Hello Sandboxers. Lucid is interested in making new roles, and I know you guys have a bunch of good ideas, so what I'd like to do is get a list of all of the best ideas in this thread and have a poll that you guys can vote on for lucid to make.
On an unrelated note, if you guys know of any bugs with existing roles, please PM me so I can test it out and forward it to lucid so they can get fixed
at night chooses one person to love, the following nights if the person loved by the Yandere visits anyone except for the Yandere then the yandere will kill them, regardless of who they visited or was visited by, can only be saved by traps, vests and not visiting anyone, traps will kill the yandere, only works on visiting roles. people who are loved by the Yandere will receive the system message "Someone is watching you intently"
if the yandere watches a non visiting role then they will be notified after a day that they have gotten bored of their target and will be able to choose another person. if yandere has killed someone then they get to choose another person, if the yandere is visited by their lover the lover will act as an unwilling bodyguard, from then on taking any bullets and kills in stead of the Yandere.
if a lover was killed instead of the yandere then the yandere's love ability no longer works and will instead act like a hooker.
does not attend mafia meetings, shows up as mafia, can be thulu'd and can target other mafia.
Nut - Visits a random player every night - Performs a random action on that player (investigate,watch,track,trap,doc,carol,penguin,gun,vest,bread,key,etc) - Third party, wins if survives
- Sees all meetings during the night, but not player names. - Can send anonymous messages to any night meeting. - Role is revealed to all when visited. - Wins if among the final two players alive.
Defector (third)
- Randomly aligned with town/mafia at game start. - Can change alignment each night. - Appears as a villager to investigative roles. - Does not kill or attend meetings when sided with the mafia. - Only wins if aligned with the winning team.
-maf sided -non-meeting i guess? -each night picks two people to see a contortionist show -one of which is taken to participate in the show themselves and become so sore from all the twisting that they cannot visit the next night -the other person will be so traumatized by what they've seen, (the first although anonymous person being flung around), that they can talk the next day, but cannot vote
every night can choose 2 people, one to impose as and another that 'willingly' imposes the same, during the day the imposter and his/her chosen accomplice will share the same text colour/name and avatar as the person chosen to be imposed to everyone but themselves 'everyone perceives them as A if A was imposed but will still see themselves as B'
can choose to self impose* and will be able to choose a third person to join in on the fun, 'mind reading' or psychic roles will see through imposters disguise and oracle will show imposters true identity upon death
wins if the 'original' person is lynched 3 times *self imposing does not count* or if alive with village albeit less points, does not win with maf and shows up as 3rd in investigations
Banshee Maf
once per game can screech during the day, this will clean the message board of all messages aside from your own and notifications, effect lasts for the whole day, can still see votes and message bubbles but any new messages aside from your own will not appear
if banshee chooses not to screech then the following night one visitor will be effectively 'fiddled' for the day, this ability prioritises 3rds, then village then maf, once banshee screeches then this ability no longer works
does not attend mafia meetings and shows up as maf when investigated, psychic and telepathic roles still see messages *screech ability does not work on them* does not visit, screech will not work if cthulud or silenced
Hermit Village
cannot be masoned, can be culted, once per game if targeted by a killing role will activate a trap that saves the hermit and inflicts bleeding on one attempted murderer, does not inflict bleeding if murderer is vested, if multiple killers visit then trap targets maf then 3rd then village but will only work on one, if visited by more than 1 killer the hermit will still die.
sided with village when investigated, does not visit

like if mafia, killer, clockmaker, werewolf, vigil, or another killing role targetted martyr then martyr wouldn't die for that night, but they can only use this power once
i need this to be a role for one of my setups to work

Death (from Harry Potter)
At night gives 3 people one of three seperate items. --The elder wand-- Whoever is currently holding the elder wand can not die during the day --the resurrection stone-- The person who is holding the r. stone sees the graveyard text, and can talk to everyone in the GY for THAT DAY (also can talk to town). Does not work at night. --cloak of invisibility-- Makes one person silenced, however their messages still seem to go through (so the person doesn't suspect he is silenced) People can pass on the items at night. If one person holds all the three items at one time, they are destroyed and so is death. If death receives one of his items back, he dies. Sided with the mafia

Employee
÷Is given 3 errands to complete at the start of the game (N1) ÷Errands can range from 'get X lynched' to 'whisper player X' to 'vote player X for the whole day' ÷will be notified at night how they are progressing ÷wins if all 3 errands are completed ÷sided with 3p
ye, scaling roles is the next frontier in terms of new mechanics IMO but mr. wang would have to write more code for that. I made one earlier but its a more absurd and funner role than the one you suggested so yours may be the better candidate for making and utilizing that code
"wizard/fairy/whatever mystical name you want
x 3p x steadily gains abilities as the game progresses x same win conditions as killer x from N1 to D1: can give a player a crystal x from N2 to D2: can give a player a crystal or a vest x from N3 to D3: can give a player a crystal or a vest and can investigate them as a regular cop would x from N4 to D4: can give a player a crystal or a vest or a gun and can investigate them as a regular cop would x from N5 to D5: can give a player a crystal or a vest or a gun, can investigate them as a regular cop would, and can kill a target x from N6 to D6: same as before x from N7 to D7: same as before but can also force a meteor"
jacky just gave me a fascinating idea: a role that matures throughout the game. might be absurd and might not work at all, but it's definitely interesting.
Robot - Upgrades each night - N2, can watch one person - N3, can watch and track one person - N4, can watch, track, and protect one person - Sided with the village
there's probably a way more interesting application of this idea, this is just off the top of my head
i also thought of a role that could take action over two nights although its likely been suggested before
Assassin - Tracks one person every odd night - Kills that person every following night without fail - Wins if alive
∆ sided with the village ∆ on night one, will automatically die and protect the rest of the game from death for the night (think of it as an automatic virgin) ∆ if somehow survives night one, will advance 20 years to become the captain and thus gain a vest and a gun
