A compulsive hider that follows hider rules, except that if they hide behind someone of the same alignment as they are, they will kill their target instead.

Named Mafia Traitor

Night 0/1 choose one player to stalk. Every night thereafter receive watcher/tracker on your original target so long as they are alive.

Night 0/1 choose one player to stalk. Every night thereafter receive watcher/tracker on your original target so long as they are alive. Every day, you may lie detect one post your stalking target has made in that day.

(alignment chosen by moderator)

The first two times on day 2 that a player makes a statement about the game (role assignment, night actions, etc.) that could be verified as false by a hypothetical backup moderator, you will be informed by PM that the post in which it was made contains a false statement.

Wins if every living person has made a claim of their role ("i am a vig"/"i have an investigative power"/"i am third party" etc) by day {roll 6 sided die}.

As long as you are alive, all players are Hated except while you're voting for them.

I'm pretty happy to have found such a simple way to word this role. Especially as this variant isn't pure upside, as players may be able to figure out who the Hammerer is by elimination, and because it doesn't ruin lylo.

Abilities

Night Action

Extended Research:

Target someone. You get returned a list of the actions they performed, a list of the people they targeted, a list of the actions performed on them, and a list of the people who targeted them.

(alignment chosen by moderator)

Twice in the game, during the day, you can request the moderator to let you know how many distinct win conditions exist among the players alive in the game.
(Two players' win conditions are the same if those players will inevitably both win or both lose, e.g. "You win when all other players are dead" is a different win condition on each player who has it.)

(alignment chosen by moderator)

Possible sanities are Sane, Insane, Paranoid, Naive, as usual. The moderator chooses a sanity at random.

(alignment chosen by moderator)

You can protect up to one player at a time from daykills. Let the mod know by PM if you want to change the player who you're protecting (you'll continue protecting that player until you start protecting someone else, and you can change as often as you like).

What do people think of my little "flavor text" snippets?

You have no special abilities.

It's amazing how much this thread grew. The thread has nearly doubled in size since my first post less than a year ago. I got some things to do in my ISO to rebalance some role ideas, and I'm also gonna try to add some not so wicked overpowered roles to the setup; let's strive to improve this thread to offer a slightly more reasonable setup.

You passively disallow ALL private threads to talk during the day on certain days determined in the setup/design phase.

Moderator Notes:

Usage:

The moderator should flip 8 coins. Alternatively, one can just use the dice tag with 8d2. If the coin lands on heads (or the die result is 1), then day talk (for ALL private threads including factional threads) is allowed for that day. If the coin flips tails (or the die result is 2), then day talk is disallowed for that day.

I agree that this thread has gotten way larger, it's even grown like 500+ posts since I started peeking in (okay, I made over 150 of these posts, but I'm addicted) and I've looked into my ISO a bunch of times already, though I guess a few toxic roles of mine need to be replaced. I'd like to keep this game balanced too from the roles written down in the thread rather than having to policy-reroll those or policy-replacing those by vanilla roles.
Let's make an effort to keep the game balanced.

(alignment chosen by moderator)

Most important thing to know is what the faction balance is like. I keep having to try to design roles that can fix up the faction balance (either using moderator-chooses, or via giving them special mechanics to help out smaller factions). Town/scum balance, at least, can probably be fixed up by generating more roles of whichever is underrepresented. (That said, with both overpowered and negative utility roles in the thread, it's hard to even know what town/scum balance would work best; some setups would be scumsided at 11:2, others townsided at 9:4.)

(Gets the VT PM.)

You initially flip as a Mafia Goon. 72 hours later or when any player reaches L-2, the moderator announces your actual (genuine) flip in thread.

Is told each night what category(s) of actions were performed on them that night.

I guess someone ought to conduct a census to see the alignment spread. It would be nice if we could get an automated too for calculating stuff like that, but we would probably get a lot of false positives.
