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?
A "text-based chat mafia" is why people come here, though. If they want a less serious, more graphic based option, there are ready alternatives. Main lobby players rely on text and quoting for their reads and scum hunting. Using a graphic based interface, even if it was vastly better than the current graphical mode, would likely be more of a hindrance than a help. Even in unranked and sandbox, no one is interested in an improved upon graphical mode. EM is a "text-based mafia game." That is the very core of what the site is. There are a myriad of things that could be done to improve the site, as well as make it easier and more intuitive to newcomers (which is its biggest weakness imo). So I just think it's funny that a side function should be a priority.
no one uses graphical mode because its outdated, hence why we should update it and make it an available feature that could make the game more than just text based chat mafia
Are we playing the same game? I know you mean well (perhaps you are being satirical?), but of all the things that could be improved upon on the site (including things that are outright broken) you pick a meme function that no one uses?
also please add d*ke to the list of words in the filter. i think this is important bc its a slur, and admin also censored someone with that username so it should be appropriate to include within the HC game filter.
graphical mode actually doesnt let me go where i click, so fixing that would be hot
also: -more legible chat box (too small) -revealed roles show in graphical mode
problems with graphical is that its just an extra feature for fun, right now its not as accessible in terms of quotes or reviewing past conversation. its more of an accessory to the game... but also hurts the game if thats the only mode you play in. perhaps it could be a popup or a side window that you can see along with the text mode?
-maf, meeting -Once per game, you can choose to activate those effects when leading in maf kill, activate before the kill happens:
+steal all guns, vests, knifes, keys from killing target +cant steal fake vest bc theyre not metal +explode all bombs and that cover similar thing Lucid just made. +door means nothing, so your visit goes through key and jailed
-if driven, kill both the driver and yourself -autofix fabbed gun
2. Joker:
-Maf, meeting -Each night, visit one person to give turn all real items they have into fabbed one. -Each night, visit a random person to give them a random fabbed item -Whoever visiting joker will be silenced the next day -Each day Joker can send one laughing message to the town (like crier. But this one is for funny purpose)
3. Environmentalist
-Town sided -Once per game, at night, can use your environment effect -If used, negate the activation of Rain, snow or famine during that night and the following day. A message will appear to the whole town if something is canceled -If used, all the poisoned and infected zombied will be healed
4. Mushroom
-Town sided -Each night select a person -That night, that person will use their meeting twice (same target in both meetings, except if its a random meeting) -Roleblock does not block this additional meeting
5. Fisherman (changed from Sogin/waluigi)
-Maf, meeting who sees all the roles at the beginning -Each night, select a role in game and a person -If correct, kill the person and get a fish (bread) -If not, steal a random item from that person -Get a message if your fishing works
6. Party pooper -Maf sided, meeting -Once per game, can cancel everyone night meeting and throw out a party that night -Starts the party with an anarch bomb -If people have gun,knife,snowball or any day time activation they can use them in this party -If people are in jail or lock their door with key, they wont go to the party
-every night he can choose one of the in game roles (much like werewolf and tailor can). -he will receive a report telling them one person who has that role. -sided with the mafia
After reading the Duelist suggestions I think somewhat "balanced" third party version would be:
-Sided with third party. -Every night challenges one person to a Duel, that takes place the next day and is anonymous. (town doesn't know who is fighting although they will know who died as the result of the Duel) -The Duelist and his target get informed about the Duel that's about to happen. -After a 10 second countdown both players get an option to shoot the anonymous target untill their opponent dies. (They have only one person on the list and it's an "anonymous". Multiple times because vests. The countdown and the info about incoming duel is crucial so this role doesn't become an insta win in Sandbox) -Whoever survives the Duel wins. -Duelist wins the game upon winning his second Duel.
But then again there are some other problems... Like what if you duel Gramps/Granny/Angel's target. Therefore I have mixed feelings about this role.
Nomad wins with alignment, but afaik there is no "Nomad wins" messesage. If nomad gets maf alignment and maf and nomad lynch town, it should say both "mafia wins" and "nomad wins" imo. It currently only says "mafia wins"
