This is a dedicated thread for users to bounce around and brainstorm on ideas for new roles, items, game mechanics or anything else to improve and build upon our beloved Mafia game.
Back in 2015 Sims made a thread asking if anyone had any ideas for roles since Lucid was looking to make some new ones (found here: https://epicmafia.com/topic/71173?page=1) That thread's dead now, but it's always good to try to bring the community together and come up with new stuff for the game.
Some of you might know my reputation for designing new roles and my passion for Mafia. EpicMafia is a pretty cool website and can always use some new stuff to spice up and remix the usual game formula, and I know a few of you have ideas of your own.
NOTE: If you're here to complain about Sandbox moderation or the site mods, please don't.

Look ok Lucid if you add profile pets, since this is a mafia site we should be able to steal other people's pets or bash them to death with bats.
Either you add this feature or I give you a box full of hornets.
this website is about mafia originally and it has already gotten away from its original purpose so much now that its more social than gaming at this point so i dont see how "profile pets" add anything meaningful to this website. thats just my piece

every time the vulture scavenges for a dead player's items, it should also take their, uhh, victory.... juices....
5 victory juices for an expedited win if not already alive at the end of the game...
True, but it's a little similar to the CM or WW in that regard, right? How about it wins if it survives to the end of the game OR it can end the game early by stealing 2 or 3 or whatever amount of items?

I wasn't aware I was on a site for 11 yo girls

the role icon looks a bit like a protoss unit portrait
I remember finding this when I first started making roles! I dig it, though I'm worried it might be a bit niche. GuiltyTownie raises some valid issues with it. Maybe tweak it so that it has to gather items to win? Change it to a Magpie? Leaving it as is is cool too though.
the real way to deter phil from doing anything is to badger him witless about getting something done. if we continue profile pet discussion for the next 4 pages, i imagine it won't happen.
the unfortunate reality is that unranked statistics are not tracked in any form besides a temporary 'recent activity' log. grant unranked players the same privileges you would offer ranked players for their time.
certain amount of wins on a role will unlock it as a type of pet?

site features that require points(joining a family, commenting, karma'ing, etc.) require points and people just pointfarm it. While profile pets may promote activity for a while I can promise you there will just be petfarming. I'd say try to incorporate a social traffic and a game side to it.

training your pet (jesus christ i actually just used those words) really should be contingent on in-game activity and not social traffic. people need an incentive to play the game and not treat this website like facebook.
