In this topic: The role list for Superb Idea Mafia. In each post, post a Town Role, a Mafia Role, and a Third Party Role. Roles can be anything, a normal thing like a Cop or a weird thing like a Compulsive Firebreathing Serial Killer Jester. For Superb Idea Mafia, a mod simply takes this thread, sets the number of Town/Mafia/Third Parties (recommended 6/2/1 for Micro Games), determines each player's alignment and then randomizes between 0 - last post number for each player. Player gets the role of their alignment in that post.
Players could potentially use this in the same way as Grand Idea Mafia and just random a post and then random 1-10 (1-6 is town, 7-9 is mafia, 10 is third party) to determine which role a player gets.
Blank, off topic, or incomplete posts are replaced with a theoretical
Town Cop
,
Mafia Godfather
,
Treestump Eliminator
post.
Spoiler: that post
Rules:
No Townies. Any Townies will instead be treated as a
Town Businessman
No Mafia Goons. Any Mafia Goons will instead be treated as a
Mafia Framer
Town must be Town. Mafia must be Mafia (not Werewolves or the like.) Third Party go crazy.
Doubles are allowed obviously.
If you post broken stuff I'm just not going to use them so up to you but yeah.
Roles that target other players are preferred but not required.
If you have ideas for more rules then just post about it (while posting roles.)
Unless otherwise stated, upon completing win condition, the third party player leaves the game and can joint with town or mafia.
Why:
So I can make a micro using this thread.
Grand Idea doesn't let me do this as easily.
Cause even if this is the only post I'm still making the game.
Cause one time I played Grand Idea and I got Vanilla Townie and I was very sad.
I don't imagine this'll outlive Grand Idea, once it starts to slow down to a stop I'll lock it.
Make a fun role list, go.

Town "Encryptor"
you must post using a different method of encryption each day, that you will describe to the moderator, if there is a rule against that, it doesn't apply to you
Mafia "Encryptor"
you must post using a different method of encryption each day, that you will describe to the moderator, if there is a rule against that, it doesn't apply to you
Conditional Bulletproof Troublemaker
you may each night bus drive two persons
if you didn't redirect any actions, you are immune to kills for the night
you win if you redirect four different actions

Idk if this will become as popular as GIM but I think this has a decent concept.

Trying to think of third party villains that won't cause town to potentially be double killed during night like a Serial Killer would -- for example, this one can only redirect the kill to mafia by protecting a strong town player in the process, which I imagine they will only try to do if mafia is threatening to win.
Are you interested in 3Ps that try to win on their own by eliminating everyone else, or would you prefer third parties in Superb Idea to always be the "Do X to exit game and win" type?

I have absolutely no preference, the only plan I have is to run it as a micro but that isn't to say serial killers and the like can't exist. Just wanted to see what ya'll would come up with.

Would all roles with "no special abilities" count as Vanilla? E.g. Chocolate Townie is disallowed

Rules say no Townies (of any kind) and no Mafia Goons, technically a vanilla third party is allowed

The "no vanilla Town or Mafia" rules as written currently forbid someone from posting an Ascetic Townie while allowing a Chocolate Mafioso (or Chocolate Goon if you prefer) to be posted. If the intent is to avoid Vanillas and Named Vanillas make them forbid "You have no special abilities.", if you want to ban functional Vanillas as well idk how to write it but someone will probably post a Multitasking Townie which will only matter in the case of Inventors or other ways to grant actions.

Supersaintizer sounds broken but it has the drawback of being less helpful after it is discovered that the role exists, as hammers will always be leashed from that point on. Additionally, mafia become informed of something everyone else doesn't know, which can be potentially used against them. However, it should be fairly rewarding to a team that is doing well to control eliminations.
