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 think that's what's implied, if the cat lady only has one cat then the role is severely underpowered, because any blue/sheriff would instakill the cat for a useless roleblock.

Three cats is a bit arbitrary, but acceptable i guess.

cat lady should have a cat every night to make her a 50/50 stalker/hooker

hmm, besides for jack the ripper, all these roles are good. i'll start building them tomorrow!

is this a math question, i'm going with 3

how many cats does the cat lady have?

the thing about roleblocking is that hooker will always hook kill for a 1/6 chance of autowin n1 if you can roleblock seer

dunno about how stalker reports work with suits, maybe change the priority in the night operations
over 5 years
Torreador had a great idea about seer picking a suit on self. But the thing is that stalker N1 will get real reports before suiting. Also, roleblock immune doesn't match there, it'd be nice to have some hookers or drunks going on with a seer variation.

and for Cat Lady :
-if anyone kicks and Cat Lady didnt send cat yet, she automatically votes "no one" on cat meeting, or vegs if it's must-act.

add this rule to gambler too

apparently Seer will be 2nd (why would that be beats me, because this completely changes the point of the game, and is pretty much guaranteed to produce more bugs with lucid coding) so to make the role more balanced i would propose the following

- seer can choose what to appear as in night meetings only (like tailor on self). That suit would appear in stalker reports. The thing is, if someone randomly dies as sheriff or cop while not claiming, it's basically a free RNG win for mafia

- suiting can't be rolebocked, he gets a "you received a suit" message so he can be confirmed by journalist

- the rules about multiple seers makes no fukcing sense, make it simpler by saying one seer only gets all the information, and the others get nothing. Setups with multiple seers would basically be meme setups or pointfarm anyways.

Because both have an exciting feeling.

Why does killing a cat give you the same effect with being f*cked by hooker

Also, Whistleblower shouldn't be able to change someone's vote if that person is voting for a Mafia member.

Retheme Cat Lady to just be a Cat.

what lol


It's a super common role in Forum Mafia. Basically, it protects their target from visits of any type.


that's what keymaker/treestump is lol


No, it's a role that uses the action of a key each night. That'd be like saying that a doctor is superfluous because we already have vests.


wow more things that are like almost the same.

we already have stratego and uno lol... i'm down for word smith though (i think that's the agreed on name for a word with friends clone)


forgot about battlegrounds. Add monopoly. There are no real online games that play with other people, just bots


monopoly is way too much effort for what i think will be pretty unpopular game
