Worst role ideas?

[shaft.ed]

You are a

Republican Senator

. Congratulations you have successfully obstructed more legislation in one year than any other session of Congress has in it's full two year term. If your vote is ever part of a lynch that goes through you will be mod-killed. You win if the town No Lynch's on any given day.

You could at least pick a language available on Babelfish...

Man Bablefish mafia would be teh awesome

This is a role I was planning on using for my eventually upcoming Monty Python Mafia.

You are

Bruce

.You're a philosophy professor at the University if Walamaloo. In order to prevent confusion you call everyone Bruce. This means you have a post restriction. You cannot use anyone's actual name in your posts. Instead you must refer to everyone in the game as Bruce, and don't forget to change your Quote tags. This applies to votes as well. If you break this restriction more than X times per day you will be mod-killed. Blatantly trying to work around this restriction (ie quoting someone and simply posting

vote:Bruce

) will result in a mod-kill.

You are a

Dead

.

Abridged for people on the go.

[shaft.ed]

Yes, Yos2 needs to make a game called Common Object Lycanthropy Mafia now. That role would be cool to see in use.

You are

Robert Mugabe

. Players may only vote for you. If they vote for someone other than you (or even suggest that they are considering doing so), you will daykill them. You win with the town.

Very funny and very sad at once. I think his win condition is wrong though.

[shaft.ed]

You are

Alberto Gonzales

. If anyone asks you a question you must answer "I don't recall." You win if you don't get lynched.

[shaft.ed]

You are a

Coder

. You must post entirely in Morse Code. If you are targeted for a Night Kill on any night you will be informed, an can send an S.O.S. to any player in the game to try to get help. In addition to their slected target, they will also target you and perform whatever action their role indicate.

[shaft.ed]

You are a

Suicidal gunman who

just can't do it

You really want to die, but you just don't have the cojones. So once per game you can give another person your gun with one round in it, giving them the ability to daykill once. You win only if they shoot you with your gun.

Suggested players: DGB

Actually this could work as a Hider-ish. Each night you give another player in the game the ability to kill you. You can infer innocence at least form the people that don't. If you claim your role you are removed from the game to undergo therapy (ie modkilled).

[shaft.ed]

I'd love to read that endgame between him and a Goon.

Goon: Oh, cool! I get to daykill the last player!

DAYKILL: Bob

Bob: Winner winner chicken dinner!
Goon:...

Doh I forgot to indicate that my rendition would be town aligned

[shaft.ed]

yes, but with the allowance for repeat targeting in case of tight end games.

[shaft.ed]

death miller cop

[shaft.ed]

That would actually be a fun one in an Open game.

intruiging suggestion

[shaft.ed]

What's the point of the exclamation mark post restriction?

Dogs are energetic.

Dogs can't talk

unless they're loldogs

O Rly?

You are the Neutralizer, aka Game-Killer. Every night you must target a living player. If the action succeeds, the targeted player will become a Neutral Survivor. You win with the town. Good luck; you'll need it.

YOU CANNOT SELECT THE SAME PERSON TWICE YOUR ACTIONS NEVER FAIL

Vi found a loophole and Max fixed it. Now I think it's a full-fledged Worst Role.

Not really, it's like a compulsive vig except it makes zombies.

I never thought of it like that.
THAT'S AMAZING

Or, wait, wait... Theoretically, couldn't the last Mafioso break from the team and win by claiming scum and getting Survivorfied?

Actually, the breaking strategy would be for no one to lynch or kill anybody until every anti town faction is turned into a survivor. This would be a really fun fakeclaim for a cult recruiter if the town were dumb enough to go along with it.

[shaft.ed]

As far as post restrictions go, how about a

Narrator

who is only allowed to post in third-person narrative, even when talking about themselves?

I'd rather call him

Bob Dole

[shaft.ed]

You are a

Conversation Killer

. Each time no one posts for 36 hours immediately after your post (excluding mod posts and thread locks) you score a point. You win when you have five points.

[shaft.ed]

You are

zwetschenwasser

. If you are not the last poster in at least 10 game threads and one game forum you die. You win when every last post in every active thread is yours.

[shaft.ed]

You are an

Endgame Jester

. You win when you are the final lynch of the game.

[shaft.ed]

A better role is a lightning rod like role that instead of redirecting all roles only redirects the one that you target. A redirect to self role. Anything that affects all roles is a bit overpowered.

Oooh, I kinda like that nhammen. "Distracting Townie/Goon".

I think shafted had both a town and scum of that in monty python mafia. Both were called French Taunter-Role Attractor despite being different alignments ><

ah good times.
Yeah that was a fun role to mod. Especially suited for power heavy games.

[shaft.ed]

You're a Doctor with no transportation. Each night you may try to get a ride from any player. If that player targets someone, you will protect their target. You win when you pay off your student loans and credit card debt.

[shaft.ed]

I like it too, it just wasn't a best role idea. And we don't have a mediocre role idea thread.

Student mafia sounds fun
