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

Which graveyard roles are being created? I only know of the Medium and Ressurector, I saw other suggestions but didn't keep up with the ones that were agreed to be made.

I should remind you all: Lucid's not going to produce anymore non-graveyard roles for the time being except the ones we have on the list. I encourage you to start posting graveyard-related roles instead.


I will not rest until we have Sharon.

Jacker

-Town sided role who uses standard 52 card-deck.
- At the beginning of each night, throw 1 face down card away and pick 1 face up card
- If that face up card is a Jack, Queen, King, pick again until you get a number
- After that, count all the numbers of the cards you picked up from that night and all the nights before and take the last digit
(- Ex: If you picked Q, 3 and 5, 4, 6, 2 K the nights before, then the total number is: 3+5+4+6+2 = 20. So last digit is 0)
-If you draw all the cards, you die
-That night, Jacker get one of those effects based on the digit:

1. Get a gun
2. Get a knife and immediately stab a random townsided person at the beginning of the day
3. Get 3 breads
4. Be poisoned, fiddled and thlued
5. Get an anar bomb
6. Be naked
7. Get an extra life
8. Be cupid with a random person
9. Get a dream
0. Turn yourself into gambler

-That person has to play in graphical mode for the next day/night phase.
-Does not attend mafia meetings
-Sided with the mafia

Heres a role icon if you consider this role!


remember painter lol

anyway what this role boils down to is

>visits one player at night
>that player can't read chat history

let's go with this implementation because it think graphical mode should be removed it's dumb.
so suppose that it works like that. i would argue it weaker than fiddler and just becomes annoying. "someone remind me what the cop said yesterday i've been painted"

I'm not sure what the point of it is meant to be though.

I guess it has to target mafia and town players, but even then it's weird, because you can't use it on CCs without serious wifom games going on.

Idk, maybe if it just RNGs some immunity for someone each day. Or for one person once a game.

Except that it's a mafia player, so it's going to out someone as scum. The only use I could see for it then would be at lylo when you or your partner is getting lynched and you force immunity and waste a town vote. Sort of like a paralyser, but forcing all votes on a player to not count rather than locking them in place.

Maybe make it

- Once per game can use night meeting to make a player immune to votes
- Immunity isn't announced
- Can target any role except self

Hmm, you're right. I think I made an error while tweaking it.

Any suggestions to correct it?

Also what programs do you guys use to make icons for the roles? Just curious


I just used paint and edited role images from the learn tab. They're like 20x20 and you can zoom in and edit pixel by pixel.

I used to use Paintbrush for Mac, but I switched to Photoshop. if you're on Windows, MS Paint or GIMP should do you well enough.
