TAX wrote:Ashamed Lyncher- You are pro-town. If three people you voted to lynch were innocent you hang yourself.
I think this would better fit as a worse role idea. Its essentially a townie with a contious who kills himself putting the town even further behind then they were after 3 mislynches.
Still an interesting role I wouldn't mind using sometime, but I wouldn't call it a Best role. But since it hurts itself and the town it is a good role for bastard modding.

I look at it as similar to a stump, only it can only be activated upon death. Most effects of death still take place (most notably its effect on the player count), the mafia just won't be able to silence that person by killing him or her.
And it's not like I'd suggest anybody make an all-ghost town. It'd be one player, who very well might look at the role as sort of a weakened version of bulletproofing.
And TAX: I don't think it'd be of much use to the mafia.
hmm.. on that explanation i think it seems more favorable.
I think more information would come out of the idea if you reversed it though:
Disgruntled Spectre
You aren't human, you're a ghost that looks human. Jealous of the other spirits in the town who have true mortal houses, you aim to separate all of them from there bodies just like you've been. (The process involves a silver necklace, a crystal ball, and a large mushroom).
You are similar to an SK. Every night you separate someone from their body, excluding them from the tally that goes towards their faction, taking away their vote and other powers, and immuning them from being a target of any actions (except post mortem actions on your body). They can only speak.
Members of non-town factions immediately go to hell if separated. They have no voice.
It's always clear that any of your victims were not killed, but separated from body, because the uninhabited body is still breathing and performing basic survival functions emotionlessly.
You win when all other faction tallies reach zero.
Original idea- Moses le fou
You don't gain much information if a random towny can become a ghost. Since no one knew that was going to happen, you can't analyze the plusses and minuses of killing someone and leaving their voice. You technically could claim ghost, but all you would be doing is getting the mafia to NK possible power roles instead of you.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

We know how these roles become new roles when their predecessors go down.
Deputy (or Retired Cop)
- Should there be a cop in play and they die, you will become a cop and be able to investigate one person each night learning if they are mafia.
Nurse
- Should there be a doc in play and they die, you will become a doc and be able to protect one person each night from dieing to 1 kill.
Miller
- Will show up as guilty or scum to all Cop investigations
But Consider these:
Peeping Tom (or Sightseer)
- Should there be a watcher in play and they die, you will become a watcher and be able to watch one person each night learning who targets them.
Patsy (or Follower)
- Should there be a tracker in play and they die, you will become a watcher and be able to track one person each night learning who targets them
Grave Digger
- Miller Variant that will be seen as targeting any and all players that died during the previous night, by trackers and watchers.
And now some Mafia aligned Roles:
Mafia Undertaker
- Framer Variant that can makes it look like his target killed each player that died last night. He can choose any player each night.
Mafia Ninja
- Mafia Goon who can't be seen by trackers or watchers whenever he kills or somehow uses another action.

A Tracker or Watcher that always gets a No Result is Blind or

A Tracker or Watcher that saw a random result would be

A Tracker that sees people that performed actions last night target no one AND sees people that did not perform actions last night target
people that died last night
, would be an
Insane Tracker
.
If nobody died last night, then the insane tracker sees his Vanilla Target go to the insane tracker.
A Watcher that sees everyone that didn't use an action last night, target their watchee would be an
Insane Watcher
Tracker that always gets their trackee going to each player that died last night would be
Paranoid Tracker
. If nobody dies the paranoid tracker sees his trackee targetting the paranoid tracker.
Watcher that always gets everyone as going to their target would be
Paranoid Watcher

Each Night, you may choose a target and they will be protected from being lynched on the next Day. You may not target yourself. You win when only Mafia members remain or nothing can prevent the same.
It would have to be balanced a bit.

I like my Patsy tracker variant better.
Patsy:
You are Patsy, humble page boy to King Arthur. You are equipped with a coconut that allows you to transport a single person over large distances each night. Using your ability you can grant another player the power to track a second target. Your request should be formatted as “I want PlayerA to track PlayerB.” Note that you cannot be either the tracker or the target of tracking for your night action.

Yes but the proper name for your variant was whispering tracker. I mentioned that in the game many times since I had seen a whispering tracker before playing in Monty Python's Flying Circus Mafia
Meanwhile the general term patsy outisde of the holy grail is follower or sidekick which would fit better for a full tracker that picked up where you left off. Can you think of a better name for a guy that becomes tracker after the last one died?

. At night you can allow someone to visit any location so that they may admire anything the may want. Basically you can allow one player to "watch" another player at night and let them see anyone who also goes there.

You are L. Ron Hubbard. You win with the Church of Scientology. Every night, you select two people. Both of these people will join your cult.
You are Anonymous. Every night, you kill one member of the Church of Scientology, at random, other than L. Ron Hubbard. You cannot join the Church of Scientology.
- You may investigate any player at night in order to learn if they are scum via an inocent or guilty read. You know that you are sane but if you are targeted by a doc your results for that night could be wrongly influenced.You win with the town when all scum are elimnated. Good luck.
Mod Notes -
if Cop is protected from a kill, his result will be paranoia
if Cop is protected and not targeted for a kill, his result will be naive

that is a really awesome role. It adds nifty layers of wifom and neuters the cop+doc combo.
That is how the original newbie game setup should have been fixed!

What does "protected from being lynched" mean?
If the town gets to a lynch on the person, does the day end and the lynch fail, or does that guy just not get lynched, or does the mod announce "Elmo can not be lynched today!"?
If it's the second or the third, it's probably balancable. The first would probably be too strong.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
Admittedly when I thought of the role I was thinking of the first or second, but in retrospect I think the third is best.

I like it. -.-
Should be noted that just like shaft.ed's tracker in MPM the tour guide does not know what his tourist saw if anything.

(note: theft and cheap whores are the two things most often associated with the Gypsies of Hungary, so interpret this any way you want )
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.
I really like the name and the idea of a traveling gypsy. Perhaps there is a way we can word the pm to be like overworked intern or some kind of traveling role blocker or jailkeeper
Of since the thief role can investigative perhaps this role somehow investigate and role blocks. Learns what you are by fucking you. All that matters most if how you wierd a role. You can name something pretty much anything and it can do practically different things. I think Seol ran a game with alot of those

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.
Is it a Best Role or Worst Role? I can't even figure it out myself.
