Bring Your Own Role Mafia. Basically, you pick the name of your role, and I pick how it acts and interacts with other roles. Any name shall do, and if it is obscure, a link to a data source might help. ...But please not TOO obscure.
This is otherwise known as U-Pick. I shall do my best to insure playability and avoid broken games. I will not guarantee this, as I'm slightly action-crazy with roles. Oh well.
If you're looking for a crazy game, this is the game for you. It goes beyond the impossible. Twice, sometimes. If you wish to avoid craziness, I suggest you don't join. You have been warned. If you wish to learn about this craziness, I'd suggest looking at BYOR 4, perhaps one of the greatest BYORs played. My hope is to make a game of that caliber.
Therefore, let's play!
As for rules:
PMing: Disallowed unless Role Allows
Hammering: Semi-Allowed (Hammer ends Day, Days are timed [72 Hour Days, 24 Hour Nights, Weekends do not count in that])
Extensions: 48 Hours, Requires more for than against
Quoting Mod: ALWAYS Disallowed
Editing Posts: ALWAYS Disallowed
Grade: C- or Better [Ns allowed!]
Along with never under- or over-estimating your own significance.
AND PLAY TO WIN!
And, send your role in when you sign up! Please provide a Wikipedia link (NO VIDEOS/50-PAGE ESSAYS [SOMEONE ALWAYS MISSES THIS!]), if obscure. Or a description, if you're feeling extra keen that day. I do enjoy descriptions, and it makes making your role much easier. Plus, you could pretty much slant it towards a role you would prefer, but I'm just saying...
Please note that sometimes I make your role slightly more or less powerful than average. Please note that this may be intentional, or
it may be you over or underestimating your role.Players:
