Survivor With a Terrible Gambling Habit

You start with a balance of 2 points. Please place bets on each game's outcome below, either betting it will end in a Town win or a Town loss. Each bet costs 1 point. You can go into debt. You may not change your bets once you place them. You may not bet on the outcome of a game you are alive in or plan to replace in to.

Mod: include a list of every ongoing game with this role PM.

If your bet turns out correct in favor of Town's win, you will win 2 points. If your bet turns out correct in favor of Town's loss, you will win 1.5 points. Do not throw games in an attempt to win points in this game or you will probably face sitewide sanctions. Not that you can, because you can't bet on games you're able to affect.

If a game starts while this one is ongoing, you may place a bet on it. Watch the board to see if any games fire in that time.

Your outstanding balance affects your ability to survive. If your outstanding balance is negative, for every 1 point of debt you are in, you gain a level of Hated. Partial points do not count. If your outstanding balance is positive, you are Deathproof. Each time your Deathproof activates, you will lose 1 point. If this causes your balance to go negative, it still counts.

Survive to the end of the game to win.

Goofy Unjester

You are silly and goofy.

If you say one of those two words in every post you make, you will lightning rod all Town-aligned kills to you for the rest of the game.

[camelCasedSnivy]

A role made in school

hi you are self aligned. wow!

for every vote you have at the end of each day phase, you get a book.

you may consume as many books as you want at night. for each book you read, you take half a vote more to be eliminated the next day. if you have any books remaining after this, you will compulsively use one book to become ascetic at night due to being a bookworm. on even numbered nights, you gain a Princeton AP study book, which is twice as effective as a normal book. this book is prioritized in consuming for being ascetic.

if anyone kills or hammers you, they will inherit all your books and the same effects will apply to them.

once during the day, you may choose 2 people to invite to a book club the following night, a named neighborhood. everyone in the neighborhood will receive one book at the end of the night but the neighborhood will stay open until the end of time.

you win if you are killed while holed up (being ascetic), ridding you of all your educational worries. man school sucks

Failed Committee Mafia

Your role is a random role that was not included in xyzzy's most recent Veiled Committee-style game, but was submitted by its designers.

[DkKoba]

Pagetopping Serial Killer

For every 5 pagetops you nab, you get one daykill. You may only use one daykill per day.

Pagetop Hating Serial Killer

Once per day, if a player gets 5 pagetops in a dayphase, and you have pagetopped 0 times in the entire game, you may daykill them.

[camelCasedSnivy]

why is ap chem a class

hi you are self aligned.

each night, you may give 1 mol of any element up to uranium on the periodic table. you cannot give out the same element twice.

if the element has a half life under 10 years, you must calculate how much decays each day/night cycle

if that element is an

alkali metal

, then the holder may use 5g of it each night to activate a bomb effect for the next day/night. the holder can use 20g to become a strongman bomb for the next day/night too.

if that element is a

transition metal

and a solid at room temperature, then the holder may use 15g of it to protect from one shot, able to use this ability multiple times to protect from multiple shots. can also consume 50g to become ascetic. gallium will melt after the night after its given.

if that element is a

metalloid

and NOT a

halogen

, then its the same as a

transition metal

but with double the costs.

if that element is a

halogen

AND a solid at room temperature, then the holder gains a day exploder ability (which consumes all the mass of the element), with the max energy level - 1 being how many protections that this ability pierces.

if that element is a

noble gas

, then any abilities by other elements are absorbed. for each time it absorbs an effect, this element will lose the same amount of mass as the holder used when using their ability.

you win if you give out one element for each element group which includes:

alkali metals, alkaline earth metal, transition metals, metalloids, halogens, noble gases, lanthanoids, actinoids

OR you are alive during endgame

mod note: its hard to come up with properties for element groups and I'm in school but this is to say i wont be the only ones calculating molar mass now

The Fortune Teller

You are a

Townsfolk

.

Each Night visit two players. You learn whether one of them is the Demon. One town aligned player is secretly Red Herring who reads as the Demon.

Mizzy's Blood on the Grandfather Idea Clock project

I'm converting roles from Blood on the Clocktower to Grand Idea. As part of this I am defining terms from Blood on the Clocktower I will sometimes use here. This post may be edited but only to add new terms to the glossary.

Moderator Agency:

One of the main distinctions from Blood on the Clocktower to a lot of social deduction games is the moderator has agency. The goal of the moderator when making a decision is to try and get the game to a final 3 situation. When a role gives the moderator a choice this is the principle the should use.

Townsfolk

:

A town aligned player whose ability is primarily helpful for town or who has no ability. When an ability that cares about Townsfolk is in the game, the moderator determines whether a role not from this project is a townsfolk or not.

Outsider

:

A town aligned player whose ability is primarily negative for town. When an ability that cares about Outsiders is in the game, the moderator determines whether a role not from this project is an Outsider or not.

Minions

and

the Demon

:

In Blood on the Clocktower the goal of the good team is to kill the Demon. The Demon is the only evil player that can night kill and the Minions are the other evil players. For the purposes of this project they are aligned with the Mafia. There can only be one Demon and if something creates another Demon the original one should die. When an ability cares about Minions or the Demon is in the game, but there isn't a Demon role in the Mafia, the moderator should pick one Mafia member to be the Demon and the rest are Minions. If you do this the Demon should be multitasking with any other abilities they have and everyone should be aware of the change of win condition vs this faction.

Poisoned and Drunk:

If a player is made Poisoned or Drunk they should be treated as if they are completely roleblocked, including passive abilities. However they do not know they are poisoned or drunk and should be allowed to make choices and gain information from their ability as if it was working. If they gain information while poisoned or drunk the Moderator has agency to tell them whatever they think is best to achieve the goal defined in Moderator Agency.

Madness:

A player is mad about something if they are trying to convince other players it is true. A player will be mad about a number of things throughout the game whether or not it is mechanically relevant. Some abilities require players to be mad about something. Whether or not they succeed is a subjective decision by the moderator.

Registering:

When a player registers as something, it means that the moderator treats them as being what they register as for the purpose of other players abilities. This is often optional, allowing the moderator to use agency to have that player register as a different thing at different times in aid of their goal as defined under moderator agency.

Table Position and Neighbors:

Some of these roles care about table position and neighbors. For the purposes of this treat the player list at the start of the game as a circle, with the top player adjacent to the bottom. Some care about specific types of neighbors. For example, a role that cares about Townsfolk neighbors cares about the nearest Townsfolk on each side of the role in question, ignoring non-Townsfolk in between.

The Drunk

You are an

Outsider

You believe you are a Townsfolk and receive a Townsfolk role. If you believe you are a role that gets information the moderator may use their agency to lie or tell you the truth in order to make you believe you are that role.

Glossary of Terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Harpy

You are a

Minion

Each night choose two players. The first player must be mad that the second player is evil, or else both might die.

Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Imp

You are the

Demon

You may choose to kill yourself at night to have a living Minion become the Imp.


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Mayor

You are a

Townsfolk

If you are alive in a final 3 situation, town can win by executing no one. If you would die at night the mod may choose to kill someone else instead.

[Mizzytastic]

The Moonchild

You are an

Outsider.

On learning that you have died, publicly choose a player. If they are town aligned they die in the next night.

[Mizzytastic]

Each night, you poison a player for that night and the next day.


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Fang Gu

You are the

Demon

At game setup, one Townsfolk should be replaced with an Outsider of the moderators choice.

If your night kill kills an Outsider instead you die and they become a member of the Mafia and the Fang Gu. Fang Gu created this way can no longer jump to outsiders.

[TemporalLich]

Town Flipless Flip Suppressor

Your flip is suppressed and thus has no information in it.

If you are eliminated, all flips the next Night are suppressed.



This role is considered to be an

Outsider

to any roles that care about

Outsiders

as opposed to

Townsfolk

.

---

Would benign third parties such as Survivor and Jester be considered

Outsiders

regardless of role?

[Mizzytastic]

The Chef

You are a

Townsfolk

At the start of the game you learn how many pairs of group-scum players are sitting next to each other. (e.g. 3 adjacent group-scum players is 2 pairs)

Glossary of terms: 11787

---

Either an unnamed extra category or Outsider would work for a benign 3rd party. I think I'd lean Outsider just to minimise the number of roles in a randomly drawn game that don't interact with these terms.

[Cook]

Mafia Blood Moon

While you are alive, all non-Vanilla roles will receive the following message:

Blood Moon

Your power role does not function while the Blood Moon is going on.

All power roles will flip as

Mafia Goon

while you are alive. In addition, any mana sources that are

not

Basic Lands (plains, island, swamp, mountain, forest for the MTG colors, outskirts, cosmos, cave, hideout, village for the MS colors) will produce one mana with red and scum colors every time it would otherwise generate mana.

---

What about multiball? Should it be flattened down to one scum faction, and is this baked in to every BotC-specific role?

[camelCasedSnivy]

Town Grass Snake

you are in a PT with camelCasedSnivy, regardless of if he is in the game or not. if he is in the game, this constitues as a named neighborhood

[camelCasedSnivy]

Superstar Vanilla Townie

At any point, the mod can confirm that you are a Superstar Vanilla.
