I haven't read through all 115 pages, so this might be a repeat:

You are a
not so innocent child!

-You may PM the moderator one name each night to kill.
-You will be Mod-Confirmed innocent at the start of the game, even though you are not.
-You win when you are the last player left alive or when nothing can prevent the same.

I don't think there's any setup where it would be okay, but maybe I just haven't seen how bastard the bastard setups get.

There'll be another chance to run a worst role game. I only found this topic off a link from your Worst Role Mafia post. :(

Also

You are the
Time Travelling Townie

-You may edit your posts in the game thread
-If you remove a vote by way of edit, you must tell the moderator in a PM. That vote will no longer be counted as of the next votecount.
-You may undo a hammer, even in twilight, but once a player is dead, they cannot be saved.
-If you die, you may no longer edit your posts.
-You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

You are the
Bulletproof Lynchproof Triple-Jester

-You cannot be killed at night.
-The first two times you are lynched, you do not die.
-You win if you are lynched three times.

Nope! All the town sees is that the lynch didn't work.

There is a different between "wacky swingy as fuck bastard modding" and "FUCK THE PLAYERS bastard modding." The latter will get you run off the site. Please learn the difference sooner rather than later.

This is the
worst
role ideas thread. It's for roles that are too awful to ever be put into a game (besides a Worst Roles game, which the players know what they're in for if they sign up). There are plenty of "wacky swingy" roles that are good, and conversely, there's the Survivor, which is about as un-bastard as it gets but is still awful - perhaps even too awful for a Worst Roles game.

Got one so unquestionably terrible it's not fit even for a Worst Roles game.

You are a
Mute Voteless Survivor
.
-Your posts cannot consist of anything besides votes
-While you may vote, your votes will not appear on votecounts and do not contribute to a lynch
-You win if you are alive at the end of the game

Another blatantly disruptive third party that both contributes nothing to the game and has no hope of winning:

You are a
Heretic
.
Your must get the moderator lynched. The moderator's name will not appear in votecounts, and people voting for the moderator will appear as their last vote (or Not Voting, if they unvoted first), however, if the moderator reaches majority, s/he
will be lynched
and the game will end in your victory.

No. Officially, the game is "Abandoned," but the heretic wins. I guess the backup mod could take over if there is one.

You are a
Death Sensor


When you are lynched, the moderator will announce how many non-town players were on your wagon and how many were off.

You win with the town.


It's a town-aligned jester. I think the optimal play with this role is to claim D1 and convince the town to quicklynch you. ...Also makes it a cool fakeclaim for real Jesters.

Revised version:
You are a
Part of the Whole
. If you are killed in any other game you are playing in, you will immediately be killed in this game.

Still breaks the "Talking about ongoing games" rule, only now it goes the other way. If someone believes your claim in Worst Role, but thinks you're scum in Other Theme Game, they might not want to lynch you there. I think that makes it the
worst
worst role, because its consequences reach far outside the game it's in.

That's not nearly as Worst, though.

Can the good Genie grant wishes, or do the wishes do nothing except for wishing the genie free?
