Well, you have a 50/50 chance as long as you don't get NKed.

You are a
Russian Roulette Player
. You start off with a revolver and a box of bullets. On Night one, you put one bullet in a chamber then pull the trigger twice, once for yourself, and once for another player. Each night another bullet gets added and another player gets added to the list. You win if you survive to the end of the game.

(No doc in game, 24 players).

The Russian Roulette role would be less than a 50/50. Since most revolvers are 5 or 6 shooters, so by night 3 you have much less than a 50/50 chance if you live that long. Woud be fun to try though.

and so I don't feel like I'm spamming:

Congratulations! You are
an Alarm Clock
. Each night, whenever you choose, you must send the mod a PM that says "
Ring
". If you fail to do so you will be thrown out and replaced by a Clocky. You win if you complete the game intact.

Mod Note: This role is a sort of universal roleblocker, but does not know it. The night automatically ends after the Alarm Clock has rung. Any actions sent in after, even if only by a couple of seconds, are invalid. The Alarm Clock has a 50% chance of being smashed into a wall by each person it happens to interupt in their night action.

An overabundence of sleep dependent roles? Yup. Because the night sky is so lovely at 3 am.

What about a
Paranoid Bus Driver
? He would have to switch the 'seats' of all players in the game.

You are
a giant headache for the moderator
. All players' night actions will affect a random player who used a night action, except they won't affect a player who used a night action targeting the player who used the night action unless that player was the night action's original target.

You are a
Time Traveller with Uncontrollable Teleportitis
Each night, you are teleported either forward or backward. If you are teleported backward, the entire game reverts back to its state at the beginning of the day. If you are teleported forward, it will be a full night cycle later.

Bastard Mod note--- the other players will not be told that this role exists. If the timetraveller moves forward, all night actions for that night go through, a random player is lynched the following morning, and the thread is unlocked the following night for a new set of night actions. If the player travels backwards, than any night actions are undone and the previous day's player is unlynched. The time traveller does not know that there is a random chance he may screw up reality by killing his own mother and thus making it so he never played.

Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew

Better as a pro-town role...otherwise he dosn't care who he's shooting. As a pro-town role, who has to pick people to shoot and who knows he's almost certanly eventually going to shoot himself, it'd be pretty cool I think.

Congratulations! You are
a box of Belgian chocolates
. You are a survivor with no unique powers. You must roleclaim the first time anyone votes you.

Bastard mod note: Other players in this game include Kid in a Candy Store, Women on PMS, Hypoglycemics, Man in Search of a Valentine's Day Gift for his Girlfriend who is Pissed Off at him, Gourmet Chef Missing Ingredients for his World Famous Chocolate Mousse, Teenage Girl After a Breakup, Diabetic That Hasn't Eaten Anything Yet Today, Garfield the Cat, and Mirth. They all have one shot dayvig abilities, but only on the box of Chocolate, wherein they type
Eat:player
.

As you can tell I'm holding off until Friday to buy more candy because it will be all cheap then and going into withdrawl. (Can't wait til Easter...I crave Peeps...)

Best case scenario the roulettist kills 20 people before he kills himself. Worst case he pops himself in the face Night 0/1. It's suppose to be a bad role idea though... >.> stop trying to make it useful.


You are
Aono Tsukune
! You are the only human in the game, and most of the monsters want to kill you because the rest of the monsters are girls who love you for some strange reason. Each night one of your friends, a vampire named
Moka Akashiya
, will suck your blood every morning making your first post of the day incoherent babble, and then you are not allowed to post for a full 5 hours after that post. At night she injects blood back into your body making you into a super vampire hybrid and you can spend the night beating the crap out of a player of your choice and are unnightkillable. You win with the town.


Mod note: If Moka, Yukari Sendo, Kurumu Kurono or Mizore Shirayuki dies after 3 injections from Moka, then Tsukune becomes a horrible ghoul and kills everyone in the town and then himself, everyone loses. If all of them survive to night 5's injection, then he still turns into a ghoul and kills everyone, but this time he cries himself to sleep in a corner cutting his wrist with a rusty spoon instead of killing himself (he still loses).

Oh, it's still a bad role the way I changed it; it's just a bad role that some sadistic basterd might actually want to put into a game. :twisted:

Cop with a Tazer: You will roleblock whoever you target if they are a townie, and have a 25% chance of killing them. If they are Mafia. then you will die. You will die if you don't target someone each night, as your tazer will go out of control and kill you. You win with the town.

To be fair, I'm exhausted. That and the Diabetic would go into diabetic shock after eating the chocolate because thats too much sugar.

You are the suicidial survivor. You when if you survive. You cannot be stopped from committing suicide night 1. Have fun!!

Alternatively:
You are the daykiller. You can daykill people. Your win condition is that x is dead.

Heh, I kinda gave that to KingEnigma in Simpsons. (I glitched his role PM, accidentally sending him every role in the game, and obviously had to apologetically tell him he couldn't play.)
I think it's pretty clear that TSS's awesomeness did alter the roles each of us recieved, and thus he's obviously pro-town. -- Save The Dragons

You are the
Omniscient Mafioso
.

The setup of the game is: <attach game setup, obviusly without role allocations>

You are scum with X and Y. You can talk with them at night, and between you submit a kill on any one player. You win when all players who are not scum are dead.

The idea being that the worst role here is anyone who's town. 8)

That said, I'm working on a game where that role both fits and is nicely balanced...
