New Roles

about 7 years

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

you could make like a night jigsaw, and call it captor

Captor
- Picks one player every day to share a meeting.
- The player is forced to kill one person during the night.
- Captor's identity will not be revealed in meeting with target.
- Does not attend mafia meetings.
- Sided with the mafia.

so basically a gator but they get to gate every day, and the person killing is the captor

or like the original idea, go with having it during the day and (if possible, having a separate day meeting) fiddling/silencing them absolutely.

i still think a role similar to jigsaw and a role with 0 votes would be good additions...

A lot of these roles seem not very thought out. Like, granted, not every role to be added ever was, but this latest batch feels... particularly lazy. Like someone dredged up a hat full of mediocre user submitted roles then picked out a dozen at random.

you should submit one!

i dont think the site needs many more roles maybe unpopular opinion idk

Gunslinger/Sharpshooter are both broken.

- Upon being shot and surviving, they cannot do anything with their gun.
- Anyone in the Graveyard will see the "Shoot someone?" meeting, but have no options on the dropdown menu.
- When they survive, game becomes broken; both Gunslinger and Sharpshooter left the game, yet the remaining 2 Sheriffs stayed alive.
- When one of the two had left, the game ended with Mafia win.
- When looking in the game history, the record stops at the first shot, indicating that the game had broken as soon as they survived and stole gun.

Shot person recieved a gun that can't target anyone. Also it seems like it broke the review of the game as well lol.

Eh... dog would be a more powerful detective. You can dog-test and if somebody entertains the dog, they're most likely non-town role.

agree. giving town a dog person seems to take away the power of cat lady.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It seems overpowered.

Maybe If we weren't able to see if it's a cat or a dog but that just sounds stupid - an animal approaches you and you're not sure if it's a dog or a cat.

How is this? New role formerly known as Jigsaw

Puppetmaster
-Mafia/Third Party
-Gives its first player (a puppet) a gun and a target to shoot.
-If the puppet doesn't shoot the target, they will die.
-If the puppet can manage shoot the Puppetmaster instead, they live.

Also love that Parrot idea, really neat.

Try clearing your cache, the icon is definitely there for me.

hm, did this, no go. Lucid's put an icon up already though.

@Lucid we are sick of brown haired white icons, make it red headed and brown (and add the sunnies)

oh sure

matt says

So cat lady can strategically choose not to give a cat anyone if she feels like one of her partners will receive a dog. Said mafia partner could get rbed, and then act like a cat canceled out the dog they received.

sure, maybe there could be a scuffle between the dog and cat and someone may overhear it with some probability
