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

ok i'm just going to get rid of the all time tab, and move the win percentages to the main fame tab


okay, and that would only be based by particular lobbies (i.e. i am logged into main lobby rn, so it would only show up with main lobby stuffs)


there is already a trophy tab within each lobby on the lobby page itself?

I think the auto-marking of the mafia gives away who clown is


what is auto-marking?


Army says

Also, One Night Stand mode (`w`)


sorry, prob won't get to this. it's not even specced out! work with someone on fleshing out the requirements. on my return maybe i'll build it


Army says

For fixing the honor role, you can make it so when it includes the history a certain player has had with a role, just make sure its history is within a ranked/comp game inside of main lobby.


yeah i know what needs to be done here, it's not well structured in the database, but let me chew on this

@admin, the highest Win Percentages should be restricted only to games that occured in the lobby you are in (so if I am in main, it only shows main-specific), and the minimum entry to get onto this list is someone who has played EM in the past 2 months, and has over 5k points. I think that seems pretty fair.

The highest achieving should only be for main lobby trophies


why does it matter though? i could just remove the all time tab and the main tab will have what you wanted?


i mean, you can just replace everything with main lobby i guess. i mean, make sure it is current (2 months) so nobody can just stay on there forever, and make it over 5000 point requirement on main lobby, so there aren't new accounts that are 1-0 on there.


so lucid can see

These tabs, a lot of the top achievers here has been gotten through one user in a private custom lobby, it'd be great if these tabs were oriented towards Main lobby statistics only


honor role may be hard to fix but i could put in a quick fix for all time, which column in all time should it be main lobby specific?

admin says

ok, i've made troublemaker work with lightkeeper (i hope) let me know if i broke something

my hiatus unfortunately is coming up soon :( so i can only take like 2-3 more requests


Will oyu be adding the role mlogic n1 and hover-role script that cub made?


so it turns out the hover role thing interferes with an existing mechanism to mark a player as a potential role (question mark thingy). but i can add the role logic N1 pretty easily

Permission to remake the Honor Role things? I don't wanna see sammie cheating with herself like 10000 times in there. I wanna see main lobby. Maybe that would make it competitive again.

Also make the Best players thing with the trophies be for only Main Lobby, and make the WinCons for anyone over 10k points.


ohh, which tab?

i'm probably the only person who plays on mobile but dropdowns get very unusable on mobile...... the issue seems to be that they have janky positioning
so if you have enough menus that that tab ends up scrollable, when you scroll and open up the dropdown it'll be in the position it would be if you opened it when you weren't scrolled down. i think this happens on desktop too when there's a party (and blizzard too i assume) and you've got mafia meetings. though it's still usable on desktop bc the page just scrolls enough to accomodate the full menus. but mobile has that weird margin that never extends to the full length of the screen and if there's too many things in actions they don't display below it
in main lobby setups none of this is usually an issue on mobile since setups are usually smaller but when there's wills and more ppl? very broken. usually i need to refresh multiple times before the users i wanna vote display in menus and desktop view kind of ruins the point

Don't abandon troublemaker. It's a cool role. Just have it simply make two drop-down town votes. The listed votes (e.x. when you are handed a bomb) make sense for a bomb, but for anything else, it is a serious bloat.
