Hello everyone! I would like to ask the people who are interested in this event to participate and contribute as much as possible.

In order for 2 new roles to be added to em, the community has to work together to refine the ideas that are going to be mentioned below. We have to collectively select 2 of the best ideas and make sure their version is the best one possible. The next step would be to come up with some sort of artwork for the selected roles. Lucid mentioned something about rewarding the users behind the artwork that would get selected in the end for those 2 roles.

Jack the Ripper (originally Hypocrite)

  • Jack the Ripper hates anyone who kills.
  • Jack the Ripper only wins when the game ends and all murderers are dead.
  • If Jack the Ripper receives a gun or knife and kills someone with it, he will not consider himself a murderer.
  • To Jack the Ripper, murderers are killing roles or any other player that has successfully eliminated someone else (shot, stabbed, blown up, etc.)
  • If a player survives one of these actions, Jack the Ripper will not consider the attacker a murderer. (~Jennings)

Cat Lady

  • Chooses one player every night. The player is instantly alerted that a cat is at their door. They have two options: Kill the cat, and let it go. If you kill the cat, you are roleblocked and the Cat Lady doesn't know who was visited. If you let it go, the Cat Lady learns your role.
  • Sided with the mafia. (~Her)

Robinhood

  • Visits two people, taking all items from the first and giving them to the second (cannot visit self either way)
  • Action fails if trying to steal from a mafia
  • Sided with the village (~Torreador)

Vice President

  • If the president dies, takes their place
  • All townies immediately receive a message of their new president
  • Attends mafia meetings, and makes them anonymous
  • Cannot win if they are the vice president (~Alyssa)

Gossiper

  • Chooses one person every night.
  • Will see some whispers this person receives/makes.
  • Gossiper's action does not count as a visit.
  • Sided with the mafia. (~Soluciones)

(revising) the Seer

  • Knows all mafia from the beginning of the game.
  • If lynched at the end of the game, the last mafia can guess who the Seer is for autowin.
  • If the Seer dies, they will appear as a random (non-mafia) role in the setup and their will will always be blank. If dead, the mafia can still attempt a guess to the Seer's identity at the end of the game.
  • If there are multiple Seers in a game, only one Seer will know the mafia at any given time.
  • If there are two mafias and multiple Seers, the knowledge of the mafias will be split between them.
  • Sided with the village. (~Shwartz99)

Whistleblower

  • Once per game can force someone to vote someone else. Vote cannot be OT'D if it is a hammer. Sided with maf (Will create more tension in selfing/hammering based setups (~Moldyches)

Soldier

  • If they are the last man standing against a single mafia or third party, the village wins.
  • Sided with the village. (~XFire)

PowerTown

  • Each night chooses a power role from the options provided to him. (the mods should determine the list)
  • Night meeting goes accordingly
  • Sided with the village

PowerMafia

  • Each night chooses a mafia role from the list.
  • Night meeting goes accordingly
  • Sided with the mafia

I mean, straightforward VP strat is to survive and get the main president killed or lynched, pretending to be one of townies who knows the president and assumes getting him dead is optimal.
over 6 years
If they know then they can just say who the president is to the mafia, getting themselves an easy win and the mafia can just hunt the VP down by process of elimination. This needs to be changed immediately.

I’m confused, does Vice President know who the president is? I don’t think that’s supposed to happen.


So broken.

Yes, I don't think they should know either.

How come the invisible man isn't allowed in ranked games? I thought that role was brilliant until I discovered that the user chooses who to visit, at first I thought that they automatically attended Mafia meetings every single night. This would be a brilliant role, imagine a game of guns and hookers with this role replacing the blues (so all of the 'blues' attend the Mafia meeting but can't speak or see who the Mafia are). It would give the blues something to read on the long boring nights and would also encourage faster nights.

Is there any role that reverses any night actions done to them towards the visiting player? So if they are given a gun the gunsmith gets gun. If they are given a vest, the blacksmith gets vest. If they are saved by Nurse, the nurse gets saved/roleblocked and therefore nobody is safe that night.

isn't there a comp setup with fiddler? i remember playing it like 6 months ago


It's been banned for ages because it takes players out of the game and is no fun. I remember someone arguing to unban it when I was modding, but there wasn't any support


That's why lucid should add Underling!!! (Or some other role with the same exact mechanics but a different name)

https://epicmafia.com/role/15710

It would replace fiddler and silencer in setups with those without being imbalanced.


If its night time actions do nothing, then what's the point of it being in a different meeting?

@Lucid, working with the idea that Ethereal has suggested, how about a mafia role named Recruit or Initiate. They have a different meeting to the mafia, and can visit two people at night. The visit does nothing if they visit town, but if they visit mafia they get a message saying "You have found your partner" or something. When they have found all their mafia partners, they join the next mafia night meeting.

Example: I visit Lucid and Ethereal night one, Ethereal is mafia, Lucid is not. I get a message on day one saying "You have found out Ethereal is your partner/comrade/the mafia!" On night two I visit Ever and yela and I get a message on day two saying "You have found out yela is your partner/comrade/the mafia!" There's only 3 mafia in this setup, so on night three I'm in the mafia meeting and can kill.

If the other two mafia die before I find them, mafia loses. If I find the two mafia the night before they're lynched, I go into the meeting alone and game continues.
