Worst role ideas?

[Mirth]

Here's a seasonal one (since I'm almost out of my novelty M&Ms and need to drag my behind to Walgreens and get some more and am thus craving chocolate...only good thing about card-industry-created-non-holidays: ready availibility of candy that you can't find at other points of time in the year. Which is why I'm looking forward to easter.)

Congratulations! You are

a flying baby that shoots people

. Nevermind the fact that you're a bastardization of a mythological figure that has inspired some of the most wonderful works of art ever, or that your supposed power is akin to the sideeffects of Rohypnol and other date rapes drugs combined with a smidgen of brain washing, a couple of pinches of elimination of free will, and a sprinkle of "men are only playthings for you to amuse yourself with." We'll overlook all this for now. Since society decided that you are the ultimate match-maker, the ultimate matchmaker you shall be.

Everynight, you will send me the names of two people who you wish to shoot with your arrows. If your aim is true, they will fall in love with one another and all be happiness and bliss. You win when *every* player is a monogamous relationships with one other player, there is no unrequited love around, and no threats to this perfect harmony remain. No night actions work on you, but you may be lynched.

Bastard mod note: throw this role into a game where there are polygamous or cheating lovers. Or better yet, throw this role into a game of cynics who will be immune. Or cannibals that eat babies. (If you don't want to add this bit of bastardry, it is still impossible to Cupid to fulfill his win condition. Every player includes him, and since no night actions work on him, he can't have any success shooting himself.)

You are a spastic daykiller.

You have a post restriction where in every single one of your posts, you must attempt to daykill another player in the game, by bolding the statement

kill:player

. This will usually not have any effect, but one in a great while (on average, once per game day, although it might be more or less often then that), the person you name there will instantly die. If you ever forget your post restriction, or if you ever lurk for more then 48 hours, a random pro-town player may be daykilled instead. You may not attempt to daykill yourself.

You win with the town.

[Phate]

I like Spastic Daykiller. That role is hilarious.

[Mafiaplayer]

You are one of the Cop Brotherhood. You know that there are two other Cop Brotherhood members, but not who they are. Results will only come in if vote is unonymous, and only to a random Cop of the Brotherhood. If you do not get results, you won't be told whether someone else did or not.

I love that role. Although he can win, I think... I have had no sleep, so I should probably proof read before I post... Cupid can win by having everyone but him in a monogamous relationship then getting himself lynched.

It is the solution to Jester... You have just created Jester +1.

Just a little question... Is it bad to use some of these roles in a game?

[Mirth]

Just a little question... Is it bad to use some of these roles in a game?

Well that depends. If you let the players know you're going to be a bastard, (and ask permission for any roles you intend to borrow if that is your actual question), then it's fine. If you have a game without telling them that their roles will totally suck, then you would be considered a bad horrible person and be kvetched about endlessly. If the players know what they're getting into, then feel free to go all out.



Nemesis: Cupid could theoretically win. But he doesn't know if his arrows worked. And a true bastard mod (oh, speaking of modding, I put myself on the Open waitlist, since I don't actually have to do anything but flavor for one of those. Might actually get to mod a bastard game before christmas. Yay.) would take every player to mean all dead players including Cupid himself. But even if that wasn't the case, he'd have to make sure to be the last person lynched, which might not work since by then all threats to the town *are* eliminated and the game might end. So it's not a solution to anything. Just another way to frustrate a player into hating you. Though the role could be modified to make less bastardy.

Didn't his mother tell him that sarcasm usully fails on the interwebs.

I guess not. Manners fails big time too

Your Mom

You're the butt of every joke.

Whos butt? YOUR MOM'S!

Eww grandma butt.

You win if nobody uses a "your mom" joke. If someone does use one, you must answer promptly with "Ur Face!" or you will be modkilled.

thats not a bad role, thats just a dumb role. LIKE YOUR MOM.

[Roach]

You are A TIME TRAVELER. Each Night, you go back up to XXXX posts (XXXX representing the number of posts they can go back (for instance, Time Travelers who can go back 50 posts)). These posts will be the last XXXX of posts (starting (and including) your last (and current) post for the previous Day (as well as all other posts by the other players, not including any posts that request a replacement or state V/LA)) for the previous Day. This action can only be used when you put 'Timeturner' in the subject line of your Night action PM, and the number of posts you wish to go back (not exceeding the limit) is in the message body. The resulting reply will be the last number of posts that you wished to see (starting with (and including) your last (and current) post for the previous Day). You win when the Town does.

MOD NOTE: Be sure to include ALL posts when the player sends their PM regarding their Night action for this role, including all replacement requests and V/LA posts. Also, when this player exceeds the posts that they can go back, they will automatically be put at L-1 the following day.

[gorckat]

I must be descending into a carb coma because I can't make heads or tails of that.

It must be the worst role ever, because it obviously does

something

, but since I can't figure it out, I'd probably just play as a vanilla

I don't understand this. Can you explain it better?

[JordanA24]

You are Quagmire

, you have a role, but you don't know what it is because you didn't your Role PM.

You win with ???

[gorckat]

You are a

Sneaky Bastard

who hates wishy-washy pansies who frit about all day and change their mind often. Your first post each game day must be a vote for another living player, which will remain in effect for the whole day, even if you unvote and vote another player which, incidentally, you must do each post.

If a player you did not use your first post vote on is at -1, you must vote for them (even though it will not count) if you post or you will be modkilled.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

[Nekka-Lucifer]

You are

Nekka-Lucifer

. As soon as you post something that makes sense, you are Mod-killed

[PokerFace]

This role better suits Krap Logick Korlash

[Mirth]

Congratulations! You are

Insomnia

! And while I may have been trying to drink you out of existance (damn you, liquor-resistant Russian genes! Damn you!) you just won't go away. Since you make my life all kinds of not fun, I won't be very functional as a mod until I manage to get rid of you. In a manner that hopefully doesn;t involve sleeping pills. You have a win condition, but I forgot what it was somewhere between hallucinating stars from not being able to sleep. You'll figure it out eventually.

Mod note: This role is a Switch. For the Mod. And a survivor. While this role is still alive, the mod's votecounts will be unrealiable and determined by dice rolling or some other systematized randomness. The mod will *not* correct mistaken vote counts, so it is the players' responsibiity to pay close attention and not accidently lynch someone, because even if the vote count is a result of inept modding, it is the word of god until a lynch or the next vote count occurs, nevermind what is actually happening in the game. (Accidental lynching is still possible if a player is unlucky enough to randomly get the requisite number of votes needed for a lynch.) Additionally, because of Insomnia, all the other players will recieve rather badly written PMs (possibly after being put through Babelfish in English-to-Korean-to-English). Oh, and there will be *no* nightphases while Insomnia is around. When Insomnia is killed off, the game will return to some semblance of normalcy.

I wonder if any of the above made sense? Because waking up at 2:30 and not being able to fall back to sleep on a saturday morning is making me see stuff.

[Shanba]

You are a

Jester Death Miller

!

Double the bastard mod fun

Also, Mirth, Insomnia is hilarious.

[xyzzy]

You are

a frightened deer

. You may not post if anyone is voting for you. You win if you survive.

[Yosarian2]

You are a

mafia cheater

.

You are scum with XXX. You will be given modding privlages in the game, and during this game, you will be allowed to edit, modify, or deleate posts made by anyone, including other players, so long as they do not contain a vote. You may not edit, modify, or delete posts that include a vote as part of them, and you can not edit a vote INTO anyone else's post, but any posts that don't include a vote in them are fair game. However, you may not edit mod posts.

You win when you and XXX have destroyed all other factions.

[Mafiaplayer]

A bastardmoddier version of a previous role idea of mine:

You are either a jester, survivor, lyncher, lover, serial killer, townie, or mafia, but you don't know which. If you are a mafia, then your scummates are x, y, and z. They know that you may or may not be mafia, and you cannot PM them, as you do not know you are Mafia.
Additionally, you must target someone each night. If you are not a SK, you will vig them, otherwise you will SK them. If you are a lyncher, then your target is x, but they are also your lover if you are a lover.
