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.

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.
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
What is your favorite role mentioned in this thread?
by making it no-reveal (which i think should be the default for graveyard games) + necromancer. townies in graveyard would be encouraged to exorcise mafias to prevent a resurrection
ok, just thought of another role that may be fun. something like fool but for graveyard, their goal is to be picked in graveyard to be exorcised in order to win
- 3rd Party - Rest of town is given the option to call the Freaker at night. - That person will receive one random accurate report. Det/Cop/Snoop/Journ ect. - Wins if receives x amount of calls (maybe 5?)
This role gives town a desperation play to find maf if other pr roles die. Probably best for sandbox but might have some main strats as well.
I have some suggestions for making the marking system better in my thread as well (e.x. allowing to mark someone as an allignment, as well as adding items to it) https://epicmafia.com/topic/91223
Also worth noting: I do think there should be some sort of tutorial/hint popups for new users that can be toggled on/off. When I mentioned in a game recently that you can mark someone as a role, several people in the game weren't even aware of this feature.
The way I see it one click on a username would change it's font color to green to mark them as tr/clear (like loveardo on the screenshot), second click would change it to for example black to mark them as fos(Johneh on the screenshot) and the third click would reset it to default color (red-ish on everyone else on the screenshot).
It wouldn't make you unable to vote the ones you marked green.
I think it would work since it wouldn't need any free space to implement.
Oh hey speaking of jotto There’s been an issue where people are randomly kicked out of the game and have to rejoin, and when they return their cheat sheet is gone and having to fill it out again isn’t fun
imo it should be on each individual users to mark people and have to actively be a part of the game to get reads. Making this public would make it so th clears lead more and the blues/useless roles participate even less
Someone aleardy suggested something like this but I'd rather have something like a cheat sheet in jotto, but in Mafia people would be able to mark their tr and fos or if you're mafia you could mark Prs and non prs. I think it could be done similar to jotto like one click on a name marks it green, two clicks marks it red, three clicks marks it grey or something. It could even be built into the voting so u can click on names there.
yeah i don't like the idea of public marking, because people might forget their partners, or they might forget that it is public, and they accidentally mark partners.
i dont like the idea of marking your own role for everyone else. it's just going to be used against people in a really stupid way to try and disprove claims.
"i marked myself as cop first" "you didn't mark yourself as gs this whole time so you're clearly lying"
What if you could mark people's roles for what you think they are and then also another column next to it where they could mark themselves on everyone else's screen?
It would be easier if everyone marked themselves for anyone else to see. You could also see who is AFK or no cooperating.
In addition to that, you could add another mechanism that allows people to mark who their townreads are fos's are for more organization in game.
