Grand Idea Mafia

[BBmolla]

Town Unkind Grandmother

Once during the game, during any day, you can poison one player by publicly posting

Poison: PLAYER

. They will die at the start of the following day.

The Role That Says "You exist."

(alignment up to mod discretion)

You exist.

Mod Note: This role has no effect.

[TemporalLich]

Captain

(alignment up to mod discretion)

You are informed of an active role with at least one target that isn't X-shot (or modified with a similar modifier) that exists in the game. You are considered to have command over that role.

Each day (or night including pregame if you have command over a day role), you may send out an order for that role, choosing that role's targets. You may not order a role to not act. Anyone receiving such an order may obey the order and target the chosen targets, or may disobey the order and not act.

Mod Note: If no order is sent or the Captain's action fails, a role may act normally. The Captain action is untargeted. Factional abilities are not affected.

Reroll this role if no roles are eligible for Captain.

Mafia one-hit night Governor

Each night, you may target a player. If that player would be eliminated the next day, instead they aren't. You can only use this ability if you haven't yet prevented any elimination with it.

Edit: see #11479

[TemporalLich]

Mafia Verifying Framer

Each night, you may target a player. That player will show up as Guilty to all investigations that Night. You will be informed if you have successfully influenced an investigation or not.

---

Mafia one-hit Lawyer

Each night, you may target a player. If that player would be eliminated the next day, instead they aren't. You can only use this ability if you haven't yet prevented any elimination with it.

This role is called a Governor (night action variant), a Lawyer would be a role that makes people investigate as Innocent (as if they were Town-aligned) to cop-like investigations, and the 1-Hit modifier would count a hit if someone has investigated your target.

[Skygazer]

Town Weak Shover

Each night, you may target one player to force them to bodyguard another player of your choice. If the player they're bodyguarding is targeted with a kill, the bodyguard shall die in their place. If either of those players are not town-aligned, you shall die.

[Skygazer]

Town Sadistic Game Host

Each night, select four players (you can include yourself). They will be tasked with completing a game of "We Need A Fifth" by the end of the next night. Alignments will be randomized. The losing faction dies at the end of the next night, but selected players will not be informed of this.

Each player in the winning faction will receive a 1-shot dayvig at the end of the next night, but selected players will not be informed of this.

[Invisibility]

Culture Shock

Alignment up to mod discretion. If this game is being played on Mafiascum.net, the game starts on Night 0. If this game is being played anywhere else, the game starts on Day 1.

Grand Idea Mafia has been played on other forums. I found a thread once on a not-Mafia forum that was like the 10th whatever of it. Pretty cool but I forgot what site it was. They had a warning that the Grand Idea Mafia thread might contain some foul language.

[Skygazer]

town anti-coalitioner

town wins if you correctly identify every non-town player by the end of day one.

Infallible Mod Fiat Cop

(alignment up to mod discretion)

Each night, you may target a player to learn if the moderator dislikes their role as a moderator or not. You will always be Reliable no matter what.

This ability cannot be interfered with in any way whatsoever, that is, it will always target its intended target, will always succeed, and will always have its intended effect.

Mod Note: This is entirely subjective and may differ from each game.

Infallible is a modifier designed for Triplicate Action Resolution. Infallible actions are immune to targeting prevention (anything that prevents targeting altogether, e.g. Commuter), targeting manipulation (redirection, anything adding additional targets), action prevention (blocking), effect prevention (protection, anything that causes you to perform a different action on your target), and effect manipulation (anything that alters how your ability works, e.g. Miller).

[TemporalLich]

Verifying Doctor

(alignment up to mod discretion)

Each night, you may protect someone from being killed. You will be informed if you have successfully prevented a death or not.

[Cook]

Third-Party Doomsayer

You leave the game in victory if you correctly Doom three players.

At night you can attempt to speak the doom of three players. PM the moderator their role names. If you get all three names correct, then you will kill them all and leave the game in victory.
Mod note: Doomsayer does not need to kill all three players successfully, but they need to guess all three role names correctly on the same night to win.

[TemporalLich]

Town Soup Motivator

Each night, you may attempt to guess a player's role. If you are correct, that player may act twice the next night. You will be informed if your guess is correct or not.

[Invisibility]

Town Soup

Each night, you may target a player to have them eat you. You will be informed if you are delicious or not.

[Arko]

Third-Party Doomsayer

You leave the game in victory if you correctly Doom three players.

At night you can attempt to speak the doom of three players. PM the moderator their role names. If you get all three names correct, then you will kill them all and leave the game in victory.
Mod note: Doomsayer does not need to kill all three players successfully, but they need to guess all three role names correctly on the same night to win.

Any Town Of Salem 2 Role

Any role from Town of Salem 2. This includes not just the normal roles, but all roles in the game. The selected role has to be correct to the latest version as you roll this.

[Cook]

Third-Party Baker

- Target someone at night to give them a loaf of bread. Anyone who visits a player with bread will know that their target possesses bread. You appear to have bread.
- Once three living players have bread, you will transform into Famine, Horseman of the Apocalypse.
- If there aren't enough players left alive for three of them to have bread, you will leave the game in a loss.

You win if you are the last player alive. You lose one-on-one endgames, since you can't kill.

---

modnote: do not rand this rolecard in your game. this is a supplemental rolecard.

Famine, Horseman of the Apocalypse

- Upon your transformation, the mod will send a message to the thread confirming a Famine has befallen the town, and explain the basis of your role.
- All players without bread have been poisoned the night you transformed, and will die at the end of the next night if you are not eliminated.
- You are no longer able to be nightkilled for any reason whatsoever.
- You may target someone at night to starve them, which will act like a Poisoner (kills them the next night). This poison is cancelled if you die.

You win if you are the last player alive. You win one-on-one endgames now, since you can't conceivably die first.

---

This isn't

quite

Town of Salem 2's Famine. That's on intention.

The hopeful timeline is this:

Spoiler: timeline

Night 3.

You give your third target bread, and transform. Town has one day to find you without being forced down to a 4p MeLO situation.

Night 4.

Everyone except your three bread targets and you die. You starve one of the other players. They now need to find you out of 4 people. One of them will die. It's up to you to make sure that you don't die and that your starved target doesn't die, otherwise you lose or they'll get another chance to find you.

Night 5.

You starve another person. If they eliminated your last starved target or no-eliminated, now you're in a 3p ELO. If they miseliminated or no-eliminated, you'll endgame the other player. Congratulations.

[TemporalLich]

Coven Leader

You are Multitasking. You may perform more than one action each night.

Each night, you may attempt to kill a player.

If you are holding the Necronomicon, you may choose to either become Strong-Willed

(Your actions can't be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.)

or Bulletproof

(You are immune to kill abilities.)

for the Night.

You may not use the kill ability of the Necronomicon.

You will start the game with the Necronomicon. If you aren't

Coven

-aligned, you will start the game with a Broken Necronomicon instead, which works like the Necronomicon but isn't tied to the

Coven

's factional abilities. If a

Coven

-aligned

Coven Leader

exists, the pregame Necronomicon assignment is denied.

Coven

factional abilities:

The Coven starts with a factional artifact known as the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon allows you to attempt to kill a player each night and causes you to appear

Town

-aligned to all investigative roles. During pregame and when the holder of the Necronomicon dies, the Necronomicon may be assigned to another

Coven

member as a factional ability that resolves instantly.

An attempt to add the

Coven

faction to Grand Idea, with some changes to work better for Grand Idea.

[TemporalLich]

Coven Ritualist

Each night, you may attempt to guess a player's full role card (both alignment and role). If you correctly guess that player's role card, that player will unavoidably die. If you incorrectly guess that player's role card, your flip will be posted into the game thread and you will permanently lose this ability. This ability is treated as untargeted for all purposes.

Coven

factional abilities:

The Coven starts with a factional artifact known as the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon allows you to attempt to kill a player each night and causes you to appear

Town

-aligned to all investigative roles. During pregame and when the holder of the Necronomicon dies, the Necronomicon may be assigned to another

Coven

member as a factional ability that resolves instantly.

I am very unsure if the

Coven

from Town of Salem 2 is even a worthy faction. If not (likely the case), this role and Coven Leader will be reworked to be

Werewolf

-aligned roles.

Also, I will point out that the Ritualist's ability assuming a correct guess is a Force of Nature, which is intended to be completely unavoidable (as a Force of Nature is effectively both strong-willed and untargeted, in a Triplicate Action Resolution game a Force of Nature is both indirect and Meticulous) and would even ignore death negation from roles like Famine or Peaceful Archon.

[Invisibility]

Faction Thief

Alignment up to mod discretion. You get a 1-shot of each factional ability present at the start of the game.

[TemporalLich]

Town Peaceful Archon

If you die for any reason, nobody dies the next Night.

[Invisibility]

Reroll, but give this card a night restriction.

If the card has no night restriction, the mod randomly chooses between even-night or off night and gives it that. If it does, the mod inverts the night restriction. For instance, an even-night role becomes an odd-night role and a night 2 role can act/be active on every night except night 2. Give the card a night restriction even in situations where it doesn't make sense, such as on vanilla townies.

[Invisibility]

Town Informed Insane Cop

You are a cop but your guilty and not guilty results are reversed. You are aware of this.

[Cook]

Coven Potion Master

You are a Doctor/Full Cop, and may target someone at night either to heal them, or to see their flip.

Potion Master is

not

a Multitasking role.

Coven

factional abilities:

The

Coven

starts with a factional artifact known as the

Necronomicon

. The

Necronomicon

allows you to attempt to kill a player each night and causes you to appear

Town

-aligned to all investigative roles. During pregame and when the holder of the

Necronomicon

dies, the

Necronomicon

may be assigned to another

Coven

member as a factional ability that resolves instantly.

Willing to try and make this faction work. If not, I will probably write a setup involving the Horsemen. PM me here or on Discord if interested in collaborating.
