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.
just make the box the snakes are in 3x less small so they don't have room to last forever

Well the snake game ends and goes to the longest snake if it's not done by the night, but i do like the idea of everyone watching! It let's people know they have to be looking for the snake charmer since whoever is caught in the battle probably wouldn't be able to out it in their will like they would for Gambler.
But I don't think it would cause nights to last any longer than they would, at least not in sandbox which is probably where this role would be used. Sandbox nights rarely end before the kick timer
Also this is a really good idea

Another addition, maybe make the snakes go faster the closer the night is over, so there can't realistically be a tie at night due to how fast your reflexes would have to be
as a concept, i love this idea. in practice though, it would make nights take absolutely ages and would bore the hell out of the rest of the players -- so why not let the other players spectate the match or something to that effect? anything to make the long night not make the rest of the table want to kill themselves
I'm gonna repost this only because I think it has usage now that the whisper system has changed and town so far does not have a lot of roles that play with whispers. The Audience won't even have to see "whispers someone" that day making it really useful
I think Jimbei means the opposite: the issue is that roles like associate/poisoner don't have their partners on their lists, meaning that during a game with the mastermind they can find out who they are by looking for who's missing.

As associate, you can gun any non-mafia member. While the meeting is anonymous, with mastermind in game the associate still can't gun mafia members thus revealing who they are.
oh, what do you mean? i can make it so mastermind appear to be mafia

Roles like associate and poisoner should be able to gun/poison their partners if there is a mastermind present, not only to add to the role mastermind but to make it so if you role associate you can find out who your partners are because you can't gun them on the list.
(There's a few other roles too that this happens with, just naming two of them.)
Yeah, EMjack was a script that Foxie wrote that does a bunch of little things like that to enhance the game somewhat. It also gives a system message for spies/agents that lists out the roles and it used to give a "your role is X" message before you added that message to the base game.

EMjack automatically marks who your maf partners are(unless there's a mastermind, or you are the non-meeting mafia.)
Like on the left where you can guess what roles people are, it marks who your partners are so it helps you remember better.
