New Roles

JonSnowalmost 8 years ago

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

Silencer and fiddler aren't allowed in competitive because it literally encourages people to break the rules.

Request to put Petricigy in timeout

Silencer and fiddler aren't suitable for competitive. This role is. What is difficult to understand here?

??? you're making no sense on purpose, sorry for being a bit critical of something that seems obsolete.

Not a mod, but I'm putting a list together anyway.

Which one is Wizard?
you should be a role mod! it's the townsided driver
Lol thanks for the endorsement. It's basically been my goal this whole time.

Not a fan of that name, though. Can we call it "Cyclist" instead? It's environmentally friendly!

So... perhaps unban them... instead of putting in a role that does nothing...

why in the world would underling be a suitable replacement for something like silencer and fiddler? those are good roles, while talking or not seeing the conversation may suck it's a part of the game and banning it from comp is dumb

at least it has a safe home in sandbox ^-^

ok sure easy to build, just need an icon

It's a replacement for fiddler or silence.r https://epicmafia.com/setup/949732 https://epicmafia.com/setup/42512

Fiddler is unfun because it removes someone from the game and doesn't actually help mafia, and can hinder mafia. Silencer is unfun for same reason. These 2 setups were played in comp (Yin Yang was a different variant) but stopped being played beacuse people hated being silenced. With Underling, the same exact mechanic and reason for existing would still be there ( a non killing mafia that can CC a role and pretrend to be PR and doesn't know partners and can visit to show up on tracker/watcher reports) but without the unfun mechanic of fiddler and silencer.

yela
isn't there a comp setup with fiddler? i remember playing it like 6 months ago
It's been banned for ages because it takes players out of the game and is no fun. I remember someone arguing to unban it when I was modding, but there wasn't any support
That's why lucid should add Underling!!! (Or some other role with the same exact mechanics but a different name)

https://epicmafia.com/role/15710

It would replace fiddler and silencer in setups with those without being imbalanced.
oo good idea
You said it was a good idea. C'mon, man. This owuld be a role that's actually used in competitive and not just some sandbox role that people flip 1/50 games.

Literally why are you building recruit when its the complete opposite point of the role you originally said was a good idea???? It literally takes no programming whatsoever to add this role AT ALL. ITS LITERALLY THE SAME CODING AS SILENCER EXCEPT IT DOESNT SILENCE

Who created the avi for the cat lady? That is my favourite of the new bunch (even though I keep thinking that they are wearing a pirate's hat).
