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

The day of the brunch, the messesage to all three parties, should, imo, be: The first bottomless mimosa has been served! It is time for Sharon's Sunday brunch with her girlfriends!

If you didn't catch on, the three meeting people do not know for sure (except for Sharon) which person is Sharon. It is possible that one of the people could claim that *they* are the real Sharon.
about 6 years
That is to be decided, tbh. Maybe she does, or maybe Sharon makes the strongman kill himself, or maybe she sacrifices herself (and in Sharon dies the night she decides a brunch meeting, the meeting does not happen btw of course).

Also, I also think that Sharon should be immune to granny (if her picking people counts as a visit, but perhaps it should NOT count, actually).

Does the Sharon save overpower a strongman kill?

If not then how is the vote decided in a 1-1 tie?

My idea was completely serious btw. Please make Sharon a role. We demand it. I will help you with any questions you may have. She must be holding a mimosa in her icon btw. Please, let us make this role happen. It will improve everything. Everyone I've mentioned it to in every game loves the idea.

If Sharon invites a drunk to brunch, it becomes a "sloppy brunch" and Sharon and the drunk's votes do not count.

Role idea

Sharon
*Once per game, can pick two people.
*Those people are protected from dying that night
*The next day, Sharon takes those people out for brunch.
*Everyone but Sharon and the two people she picked are silenced, cannot see the conversation, and cannot vote, but they can see who votes what.
*Sharon and her two friends must decide who will be that day's lynch.
*Sided with the village.

I used the same palette as templar so lmk if you want that to be changed

So I have a weird idea, it's an item, and a role.
Ya know how Chef (in sandbox which should totally be moved to main) pairs 2 people at a table and they are able to see each other's roles but not their names?

Item - Meal (when given to a player, they can pick someone to share the meal with) Same concepts of what Chef can do but you being given the meal knows who.

Role - Waiter?? maybe idk but gives out meals

This is not OP, because if Mafia is given a meal, they can meal their partner and they can have a mafia meeting in the town.

Thoughts?

We could call the town version Sentinel, and have a mafia version called Watchdog.

For these kinds of basic roles that work well in Competitive, I think we should always try to have both a town and mafia variant. I'll make some icons right now if that's all good.

can you fix the bug where if someone suicides in a sandbox game it breaks the game?

i cant help in the icon department

i like jailkeep
a) nod to original jailer (not EM jailer)
b) “keep” as a job title sounds old timey and cool
