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.
3 Loan Shark Created bycoolkidrox1236 months ago Each day can loan a room to one player who can then choose another player to room with In exchange for the room, the player gives the Loan Shark their voting right If the player that rented the room gets killed while inside the room the killer must pay the renter's debts by giving the Loan shark their voting right. Therefore revealing to the Loan Shark (and maybe the other players) who the killer is. The renter can choose to repay their debt to the loan shark on a later day but each day they leave it off the debt will rise and once they finaly pay their debt the loan shark gains the amount of votes that the player was in debt for. Wins if he has rented a room to every player/made all the players pay him or is last one stadnign
Bard Created bycoolkidrox1237 months ago in the morning they can choose someone to play a tune to and that person falls asleep that night. this leads to that person to be role blocked this leads to that person not being able to join their faction's chat because they are asleep. it is known to everyone that that person is asleep
I really like the idea of this role, but I'm confused on how it works; will target 2A do the same action as 1A, or will they just be forced to visit them?
Also, do all 4 targets have to be different players or no?

Yeah I don't feel that most of sandbox can be used as a basis of whether roles are useful or not. Majority of the people that come here don't come to play actual mafia, nor do they care about sui'ing because there is no consequences for it. As Amelio said, people in sandbox rarely play roles for their intended use anyways.
People sui with it because they consider it boring but dont look at the objective helpfulness of the role. Its like people claiming virgin d1. Its a bad thing to do most of the time yet most people do it.
People also sui as blue when loudmouth can be useful. They even sui as sheriff/deputy after using their gun.
Its not about the role, but more of people considering suing or not based on if the role is "fun" instead of actually useful.
Here's your anarchist and old maid. Invis is a role that people sui over a lot, that's what got me noticed in the first place, so it clearly doesn't work as a SB only role
