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

can someone explain to me slowly what niche butler fills?
is it not just godfather than shows blue when dead? do we REALLY need that tiny specific change?
why not a no reveal setup or a tailor or use consigliere?



I can see setups where this would be used in competitive. It's a bland role but so are a ton of roles

marine
change soldier to this
sailor

they can be interchangeable variants. Like in a setup with multiple soldiers, they can be like soldier, sailor, marine, or airman (don't have one yet)

i didnt realize whistleblower was maf so here's the updated rolesheet:

if we keep this up, there we will exhaust all possible role combinations of traits. which brings me to my suggestion:

The Wildcard:
>Upon adding the wildcard to a setup, create its rules with the custom role creator tool
>If there are multiple unique wildcards in the setup, they will be named Wildcard 1, Wildcard 2, etc. (this could use a better naming scheme)
>Until such time that we can mouse over roles in closed roles setups, wildcard is banned in closed roles.

"but sl0nderman then lucid will lose tokens" he's already giving this roles away by adding these roles that are just mismashes of existing effects: friendly cop, butler, cat lady... most of the things suggested in this thread, older roles like nurse and surgeon

I have thought of another role that fits with the other afterlife roles (Medium, Ressurector, etc). How about a role that, like Mort, has the ability to choose one of the dead players and destroy their soul - the user whose soul has been destroyed is unable to participate in any in-game activities (such as communicating with the Medium or being resurrected).

Thanks. It's like 3 years old or so, one of my many colt storage icons for common ideas. Cyclist is another one.


Do you have an icon that could work for "spirit/graveyardwhisperer (name undecided)"

this role:

Graveyard Whisperer/Spirit

-Once dead, can send all the living a single message from the grave.
-initially sided with the village.
-50% chance of turning into mafia when killed.

The Whistleblower doesn't look like Maf at all, I think they should have a dark top on, although I have no art skills lol
