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

can confirm there is a glitch with commuter. currently it seems like commuter can't die under any circumstances, day or night. lynching has no effect


I wanted to prove your wrong putting some illusionists in games, but I failed.

Medium - can still communicate with the last person to be night killed, that person is unable to see graveyard and is only able to communicate with the Medium.

Imagine the Cop being night-killed, but not hooked, and being able to tell the Medium their findings - however, of course there will always be counterclaims so another user could pretend to be conversing with the dead.


Journalist fulfills that role in a way, no?

oh and i'd be much obliged if you made falconer lucid

Falconer
- Must choose one person, sends falcon to them during the night.
- If the person receiving the falcon is sided with the town, falcon returns in 1 day.
- If the person receiving the falcon is sided with the mafia, falcon returns in 2 days.
- If the person receiving the falcon is 3rd party, falcon does not return.
- When falcon returns, falconer can send falcon to another person, same rules apply.
- If falcon is with dead, falcon returns the next day.
- Sided with the village.

ive been thinking about this role for a while but idk if there should be changes, please leave suggestions


i can't wait to lose games because someone can't count days

also this is just lazy cop with a quicker response time for town, so it seems kind of pointless

Underling would be used for setups like this, replace silencer with underling, boom you have a superior setup that doesnt have FLASH VOTE TO CLAIM nonsense.


underling would be good in those other weird pr-heavy setups like PAU, Curseption, and Recklessness, and can be made into variants.

so like traitor but counting towards maf total?


And can visit, so in setups with tracker or watcher they can fake a PR claim. And can't be killed n1 obviously.

Obviously the name is just a placeholder. Also the underling wouldn't know their partners just like fiddler and silencer.

This would purely be for competitive/ranked because obviously such a role wouldn't be very "fun" for sandbox type games. I just hate fiddler and silencer but like the idea of a mafia that can visit.
about 6 years
Lucid can you add a mafia role that doesn't attend meetings nad has a visit that does nothing. It'd be like silencer , they can claim a PR but they wouldnt have a mostly useless anti-competitive ability that can actively harm the mafia. The mafia role wouldn't know their partner either.

This wasn't a problem before with thief, but with robinhood, sniper and illu guns and actress suits can be stolen, this should obviously be prevented

being doused by arsonist i believe counts as a state and not an item so that cant be stolen thankfully


HAving maf items being stolen by Robinhood seems fine by me


ok sniper and illu guns maybe but actress suits seem pretty unnecessary. in fact, i'd extend this to make all suits un-stealable.

Add this role if you want to:

Selects one person every night. If that person dies, everyone sharing that role will be dead. Does not attend mafia meetings. Sided with the mafia.
Some people and I were saying this should be a role some time ago.


seems broken, but can be fixed with vig/granny and no whispers

I don't understand why the vice president would attend the mafia meetings and make them anonymous. Does the president do that?

Commuter has been added! Let me know if you find any bugs, it should block most major roles though there may be issues with actions with multiple player selections. Just let me know which ones aren't working properly and I'll fix it

If the comedian targets the same person 2 nights in a row, the person does not get anything the second night


I found another reason behind that:

PoliticallyCorrect says

Robin Hood sounds pretty broken if they can't give a stolen item to mafia. Don't they automatically know all the mafia in the game?


no, I think it means it just gets lost or doesn't steal at all. Like it doesn't go to the mafia even if selected.
