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?
And didn't I tell you that I think you do it backwards? :P
Hey actually, could we consider doing this Lucid? I remember it was a pretty popular suggestion a while ago. With Gunslinger/Sharpshooter, it could be even more fun. I just hate its name.
village sided any non-killing role visiting it will be roleblocked if night killed, a message will appear to everyone with 3 names, one of which is whoever killed it (whether it be maf, vig, killer etc)
Curious what yall think of this: I hear that a lot of what helps new users is spectating once they die, and seeing how people play certain roles. Currently, once you die, the only way to know someone's role is basically seeing their night meeting.
What if, once you die, everyone's icon shows as their role?
it's both. i.e. a niche role needs to be considered in the context of a setup and a more general role needs to be considered against popular roles
edit: just had an idea it would be cool to see which roles are the most used. obviously blue nilla cop doctor but i'd like to see, for instance, what percentage of setups have a tailor in them.
Not really the setup, but instead it's interactions with the other famous roles that appears in competitive setups often, it's nearly impossible to have the "perfect setup".
I'm not a fan of punishing the town for lynching the mafia except in very special cases (like Nephew/Cub from Ultimate Werewolf.) Imagine a soccer player getting a yellow card for making a goal, does that sound correct to you?
You're going to have to explain this more. I don't want to redo creepy girl, I think it's fine.
I know what the roles are. Tell me why they're not competitive by your definition.
I don't understand your objection to Justice. Commuter is a role for scumclaiming and causing confusion when hookers/drunks/roleblockers are in the setup.

also lucid. take out chance from roles, its sht
deletedover 6 years
thats true if it wasnt because theyre just a combination of features that current simple roles do and sometimes a twist is added.
thats why theres nothing competitive with surgeon.
