You have a post restriction which forces you to always speak in bird language. You win if you follow this post restriction till the end of the game.
You may also sprichst deutsch and post pigeon images.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Excellent Role! ^_^
I'd say this as a Role, using your ideas:
You are
Aneninen aka Birdman
You can only post in an illegible style, including bird language, German or anything else which makes zero sense.
At least once per RL day you have to post a pigeon image and an obviously fake Day Action.
You win if at least half of the players admit openly that they (1) ignore you (2) stop reading your posts or (3) calling you useless.
You may not post in English. All of your posts must be in a language that google translate can translate. You may use google translate to help you write your posts. You may not use the same language on the same page.

Things I've learned.
1. It's just a game, have fun.
2. Don't waste time on people who think you are scum. Ignore them and keep scum hunting.
3. Don't take everything so personal.
4. Tunneling sucks (unfortunately I can't seem to stop)

Add on a restriction that in each Day, each post must be in a different language.
The two topics have become rather confused over time.
The main difference is that I try to put bastard ideas here (both the unplayable ones, and the ones that would work fine in a game), and perfectly viable (if often bizarre or unusual) roles over there.
There's a 50% chance you're a vanilla townie.
There's a 50% chance you're a mafia traitor who doesn't know the real mafia members.
This is determined pre-game, and you'll only find out when you flip, or when the game ends (..or when a cop outs you).
Town night 5 motion detector
Edit:
Should be a worse role.

Well, I think this thread is for roles that are bastard, game-breaking, overpowered, unfun, or absurd, whereas the Grand Idea Mafia thread is for a mix of roles but ones that could all realistically be used in an actual game, and fall within actual game parameters of power, fun, and bastardliness. Often I go for making them almost useless (because most setups need more VTs than power roles and non-vanilla VTs are more interesting for a role madness game), but I go for plenty of actual power roles with levels of power you'd find in actual setups. OTOH, most of the roles I post in this thread are third parties that are overpowered or near unwinnable, power roles that generally have a terrible influence on the game around them, or roles that just plain don't work. (That said, I still try to put in a good number of roles that would be usable in a bastard mod game, so that worst-roles games are possible.)
Something like a night 5 motion detector belongs in Grand Idea because it's functionally a VT; technically, it's a marginally better VT. Most of the roles you get in this thread, being a VT instead would be a huge improvement.
I'd just think "meh, I'm a VT". And VT is a role I'm perfectly happy with getting. (I've been in a game with a Compulsive Self-Vanillaizer before, which is an even more useless role.)
When I played in izak's Worst Roles Mafia game, I was a Mafia Mason (with a Werewolf Mason partner). That role is genuinely bad, both in the way it's named, and in the way it actually plays (because you can often figure out someone's buddies through a neighbourhood, it sets up a prisoners' dilemma that increases the chance of crosskills, thus hurting both scum factions by making things easier for town).

(There's also the very slim chance that grand idea is directed to this thread anyway)

(alignment up to mod's discretion)
Whenever you vote, no players (including you) may post until the mod has posted a vote count directly after your post. Any posts that are posted regardless, should be deleted by the mod.
You have a number of votes equal to the lynch threshold, minus the number of living players in your scumteam. The extra votes follow your main vote, and are visible in the votecount.
(
standard Mafia win condition
)
This role has a factor that makes it very overpowered and a factor that makes it very underpowered. If the mod is really
really
lucky, they may end up cancelling each other out. EDIT: Clarify that they show on the votecount, it's kind-of important.

Whenever the mod makes an error in a vote count, it's corrected in the opposite direction to the one that would correct it (e.g. if a player is shown as having 3 votes on them but only 2 people are voting for them, that player now has 4 votes on them). This is effectively done via adding Loved or Hated modifiers that show on the votecount (i.e. change number of votes, not threshold) and only last for the day.

So when I stuff up and put the wrong person as the voter, they become a double vote stealer?
