'''False Roles''' are [[Bastard mod|bastard]] roles that do not actually have any effects (including active, targeted, and passive effects).  
'''False Roles''' are roles that claim to have some ability, but the ability does nothing.  Depending on what the role is, the player can target someone, but it won't have an effect aside from showing up to roles like [[Tracker|Trackers]].


A [[moderator]] would include a role like this only when they are trying to create confusion and frustration among their players. It can be used with virtually any power role or other modifier as it negates everything and turns any role into a virtual [[Townie]] or [[Goon]]. Note that the [[win condition]] is unaffected by the modifier.  
For reasons that should be obvious, false roles are never listed as such.


Of course, moderators should never tell players that their role is false as it would defeat the purpose of the role. It is also impossible to have a '''False Vanilla Townie'''.  
Win Conditions cannot and should not be false.
 
==Variations==
Some moderators will not even consider who a player with a false role targets.  If a false [[Tracker]] targets someone, the moderator will simply disregard it.
 
[[Vi%27s_Unique_Roles#False_Inventor|False Inventor]] is a variant that is actually an [[Inventor]], but its Inventions do nothing.  Some moderators have even taken this concept to mean an Inventor who gives Inventions that claim to do something, but actually do something else (usually much worse).
 
==Use and Power==
There is essentially no argument that False roles are firmly in the realm of [[bastard mod|bastard modding]].
 
Obviously false roles are less powerful than real ones, but they also have a nasty tendency to get their bearers lynched via [[Lynch All Liars]].

*'''False [[1-Shot]] [[Vigilante]]''' is simply a Vanilla Townie.

False Roles are roles that claim to have some ability, but the ability does nothing. Depending on what the role is, the player can target someone, but it won't have an effect aside from showing up to roles like Trackers.

For reasons that should be obvious, false roles are never listed as such.

Win Conditions cannot and should not be false.

Variations

Some moderators will not even consider who a player with a false role targets. If a false Tracker targets someone, the moderator will simply disregard it.

False Inventor is a variant that is actually an Inventor, but its Inventions do nothing. Some moderators have even taken this concept to mean an Inventor who gives Inventions that claim to do something, but actually do something else (usually much worse).

Use and Power

There is essentially no argument that False roles are firmly in the realm of bastard modding.

Obviously false roles are less powerful than real ones, but they also have a nasty tendency to get their bearers lynched via Lynch All Liars.
