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

Let's say player A is dog handler and player B is cat lady

Player C is a blue and A and B both give their animals to C. C will not have any animals to deal with at night, And A and B don't know that.

Player D is a mafia and A gives a dog to them but B chooses not to give anyone a cat. D can claim that they didn't receive any animals and thus got visited by cat lady. Just as long as D entertains the dog.

yea, i don't like B lol.. how would the dog and cat ever meet? you mean if cat lady and dog handler sends to each other?

i'll prob be also adding usurper tomorrow. thanks Golbolco for compiling the icons + descriptions for me!

Usurper
Visits one player each night.
If that player is mafia, they will convert to nilla mafia.
If Usurper is in the game, mafia meetings are anonymous.
Wins if alive when mafia wins and there are only nilla mafia and traitors left.
Mafia does not win if Usurper is alive.

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.

actually come to think of it, B is kinda op and gruesome.

If A happens then dh and cl don't receive any info or block anyone and the person receiving both animals won't know they received them.

What about a town-sided Cat Lady?

Dog Handler
-During the day can choose to send the dog to a player
-If the player entertains the dog, they are role blocked
-If the player ignores the dog, the Dog Handler is alerted of the player's role the next day
-Sided with the village

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES ALL THE YES

Also if a dog and a cat meet what should happen

A. The actions cross out
B. Dog kills cat and cat lady commits suicide

I kinda like B because it gives DH an opportunity to also play the role of vig if they play their cards correctly but A would prob be simpler.

there's like 5 people here. darkb and lucid were on board. you and some random weren't.

wires idea isn't farfetched, it works like gambler. but better.

it also doesn't destroy a perfectly good role.

You forget how many setups have multiple bombs. Also, the Mafia shouldn't be told if they have found a bomb - making them unsure who is bomb and who isn't. And if there is a Demolition Man aswell they can literally spawn more bombs... just don't use the role in setups where the bombs are so pivotal?

Hm, no comp setups have multiple bombs. I'm only trying to get roles for comp.

The rubbish you suggested with wires was liked by nobody except yourself if we're being honest.

Yours is good, I might be getting too thematic with it

Goon

- Sided with the mafia.
- Does not meet with partners or know who they are.
- Partners do not know their identity either.
- At night all goons meet to recruit another person.
- Does not count toward mafia's majority win condition.
- If they try to convert a mafia or someone already in a group (mason, cult) they all die.

what if they die when recruiting law enforcement roles, but they have a 50% battle like bodyguard if they go against masons/cult

That's not bad, I'm not sure what should happen. Open to suggestions.
