Worst role ideas?

[gorckat]

Pessimist should be -1 to lynch period. And always starts the day self-voting

[Korts]

I remember reading one of the Post Restriction Mafias, with an optimist guy (has to say something along the lines of "everything's going great/we're gonna win/etc." in every post, but in context) and a pessimist guy (has to make a comment every post along the lines of "I don't wanna die/this is going so bad/we're gonna be killed/etc." in every post, in context). It was a pretty awesome PR to read. God bless GreenLiquid.

[The Fonz]

Oh yes. That was the game where DGB faked a post restriction consisting entirely of emoticons, no?

[Korts]

I think that was a different game in the series. There was more than one PR Mafia.

[Mokina]

You are a

Mood Swing Cop

. You begin the game with GreenLiquid's Pessimist post restriction. If you find a guilty result during the night, you become a GL Optimist. If you come back empty-handed, you become a Pessimist again. You win with the town.

You are a

Coder

. You must post entirely in Morse Code. If you are targeted for a Night Kill on any night you will be informed, an can send an S.O.S. to any player in the game to try to get help. In addition to their slected target, they will also target you and perform whatever action their role indicate.

... and the vigilante swoops in to help through the kitchen window, and empties his revolver into the Coder's chest, hoping to revive him.

[Booker]

You mean like the doctor who can heal every variety of murder to such an extent that there are no visible signs it happened, and doesn't remember if they did so or not? Nor does the victim?

I find it's better to play fast-and-loose with the flavour...

[Lord Gurgi]

You are a

Suicidal gunman who

just can't do it

You really want to die, but you just don't have the cojones. So once per game you can give another person your gun with one round in it, giving them the ability to daykill once. You win only if they shoot you with your gun.

Suggested players: DGB

Actually this could work as a Hider-ish. Each night you give another player in the game the ability to kill you. You can infer innocence at least form the people that don't. If you claim your role you are removed from the game to undergo therapy (ie modkilled).

[gorckat]

I'd love to read that endgame between him and a Goon.

Goon: Oh, cool! I get to daykill the last player!

DAYKILL: Bob

Bob: Winner winner chicken dinner!
Goon:...

Doh I forgot to indicate that my rendition would be town aligned

I actually like this idea and how it would apply to said role. This role no longer looks so bad when applying it to a town win condition.

It should be compulsive then.

[shaft.ed]

yes, but with the allowance for repeat targeting in case of tight end games.

[PokerFace]

I agree with the two posts above this. That would all make it a useful town role assuming you can track the guns chance for use based on the number of people that die each night should you not be the guns target.

[forbiddanlight]

You are

Original

. No matter what you do, you have to do it first! Thusly, you cannot use any word previously said in this game except of course vote, lynch, any player's name, FoS, HoS, a, and, the, he, she, and other various common words. If you aren't sure of a word, just ask the mod. Also, being original, you can target anyone and do something unique to them every night. However, if you target someone who's already been targetted, you get targetted by your ability.

Mod note: Ability kills the target in some unique manner...and this game also happens to have a nexus.

EDIT: Oh yeah, you can't quote anyone either.

[Korts]

That really, really sucks. If the game goes on long enough, the Original won't be able to say anything of relevance. I think this is truly a worst.

very

sweet!

plus, after about three-four pages, the research put into every sentence would be amazing.

[Mokina]

You are the

Town Mute

.

I'm sorry about this medical condition. Really, it must be hard for you. From an early age it was known that you were unable to speak. You can still point at people with your FoS or HoS. You can still cast votes. And you can still quote other people, but that's pretty much the only way you're ever going to express yourself.

I'm sorry.

modnote:

the other players have a PR of having to say "I'm sorry" directed at the town mute at least three times every post.

Oh yeah. I could just imagine how many reference tabs they have open playing that game. By the end they'd likely make a code out of the few words they can say for parts of speech and such . Ooh...and throw in another role cannot repeat a word in a post. They can repeat words over the game, but in a single post it has to be all different words .

This can actually be a very effective GOOD role idea. I've seen a similar role performed with amazing results.

-----------------------------------

You are

Pinocchio

. But seriously, quit kidding yourself. You're nothing close to a real boy. But there's still the hope that if you do a good thing - like helping the Town win - that you might get your wish and your dream to come true...

You are a Vanilla Townie, and win with the Town. However, you must either roleclaim Day 1 or softclaim that you are Pinocchio with the phrase "real boy" on Day 1.

You are

Geppetto

. That's your name, and puppeteering is your game. For that reason, you've got your life's goals set as a member of the Mafia with ____ and _____.

You have made a doll named Pinocchio, and you recognize him hiding out in this town as ______. At any time, you may PM the Moderator to increase Pinocchio's nose size. The moderator will announce in-thread that Pinocchio's nose has gotten bigger. If you wish, you may paste in a quote from the game in your PM, and the moderator will repeat this quote before announcing the increase in nose size. For instance:

Of course I'm innocent!

_____'s nose has increased in length to the size of a baseball bat.

You win when the Mafia at least equals the Town in number.

[Norinel]

Poking around everyone's mail might do some good...

You are an

Inbox Snoop

. Each night, you may choose one living player, and receive the first sentence of their role PM. If you investigate a player you've already investigated, you receive the first sentence you haven't seen already. You win with the town.

Mod notes: Every role PM has a first sentence of flavor that doesn't give much role info. The Godfather PM looks like this:

If only you could do something about the mafia problem...

You are a

Vanilla Townie

. You have no special abilities, so try to find the scum during the day. You win with the town.

Just kidding! You're actually the

Mafia Godfather

(etc)

The Goon PM looks like this:

Seems like it's finally time to move in!

You are a

Mafia Goon.

You may communicate with your partners at night. It's your Godfather's responsibility to submit a nightkill decision, but if he dies, it falls to you. You win if your family is guaranteed to outlast everyone else.

Your partners are: X (The Godfather), Y, and Z.

[Crazy]

The only bad part about that is that it would lead into really grey territory about quoting role PMs.

[MrStrife]

Congratulations! You are the

Self-Roleblocker

. You may not roleblock others players. Every night you must PM me saying that you are going to roleblock yourself. By roleblocking yourself you will cause a time paradox and automatically kill every pro-town player left in the game. If you do not PM me, I will mod-kill five other pro-town powerroles. (Or, if there are no other powerroles remaining, you and 4 vanilla townies will die). You win with the town.

Good luck!

.

Congratulations! You are

The Warm Side of the Pillow.

Nobody likes you and therefore you have decided to kill everyone else. At any point in the game you can post "FLIP" and any cop for the next five days will solely get innocent investigations on you, trackers will get reports that you visited no one even if that isn't the case, anybody who tries to roleblock you or protect a target you intend to kill will be killed (If it's a doctor, then the doctor dies along with the target), and anybody who doesn't talk about how "cool" you are for the next two (game) days in every single post will be modkilled. Anybody that votes for you during these two days will be day-killed. You win when all the other players are dead, or nothing can prevent this. Good luck!

Congratulations! You are

Alan Colmes.

You may communicate with

Sean Hannity

, who is username

X

. You know that he is alligned with the Mafia, but if you say so in the thread, the town instantly loses. Every time that Sean Hannity lies about anything, you will be informed by me via PM, but not be able to correct him, or else you will be modkilled and the Mafia will get three extra kills every night. You may only make five posts every Day, and none of them can directly respond to a post made by the Sean Hannity player, or you will be modkilled, and become a Death Miller. You win with the town. Good luck!

Congratulations! You are the

Active Lurker

. You may make no posts longer than 20 words, and if you do, you will be mod-killed. You will be prodded every 24 hours if you do not make a post longer than 20 words that day. You win with the town. Good luck!
