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.

i don't think it's random though. it's probably some interaction between two roles, or perhaps the client is breaking. I'm not entirely sure. I think it's just a matter of finding a way to reproduce it


Games with host and blue break sometimes if someone suis. In vivir lobby

yea just checked, maid is not meant to visit.

to be honest i think that the maid not visiting is perfectly in-line with its wildcard appeal.

NOTE 4: I don't think quoting things over and over again is going to make Lucid pay more attention to your stuff. Maybe try rewording it and adding to it if you feel like it was overlooked the first time?

can you get me that list foxie?

that reminds me of how a lot of new roles (including less recent additions) dont properly visit and people just kind of accept it when its a big problem with fundamental roles like tracker/watcher/drunk/etc

maid for instance i believe still doesnt visit

snowball apparently doesn't affect killer. I was killer in this game and was snowballed D2, but was still able to kill N3.

this, as well as new roles allegedly not having a visitation mechanic. do you plan on keeping it that way?

ive tested and compared games where the same actions take place and got different results

ive also tested vote-related triggers

the cause isnt random but as far as players can see from the limited information clients are given it is

the only thing ive found is that my 100 player setups you deleted were never affected by the bug

offering some arbitrarily large number of tokens again isnt going to make the sui bug less random

several games have had different outcomes under the exact same circumstances, it's more likely an ordering issue that players cant actually see

Now I can't start favorited setups without it being a webcam game haha

Edit: I can if I use CustEM ( https://epicmafia.com/topic/70746 ) to hide lobby annoucements so it is just running out of room at the bottom of the page


fixed

To streamline the process of adding new roles Lucid removed the original and muskratte-style icons. You can use them again with EMjack: https://epicmafia.com/topic/77055
