Fungus: Once per night you can steal the votes of yourself until the next lynch.


That'll teach me.

It would be great to formalize a mafia game so that the on-the-fly roles work and you could have actual BYOR's fine. Unless you've already defined a game, roles, etc?

These are very amusing indeed.

My end goal is to give a weighting to each of the random elements, so that all the roles are sort of balanced (some with flaws etc.) so that someone could randomly generate a list, pick one they liked and send it to the mod.

This is ridiculously complex and hilarious. What happens if the Overeager Satan's target's target is the Overeager Satan?

This one is even better.

What I would like would be a game with all of the roles just randomly generated like that.

Overeager Subversive: Once per game you can kill yourself.
... roles as bad as this one...
Cult Azwolg: Once per night you can perform the same action as everyone targeting your target on yourself.
... as crazy as this one...
Vacuum: Twice per night you can give your vote to your target's target until the next lynch.
... as paradoxical as this one...
Cyborg: Twice per night you can delay the actions of your target until the end of the following night.
... and as good(?) as this one.

Seriously. I would play a game with roles completely randomly generated by that generator.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

The player just gets a message saying "Calm down Satan."

This is a good sign.

> Alpha Nonvoter: If someone targets you with an action which isn't a vote steal they will be given a piece of fruit.
Perfect.

> Vacuum: Once per night you can block all actions affecting your target's target.
I sense a problem with action resolution here...

> Insane Doomspeaker: Once per night you can swap this ability with an ability belonging to everyone targeting your target.
Multi-swap would also be a problem...


I have so little free time that I think I'll go indeed make a mock-up of a mafia game instead of playing Hearthstone (as much)...

Exactly, 100% agree. You could hold a "quick randomafia" session/tournament (?) when you finish/perfect your generator.

I like this one. The name is weird yet fitting.

Already randomly generated a role list I'm putting in my back pocket for now.

Reminds me of what we tend to do with Shakerag's roles.

Seems perfectly alright to me. You perform the action on your target, so your target as well as everyone else who wanted to target the same person your target did, all get blocked.

But, you targetted your target, so your action would be blocked, meaning that it never did anything to the target, which means it's not blocked

Target's target, not your target :P

It's an issue if your target self-targets, though...

No, not at all. You can either grant the action itself higher priority, or you can give the user block immunity. It's pretty easy to fix any issues like that.
