Syndicate's Grand Idea Thread

#1

Similar to MS and MU versions. Create a role or write a known standard one and post it here.
Sometime in the future, I'll host a game with roles taken from this thread only.

Let me start

Town Security Guard

Each night, you may target a player. That player will learn whoever else targeted them.

#2

Town Crusader

Each night, you may visit a player to protect them from attacks.

You will attack one of your target's visitors (chosen at random) as well.

#3

Mafia Izanoomi

You may rename the name of this role if you get it just for the game you are playing it.

Twice per game, you may choose a target during the day and cast “Izanoomi” on it, trapping the target in an eternal time-loop in its own mind. During the day the target will only be able to post the same last post it posted to the thread the previous day, except for the vote (if there was one). The target may vote as it normally would but always accompanied by the same post referred to in this role description.

And every night it’ll perform the same action it was targeted by from the night he was trapped with the Izanoomi, against a random non-mafia player. The target will not be informed of this. If it's a killing action and the random player is already dead, your target will still attempt the action but fail.

The curse will automatically be lifted upon your death.

#4

Town Computer Mouse

Hover: Each phase, you may hover over a player to receive a general summary about what that players role/alignment is all about.

Click: Each night phase, you may click on a player to find out their full extent of their role.

Dead? When you are dead, you are not actually dead. You missing batteries. If someone can gift you batteries, you will come back to life.

Town or Mafia Jack-In-the-Box

The first player to target you with anything (factional kill or not) will die upon completing their action. This doesn't work if they were prevented from completing their action.

#6

Battery Giver

You win when you have given batteries to all the different alignments in the game, and you still alive.

Each phase, you may gift a battery to another player in the game. If there are 5 or less alignments in the game this becomes an each night phase ability.

Your Batteries Types:

-Charged Batteries give a player 1 shot extra vote (may gift 3 of them)
-Poison Batteries poison their target for one phase (may gift 2 of them)
-Retro Batteries make your target talk in 90s slang (may gift 3 of them) (this one may be regifted after one day of talking in 90s slang)
-Sticky Batteries make your target stick whoever they target with abilities causing them to live or die with the target. this ability chains over time. (may gift once)
-Batteries - these have no special ability (may gift 4 of them)

Sticky Battery Message - You have been targeted by someone who has a stick battery in their possess. Anyone you now target will also be connected to you via sticky battery and live and die with you.

Your new optional wincon is: optional game ending Sticky Battery Wincon - Have everyone alive in the game be connected via a sticky battery

Town Immeasurably Reckless Soldier With A Secret Stash Of Toys

You possess the following inventions. You may only use/give one each night. You cannot both use an ability and give an invention on a single night. Unless otherwise specified, you have a choice of either using a particular invention or giving that invention to someone else. Once you use an invention, you can no longer give that particular invention away.

a) 1-Shot M61 Vulcan: Once per game, you may target a player. You will attempt to shoot the player. Your shot is bulletproof piercing, going through any and all protections. If the target is visited by anyone else, you'll vanillalize them for the rest of the game.

b) 1-Shot Night Vision Goggles: Once per game, you may target a player. You will attempt to watch and track that player ignoring undetectable statuses that they may have.

c) 2-Shot Bomb Detector: At night, you may target a player. You will attempt to detect whether it carries bomb items or if they have bomb related roles and how many (Items or shots). Then the following day you may trigger those bombs killing their carriers.

d) 1-Shot Nikita: At night, you may self target. If someone visits you the Nikita will lock and shoot its missile to them, killing them and two more targets sharing a PT with them (Scum chats, Neighborhoods, Mason chats, Cult Chats etc). If you use this shot and nobody visits you, you will lose it regardless.

#8

Mafia Muting Gunsmith

The Gunsmith may each night pass a gun to another player in the game. Guns received from the Gunsmith can only be fired during day phases and have a 50% chance of revealing the shooter. Gun’s shots mutes the target the following night preventing him from talking in any private chats or submitting night actions to the host.

#11

Town or Mafia Hero

Once per game, you may either:

-Kill someone during day or night. This ignores protection.
or
-Survive a day-kill or night-kill. This is automatic, but can be ignored by abilities that ignore protection.

In any case, the host will post what happened (such as you surviving a night-kill or you killing a person during the night) as you are a Hero. You cannot be prevented from using these abilities.

#12

3P deja vu

If someone visits you when your flashlight is on but is a confirmed member of the Town, remove 18 fear counters. If someone else visits you as well, nullify this but don't gain any additional fear counters for any reason.

If someone tries to kill you when your flashlight is on, you do not get killed, but 30 fear counters are added.

If someone visits you when your flashlight is on but is unconfirmed, add a fear counter. If this player is scum, add 8. If this player is third party or alien or werewolf or otherwise monstrous (mod discretion), you will be notified with the message

If you see It again, you will die of fright.

If a player has 21 or more fear counters at the start of a night phase, they will receive a message saying, "It can sense your fear."

Players will not be told how many fear counters they have. Instead, the players will receive a random creepy message each night, like "You feel like you are being watched" (mod discretion). Unless you have your flashlight on and you lost fear counters that night, in which case you'll instead receive a happy or reassuring message.

You win if you have less than 20.8 fear counters and are alive at the end of the game.

#16

Town Or Mafia Coinflip

Once per game during night, you may give all night-actions a 50/50 of failing.

#17

Blind Dog

You follow your nose because it’s all you’ve got.

3p Pizza Delivery Driver

At the beginning of the game, all players will be divided secretly by the host into pizza topping preferences, so that each player loves one type of topping, and is allergic to another type of topping. (There should be pizza toppings equal to 1/5 the player count, rounded up. i.e. 22 players = 5 toppings)

Each night, Pizza Delivery Driver visits a player with a two-topping pizza (your choice of toppings).
If one of those toppings is desired by the target, it is a successful delivery and they will be roleblocked that night.
If none of those toppings are desired by the target, they keep the pizza but are unsatisfied with the delivery and the Delivery Driver will start the next day with 1 extra vote against him.
If the target is also allergic to one of the toppings, they will die at the end of the following night [unless they are healed in some form before then].

You win if you successfully deliver pizzas to 4 different people. (This number can change for balancing purposes)

#27

Mafia Stalker

The Stalker can once per game target a player at night. Once selected, the Stalker will track that player every night until either the Stalker or the target dies. This action is unblockable and also immune to redirects, except on the night that the Stalker first uses the ability.

#28

Mafia (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
(Tablefipper)

Once per game during the day, randomly re-assign all items currently held in the game.

#29

Psychopathic Bus Driver

Every night you may bus/switch two players. Actions targeting your first and second targets will instead be redirected onto the other (ex: a protection ability on target A will be redirected to target B and vice versa) for that night.

If you self-bus onto another player, and that player either:

-Voted you in the last day phase (Only votes at end-of-day count)
-Used any sort of day ability directly onto you in the last day phase
-Is using any sort of night ability onto you in the same night you are self-busing

they will die (regardless of redirection abilities) as well as causing the usual swap/redirection effects.

You win and immediately leave the game if you either:

-Kill at least 5 players via self-bussing under the conditions above.
-Are alive when the game has 5 or less players and having killed at least 2 players.

#30

Town or Mafia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(shrug)

By the end of the first day phase, you may select to be either:

-Permanently immune to any and all night abilities, including beneficial ones. Exception is given for abilities that only protect and factional night-kills.

-Permanently immune to any and all day abilities, including beneficial ones. Votes against you will always count for one regardless of vote-based abilities.

#31

Town Animal Balloon

For each vote you receive without being lynched, you accrue an “offvote” total. If you are ever lynched with fewer votes than your “offvote” total, you POP! and remain in the game only as a Stump: for all intents and purposes dead with no vote power, but can post like a regular player until game end.

#32

Mafia Cannoneer

The Cannoneer will each night passively allow the mafia to abstain from shooting to store their factional nightkill and use it another night. If the Cannoneer dies, all stored nightkills are lost.

#33

Mafia Neighborizer

The Neighborizer may each night target a player, which will recruit them into a Neighborhood, allowing everyone within it to communicate with each other outside of the game thread. Once added to the Neighborhood, a Neighbor will stay there permanently (until they die).

#34

Mafia Shapeshifter

The Shapeshifter may each night target a player. If the Shapeshifter dies, they will be revealed with the role and alignment of the player they last targeted at night.

#35

Town alignment Cop

#36

Mafia Thesaurus Bomber

During the day, if you ever post the following words, you explode killing yourself:

Tinfoil
Positive
Negative
Werewolf
Villager
Copypasta
Suspicious
Universe
Twilight
rand

If someone ever quotes you and replies using one of those words, the player dies instead.

The host will announce the death as "Someones posted a forbidden word and died".

The following night, you may change five words from the list.

New words, may not be 6-letters or shorter.

#37

Town Death Screamer

If you are killed during the night, the role name and alignment of the killer will be announced to the thread at day start but not the name of the killer.

#38

Town Martin's Coroner

Each night you may investigate any dead player. You will learn:

-What their role and alignment was at the time of their death.
-Whether their death was intentional or not (If the killing ability or effect was not redirected onto them, then it was intentional)
-Whether the killer's alignment was Town, Mafia, or otherwise.

If you investigate a player that died due to end-of-day votes: You will instead learn whether any of the votes against them had counted for more than 1 and which votes those were. You will still learn their true role and alignment if the role flip was altered.

If you are for some reason forced to target a living player with your ability, you will kill them and then be turned into a Vanilla Town.

#39

Martin's Witch

Every night you may manipulate a player into targeting another player with their role's ability, regardless of requirements unless it makes no sense (ex: using a daytime vote-based killing ability during the night). You can force self-targets.

Anyone you manipulate will be informed that they were manipulated. If you manipulate a player who is committing a factional kill, you will manipulate the factional kill instead.

You are immune to any and all investigation checks (producing no result) except for alignment checks (in which case you will be revealed to be a third party). You will not be seen visiting or targeting anyone, ever.

Your day vote is almost always worth 2. It may be affected by vote-altering abilities.

You win if the Town loses either while you are alive or a full cycle (day + night phase) after your death.

#40

Town Scent Tracker

If a player has been delivered a pizza, the deliciously greasy, tomato-y smell of it will linger on their person for the rest of the game. You can only track players who have a scent. Once per Night you may target a player. If that player has a scent, you will find out who they visited at Night. If they do not have a scent, you will receive "no result". (This is distinct from a "your target visited no one" result, but not distinct from the message given if the player is roleblocked.)

(The host may add additional things that could give a player a scent, if needed.)

#41

Town Communication Cop

Once per Night, you may choose a target to find out whether or not they currently have out-of-thread communication with one or more other players.

#42

Mafia Ascetic

Any actions directed at you during the Night, aside from kills, will automatically fail.

#43

Mafia Yeet Trickster

If you are the last voter on your own wagon you don’t die.

#44

Town Purist Vanilla

You have no special abilities and never will. You are immune to conversions, inventors, gun givers, item givers, fake gun and item givers, money givers etc. No matter what happens during the game, you will be 100% pure vanilla.

#45

Town or Mafia Elimination Vigilante

(note: You can change "Elimination" to whatever you like such as Chop)

Once per game you can select for someone to be eliminated during the day. This will occur at end-of-day, counts as if it was a usual elimination, and does not consume the town's normal day elimination. Day-kill immunity does not prevent this from occurring unless such immunity includes elimination immunity or protection.

#46

Town or Mafia Bouncy Ball

All kills targeting you, except for factional kills and kills by day vote, will be randomly redirected onto someone else.

This can be role-blocked for a single phase at a time.

#47

Demon Vote Stealer

Demon is an alignment that can only win with groupscum aligned parties that share a PT and can only have passive/reflexive roles.

On odd days, you will steal the vote of whoever votes against you during the day, not only removing the vote against you in question but also gaining that amount of vote for yourself for that day.
I.e Player X votes against you on Day 1, the vote will not be counted, Player X will lose his ability to vote for that day and you will become a double voter, and so on for every player that votes against you.

You are macho every night, meaning you can't be protected.

#48

Fulfiller T-Veronica

Fulfiller is an independent alignment whose win condition is tied to fulfilling a mission. If such mission is not fulfilled for whatever reason, they lose. If fulfillers rand vanilla the mod may assign them another alignment (or a Fulfiller attached to a role with no special Fulfiller mission gets a mission from the moderator).

T-Veronica may each night target a player, putting a spell on them. If that player dies during that night or during the following day phase, they will be resurrected as a zombie. Zombies cannot post or vote or have any actions done to them, but each zombie gives T-Veronica one extra vote. If T-Veronica ever has enough votes to outnumber all other living players, they will win and leave the game. Zombies retain their original win condition and regain consciousness after T-Veronica wins or dies.

#49

Demon Illuminati

As long as you are alive, all town and fulfiller dead flips reveal as mafia aligned. Nothing can prevent this.

(Demon is an alignment that can only win with groupscum aligned parties that share a PT and can only have passive/reflexive roles.)

#50

Town or Mafia Watchman

Every night you may watch someone. You will learn whoever visits them for that night. However, if they are targeted by any sort of kill, it will be redirected unto you and you will die regardless of protection.
