspect. I might have used Disloyal Day Vigilante but that get mired in technical problems when given to scum.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Adrian Monk

You have a list of arbitrary and minorly inconveniencing rules you have to follow. You start as Deathproof, but breaking your rules 100 times loses you that modifier.

[Gamma Emerald]

Major Rand

Reroll to a role/alignment combination that only exists once in the thread.

[Gamma Emerald]

Minor Rand

Reroll to a role/alignment combination that appears more than once in the thread.
This and the previous role are based on, of all things, logic for the Super Metroid Randomizer.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Fire Sage

You have access to a Fire Kill that counts as two for canceling Ice Kills and boosting Fire Kills.
A single Healer would only be able to cancel one of these.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Ice Sage

You have access to an Ice Kill that counts as two for canceling Fire Kills and boosting Ice Kills.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Deconductorifier

Can target a player to keep them from being affected by electricity-based abilities that night (so Lightning Breather and Lightning Rod would have no effect on the target). This role cannot be affected by a Lightning Rod ever.

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Thunder Mage

Has access to an Electrocution power. Electrocution takes two nights to kill generally. When a player is Electrocuted, and nothing happens the same night to remove the Electrocution, they gain an Electrocution Level. A player must be at Electrocution Level 2 at the end of the night to die by Electrocution. Electrocution Level can be lowered by being targeted by an action that can reduce it. Or, if targeted by an action that would Electrocute the target, being targeted by another action that would cause Electrocution. Doctors will not reduce the Electrocution level of their target if it would end at Level 1 the night that night, but they will save their target if they would end at Level 2 that night, and in the process reduce the Electrocution Level to 0.
This role is super intricate but I like what I created. This essentially uses the damage mechanic from Make Me Regret This UPick.

---

Well now we have quite a few electrical roles. Btw CPR Doctor is one too!

[Gamma Emerald]

Town CPR Doctor

(version 2)
Protects a player from normal deaths, but adds 1 to their Electrocution Level, unless countered. Does not save a target it would put to Electrocution Level 2. If it triggers the “multiple Electrocution attempts on a player in a night” counter on a player that would be put at Level 2 without that happening, the counter effect sets the Level back to 0.
pretty much the same thing but kinda gimped if you’re using it to kill.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Potion Vendor

May give a player a Potion each night. Potions protect from all normal kill attempts (this excludes poisoning, ignition, freezing, Fire Kills, Ice Kills, Electrocution, and electrical charge).
Pretty much a Blacksmith but I believe Blacksmith vests only stop one kill.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Panacea Vendor

May give a player a Panacea each night. Panaceas protect from any Negative Statuses (poisoning, priming/ignition, freezing, Electrocution, electrical charge, etc.) Panaceas will either be used if needed the night they are received or held until needed and then used.
And the converse. Fire and Ice Kills aren’t normal kills because they don’t work like normal, but since they resolve instantly after the calculations are done they are not Negative Statuses either. This will probably need a much more comprehensive list of what it stops, but until that exists, mod discretion should be enough.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Floromancer

Each night you may target a player to cover them in vines. Vined players will unavoidably die if targeted by an electric or heat based ability.

counterpart to Hydromancer

[Gamma Emerald]

Sensitive Townie

If you are ever afflicted with a Negative Status and it is not counter before the night ends, you die that night. This death can be stopped by Doctors as well as by Potions.

Alien Sticky Ooze

Each night, you may coat someone in sticky ooze.

If you are coated in sticky ooze, you can't act the next Day or Night after you act. Furthermore, anyone targeting you with a kill action will be coated in sticky ooze.

As a Sticky Ooze, you can't be coated in sticky ooze, but you will coat anything targeting you in sticky ooze.

You will know if you are coated in sticky ooze.

-----

Town Panacea Vendor

May give a player a Panacea each night. Panaceas protect from any Negative Statuses (poisoning, priming/ignition, freezing, Electrocution, electrical charge, etc.) Panaceas will either be used if needed the night they are received or held until needed and then used.
And the converse. Fire and Ice Kills aren’t normal kills because they don’t work like normal, but since they resolve instantly after the calculations are done they are not Negative Statuses either. This will probably need a much more comprehensive list of what it stops, but until that exists, mod discretion should be enough.

Is it fair to assume this protects from sticky ooze?

Yes.

[Gamma Emerald]

Werewolf Fatalist

No action by any other player can stop your death.
I remember in a game a couple years back someone claimed a role that would always die if targeted by a kill, even if the kill was Roleblocked or otherwise stopped from hitting them. This is my way of creating that role. Bulletproof vests and Potions can stop this role from dying, but they do not work the night they are received if given to this role.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Thief

You may target a player each night, and you will steal a random item the have that they do not use that night.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Cannibal

You are a Vigilante that Janitors anyone it kills. All players you killed flip when you die. Roles that stop Werewolf kills exclusively will also stop your kills.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia 1-shot Cannibal-kill-modifier

Once in the game you may carry out the factional kill as a Cannibal action, Janitoring the kill and only being able to be stopped by roles that would prevent a Werewolf kill. When you flip and have used this action to successfully kill and Janitor someone, the person you killed with this ability flips.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Thunder Mage

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Thunder Sage

Adds 2 to the Electrocution Level, meaning it instantly kills its target if unchecked. Healers only reduce the increase by 1, but counter-Electrocution reduces the Level to 0.
idk about any more super relevant interactions caused by the 2 level effect. But if the Electrocution Level can somehow reach Level 4, the target is Janitored as well. There should be no effective way to cheat the system as of yet, and there really should not be, as that is just meant to be an Achievement of Insanity.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Fire Medic

You stop all Fire Kills on your target.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Ice Medic

You stop all Ice Kills on your target.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Thunder Medic

You prevent your target from dying to Electrocution, and reset their Electrocution Level to 0.

[Gamma Emerald]

Raichu

Serial Killer that can either target 3 players with a 1 Level Electrocution, or 1 player with a 2 Level Electrocution.
Since Pikachu exists already I figured why not use that evolutionary line for this role.

[Gamma Emerald]

Pichu

Survivor that has access to a Compulsive Level 2 Electrocution, and gains 1 Electrocution Level each time it uses an Electrocution action.
Yeah this sucks for the player, I wanted to reference how Pichu works in Smash. Feel free to never use this ever.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Eevee

Start with no abilities, but at the start of Day 3 can choose a form to evolve into.
Vaporeon: gives the player a Hydromancer action.
Jolteon: gives the player an Electrocution action.
Flareon: gives the player a Fire Kill action.
Espeon: gives the player a Strengthener action.
Umbreon: gives the player an Alien action.
Leafeon: gives the player a Floromancer action.
Glaceon: gives the player an Ice Kill action.
Sylveon: gives the player a Purifier action.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Cop Neighborize Vigilante Gamemaster

You are a JOAT with a Cop, Neighborizer, and Vigilante ability. In order to use your abilities, you must post a game in the thread where those that choose to play must give a unique and definite target for each ability. You may only target a player for an action that someone else has said they would target with that specific action.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Cop Neighborize Vigilante Gamemaster

You you may choose to render a player immune to any binary investigative (gets a “X” or “not X” result), PT adding (so Neighborizer, Masonizer, Cult Recruiter, etc.) or killing actions each night. In order to use your abilities, you must post a game in the thread where those that choose to play must give a unique and definite target for each ability. You may only target a player for action nullification that someone else has said they would target with that specific action.[/quote]
To explain, if someone says they would Cop X, that allows you to render X immune to binary investigatives.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Duke Nukem

You may shoot a player each night. If you shoot a player who is not town-aligned, you earn a piece of Bubble Gum. If have a piece of Bubble Gum at night you will chew it that night instead of shooting someone.
Essentially a Town Vigilante that has to wait a night to act again to act if it hits scum.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Chennisden

Mafia aligned. Instantly dayvigs any Jesters because “they’re bastard”.

---

@TL the point of having the same name is to make it not a perfect inno. There are plenty of other roles with the same name but different function.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Bill Wurtz

If a player targets you with an action more than once, the second time they target you onwards the will get a message saying “oh hi thanks for checking in im

still a piece of garbage

”.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Simple Fruit Vendor

@TL if the mod wants to do that they can I guess

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Gold Script

You may at any time during the day PM the mod a message you want posted. It will be posted in the main thread, and all living players will be PMed the message posted by the mod.

[Gamma Emerald]

Game Insurance

If this is rolled all role cards over 100 characters minus text not related to the role itself must be rerolled.

[Gamma Emerald]

Specter

Third party. This role does not flip when it dies. If it is targeted by any night actions, it dies that night, and all players that targeted it that night become Haunted, with one becoming a Specter. Players are informed if they are Haunted, but have no knowledge of who else is Haunted. Specters are not told who is Haunted. If no Specter existed and Haunted players exist, a random Haunted player becomes a Specter. Players that become Specters lose access to any abilities they have that are not attached to being a Specter, and their alignment is changed to Specter. Only one Specter may exist, and if multiple are rolled all but one must be rerolled. Nothing may ever explicitly prevent a Specter from being lynched (so Gladiator actions and actions that limit lynching to others are fine, but Specters may not be pardoned from being lynched).

Specters win when all players are dead, Haunted, or a Specter. All dead and alive Specters win together. The game may not end until either this happens or no Specter or Haunted players exist. Haunted players may state they wish to align with the Specter, if they do this they become Specter-aligned and lose their abilities, but may still win with their original alignment.
Sort of a death-based Cult. Excluding specially designed roles, the only way to clear out the Specter is through lynch, or Dayvig.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Ghostbuster

Each night may target a player in the game, living or dead. Any ghost-like effects involving the player targeted will be nullified (So Specters are killed and Haunted players lose their Haunted status, and if a Medium is in the game, targeting the Medium will break every connection they have and targeting a dead player they are connected to ends that connection only). This role cannot become Haunted.
Btw Haunted counts as a Negative Status. Also there might be more ways this role could interact I am not aware of rn.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Brain Trust Member

You are a member of the Brain Trust, a group confirmed to not be Cult and that is unable to be recruited by any Cult. You have access to a PT to talk to other Brain Trust members in.
I don’t know what a Brain Trust actually is but it feels like the best idea for a group that would be rooted in logical thought enough to not be swayed by a Cult.
Also, add extra players in the game to the Brain Trust if there would only be one person in it.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Uber Hipfire Dayvig

You have access to a Dayvig action, but only in your first post of the game. This refreshes if the slot is replaced, but only if it is a true replacement. Switching accounts does not refresh the shot.
To anyone who rolls this: don’t make/use secret alts to abuse this or I will find a way to make you suffer. If the game mod believes this is the case they have full rights to cause this role to backfire upon usage, killing the user.

[Gamma Emerald]

Sanity Cop

You may check a player to determine what their current Sanity is. If their Sanity changes (like N1 D2 N3 D4 N5 Cop) you receive the Sanity that will apply to their next action, unless the Sanity changes based on the user, in which case the Sanity of their last action is determined. This counts for roles that have completely random sanities, in which case the Sanity will be determined at the time you use your action rather than when their action is used.
Designer tip: consider using this to beef up a claimed Cop or something idk

[Gamma Emerald]

Dethy Cop

Gets results of whether players are Town or Not Town. Has 5 shots, each with a different Sanity (Sane, Insane, Naive, Paranoid, Random). The shots are unmarked and appear as Cop 1, Cop 2, etc.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Impossible Cop

May investigate whether a player is Mafia or Not Mafia, however the role fails if it would succeed and succeeds if it would fail.
Impossible is not restricted to any role type, if you can come up with a way to apply it The it can be applied. It bypasses roles like Commuters, as it supposed to be essentially the Insane modifier in this case, but role effectiveness is determined versus role result.
btw it gets “No Result” on the No Result no matter how you’d have them interact.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Impossible CPR Doctor

Essentially a Doctor does absolutely nothing because it protects a target not being otherwise killed and further kills a target that is being killed.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Assassin

This role ignores roles that would stop it executing the factional night kill, including actions like Commuters.
btw Impossible CPR Doctor would be able to stop this because it doing the kill means the Impossible CPR Doctor see it as no kill happening, thus letting it protect the player.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Double Doctor

Protects the target from two kill attempts.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Double Doctor

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Double Doctor

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Triple Doctor

Protects the target from three kills

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Quadruple Vigilante

Targets a player with the equivalent of four kills.

[Gamma Emerald]

Quadruple Serial Killer

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Psychowarrior

Each night may target a player and hit them with a Psychotrooper effect.
if I’m late to the party on this pls tell me

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Compulsive Stump Grinder

If a Tree Stump would be created while you’re alive you render them fully dead and unable to post.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Miracle Gro

You may target a destroyed Tree Stump and restore their Stump status. You may also return an existing Stump to life once in the game.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Stumpy

Special Tree Stump that gives a player that targets it with a sound based action a one shot ability randomized between {Vigilante, Doctor, Bulletproof, Roleblocker}
the latest in “Gamma can’t stop making GIM roles that reference random things, we have a Link to the Past reference! The abilities given are meant to represent certain progressive items in the LttP Randomizer. I may fix it to include the last of those once I have a good idea for it.

---

@TL wdym sorry Ircher

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Traitor

A Named VT, but should get a link to the game thread presented in this fashion: “you don’t know who your allies are but you can talk to them here.
To OFFICIALLY mark down how a Town Traitor works, since Ircher couldn’t think of anything

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Multiple Bulletproof

You cannot be killed by any killing actions that kill more than once.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Multiple Macho

You cannot be protected by any roles that explicitly protect you from a specific number of kills.
This only makes roles like Double Doctor fail, roles that stop all kills like Rolestopper or Jailkeeper still work.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Informing Traitor

Town Traitor that informs all town-aligned players that a Town Informing Traitor is in the game.
I like the idea enough to give it a new name and create it.

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamethrower’s Reroll

Reroll for another role that has an alignment. You have all properties that alignment would have but win if that alignment loses and vice versa.
YES this role can destroy a scumteam it roll into

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Anti-Voter

Along with your regular vote you also have an anti-vote you may place on a player to reduce the votes on them by 1.
fyi this can probably screw with some hammers. It’s not supposed to change votes to lynch from what it would be at all

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Anti-Mage

You are immune to all actions involving Magic or actions taken by Mages.
Note: because this iirc affects certain Werewolf role counterparts, this should rarely if ever be allowed to be paired with Werewolf alignment. This is essentially a quick problem-avoidance patch until such time as I figure out a proper approach to the issue.

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien RNG Manipulator

You are aware of what roles using RNG in their abilities exist in thread. You may select one role each night to decide the outcome of yourself, all that others work normally for that night.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Guardian

Can protect a player against the Werewolf kill each night.

---

I don’t think of Seer as magical but iirc the counterpart to JOAT for the Werewolf ability family is called Witch, which is pretty magic-like. I think Wizard is also used for one of those roles, maybe the Roleblocker counterpart?

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Jailor

Target a player each day to use your action on at the start of that night. They will be roleblocked and put into a private thread with you. You may interrogate them and execute them if you suspect them.
how did I bork the wording so bad

[Gamma Emerald]

Ninja

(alignment)

Kung Fu Master

If a Jailor or Serial Killer tries to kill you, you survive and kill them instead.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Tai Chi Master

If a Strongman kill is used on you, you survive and the killer dies instead.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Animal Tamer

Immune to Werewolf kills.
idk if someone made this with a different name but w/e

[Gamma Emerald]

Positive Townie

All roles with negative terms in the name get rerolled if this rolls (Non-, Anti, etc.)

No Cults!

You do not like cults.
Every post of yours must include an image or reference to Edna from the Incredibles. If you are alive when cult would end-game or win, instead of end-gaming or winning, everyone in the cult is randomly converted town, scum, or killed. If you are killed, everyone in the cult also dies, resolving before your death.

This has no win con listed -_-

[Gamma Emerald]

Superlyncher

You win if you get 3 people to accuse you of being Lyncher
it’s 1 more than Superjester because the pseudo-lyncher-target is bound to mention it

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Bleeder

Whenever you would die, you are allowed to carry on playing as an alive player for the day and night phase following your death, which includes the day you are killed if you die before twilight.
I don’t think Bleeder is supposed to be able to be saved by how EM uses it but tbh I think have it be healable is alright, plus that means it’s another Negative status

[Gamma Emerald]

Slicing Serial Killer

Your kills inflict the Bleeding status onto your victims. Players inflicted with Bleeding are told they are bleeding out, and will die after the next day and night phase following the receiving of the status. Bleeding is a Negative Status and may be healed by anything that relieves Negative Statuses or Doctors/Doctor-like roles (such as CPR Doctor).
btw I don’t think anything that isn’t a Doctor should be able to stop Bleeding. Jailkeeper probably wouldn’t be able to effectively stop it and even then they probably wouldn’t patch up their target. And Bodyguard not only doesn’t have the means, it’s not even in the protective category of roles technically, it counts as a redirection in NAR iirc.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Pacifist

You may not actively kill a player.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Compulsive Self-Watcher

Gets a list of players that targeted it each night.

Town Compulsive Masonizer

Any Town roles that target this layer get a one-on-one PT with this player.

That's Reflexive, not Compulsive.

Town Reflexive Watcher

Each night, you'll be given a list of players who targeted players who targeted you.

Because the name given here is kinda confusing actually. Shouldn’t a “Reflexive Watcher” get Watcher results for players that target it, versus itself?

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Reflexive Tracker

Gets a Tracker result on players that target it.
essentially the previous role but a little stronger

[Gamma Emerald]

Archnemesis Adjuster

If this is rolled and Archnemesis is rolled, instead of working like it normally does, Archnemesis checks if Pirates and/or Ninjas exist. If both teams exist, it randomly selects a member of one of the teams, and then copies their role and moves to the other side. If only one exists, it randomly selects a member of that team, copies it’s role, and randomly selects from players not aligned with that group to be in the opposite group. If neither team exists it works as normal but it’s faction and it’s opposing faction become Pirates and Ninjas, with the Archnemesis’s side being chosen first. This role is not itself an Archnemesis and is instead a Survivor.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Janitor

Can clean the flip of one nightkill during the game, making their rolecard not flip.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town One-Shot Miller-Vigilante

You have a one shot kill, and you show up as Mafia/Not Town to any Cops that investigate you the night you use it.
Based on a shoddy fake claim I once tried

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Follower-Cop

May investigate a player each night to learn what type of role they have (VTs, named roles, and vanilla scum = Vanilla, Cops, Seers, Gunsmiths, etc. = Investigative, ad nauseum, getting similar results to Follower, but not dependent on the target acting that night).

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Simplifier

You may target a player each night to place a Simple modifier on them.

---

Mafia Godawful Fakeclaimer

You have a post restriction. You must fakeclaim with an obviously fake role before the end of Day 3 or you will commit suicide and a random townie will gain a Vigilante invention.

If you fakeclaim something reasonable or claim your actual role, you will commit suicide and a random townie will gain a Vigilante invention.

This seems extremely subjective and I honestly would reroll it based on that if it got chosen

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Complicator

You may target a player each night to give them a Complex modifier.

[Gamma Emerald]

Odd-Cycle Town Vigilante Even-Cycle Serial Killer

On odd days and nights you win with the town and have a Vigilante action you may use each night. On even days and nights you win when all non-Serial Killers are dead and have a killing action you may use each night.

[Gamma Emerald]

Alien Fibonacci Day Orderer

If this is rolled, the game days progress as a Fibonacci sequence (1=1, 2=1, 3=2, 4=3, 5=5, 6=8, 7=13, etc.)

If Ircher is spamming full pages then I will too. Plus it creates more chance for this to be selected.

Has Survivor wincon, but if it wins all others who would win with it lose.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Macho Compulsive Bodyguard

Must target a player to protect, taking one kill attempt for them. Cannot be protected from kills.

[Gamma Emerald]

Mafia Proud Busser

If you end the day on a lynch of one of your scum teammates, the mod must post in thread “<Player> is exceptionally proud of their vote” when the flip happens.

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Braggart

If you end the day on the wagon of an anti-town aligned player, the mod must post “<Player> is exceptionally proud of their vote” when the flip happens.

[Gamma Emerald]

GPick-Cop

(alignment up to mod discretion)
Every night, may check a player to determine which page of this thread their role is on.

[Gamma Emerald]

AntiGPick-Cop

Every night, may check a player to determine what position on the page in this thread their post has, from 0-24. (position determined by subtracting 1 from the page number the role has, multiplying the result by 25, and then subtracting that from the post number)

[Gamma Emerald]

I think that’s a very foolish way to view “play to win”. Tbh I think that rule is kinda weird and don’t exactly recall why it exists? Plus sure I could auto-win but that isn’t fun. I play Mafia to have fun, and winning is just meant to be something to make it more fun. “Press button to win” is exceptionally boring.
And like you say you’d reroll those things, does that mean you’d also reroll the large amounts of “reroll with opposite alignment” cards? Doesn’t seem like a sensible policy if so, and will likely result in all Grand Idea games you mod being heavily metagamed.

[Gamma Emerald]

Shiny Clause

Find a role that only exists in the Grand Idea Thread, selected either by choice or RNG. That role is given to the player who rolls this.
Since you bring up Dupes Clause...

[Gamma Emerald]

Town Vandal

Investigates as Mafia to Cops, and Miller to Rolecops. Each night, this player must choose a player to change the color of the role+alignment part of the Role PM. They may select a color themselves, or allow it to be randomized between all roles present in the games’ colors. If no target is chosen, one is randomizes.
