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, I propose "mute role sound fx" (e.x. rainmaker sound) AND a separate "mute sound fx" (e.x. gun, snowball, bomb). This will allow people to mute things they want to, but they don't have to just click "mute" which would disable the helpful new day gongs and whatnot

Mum. My mourner was supposed to make this way:
Both the question and the final answer are shown to the whole town, not just the mouner himself ...

@Lucid is there a way to make the Learn page show 300 roles rather than 200? Just because you've hit 208 and now it's creating a second page which might be a bit disjointing for people looking at roles


also i made recruit, put my name on it, i CLAIM IT

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

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.

i'm going to suggest one of my role ideas again

Vengeful Spirit
-If killed, the spirit can choose one person every night.
-If that person was their killer, they'll get attacked.
-Wins if they successfully kill their killer.
-Sided with the third party.

when you were not active on the website there were several bugs that would occur which turned off players from playing Survivor games on em but now that you're back and can fix bugs in a jiffy i think people will be interested again.

There is a massive server on discord with most members of the community though.

Go with the original name and icon as a tribute (it's EM history after all) <3 Or since icons race a direction now, maybe a new icon can be made based on the original that does this

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


yes

I think the reason it doesn't work was because the real funnersmith role was deleted through some exploit or something. It was the most upvoted custom role and a staple for memey sandbox setups, if any custom role deserves to be official it should be that one.

um shayne has literally been screaming his head off about funnersmith for the past month

Hi! Don't know if anyone else has brought this up but this role isn't working properly:

https://epicmafia.com/role/4827
It's supposed to be a gunsmith that also guns anyone who interacts with it, but currently it doesn't gun under any circumstances and also ends up in mafia meetings

Thanks :)


maybe i should just come up with a proper name + icon and make it an official role?

Okay, now that Troublemaker has been built, it can now have a counterpart "Troublemaker 2" in the One Night Stand mode. Now all we gotta do is make something else that can become a townsided "switch roles with me" thing that can be added to the One Night Stand. Best existing option I see so far is the mimic, but 1.) It doesn't make that much sense in the context of the One Night Stand mode, and 2.) It can switch roles with fool, traitor, or mafia. Only other role Switcher that isn't a technical converter is old maid, and that just sounds weird in ONS as well. Probs just call it "Switcher" while retaining the mimic icon, and just edit the Switcher (Mimic 2) mechanics to be able to switch with any role, and give that role the "Mimic/Switcher" role.

Also can kicks be disabled when host is in play so that people don't troll?

Also if you should add such a role, can you disable kicking the timer from games with host like you did timing out?

what if, when priest dies, he/she can protect people from being exorcised? i wonder if that even makes sense
