Fixing roles and mafia features

Everyone wants their role to be added. This isn't for everyone.

While lucid is actually active at present, this thread is for fixing roles and mafia-related features. Improving the game itself is more important than adding a bunch of role clones.

Some role fixes

Some mafia features (emjack does all of these)

Can we have a different icon for the trickster if it's actually going to be a part of the game

I know it's supposed to resemble the old fool but it's pretty confusing for those of us who were previously and/or are still used to the orange bunny being the fool

Gambler added. Also voodoo may be fixed, forger 100% will in effect

I'd also like to see an interaction between lover and bride. Maybe if bride proposes, groom will be forced to reject and bride becomes virgin? I'm not sure exactly.


Bride: Proposing to someone in love will always fail.

also the prophet exploit isn't intentional but to be honest prophet would be better if it worked that way

Also, as prophet if I click end meeting but do not select a date, the veg counter will run but I won't veg, and I can chose a date the following night. Is this intentional?

My suggested role interactions:
-Werewolf will become poisoned if eating a zombie
-Chef can give out any bread that they received by baker(since just handing out bread would be too overpowered)

I'd also like to see an interaction between lover and bride. Maybe if bride proposes, groom will be forced to reject and bride becomes virgin? I'm not sure exactly.

nah, it must be a bug, can you reproduce it?


voodoo simply doesn't always work

everyone just assumed you made it work 50% of the time to explain why sometimes it didn't. it's a pretty common phenomenon

Role Interactions


Role interactions already exist. Some more notable interactions including drunk + driver, hooker + virgin, penguin + penguin, and so on.

Role interactions add an extra layer of complexity for experienced mafia players and an extra level of creativity when making setups. In closed role setups, they simply make everything more interesting and keep the game fresh since they're very uncommon and always neat when they happen.

Since they can make a big difference in gameplay (you might not think at first that putting drunk and driver in a setup would turn drunk into a vigilante), an "Interactions" list could be added to role descriptions for roles where this mechanic applies.

Current interactions (to be listed)
- Virgin: When visited by a Hooker, becomes a Villager.
- Drunk: Drunking a Driver causes him to die.
- Arsonist: Trees are not immune to Arsonist.
- Paranoid: Investigating an Alien will appear sided with the Alien.
- Shrink: Cures insanity.

Suggested role interactions
- Bodyguard: 100% chance to kill when protecting a Celebrity.
- Butterfly: Being trapped by the Trapper triggers the butterfly effect.
- Shrink: Cops visited by the Shrink always receive a correct report.
- Deputy: Shooting the Sheriff reveals him as the new Sheriff.
- Traitor: If visited by the Yakuza, becomes a Yakuza.
- Snowman: Snowman is immune to snowballs. (system message: The snowball has no effect.)
- Survivor: Visiting the same house as a Fool reveals the Fool to him.
- Fool: Visiting the same house as a Survivor reveals the Survivor to him.

lucid, i'm a major fan of the new roles and all, but finding them on the learn page is kinda ridiculous considering there are basically no sort options. the main two which are really important are alphabetical and date created. if you were to implement those features, that would be some really cool business


Agreed, this would help people learning the new roles especially if they don't know the name of the role.



cub says

since lucid keeps adding roles and new players have always been intimidated by having to learn a hundred roles to play the game, I have a suggestion for the Learn tab

divide All into Standard and Complete

the Standard tab only includes roles allowed in main lobby (that is, no sandbox roles)

the Complete tab includes all roles in the game




do this also so new players have an easier time getting the hang of the game and don't run away

cub says

lucid since you're making roles bring back the use of role moderators for their intended purpose


I second this. Maybe it's my hunger for more updates once Lucid's gone, but it would be really great if the site was getting at least semi-common updates and tweaks. I'll volunteer to help develop roles if needed, too.


yes please

Yeah, uh, customs/suggested roles you can sort by time, comments and votes. It'd not be too troubling to add that to the official roles too, right?

the thing with the families where when you upload new stuff it doesn't update even after clearing your cache :/

Gambler (revision)
- Each day, picks a player to gamble at night
- Both players will pick rock, paper, or scissors in separate meetings
- The loser dies the next day unless there is a tie
- Wins after 2 successful gambits
- Third party

what was the intended behavior for Gambler again? is it third party? what is its win condition?
