Best Role Ideas?

[Jahudo]

That's strange. Someone has hacked into the system and erased whatever files used to be here.

You know I think we can still come up with something better and call it Romani. Give me some time and take tyour time and I'm sure we'll get something really good.

How about a miller with a hider or commuter power?

Is there a comparable role to the Jailkeeper (protect and roleblock combo) that is instead an investigative (flavor preferably or alignment) and roleblock combo? Maybe a Police Lieutenant or Chief of Police?

Maybe something like

Interrogator

, flavor-wise it makes sense that he would lock his target in a room all night and torture the information out of him. Hell, just call the role

Jack Bauer

.

[chenhsi]

You are god. Kinda. Your actually the moderator. That's close enough to god for you. Anyways, you are the Cult Leader. If a player votes for you, their win condition will be changed to "You win if the moderator survives the game."

You win if you survive to the end of the game.

What would happen if you change the moderator's win condition to that of a Jester's?

[PokerFace]

Copy of a role in one of Glork's games (I forgot exact game):

You are a

Millitant

. Get killed at night by scum or survive til the end of the game to win with any faction. Good Luck

A role of my own design:

You are a

Good-willed Jester

. You win with any faction by getting yourself lynched during the day only after previously lynching one player who was scum. You must have been on said players wagon when he was lynched. Good Luck

[Elmo]

(I forgot exact game)

Martyr Mafia

[Adel]

You are a

Spoilsport

. You win if you are on a wagon that lynches a townie in lylo or mislynch-and-lose

[xelada]

You are

Caterpie

. You desperately want to become a Butterfree at all costs.

During the day, if whomever you vote for is also lynched, even if you did not cast the deciding vote, you will gain experience and level up. You are currently level 5. At level 7, you will evolve into

Metapod

, gaining the ability to harden during the night, preventing you from any night kills. At level 10, you will finally evolve into

Butterfree

and fly away at dusk (at the end of the day in which you leveled up, but before nightfall). You win if you evolve into Butterfree. However, evolving into Butterfree does not end the game.

A WILD POKEMANIAC APEARED

You are

Weedle

.

During the day, if whomever you vote for is also lynched, and if you cast the deciding vote, you will gain experience and level up; also during the night you may poison someone,so the next night they die unless doc protected either night, this will gain you enough EXP to level up. You are currently level 5. At level 7, you will evolve into

Kakuna

, gaining the ability to harden during the night, protecting you from any night kills or use your poison ability that now can only be stopped if the target is protected the same they are targeted. At level 10, you will finally evolve into

Beedrill

making your poison so potent it can't be stopped; also you NK immunity has been replaced with the immunity to one NK in which the attacker is poisoned by your brand of poison. You win if you survive to endgame

[PokerFace]

(I forgot exact game)

Martyr Mafia

Wait, so it had the same title as Gurgi's new game and yet they have nothing to do with each other?! That actually strikes me as being funny.

[Elmo]

Yea, my first thought was, like, why did someone bump Glork's old game? Then, OIC.

[PokerFace]

When I mentioned that militant role I thought I had forgotten the name since Martyr Mafia was all that came to mind and I knew that was gurgi's game. Now I just find it funny

[na85]

You are a

Smoker

. A strange viral infection has caused you to become mutated and aggressive. Your increased strength and climbing ability allow you to escape from mobs, meaning you cannot be lynched. You are not bulletproof, however, so you can be night-killed.

Each night you may target one player to strangle to death with your tongue that shoots out from your mouth.

Unfortunately, your tongue and infected brain preclude any chance of communication other than wheezes and coughs. Therefore, you may not post. You win when all the humans are dead.

You are a

Boomer

. You were infected with a virus that caused you to swell and bloat. Each night you may vomit on a certain number* of players. Players that have been vomited on will appear guilty when investigated and will be flagged for watchers/trackers.

You win when all the humans are dead.

*Determined by the size of the game

You are the

Witch

. You sit around and cry all day because you were emo and nobody understood you, and then you got infected and NOW look at you, who would ever want to date you, how are you going to tell your parents, why should you tell your parents because they don't understand you, nobody understands you, you hate everyone and you just need to be left alone for some catharsis.

If, during the day, someone says something to offend you, startle you, bother you, etc. then that player dies the following night because you flip out at them and kill them in a rage of teenage hormones. Also you are crazy strong and can take multiple gunshots before dying. You cannot be lynched, only night killed by someone shooting you in the back of the head with a shotgun at point blank, thus earning the cr0wnd achievement. You win if they just leave you alone.

You are the

Hunter

. You excel at leaping long distances and making horrifying screaming noises. If a player is at Lynch minus two (L-2) you may leap onto the bandwagon and lynch them. Essentially you get two votes, but only if the player is at L-2.

You are the

Tank

. A serious case of roid rage, coupled with extensive zombification has left you nothing more than a pissed-off pile of muscles that wants to pulverize everything in sight. You have awesome theme music and can punch through walls.

Your massive size means that it takes a unanimous vote to lynch you (ALL players in the game must vote for you).

Once per night you may choose to kill a player by bashing their skull in or hurling a midsized sedan at them. Unfortunately, your enormous biceps do not lend themselves well to subtlety, so if you choose to use your nightkill it will be announced the next morning (i.e. "na85 threw a car at So-and-so, who was crushed like a bug")

You win if you are the last person standing.

You can be night-killed.

[Xdaamno]

Hm... if we were to do a Left 4 Dead game, I like the idea of having some kind of incapacitation mechanic.

[popsofctown]

I like beedrill.

[PokerFace]

You are an

NK-immune Miller Vig

. Each night you may kill someone. You can not be killed at night yourself. Anyone that investigates you will recieve a guilty result. You win with the town when all scum threats to its safety have been eliminated. Good Luck.

You are the

Town Godfather

. You are masoned with XXXX and YYYY. They have the same wincondition as you and you may chat with them at any time. Your group may kill one player each night. You can not be killed at night and always show up Guilty on investigation. You win when you eliminate the Mafia Conspirators or nothing can be done to prevent this. Good luck.

You, my friend, have won the thread. How would the role reveal to investigation?

[xelada]

You are a

Voltorb

. If you are lynched the person who hammers you is killed. If you are NKed the killer is killed as well. You have a 1-shot kill that can penetrate a docs protection.

You are an

Electrode

. If you are lynched the people who voted for you are killed. If you are NKed the everyone who targets you are killed as well. You have a 1-shot kill that also kills anyone who targets you and can penetrate a docs protection.

You are a

Ditto

. At night you can target someone and your role becomes that of the targeted.

You win by transforming then completing your new win condition.

[Mafiaplayer]

You are a

Death Godfather.

Your scumbuddies are x and y. You talk in z quicktopic. On your death, you will roll as town.

[Seraphim]

Death Godfather.

This is an actual role called Pillar of Society or Super Godfather or Corrupt Governor...or something along those lines. Even more bastardly than the normal Death Miller IMO.

Yep, thats the name I've seen for it on irc. It also is supose to be shown as inocent on night investigations if I'm not mistaken since death millers are shown as guilty to those

[xelada]

You are a

Neutraliser

. At night you may target someone, that person will have everything except there alignment, win condition and vote removed.

[SuperCop]

SuperCop. We play an F11 with an invincible Cop.

To offset the SuperCop, the Mafia has two shots at night. They send in the shots as Target A and Target B.

If either Target is the SuperCop, The other Target dies and the bullet bounces off SuperCop and has a 25% chance of killing any other player, including the Mafia players.

If neither Target is the SuperCop, Target A dies and there is a 25% chance that Target B dies as well.

If the SuperCop's votes reach the lynch majority threshold, nothing happens. Twilight does not fall, votes can still be added, and votes can be removed. Night does not fall - the Day remains the same.

We've had a lot of fun with it. Most games go down to a good endgame.

[Fenchurch]

Does the supercop always claim Day 1 and get proven innocent by a test lynch? Because it seems like this is the best play for them.

[PokerFace]

F11 can usually have a mafia roleblocker sometimes. Is that in the setup with the super cop?
Quote:

Otherwise Fenchurch is correct, you should have SuperCop claim day 1. Test lynch someone if anyone counters. Once real SuperCop is found, you can play follow cop to possibly find the only 2 mafiosos. I don't have all math figured out based on 25% double kills but there is still high chance town can win like that effectively

[SuperCop]

No, players usually don't want SuperCop to claim, as they don't want the scum to have one less target to choose from.

[SuperCop]

F11 can usually have a mafia roleblocker sometimes. Is that in the setup with the super cop?

Well, if there is a Doc, then there is a Mafia Roleblocker. So the Doc knows about the RB and the Mafia know there is a Doc if they have a RB.
We randomly choose from the two F11 configs that have a Cop.

Otherwise Fenchurch is correct, you should have SuperCop claim day 1. Test lynch someone if anyone counters. Once real SuperCop is found, you can play follow cop to possibly find the only 2 mafiosos. I don't have all math figured out based on 25% double kills but there is still high chance town can win like that effectively

Not sure I follow that. SuperCop would achieve what by coming out on day 1?
