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.

but it needs another name


Perhaps shrewd cop, if we're to keep with the theme of naming them after demeanors

Can you maybe also develop a phone app for epicmafia? Im currently on my phone and i play em on my phone a lot. But the mobile version currently is hard to work with. If there was an app or an easier to use mobile version (so if i wanna vote a certain person but the name is too low on the list, can actually choose their name)

Since there is confused cop and this is sorta the oppositeish and all cops have nerd names.

How about serious cop? Going with the naiive/insane kinda name

I've been speaking to lucid for a little while and I thought I'd clue you guys in as to what we've been talking about:

• Adding at least some of these roles as official: http://pastebin.com/Gg2D3aSP

• Adding a way for site mods to clear profile videos as they couldn't previously (no more Cory spamming dumb bdog dox videos).

• Adding more cosmetic text and username colours.

• Adding the ability for SoundCloud embeds on profiles.



EDIT: Hi lucid.


bumping this to next page for visibility

I had thought about this a while ago. It's not an original idea, but more of a re-imagining that would add new ways of going about classic setups that include a cop.


i really like this idea

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

Weeb
Created bycoolkidrox1235 months ago
Town can't win unless the weeb is lynched or killed
Spouts random anime facts anonymously
Spends the night watching anime
If someone visits them all they can say is "Nyaa"



Nuts
Created bycoolkidrox1234 months ago
Every game there is one person designated as "allergic to nuts"
Every night Nuts visits a person trying to make them have an allergic reaction
If they successfully find the one with nuts allergies they win the game



Loan Shark
Created bycoolkidrox1235 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

Possibly:

If the person who got the gift got a gun they are town. If the item they got is a knife they are mafia. 3rd party.

perhaps some sort of feature where owner or lobby mods can "lock" the chat and then it clears the chat and makes it so that only they can talk in it? would be useful when there are huge arguments breaking out in chat so that mods could do that and then tell the users to calm it down and then wait a few seconds and unlock it

1) do away with nillager's soundtrack. with all due respect to his efforts, it's garbage.
2) incorporate the role-specific tunes composed by user Fred.


there even might be a cameo in one of the roles from yours truly~

Fred says

Just for fun I started writing some night meeting music for specific roles. I think they're too long as of right now, so I'd probably have to cut them.

Here's clockmaker: https://soundcloud.com/tannercohan/clockmakernm

and Medical roles (doctor/nurse/surgeon): https://soundcloud.com/tannercohan/medicalnm

both of these are subject to change, I was just having fun


yes plz
