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.
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?
i'm here to add to my ongoing list of bad role ideas
Vampire -Each night, the vampires choose one person. -That person has a 50% chance of becoming a vampire, and a 50% chance of bleeding. -If the vampires visit a priest, they all die. -Wins if everyone's a vampire.
i have mentioned this before, but there was this one rarted dawnstart setup i played with 1 monkey, 3 snowmen, and 1 prosecutor. all i did was out day 1 as monkey, and have them self. i nled, and prosec already voted.
but even with the self-vote of 1, i could have just had them cross and hammer by nling, the person who dies was voted by the prosec. tbh i think this role is just a sucky role that is only meant for bw setups that don't involve lylo day 1
Yes. Also, for the love of god! Make prosecutor's self-vote count for 1. I mean, generally judge doesn't need it because nobody selfs to kill judge. But you could make it apply to judge too. The thing is, a LOT of good potential prosecutor setups are just impossible thanks to town's ability to have everyone self and the prosecutor would die. It's the reason my best setup had to be mod downvoted to be removed from ranked because I thankfully noticed this before anyone abused it to pointfarm.
So I was powering through some old roles and can we have a complete rehash of the chef? I think on it's own the idea is brilliant, but it has two caveats.
A. chef shouldn't be able to chef themselves. I saw that on the comments for it.
B. the chef meeting SHOULDN'T roleblock or save. It should be a meeting that is purely for investigative purposes that ONLY that chef knows that participants of.
The advent of quiet night has made chef a much more interesting role competitively. It's possible to CC chef now.
I'd like to put it in a setup but the role logic for it vs it's description makes it too much of a powerhouse.
Do you? I don't ever see it, but I stick to main lobby. Cat Lady was intended as a role who didn't know who she was sending a cat to and would only find out the player and their role if they let the cat in. But if they don't, they're roleblocked. It should also probably only apply to non-maf players and cycle through different players, but I never actually specified that so I don't blame staff for that one. It was originally supposed to be a mafia role, but I suggested it as a town-modified role. That's why I didn't think it mattered so much if the visiting was random. Either way, with it maf-sided, I was originally planning to sell or at least utilise my version of mafia in something like Tabletop Simulator, so it was a slap in the face to have my role misused like that.
See, I was banned at the time the role was added. Not due to breaking a rule, but because I asked to have my accounts banned. But Jon wanted me to contact him if I wanted the accounts unbanned. I needed to have them unbanned so I could request them to remove Cat Lady from the poll but Jon didn't get on Discord. So it got implemented and I created this new account and now mods keep refusing to unban my accounts. They probably don't want the person who's actually credited for coming up with the role posting about it.
Cat Lady role still needs to be removed. I was working on my own version of the werewolf/mafia format which the Cat Lady role was a part of, but I decided to suggest it on EM because I wanted to improve the site just a little. Then Jon and Lucid completely changed what the role did, making it incredibly useless in the process. Seriously, do you see anyone put Cat Lady in a setup? No.
maybe impersonator, twin of Troublemaker. Chaos can just be like a regular villager, but with a purple shirt (like commuter, but red-violet) and olive-green eyes or something, and having two a double arrow in front of his face, like a <==>
Reposting my idea and adding a new one: Photographer: .In the morning the Photographer takes a photo of a deceased town member in the cemetery and share the photo with someone. .If the role selected was a town role, then at night the person who received the photo will discover which person the photo shows. .Then they can change or not their role to the deceased member's role if they are a town member. .Sided with village.
Heiress: (Idea from user tinynanami, icon by me) .At night, may choose one dead player to inherit all their items. .Sided with village.
