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

also, greatly appreciate if someone can make some wordsmith assets (scrabble clone)


we're using https://github.com/hanshuebner/html-scrabble right?

there's no dictionary for this, but maybe you can use the jotto dictionary

As I said, I'm strongly against VP role. Town will just lynch the president for a joint if they know VP is in game.


For a joint? How would that work?

Lynching pres day 1 would put town at a great disadvantage, and is not doable if there's a chance the mafia has a gun.

Otherwise, if you lynch the president this will give strong tells to the mafia on who the townies are, making figuring out the VP for them easier.

Out of the two dozen roles I've suggested/thought of, I only posted 2 or 3. This one included, because I feel outside of JFK that the president role doesn't "work" that well, I feel this will create more telling and plays that we wouldn't see usually.

You should adjust soldier to all hostile 3rd party roles. Killer wins with town.

I'm not a huge fan of Martyr's name, that has positive connotations but as a mafia role it probably shouldn't.

I haven't thought of multiple vice presidents actually, that may confuddle things. Either the VPs all attend the mafia meeting and one randomly becomes president once the old one is killed, or any spare VPs should just become a traitor or something by default if that convolutes things too much.

And yes, VP cannot win if they are the VP. 3rd party as maid/amn like golb said

and this condition always holds? "Cannot win if they are the vice president"


Yeah, it’s like Maid or Amnesiac in that regard.

And of course, they should count as town in a maf-majority scenario

what if there are multiple vice presidents?


should have them is a queueing order like VP, SecSt, SecDef, Speaker, or however it is supposed to be. I will find the full list hold on.

TBH add this one. Interesting way to make something similar to a third party plumber. But I agree that it should be a town role that could either be journalist, detective or granny. But TBH they shouldn't be able to make fetch or sniff option twice in a row, if that is possible to format.

in the case of multiple seers, does mafia have to guess all the seers?


probably the one that knows the mafia. Otherwise the useless seers will act like blues, while still knowing who they are.


but.. "If there are two mafias and multiple Seers, the knowledge of the mafias will be split between them."


but If there are multiple Seers in a game, only one Seer will know the mafia at any given time.


what does 'knowledge of the mafias will be split between them' mean


pretty sure it means seer A knows maf X and seer B knows maf Y, but I don't like this idea at all.


ah ok, yea we need this to be clarified

yea matt, i got your pm! thanks!

Also with this "only one knows" idea, mafia can gamble if they killed the true seer and it appears blue. They can try to claim to know mafias and try to get lynch opportunity while also trying to get the seer to out.
