[Fallacy] You know what we need? A role design thread. Or a 'write up a design for the previous person's role name, then choose a role name' thread.
[Fallacy] Hyperbolic Agitator.

Make up a role for the rolename the last person posted, then post a rolename of your own!

Hyperbolic Agitator (Town)
People often accuse your arguments of lacking nuance, but nobody can deny that they're convincing.

(Night) Literally The Worst [t]: Target inspects as Mafia tonight. They lose their vote tomorrow.
(Night) Literally The Best [t]: Target inspects as Town tonight. They have an extra vote tomorrow.
(Night, 1-shot) Literally Perfect [t]: This night only, target becomes bulletproof, ascetic, unblockable, unredirectable, and unfalsifiable.

Desert Bus (Survivor)
You're in this for the long haul

(Auto) No Air Conditioning: any abilities used on you take effect twice.
(Night) Slight drift to the right [t] [t/s]: If the first target would stay home tonight, a random targetable night ability of theirs is used upon the second target or yourself.
(Auto) Faulty Radio: You have a 50% chance to learn the name and owner of any abilities that affect you.
(Auto) (1-shot) Insurance: You cannot lose while this ability retains charges. If you are dead at the end of a phase, you revive and lose a charge of this ability.

It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Wood-in-Steak (Cow Tipper Hunter)

(Night) Where did you get that weapon? Woodn't you like to know?: Kill 1 player. That player flips as a Cow Tipper tomorrow. This kill cannot be roleblocked or protected against, but can be redirected.
(Day) What did the turtle say before they tipped? Cow-in-bonga!: Target Player is banished from the game until the night. They also become a Cow Tipper, in addition to their normal alignment, and cannot be targeted that night.
(Auto 1-Shot)When the meat ain't all it's cooked up to be. Surprise Steak Inspection: When you are killed or lynched, auto-revive. Also learn the hammer/killer's name and alignment, and give them a 1-shot copy of this ability. This ability is disabled if no Mafia remain in play.

(Status) Tipped the Cow: The most heifer of crimes. You now support the Mafia, and win when all Town eliminated. Your alignment displays as Cow Tipper.
*You still win under the Town condition. This status is lost if the Cow Tipper Hunter is eliminated.*

The Cow Tipper Hunter wins when X Cow Tippers have been killed. All other parties immediately lose. Note they must actually be Cow Tippers when killed, not framed as such. (This is effectively an anti-town role framed as a hunter role.) You do not lose if all mafia are eliminated, only if you are.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

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