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

okay, so we need to find a way to keep a checklist of which roles lucid is interested in. We need to make a separate mods/rolemods only forum for that so lucid doesn't forget them. this one can be a whole lot of the new ideas and suggestions, and once lucid approves of them or considers them, it could be in the mod-only forum.

Yeah maybe modifying the host might be the best route to pursue here. Thanks shayne.


I have a keen interest in further developing the Host role. Can you list some of the ways it should be changed?


did you see my post lol


Nah tbh, I've been skimming since yesterday because I'm pretty busy right now.

if people are coming up with gy roles i got another one that's probably bad

-If that person's alive, the possessor will possess them.
-Possessed people's actions, speech and voting are controlled by the possessor.
-Wins if the person they possess doesn't die.
-Sided with the third party.

Hey Phil, is it possible to make a role suitable for Survivor games aka a role that automatically self votes the moment day begins? Definitely would not be fun for main or even sandbox games but could tremendously help out the survivor community.

Alternative idea: role that starts as a tree stump that can be lynched


is the survivor community still alive? lol

Basically for the host role, if there was a way to allow the host to end the day without players having to do any action that would be great as well, it would go a long way in the learning curve of bringing in new players, because new players often get confused about the actions on the sidebar, making them veg and get confused as to how the game works.

speaking of trophies, have you been able to look into the Luke situation where he stole trophies? i can send you an email with details if you need

allowing host to basically singlehandedly decide the lynch somehow would be amazing -- this could be done by making everyone else have the "end meeting" mechanic and host gets to vote, or doing a gov-style mechanic where they pick the lynch in their own meeting

allowing it to revive players like shayne suggested would also be amazing, but if you did that it would have to be some type of mechanic where if the host wants to revive someone later the dead can't see gy chat / whispers and if they choose not to use that game mode then dead people can still see gy / whispers / etc.

survivor's dead because the site was going down for 8-12 hour periods for a while, and we couldn't finish a game without the site crashing. it made it nearly impossible, and one of the trophy games ended up being finished on skype because of it. if you're here to fix bugs, like matt said, i think the community would be willing to come back.

Sorta like sandbox we've reached a slump but once shwartz took over he got everything up in gear again and i think survivor lobby intends to do something similar.


I've suggested this before, but to help Survivor lobby, also revamp host. It should also be able to give out items (even ones that can be used the same day. imagine like "the winner of this challenge gets a gun they can use" and stuff like that). Also cool would be to (since it's a thing now) allow hosts to "resurrect" players in the GY, and that will be able to be incorporated into the games.


this is a smart idea, host should also have max voting power like king imo
