said by Exodus:Well, there was a lot of experimental roles. Either way, town could have done a lot better.
Since it was experimental.. How about some some feed back.
said by Exodus:Mafia Land Miner gameboyrom : Each night, you can arm one mine. These mines are detonated by a player saying a key word during the day phase. Once a player says that key word, they are dead and the mine is consumed. If you die, your mines go with you. Words must be at least 7 characters long and must not be a common mafia word or a players name and are subject to moderator approval. If you survive multiple days, it is possible to have multiple mines going at once. You may only communicate with your mafia partners. You win with the mafia.
Huge balance issue. Needs a counter mafia word bomber, or a limit. A potential day kill through duration is brutal.
said by Exodus:Mafia Puppetmaster TheRul : During the night, you can rig up strings on the player of your choice. For the next day, that player is not allowed to speak. If you want them to say anything, you must send the mod the exact words and the exact link you want them to respond to. The puppet is only free to vote and vote once per post. You can make them say whatever you want as long as it is not vulgar or insulting at moderator discretion. You may only communicate with your mafia partners. You win with the mafia.
Interesting idea, but I think it's been broken via self vote. Might work with vote control as well. Could be exploited to force a land mine.
said by Exodus:Mafia Radar Jammer AVD : Each night, you may target a player. If the player has any actions, the moderator will scramble their action/result into something favorable for the mafia if possible. You will not know what action the player has (if any), nor what happened. You may only communicate with your mafia partners. You win with the mafia.
Unsure.. I think in some cases might make the mod influence the game by determining outcome.
said by Exodus:Mafia Hitman aztecnology : You are unaffected by role blocks, bus drivers or protection roles. It is preferable that you are the one to perform the night kills. You may only communicate with your mafia partners. You win with the mafia.
Ninja variant.. Normally the most powerful mafia role.
said by Exodus:Mafia Spy Meningitis : When your team night kills a player, you may elect to not only perform Janitor actions on them (masks their role upon death), but take on their role abilities, however, you will still remain mafia. You can do this once and it is permanent. You will not know the role you are taking on until you have taken it. You may only communicate with your mafia partners. You win with the mafia.
Third Party Roles:
said by Exodus:Ultra Jester brian : Your sole purpose is to get lynched. Upon getting lynched, you shall inflict a series of inconveniences among the people who voted for you, based upon the order that they voted for you. You are not allowed to tell anyone that you are the Jester, nor the circumstances that will occur if you get lynched. If you manage to get lynched on Day 1, you will turn into a non-party reporter which will allow you to spread FUD through the moderator into the game. The players will not know it is you.
I like the penalties, but the FUD seems useless.. Why continue if you are out of the game?
said by Exodus:Zombie Leader Brom : You are a third-party zombie. You do not care about the town or the mafia. You care only about yourself. Each night, you can infect one player and turn them into a Zombie. The player will not know that you are their zombie leader. When a player turns into a zombie, they are unable to perform any role actions for the remainder of the game. If you die, all zombies are cured and they are back to their normal roles. You win when you and your zombies out number the rest of the players in the game. You win by yourself.
Still feel third parties should have max potential of ~20% initial size and then use wits to blend.
If there is attrition there should be a counter to cure, which might be interesting as that person needs to play zombie wack-a-mole, and probably be immune from recruitment.
Town Roles
said by Exodus:Defense Lawyer Dave15 : At night, you have the option to pick a player to defend. That player is unable to be lynched the following day. You cannot pick the same player consecutively. You also cannot role-claim or allude to your abilities. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Mod Note: Removed role-claim restriction on Day 6. Didnt make any sense.
Unsure.. seems weaker than the standard governor role.
said by Exodus:Cheer Leader tmodelt : At night, you have the option to cheer a player. If that player has a night action, they now have their night actions doubled if possible. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I like.
said by Exodus:Jesus Gbcue : Upon dying, you will come back to life in three days (if the game lasts that long). You are also given a one-time protect to use before death and once after death each. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I like.
said by Exodus:Doppelganger drew : Whenever a player is lynched, you gain a one-time usage of their role that must be used as soon as the role allows, if the role is capable of being cloned. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Typically a mafia role. Indifferent.
said by Exodus:Jack of All Trades ZandraBee : You have a one-time usage of the following abilities to be used at any time: Investigate, Shoot, Role Block, Bus Drive, Protect. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Standard role.
said by Exodus:Kristopher Gomez : You are a Kristopher. The first time someone role claims, you must also role-claim the exact same thing or you will be mod-killed. Players cannot know of your role. You must play and convince the town as if you are that role. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
MOD NOTE: (User is not told that they gain the persons ability upon role-claiming until after they claim.)
Interesting concept, but given the unknown part 2, probably not for reuse.
said by Exodus:You are the Towninator. Each night, you may choose any player and turn them into a generic townie for the following day and into the night phase. Their abilities return to normal the following day. Your affiliation does not change. You are not under any mod-secrecy restrictions.
Nice ad-hoc. Really turns in to a full cycle role block and a safety net for LoL vs third-parties.
said by Exodus:Necromancer navyet2sw : You may choose to revive one player that has died at any time. They will get their role back and can play the game, but you will die instead. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I like.
said by Exodus:Rock, Paper, Spock, Lizard, Scissors Chaplain : Each night, you may play Rock, Paper, Scissors with one player (through a mod). If you win, you have the option to kill them. If they win, they have the option to kill you. Submit the players name to the moderator and they will conduct the game. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I like.
said by Exodus:Lie Detector Antonica : Each night, you may submit one post to the moderator from the previous day to be evaluated by a moderator. The mod will report back if they are telling the truth. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I like.
said by Exodus:Lucky Cop ekster : At the beginning of each day, you will guess which player will be lynched. If you are successful, you get an investigation that night. You will put your guesses in at the beginning of the game for Day 1 and at night for each following day. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
[Mod Note]: Player not told. If he is unsuccessful in a single prediction and dies, all players he predicted will be announced and their affiliation announced with it.
Seems to convoluted.
said by Exodus:Reflector chlen : Each night, you can give a player a mirror. Any actions targeting them will bounce back at the targeter instead. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
I really like this. Although as mentioned in game, it can be used to form a bullet proof circle.
said by Exodus:Robot DrModem : You are a robot. You are given a vigilante shot to use at any time during the day. You must type SHOOT: PLAYERNAME in the thread to activate. If you are lynched, you come back to life as a moderator bitch the next day. You must do whatever the moderator says. Failure to do so results in a mod kill. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Mod bitch gives to much mod influence to the game.
said by Exodus :The Roleinator Jim7 : Each night, you will be told a random role in the game. You will not be told who has the role, only that it exists and the details of that role. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Randomized seer. Probably more interesting this way.
said by Exodus :Caffeine Junky Prevailer : You spend all day and all night drinking mountain dew. Because of this, you never sleep. Each night, you will see who targets you with night actions. You will not know with what actions you were targeted with. You may not privately communicate with anyone. You win with the town.
Renamed alert townie. take it or leave it.
said by Exodus :Chuck Norris Dezbend : You are a generic townie. If the mafia attempts to kill you at night, you will not only kick the killers ass, but the entire mafias ass. They will surrender to you and you will become their Godfather. You are afforded the same innocent investigation results as a normal Godfather. On top of that, when one of your mafia dies, you have the option of dumping your Godfather status to take on their role instead. This change is permanent. While town, you must play as a town member and cannot disclose directly, hinted, or indirectly, any knowledge that you may gain from this PM. You can try and get yourself killed if you want recruited, however. You win with the town until your status changes. You are not allowed private communication with anyone until your status changes.
This one in interesting.. I would think third party to force the game play.
