I think you'd have to ask for every role to be "alignment neutral", since otherwise it can be broken with a massclaim ("Ok, so all the town's role have claimed... that just leaves the Suicidal Nonvoter Serial Killer").  Or else maybe get people to submit a town role, a mafia role and a third party role and then pick and choose them to make a good setup that can't be as easily broken (although in this case you'd have to tell each of the mafia/ third parties about a town role that didn't go into the game so that they aren't screwed by the claim).

EDIT: Actually maybe 2 town roles each, otherwise mafia could be screwed by being left with a falseclaim that has an obvious action which they can't perform.

In Org's game, it was just like a normal BYOR- you submit the idea and the mod makes the role.  You could always submit some sort of classification with the role to narrow it down but not rigidly define it.  (Something like Protective, Investigative, Killing, etc)

I'd definitely do alignment neutral, and random sounds like a plan. And wouldn't people only be sending in role names, not role powers? This would be Bring Someone Else's Role, not Make Someone Else's Role.

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.

Simply put:

BYOR except you're choosing somebody else's role instead of your own.

Oh right.  So I guess the best way to approach it is to look at other people's interests and pick things that other people would pick.  For no reason other than to cause further confusion.

So what if I submitted "Dariush" and Dariush got the role?

Or any other person really.

See the latest BYOR and Defcon to see what happens. "Lynch NUKE!" "No, don't lynch NUKE!"

I thought that was a clever bit of play- one that didn't even occur to me as I was making the roles.

I'm going to come up with a role that simply must be confusing for anyone else to use.

You mean something so obscure that the mod doesn't know what to do with it?

I am still sorely tempted to use Flandre as a role. Those are some very nifty abilities.

Also, minor fanboyism.

Since BSER is filling well, is there any objection to me putting up Bad Dudes Mafia for another try?

Since there is only one other game (Para 20) running, go ahead.
