Bastard Mod Mafia roles.
I think the worst of the bunch were the single townie with the false "townie info", and the Nightwatchman. The second falls foul of the Post Restrictions Suck 'rule', and the first is avoidable in most games since the Mod isn't usually actively misleading you.
A Werewolf/Mafia mason team, though, was just comedy gold.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

QFT. Bastard Mod would have worked better if it had been bastardy toward everyone, rather than just the town.Fuldu wrote:Let me just say for anyone who might be minded to make such a game, balancing this beast is not for the faint of heart. Mine turned out okay, but I suspect it could have easily not. If your goal is simply to be a Bastard Mod, then I suppose whatever happens falls within the guidelines you've provided. But if you actually want a game with a long list of negative value roles to work as a playable and fair game, most of the ideas suggested here aren't going to work.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Until they come upon this post in their searches, anyway...xyzzy wrote:In a game in another forum, I'm doing a bunch of roles which no one there will completely understand: Fritzler, who thinks he can do anything but actually messes everything up, Glrok, who's imitating Fritzler and actually can do anything, Glork, who's trying to kill Glrok (who he believes to be a Glork impersonator), and a random Lyncher who's trying to kill Glork.
Of course, most of the players there have never even heard of Mafiascum, so they'll be so confused they'll Google all the names and end up here. Then we'll finally have them in our grasp.
And they'll lose every time. They're sheep, following around whatever woll in sheep's clothing who's the loudest. It'll be funny. I will laugh. But then they'll become better, and my entertainment will be over.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

pete d sent me some roles by PM that I won't be using, but others might find interesting (clearing out my Inbox):Mafia Evil Extra Vote(s?):Their extra vote(s?) will be made personally by the mod.
The Prestige:Modified lyncher, chooses a target to make disappear, then has to get them lynched once they reappear (Or possibly appears dead at some point, but is then "resurrected" a short time later and becomes a normal lyncher).
Mafia ESP:Can send anonymous ESP messages to other players via the mod anytime (both day and night). However, the other players cannot respond.Mod notes: delusional, just a normal goon
Mafia Death Death Miller:Comes up as Death Miller upon death. Investigates as "fish".Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Without the Mod Note, this is actually a viable role. "Keep talking to me, guys, or I might lose it..."Booker wrote:You are aTraumatized Mason, along withXandY, and can communicate freely with them at night via PMs. Everyone tended to ignore you completely from childhood on, including your parents. Quite frankly, you can't stand it. If either of your Mason partners don't send you a PM two days in a row, you lose control and kill them. (If both ignore you for the same space of time, the victim is chosen randomly) If both of your Mason friends die, you become a Serial Killer. You win with town, and are confident your buddies are protown as well.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

This am not good role.Peers wrote:You areBizarro #1. You no am hunting scum. You no want to save town. You am not able to... screw it, I can't do this. You cannot cast votes yourself, however, you have the ability to unvote for other people. When you unvote for someone, their vote will no longer be counted in the vote summary until you unvote someone else. You also must post in Bizarro-speak, or you lose this ability (but still cannot vote). You am lose when scum is inlettered by town.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

You, sir, have been watching too much Amy Winfrey. *shudder*Yosarian2 wrote:You are aware-muffin(Pro-town lycanthrope)
After being bitten by radioactive glutan products, you have become a bizzare half-man, half muffin. Luckely, though much practice, you have gained a measure of control over your shapechanges.
Each night, you may EITHER remain in the form of a man, OR shapechange into the form of a MUFFFIN. If you are in Muffin form, then anyone trying to kill you will not be able to find you and the kill will fail; HOWEVER, while in Muffin form, you will be the biggest, most tasty-looking muffin ever, so anyone trying to taget you for ANY OTHER reason (cops, docs, roleblockers, ect) will eat and therefore kill you.
You win with the town.
Still, I'd probably play Common Object Lycanthropy. No need for Mafia really, everybody's a lycanthrope, some are just uncommon objects...Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

Hah, that would be a good small fast game, iam. How as Mod would you know if they open them or not? I guess you could have them quote the ability back to you via PM, but there's no incentive (except honor) to quote a negative one. PMs move from Outbox to Sentbox as soon as you open your Inbox, not when you read them. Maybe it'll be different under phpBB3...Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

This is my biggest problem with it (although the time-taken problem is NOT insignificant). RPS is not analogous because it IS possible to win any given game of RPS, just some players have a slight edge. If I go up against Sudo_Nym in chess, however, I will lose every time.Thok wrote:Finally, the difference in chess skill is likely to be vast in a mafia game, even with an announced theme.Retired as of October 2014.- Mr. Flay

You're thinking hated townie. Takes one less vote to hammer.
I think what he means is that L-1 is however many votes are on that player, so if for example two people were voting him, it would be 3 votes to lynchanyone else.
