Role- Mad Scientist-

A Mad Genius obsessed with time travel.

-Neutral Benign?-

The goal-- of the mad scientist would be to survive long enough to complete his time machine, and use it successfully. details, are up for debate on how this should be done; whether or not he should have to investigate houses to find parts, or just survive long enough. Hide the parts in random houses etc. Then have the game generate a list of objects needed. So if there is a game where a certain role doesn't appear, that impossible to acquire item won't fuck up the scientists game. (Obviously can't win with anyone. So only way to get a win is to complete his work.)

Also, some kind of one time use protective item would probably be okay, to balance out the lengthy amount of time it takes to assemble the machine. He is a Mad Scientist after all, paranoid as all get out, and smart enough to cook up some nasty defenses.

Ability- Temporal Oblivion -  Once Time machine is completed the sun button will appear. Once pressed, it will restart the game. Everyone will switch names/roles, besides the mad scientist. Having been inside the blast radius, the Mad scientist will be dead.

It would be an interesiting notion, because everyone would have to act like the first game didn't happen, but they would all have preconceived notions about who everyone else was.There would be some whining if one side was close to winning, but I think that it would add another level to the game. The scientist wouldn't always complete his work, but when he did, it would be fun to sit and watch the game unfold afterward. Everyone getting a second chance, maybe doing things differently, and bringing about a different outcome. The goal of time travel, really.

Sherrif would say N/S

Investigator would say Loner type, possibly survivor/witch/MS

Consig- Obsessed with changing the past .- Your target must be the mad scientist.

Would obviously be a unique role, because having more than one could lead to games taking much too long.

All of the ideas are up for debate, but I think the main concept is sound. It would add a fun mix to the game, and people on the losing side would obv try and help the MS complete his mission, thereby giving their side, which may not be their side afterwards, a second chance. A game that was thought to be lost because of one ignorant person, could theoretically be saved. Everyone deserves a second chance. :P
