Grand Idea Mafia

[Ircher]

Triplet Voter (Random Alignment)

You possess three votes each worth 1/3 a vote.

Mod Notes: Elimination thresholds should not be rounded, and for threshold purposes, a tuplet voter possesses only a single vote.

For alignment, roll 1d6:

1 -- Town
2 -- Mafia
3 -- Werewolf
4 -- Serial Killer
5 -- Survivor
6 -- Jester
---
@Call's role:
That role is a bit op when combined with a vote amplifier. But yeah, there's where it be usedul. Or maybe to hammer multiple wagons.

You win if you aren't lynched (i.e. you get daykilled, nightkilled, or endgamed).

Indecisive Lyncher

Once during the game, at night, you may PM the mod to change your target to a randomised player among the players alive (except your original target and you).

I like that. Gives a built-in explanation for what happens if the target gets nightkilled.

PEDIT: You do realise that a scum King is an autowin unless they get vigged, right? Or are you using some strange definition I don't know of?

[Ircher]

Vanilla Townie

I was just gonna say it was nothing unless a hero is lynched in which case the king gets lynched.

Edit 05/22/19: I changed it to be a standard Kingmaker (w/ only 1-Shot) instead for consistency purposes.

Town Hero

If you are lynched, and the lynch vote was affected in any way by unusual voting mechanics (King, Doublevoter, another player being Governed, etc.), you survive and the player or players whose mechanics interfered with the lynch vote dies.

VT

I was just gonna say it was nothing unless a hero is lynched in which case the king gets lynched.

I put one into the role pool earlier but the odds of hitting it were pretty low. Let's have another, now that you've brought it up. (Amusingly, my definition doesn't actually end up killing your variant of the King, because it doesn't trigger based on names; name-restricted roles tend to be bad ideas in Grand Idea because the odds of them hitting a role they can interact with are so low.)

[BNL]

X Alignment Unvoter

Reroll to determine alignment. Your vote is worth -1.

should this be in Worst Roles instead?

[Ircher]

Golden Alien

@BNL - I think that one is reasonsbly playable. The mod should adjust voting threshold appropriately though.

[Ircher]

Town Archangel

Each night, choose a player. That player will be protected from the Mafia's factional kill (specifically; this won't block other sources of kills).

[Maruchan]

VT

I want to run another grand idea in the same principle of http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=62222 but with a new theme other than fruit vendors. Anyone got a good idea for a sub-theme of this thread for me to make a game out of? A specific player's role suggestions, a spicific subtype of roles (only roles with abnormal voting mechanics) etc. I jsut wanan go another not-quite-fully-grand-diea again.

[callforjudgement]

We've had a bunch of roles posted using the "flying" modifier (really it was just Sméagol originally but other people joined in eventually), and it only really works if there's a high density of it. (In order to work you need to throw some non-flying roles in too, though, so you'd have to modify the search a bit. Or not; there are a few roles there which happened to use the word in another context and thus show up in the search, including VT, and that would allow you to assemble a viable setup.)

Also, I need to post a role in order to make this post valid. Hmm, what about this?

Mafia Ninja Semi-Strongman

If you perform your faction's factional kill, you investigate as though you performed no action that night, and it pierces any protections that specifically block kills on its target. (It does not pierce protections such as Rolestops or Ascetic that can block actions other than kills.) (EDIT: Although there's no point in piercing Ascetic because it doesn't stop kills anyway.)

[Sméagol]

Mafia voters roleblocker

While you're alive, you will automatically roleblock everyone who has a vote active at the end of the day, with the exception of factional abilities. This ability will not trigger if you yourself have cast a vote.

[Sméagol]

Town RGB cop

Investigate someone to find out their alignment. Your results will be in one of the following formats (which one is predetermined pre-game):

Format 1

red

// for town results.

green

// for non-town results.

Format 2

green

// for town results.

blue

// for non-town results.

Format 3

blue

// for town results.

red

// for non-town results.

[Felissan]

Mafia Goon

Mafia voters roleblocker

While you're alive, you will automatically roleblock everyone who has a vote active at the end of the day, with the exception of factional abilities.

If this guy's voting at the end of a day, he causes a paradox.

[KittyMo]

Underdog Secret Double Voter

Your second vote is cast via privately messaging the mod and will be attributed to "Anonymous" in vote counts

[Sméagol]

Neutral paradox hunter

You have the same win condition as town, but in addition, you have the following alternative win condition:
If an ability interaction causes a paradox, you win, and leave the game. You may also decide how the paradox should be resolved.

If this guy's voting at the end of a day, he causes a paradox.

I originally had in mind for the player's own vote to be ignored for the purpose of its ability, but decided it would be a nice additional drawback, and added a clause. Too bad, because I like paradoxes.

[Sméagol]

Town vector tracker

Investigate the smallest number of player slots the target is removed from its own target in the playerlist.

Comment

4 examples, assuming a total of 9 players:
1] The target player is number 3, and the target player's target is number 7, the returned result is

4

.
2] The target player is number 1, and the target player's target is number 8, the returned result is

2

.
3] If the target player targets itself, the returned result is

0

4] If the target player has no target, the returned result is

NULL

.

Town Insane Seer

town vector tracker would be fun if they're redirected.

[callforjudgement]

Town Parity Cop

Each night, you can target a player. Players who investigate as part of the same faction will give the same result, and who investigate as part of different factions will give different results, but the actual results are randomly chosen words and you won't be directly told how they map to factions (although you might be able to figure it out from, say, observing a flip).

[Cheery Dog]

Town Bus Redirector

Each night you may target one player. You should also submit another two names (one of these can be the came as your target and/or yourself).
If the targeted played is a Bus Driver, you will redirect their action to the secondary names.

[callforjudgement]

Town Wagon Redirector

Each night you may target two players. Everyone who voted for the first target on the previous day will have any night actions they use retargeted to the second target.
