how them profile pets coming along

i have a role suggestion

Support

- Chooses a player at night and makes them unable to be roleblocked at all
- Sided with the village

k bai

Also this didn't fit in the original post so I have to double post

Daisy

-Begins the game with three petals
-Every time it is visited, will lose one petal
-Dies if it loses all three petals
-Wins if it survives with one or more petals

(Systems messages (to self): [Losing 1st Petal] "They love me not...", [Losing 2nd Petal] "They love me..." [Losing 3rd Petal] "They love me not!")

Idea for this came with the intrigue of a 3rd party role that has to win while trying to avoid people visiting it. I figured three visits = death would be fair enough, debated between that or two.

Oh no I made more ideas. Its horrible but I did

Fisherman

-Every night, will go out on a fishing trip
-Has a chance to then to reel in a random item (Gun, vest, crystal, bread, key.) to give to themselves
-Cannot fish if visited at night
-Sided with the village

(System messages: "After a relaxing fishing trip, you managed to reeled in a ___!")

"But that's just a more useless Trickster" But I think makes this viable is that being able to fish out important stuff like guns and vests is obviously a major plus for the town, but also a good role for mafia to work around since, depending on the setup really, it wouldn't hard to fakeclaim and be like "oh yeah I got a vest/crystal ;)"

Lifeguard

-Every night, can protect one player
-The chosen player cannot have their protection roleblocked or altered by the mafia
-However, the mafia will be notified of who the lifeguard is if they successfully protect their nightkill
-Does not apply to non-mafia killing roles such as vigilante, killer, etc.
-Sided with village

(System message (Directed at the Mafia): You attempted to kill [Mafia Target], but you spot [Lifeguard], the Lifeguard, resuscitating your target back to life!)

We got like four protection roles but I sort of liked the idea of having a surefire protector at the risk of mafia knowing who they are if they fail to get a kill. It’s a cool exchange of power, guaranteed protection at the risk of mafia knowing and killing you the next day.

While reflecting on the fact that we have six different cops and how silly it would be if other roles had that many variations, I had the most unlikely idea that actually makes complete sense in closed role setups.

Rookie / Rookie Detective
https://epicmafia.com/role/15667
- Visits one person every night.
- Receives an altered report with the role of that person.
- They will appear as a random role in the game.
- Appears as Detective.
- Sided with the village.

Now in regular setups this is completely useless, but in *closed role* setups it's actually ingenious. So, once you realize you're actually a Rookie and not a real Detective, similar to realizing you're an Insane Cop and not a real Cop, you can actually begin using your reports for something else: Learning every role in the game. In a closed-role setup, this makes all the difference since not knowing what the roles are is half of the challenge. It begins to function as an agent with the ability to learn town roles and can use that knowledge to clear uncc'd claims. It's doubly effective with a real detective, of course.

Seems that if both Hunter and Huntsman both get lynched on the same day, Hunter gets to hunt and huntsman just dies without shooting.

The text for diabolist needs to be updated to reflect the changes

Third eye

invisible man already exists

sidekick should convert to lover/angel if their 3rd partner is amnesiac

Add a role called "President" (or "Donald") which is a combination of celebrity and civilian. Revealed to all at the start of the game, but if it's killed the game ends. Could be used in some interesting setups.

Hey lucid, would it be hard to program a role that during the night can randomly turn into any of the (156) roles? or maybe just the town ones?

since everyone posts their own roles i decided to actually make some of my own

not sandbox roles, we have enough of those. need some real balanced roles in the game for regular mafia players

Director
https://epicmafia.com/role/15657
- Selects two players each night to stage a meeting.
- Player A will appear to have visited player B and only player B.
- The Director cannot select himself.
- Sided with the mafia.

No, it isn't like the Driver because it does not switch the players nor does it affect actual visits. The Director will make someone appear to have visited someone else, even if they didn't and even if they actually visited another person. It's a misguiding role.

Apothecary
https://epicmafia.com/role/15658
- Cures visitors of poison, bleeding, or infection.
- If not visited, may cure self.
- Sided with the village.

Particularly useful with the added knife mechanic. The apothecary functions as a stationary half-doctor in that it can cure players of anything except death. If left alone, it can also be a self-healing role, although if the apothecary claims and there's a poisoner then mafia will know not to let it alone.

Collector
https://epicmafia.com/role/15660
- Starts with 0 gold.
- Visits one person every night.
- All items that person has are taxed for 1 gold.
- Wins after collecting 10 gold.
- Sided with third party.

This one is more of a sandbox role and poses a threat in longer games or games with more items. Anyone visited by the collector will be informed ("You've been visited by the collector! You paid (amount) gold.") and thenceforth players must be more cautious about holding onto and giving out items until the collector is found.

now it is

Are there ever going to be plans on completing the cut Seer role? I've been thinking about it recently as I rediscovered Blave's PM explaining what it does.

At first glance it seemed pretty unbalanced, but upon further thought I decided that with some tweaking it might be viable enough.

cub says

i suggest it to be a viable role

i don't see you calling siren a voodoo clone

yes, Siren has a win condition. VooDoo just wins with maf.

i suggest it to be a viable role

i don't see you calling siren a voodoo clone

So you suggest to be the same as voodoo. Voodoo gets a certain word. Diabolist gets a certain vote?

not unless they got a track/watch report

since the other thread is being spammed right now i'll post this again here

diabolist should predict who someone will vote rather than just picking a target because the entire role can be circumvented by waiting to vote and even voting in chat first

having it vote-based is more consistent, competitively viable, and allows the diabolist to exact revenge on town if he knows a partner will be lynched, making town more cautious to use unnecessary votes

for balancing, the diabolist should not be able to predict that he himself will be voted

AONick says

is diabolist target aware of the spell being on them?

No, and I'd keep it that way just like Voodoo.
