This is a dedicated thread for users to bounce around and brainstorm on ideas for new roles, items, game mechanics or anything else to improve and build upon our beloved Mafia game.
Back in 2015 Sims made a thread asking if anyone had any ideas for roles since Lucid was looking to make some new ones (found here: https://epicmafia.com/topic/71173?page=1) That thread's dead now, but it's always good to try to bring the community together and come up with new stuff for the game.
Some of you might know my reputation for designing new roles and my passion for Mafia. EpicMafia is a pretty cool website and can always use some new stuff to spice up and remix the usual game formula, and I know a few of you have ideas of your own.
NOTE: If you're here to complain about Sandbox moderation or the site mods, please don't.
in fact, here's a full revamp of the clockmaker time system
the current meta is 2 town 1 mafia kill to win, and you gain an extra life if you kill town n1 which is your most likely kill so that's silly and basically gives cm 2 lives and an easy-peasy wincon
clock starts at 6, wins on 12, dies on 9, life on 3
killing town adds 1 hour killing mafia adds 2 hours killing third removes 3 hours
fastest victory is killing all 3 mafia, followed by 2 mafia 2 town, 1 mafia 4 town, or 6 town
killing 3rd party n1 gives extra life, allowing sidekick to be used as a sacrificial extra life for cm while risking alerting the town that there may be a clockmaker
killing 3rd under any other circumstance becomes a risk to winning, giving clockmaker something to actually avoid while competing with village for the mafia is his primary goal
additionally, clockmaker has to avoid town+mafia as his first two kills, so it must be town+town or mafia+mafia, again making clockmaker use his clock instead of blindly killing
it all works out perfectly and it's as simple as 1 2 3
this will make clockmaker significantly harder which is a good thing, it's an easy mode killer right now
clockmaker should be able to kill sidekick and it shouldnt add up to an n1 victory, if the time is changed then it could be done strategically later in game which is what sidekick is for: helping the 3rd party
instead of raising the clock by 3 hours, killing 3p should lower the clock by 3 hours, making killing 3rd party the only way clockmaker will ever satisfy its death condition which is currently unused
clockmaker can't be put into 3rd party heavy setups, when clockmaker wins n1 it still isnt a good win and people still dislike it even if its less common in games with fewer 3rd parties
its clearly a clockmaker problem, theres no reason that any kill should satisfy its win condition on the first night
Well sidekick shares a night meeting with the third party. Thus clockmaker knows who their sidekick is. Therefore Clockmaker and Sidekick autowin night 1.
So, like I said, clockmaker shouldn't be able to kill their sidekick.
Clockmaker probably shouldn't be able to kill the sidekick. lol.

can you please add 'strategies' tag on the tools button so new players know what's it for?
and you could also make an automatic PM that gets sent when you first log in with a video or a tutorial on the game. with the option of admins being able to edit it
