Grand Idea Mafia

[callforjudgement]

Rook

(if you roll this role, give it to the player you rolled it for as Town Rook, and to a random other player by adding it to their role as a modifier)

You start the game trapped behind other players, but become powerful as the game opens up a while. Once half the players in the game (rounded down) have died, you become a Strong Vigilante if you don't have access to a killing role or factional kill, or gain the Strong modifier to support an existing kill that you have. Unfortunately, before that point, you don't have a vote. You will be confirmed to be a Rook (and what this means) at the start of the game, although any other aspects of your role or alignment will not be revealed.

Queen

(alignment chosen by moderator)

Your ability at quickly moving around the board lets you be almost everywhere overnight! Each night, you target every other player (thus a Tracker scan will see you target every player, a Watcher scan will return you no matter who is targeted, etc.)

[callforjudgement]

King

(80% chance of town, otherwise belongs to a random groupscum faction that already exists in the game)

You will be confirmed as a

King

at the start of Day 1. You effectively have infinitely many votes; no player can be lynched until you vote for them (no matter how many votes are on that player), and once you vote for a player, they will be hammered immediately. Overnight, you

must

choose another player to become the next King (this is Compulsive), and cannot choose a player who has been King before; you will lose this role, and the chosen player will get its voting-related benefits and be confirmed as a

King

. This pattern continues indefinitely (thus there is a different King for each new day); the pattern can only break, putting the lynch system back to normal, if there are no available choices for the new

King

or if the player you attempt to nominate as

King

dies overnight.

Expendable Werewolf

(change to Mafia if there are no other Werewolves in the setup)

At the end of night 2, if your faction is as large as a typical scum faction would be expected to be based on the total number of players who started the game (

moderator discretion, but e.g. size 2 for a 9p game, size 3 for a 13p game

), you die. If your faction is smaller, this role has no effect and you're just a normal Werewolf.

[callforjudgement]

Town Seer

Can scan one player for Werewolf-ness per night. Can't distinguish between non-Werewolf factions.

[Sméagol]

Town 1-shot baker

Your target will receive the message "You have received bread!", but only if there is a miller in the game.

[Sméagol]

Role switcher

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
You will gain your target's role (minus alignment), and your target will gain this role.

[callforjudgement]

Town Rolecop Detector

Each night, you may target a player to find out whether or not they are a Rolecop (or have some similar ability that returns the names of roles; for example, a Rolecop Detector would scan as "not a rolecop" as its result is a true/false rather than a role name).

[callforjudgement]

Town Extremely Specific Role-Specific Cop

Along with your role, the mod has generated a random number from 0 to the number of posts in the Grand Idea thread (at the cutoff being used for this game), and informed you of that number. Each night, you may scan a player to see whether or not they have the role described in the corresponding post. There is no guarantee that the role in question actually exists in the setup.

If it hits Vanilla Townie, might actually be potentially useful. Otherwise, the odds of it being anything other than a Visitor are pretty low.

[Ircher]

Town Musician

You have the following

1-Shot Day

abilities (must post in-thread):

1.

The Mesmerizing Flute

- Post in thread you want to play your flute and a person to target. That player will only be able to vote No Elimination or whatever wagon you are on for the rest of that Day Phase.

2.

A Sound of Thunder

- Post in thread you would like to blast your trumpet. Admist the confusion, all player's votes will be randomly locked to two other players besides themselves. From that point onward for that day phase, players may only vote for No Elimination, themselves, or one of the two players to whom their vote is locked to.

[Felissan]

Archnemesis

You are the archnemesis of a random non-town player; your actual role will be a copy of theirs, and some other players from outside your archnemesis's faction will have their role modified for your factions to be perfectly symetrical. You both know you're each other's Archnemesis. Your win conditions are mutually exclusive.

This idea was definitely not inspired by the Linear Guild.

[Sméagol]

Town night 5 motion detector

[Sméagol]

Surprise jack-of-all-trades (1-shot surprise 1; 1-shot surprise 2; 1-shot surprise 3)

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
Pre-game, you must PM me 3 other players. They will determine what 1-shot ability you will get, but you will not be informed of their choice. They have until the end of day 1 to make a choice, if they fail to decide, the mod will choose one for you.

[Sméagol]

E detector

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
You can find out if target player's role name contains the letter

e

.

[Sméagol]

Alien visitor

Each night you can visit another player.

[Sméagol]

Town Back-up 1-shot vigilante

When every town player with some form of vigilante ability has died, you will become a 1-shot vigilante.

[Sméagol]

Vigilante enabler

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
When you die, all players (regardless of alignment) lose all forms of vigilante abilities.

[Sméagol]

Town custom miller

You may choose what cop results on you will be, other than town.

Mafia record falsifier

Twice each dayphase, you may have the mod edit one of your own posts to anything you like.

[Sméagol]

Mafia redirector

[Sméagol]

Cursed troll

When you die, you don't flip, instead, you petrify.
You can't post or do anything like expected, but you are still available for targeting.

[Sméagol]

Town 2-shot jetpack inventor

On 2 nights, you may give a target player the

You yourself don't have flying, though you may use one of your shots to gain flying.
