New Roles

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

Since these could result in hateful comment vios could you add these to the list before you go? https://pastebin.com/raw/WJ6Y153D

Swear words on the other hand I agree with Shayne that they probably should be taken off, inherently hateful slurs is different then saying some curse words that's a part of a lot of peoples vocabulary.

That red on grey background for the role cards really contrast with each other. Think you could go for a cooler/less saturated red?


sure, send me a color code!

You call it a hate speech filter but no one is mad they can't use hate speech. They are mad they can't swear.

Always know the site is ok when people come around to the hate speech filter. Alright, I'll wrap up some stuff and likely be back to check on the site in a couple months!

Naw don't take it off completely. Just remove d_ick, b_itch, and c_unt. If a word isn't a word you can get vio-d for, allow it to be said or people will just go around the filter.

Agreed. Just take it off completely.

The role logic n1 works great from my brief experience! It'll definitely be very helpful to everyone. Will you still be adding the lobby owner's ability to toggle the filter? So we do not have to deal with some of the more random and arbitrary words in it that aren't slurs.


ok awesome! alright, lemme work on that, but it isn't a priority


Maybe just take off non-slurs off the filter? Would be easier.

It just makes it more frustrating for people, imo, bc if someone really wants to say "sweater" (let's pretend it's a slur in this scenario) they can just say "_sweater," "s*weater," sw-eater," ect ect and easily bypass the filter.

Now, there is also the option of someone to use a script to get around the filter. In theory, this is not against the rules as long as they are not using the script to use any slurs of hate speech. So, if someone enabled the script to be able to say "D_ick Cheney" that is afaik not breaking any rules, however that script does also allow them to say "sweater," which they can be vio-d for either way.

So I worry that by putting non-slurs in the filter, you are just pushing people to bypass it.

Filtering slurs and whatnot is really admirable and all that, but adding random swear words to it (we can say w_hore but not b_itch?) has kind of made it pointless.

hey uhhh lucid maybe if its not too hard you could proofread all of the system messages and add periods to some of them because grammar is always important to look nice!!!
