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 just drew it on the spot. It can go any way. it should be just easyer to use than the site since it will be on a smaller screen and not on a big computer screen.

You got me. I actually told Shwartz directly to base it off of them.

Since lot of writing is involved it should be sideways. I think it will be uncomfortable if it is in normal phone/tablet position.

its as simple design as it gets. Swiping should bring more options. etc

Okay, then yeah those should be roleblocked too I think.

Only actions that directly invoke the killing act should be allowed on a Blizzard night.

Also, for the blizzard chat everyone should have an icy-blue gradient for the text color, like how party nights have a rainbow.

What's an example of a meeting that indirectly leads to death?

I am free. Sending a photo of my idea.

I know i am a bad drawer but its much easy to explain than talking about it.

oh hmm, so i'll have to label which meetings directly lead to kills. not any meetings that can indirectly lead to a death?

All killing roles can still do their business, it seems. Everybody else gets roleblocked.

That would actually make this really interesting if Jack the Ripper were in the same setup.

so I found this role which I think would go quite nicely with comp setups and sandbox: https://epicmafia.com/role/8043

Ice Queen (maybe rename to Snow Queen, from the fairy tale)
- Once per game, can cause a Blizzard. Blizzard functions as a Party Host’s party, and all players in the town share a night meeting.
- “Upon trying to leave, the door won’t budge! You’re all snowed in for the night!”
- All actions except for kills, including mafias', are roleblocked that night.
- Sided with the mafia.


lolll


wait, so mafias still have their usual meeting and can kill?

I realized although there are village roles that are a liability to town win condition, (civilian, lightkeeper leader) there are no mafia roles that are a liability for mafia. Thus, I created:

Defiler/Necromancer
- Every night, has to drain a fellow mafia member's soul.
- Drained member will be unable to take any actions that night.
- If defiler is left with no mafia partners, it dies.
- Sided with the mafia.

Lecher
- Is assigned to one mafia member to be their illicit lover.
- If lynched, calls out the name illicit lover.
- Sided with the mafia.

I like that role. It reminds me of two roles, one that was created years ago and one of my own invention.

Ghost:
-Appears as villager.
-If someone tries to kill the Ghost, their role is revealed to themselves and they cannot be killed or converted thereafter.
-They cannot vote once they have become a Ghost.
-Sided with the village.

Juror (my own):
-If there is more than one Juror alive, and all living Jurors vote the same way, they will override the vote.
-If the majority vote is on a Juror they may not override.
-Sided with the village.

However, I personally think that we shouldn't be focusing on Village roles and instead should suggest Mafia and Third Party roles, since we already have a lot of Village roles.
about 6 years
also if we're going to be making roles with an increased vote count we should make one with a vote count of 0

Prisoner
- Vote does not count.
- Sided with the village.

(oh and for a top secret mechanic, if jailer lets them free they turn into villager, while if gator lets them free they turn into traitor)
about 6 years
not sure if you haven't put this mechanic in already but please make vice president immediately turn into president for setups with vice president in it but not president

so kind of like how admirer turns into killer if there is no killer to admire

Gamemaster
(sided with the town)
