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 still like the idea of a role who can destroy the "soul" of an individual from the Graveyard meaning that the individual has no ability to participate in any Graveyard activities. It could work like a Mort, starting at the second night they can choose any dead character's soul to destroy and that player will be unable to; talk to Medium, be ressurected, etc.
The first two are being created; Medium and Ressurector. I like the last one, not sure about the third - as wouldn't that player just troll the day if they'd already died?
I think the Graveyard setting should only be active in games with a Graveyard role (Medium, Ressurector, etc). All the other games should remain as they as this change is facing a backlash.
In a Graveyard game it should be compulsory to sit through the game, leaving or suiciding should be treated just the same as leaving a game now.
#1 - Communicates with dead during night #2 - Can revive someone once #3 - Can participate in game for one extra day after death, appears to self as villager #4 - When dead, can possess someone else's body (like guiser)
I never liked the name for Ghoul, personally, but it's kind of late to change it. I would have called it "Coward" if it were up to me: why exactly would a ghoul direct a killer to go kill someone else? Is it a reference to something? Aren't ghouls a kind of cannibalistic monster?
Phantom joins jail or chef meetings and impersonates the participants.
Usurper is a third party role similar to MM that converts mafia members to vanilla.
Mourner asks a yes/no question to the dead and they all vote on how to answer.
I think Phantom might get a rename and re-sprited icon, since names like that should only be associated with graveyard roles, so if anyone wants to suggest a new name to me then feel free.
The shadow is Phantom, the woman is Usurper, and the other woman is Mourner by Moonlightseal. Those first 2 are roles that I sent to Lucid privately when he asked me to comb over the other roles thread.
