Better ban the use of the tag that does that too, or people can just quote it.

You may not make any post longer than 140 characters. You may not double post. If questioned regarding the length of your posts, you must reply, "that's the character limit, fool".

You win with the town.

You are the SORE LOSER

You lost in another game not too long ago, and you can only win by not letting them win.

You win if no one else wins.

You are
Secret Santa


Each night, you must PayPal a player of your choice $20.
You may not target the same person twice in the game.

You "win" when you are out of money.

You are a
Card Carrying Goon
.

Your alignment and role PM will be publically posted and identified as yours in the first post of the thread.

Twice per game, during the day, you may kill another player. That player becomes a Neutral Survivor before dying. You may use this ability multiple times per day.

You cannot be killed in the night.

You win with the mafia.

@Leafsnail: I'd love to know how that one works out in practice, because it fits heavily in with my intense analysis of 1:1:1 endgames.

As long as the goon has his finger on the trigger he'd be able to prevent anybody from voting him via a threat. Therefore in practice... the town would want to wait for him to be offline and make a mad dash to lynch him in that time. That could be hard to do though since the goon could threaten to kill anyone who starts discussing strategies for killing him.

Might work better as an SK, then you get the problem of having town or scum players preferring people from the other faction drawing the heat.

It'd work as an SK too I guess.

Even though voting him first is a virtually guaranteed loss? Doesn't seem like playing to win to me.

Paranoid vote holder.

If someone votes foes them, the paranoid vote holder automatically omguses them back. This vote remains for the rest pod the day, and multiple votes can be drawn out by the same person. There is an unlimited amount of times this can happen.

You are a
Mafia Goon

You are the
Rules Lawyer
.

You may not use any of the words or abbreviations present in this role PM, including other forms of said words (plurals, tenses, etc). If you do, you will be modkilled for quoting your role PM.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

A replace word with dots equaling it's length for all words in that is a program you can write. Do that and write normally, then put the post through the program and you've got past the restriction (which makes it no worse then the pr where you had to send all you're posts through a site that makes it txt speak).

It's the only way I can see to viably dodge that pr (and that has the restriction of whether it's worth the effort to write a program assuming you have the knowledge of it). I'm curious what mod would carefully analyze each of you're posts to check all possible incorrect words.

You are the
PERSON WITH A HOT POTATO


The hot potato is stupid, and thus anyone holding it will automatically be put at L-1

If someone lynches a person with a hot potato, they get the potato.

You win with the town.

You have a
Deadly Virus


You will die in 2 phases, starting from D1. Anyone that votes you or targets you at night gets the virus (this role).

You win if everyone dies and neither town nor mafia win this game.

You are the PARANOID DRUG ABUSER
