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
Robot: Follows Asimov's laws of Robots. At game's start it is assigned one person sided with the village that they must protect. If the person is targetted by the mafia, the Robot dies instead. If the person is chosen to be lynched the Robot dies in their place. Cannot be converted or lovered.
Operates similar to angel as a third party role but is aimed to only protect village.

cool concept
as along as the person can't hear what the other people in the graveyard are saying after they've been shot/before they've been revived
deletedover 8 years
Magus -Starts out with a gun (gun will always shoot anonymous, even if given one) -If shoots someone at day, the person will be put in the graveyard -The person will revive the next night -Sided with the mafia

Simplifying Dorian also gave me another idea of having another third party role that has a win condition based on avoiding getting back an item that they put into the game night one.
This gave me the idea of a revised version of the maid, where whoever has the item at the end of the game loses.
Or instead of an item it could be a suit
Butler (could use a name change, pretty sure the names been suggested under different role mechanics)
- Can choose one player to switch suits with each night. - Nothing can prevent the suit switch. - Whoever has the butler suit at the end of the game loses
The maid (which is one of my favourite roles) has a bit of a logical flaw where if a mafia member gets maided, there isn't much of a reason to not out their partners to the rest of the town.
The butler would be just like the maid, except it would keep all roles the same, while at the same time causing a bit of chaos by swapping around people's suits.
we probably don't need another role like this though so I won't make it
I'd like a hitman variant minus the strongman powers. Would be great for coco's varients (alternately, just fix the hitman!).

Simplified: a third party role who's win condition is reliant on a item being held by someone alive at the end of the game.
Maybe a mother-type role that has to give away their baby in the fear that the mafia is going to kill them. They win if their baby is with someone whos alive at the end of the game. Needs a different name and item to give away.
Imagine a game with the mother and the creepy girl, with both their items being held and passed around as a pair.
∆ town ∆ each night can visit one person ∆ all actions done onto that person will be reflected back to the person who did the action

Alternative to the whole immunity thing, Dorian's win condition could be wins if the person holding the portrait survives til the end of the game, regardless of whether or not Dorian is still alive.
This would probably balance it out a bit more (maybe, maybe not)... though it doesn't really flow with the whole story line behind it
This would almost make it even more of a reverse creepy girl hmmmmmmmmmm

All of my role suggests are gonna be morbid as hell from here on out
A role that can hear the dead speak A role that digs up bodies A role that doesn't own its soul

More of a reverse creepy girl I think-- in sense that both their win conditions are attached to an item, one needing the person with the item to die and one needing the person with the item to live
hmmmmmmmmmm it differs though because of the whole immunity thing
It could also be interesting if the player with the painting has the ability to give the painting away to other players. They could use it for bartering guns and stuff.

This would basically be like a spicier version of the survivor, with the potentiality of some teamwork happening between Dorian/whoever has the painting. If Dorian happens to give their painting to the mafia then the mafia can either choose to kill Dorian by showing him his painting (therefore getting a double kill this way) or they can essentially use Dorian’s painting as blackmail in order to get Dorian to vote with them. If Dorian gives their painting to a town role, they clear themselves to that role.

Dorian (could use a name change)
- Gives another player a painting of themselves night one.
- The player with the painting receives a message indicating that they’ve received a painting from Dorian.
- Dorian can only die if the player holding the painting dies or if the player holding the painting visits Dorian.
Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian’s beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life.
Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.
∆ thirds parties ∆ once per game, can choose a target ∆ if that target took at least 1 minute to choose their night action, they will become analyzed ∆ if that target took the action faster than a minute or had no action at all, they do not become analyzed ∆ when analyzed, the target's role, items in possession, and the number of of other players of the same alignment become known to the psychoanalyst ∆ if the target is analyzed again and the same timing prerequisite is met, they become psychobroke ∆ if the target does not meet the same prereq, nothing happens ∆ when psychobroke, the target becomes insane and fiddled ∆ if the target is analyzed for a third time and the same prereqs are met, the target becomes awakened ∆ if the prereqs are not met, nothing else happens ∆ if the target becomes awakened, the psychoanalyst wins the game ∆ cannot win under any other circumstances
∆ sided with the village ∆ once per game, can draw a picture of someone ∆ the subject of the drawing will become frozen in time ∆ the subject will be unable to do any action, such as speaking, voting, using items, or even dying
∆ village side ∆ starts with a megaphone ∆ during each night, may lend someone the megaphone ∆ on the following day, that person will be able to cry out to the town as if they were the crier ∆ after that day however, their megaphone will be given back to the loudspeaker
