<<Agrees with Flay

Example:
Paul: Alright I am at L-1, I claim stump
Bruce: Prove it! or die!
Mod: Paul has Stumped he is town
Bruce: Unvote, Vote: Next Scumiest

You are the
Vote Mimic


Your vote counts as the same number of votes as there are people voting you, if no-one is voting you, your vote counts as no votes, if five people are voting you, your vote counts as five votes and so on.

For extra points, it's a Mafia role.

So...gogogo doublelynch? Or do you have a 'first past the post' lynchbreaker?

That's actually far from the worst role I've ever seen.

You are
Pacman
,

Whenever a townie is killed you may chase after the rest of the players. To eat a player post
Om nom nom <user>
in thread and they will be eaten effectively killing them and getting you points. You win if you are the last person standing.
Don't @ me.

You are the
Monkey
.
You can mimic a target's actions during the Night. It can also affect your vote as well. You win when all Scum wins.
I blame you for this.

I'd just copy and paste the same sentence over and over. But even THAT would be torture.

SSK was a classic lurker. He did it because he couldn't get around sounding scummy when he posted.
He ultimately left the site because the negativity of his reputation reached critical mass, plus RL kicked in.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

You could get a double lynch if the Vote Mimic was the only person voting X and then the Vote Mimic got lynched, but otherwise the town would spend most of the game voting player A (the Vote Mimic) and then suddenly having player B get lynched. It would probably take several lynches to work out what the hell was going on.
It's not the worst possible role, but it's a role i could conceivably see used in a game, and if it cropped up outside of a bastard game i could see it causing a lot of confusion.

You are the Hooker. Every night, you must roleblock a different player. That player gets to know your role. You win if you survive for 3 Night Phases.

Actually, if they exited the game (too sore?) after 3 Night Phases, it wouldn't be the worst role ever used... bit like a 3-shot Cop that wants to find only Town.

You misread...the targeted player is informed who is the hooker, not vice-versa. It is a 3rd party neighbor.

Funny, I used a hooker as a variant to a RB off-site.
:doc:


You are
The Banker
, or alternatively,
a housewife from new jersey
.
Every day you will be able to invest your money into a player publicly. (e.g.
Invest [random amount] into X) If they survive til the end of the game, you win with them. At night, you may choose to put out a contract on your target and have them killed. If you are blocked/investigated, you may divert your funds from your investment to bribe the person targeting you and cancel their actions(this will negate your investment in that player as well/obviously). However if you do not you will appear as scum when investigated.

You win when all threats are eliminated or with the faction of the surviving player you invested in.

No, I got that part. But if they investigate Scum, scum will be inclined towards killing them. So they WANT to hunt town, which makes them more like a Cop+RB, except much less protown due to the Win Condition.

Sparkling Vampire

You are a
Sparkling Vampire
. You have a 1-shot night kill. If you are investigated, if you hammer or if you night kill, your role will be publicly revealed. You win with the Town.
