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.
Math Teacher ( not sure if village or 3r party yet ) - Every night gives a " HIgher or lower game " to a target and chosses a number - The higher or lower game means the target has to guess the number math teacher selected, it only has 3 lives, and if fails will say if the number was higher or lower - If the target fails, they will die ( if math teacher is 3rd party ) OR be revealed ( if math teacher is village ) - if the target guesses on the first try, they will receive a crystal ball. - if 3rd party, he has to kill 2 persons to win
Sometimes when I'm trying to construct a setup, it's hard to see if all the roles I have implemented will work in any situation.
Currently, only bringing the setup to test in the public can be done, and it's hard to collect the outcome as the players don't bother to respond you whether a role will be working as intended.
I think we need a setup tester that allows one individual to freely switch into any players in a testing game and simulate the outcome.

Also
Give different message colors
Make Death Messages keep the red, but give wills black, carols green, dreams blue, and so on. People will be more likely to see them

I feel like President should be unmade and Secretary should be updated to be like it. Where the town knows who she is and they have to protect her, but maf don't win automatically if she dies because with Secretary atm it's super detrimental to a town win, she should just be mafia in her current state
-If in game, the Cult will be notified that there's a Cultafia
-The Cultafia will act as a factional kill for Cult, so that everyone can vote who to kill or convert
-The Cult can't kill and convert at the same time. If you do so, you will be instead role blocked from doing any action for the night
-If Cultafia is placed as the only cultist in-game, the Cultafia will instead become a Cult Leader (for the time being) and can recruit one person before turning back into a Cultafia
-The Cultafia will have only three shots before turning into a regular cultist
Carries one gun that can be shot during the day. If the gun kills someone, only the Dictator will know their role. Dictator will be revealed when they shoot. Sided with the mafia.
basically a janned sniper with a flaw so it doesnt replace that role
Meeting maf. Once per game, can choose to follow a person (day action like invis) Shadow cannot see the role but can see the vote and has the power to OT the vote of that person.
I'm pretty sure all of this is in the role desc. so it should work like this. As for the will reveil, my personal view is that they shouldn't be reveiled, but I could see why you'd argue

Hardly anyone writes who they visit in their wills anyway so yeah that doesn't need to be changed
