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

& as others have said, I am TOTALLY all for making a tutorial or whatnot. Perhaps if it is your first 10 games on the site, there is an arrow on the righthand side saying "DON'T FORGET TO VOTE," and a link on top to the learn page saying "Don't know what your role does? Click here and search!"

Yes, this site needs more people, but we don't need a bunch of new people who are going to join a game on the app, not bother to learn how the game/site works, and close the app in the middle of a game. If we get "hundreds" (as someone suggested) of that kind of player, it would ruin the site.

I know you also discussed having a hierarchy of roles so certain roles would only appear with other roles present, did you ever implement that? I know it's there (kinda) for killer/admirer. What about Cthulhu can't be present without cult? Mechanic can't be without fab/sab?
i haven't, but i could
I don't think you should tbh. Imo that defeats part of the idea of closed roles being random.

Hopefully i can stay around, help the site, after all this is where i started playing. I always said i will returm if things are better.

Beebob, i still havent forgotten how you blocked me when i needed help even through you were moderator. But for now i just want more people to play and the site to be more friendly. Fixing one problem at a time is good enough ^^

Hey, is there any way you can implement mentioning roles in veg messesages like you do in death messesages? So like it says Bob, the cop, died within seconds, it could also say Bob, the cop, has turned into a vegetable, instead of just Bob has turned into a vegetable.
Mentioning this again in case it got buried.

seer has a bug. currently, EVERY ROLE receives a notification about who mafia is, in the pregame.

I think the mentoring system will be useless with the hundreds of new players. They don't care about mentoring. They just want to play.


They should rather know the rules and figure the rest by themselves

i can also add google account one-click login, but is that even popular with kids these days? i heard everyone is leaving facebook? what accounts should i allow you all to login with besides email?
gmail is fine. I dont think a lot of people will be logging in with facebook.

id also recommend for new players when they sign up, giving them an option to sign up for a mentor. I dont think enough new players know about the mentoring system or how to get to it, and a pretty crucial part of playing EM is understanding how all the mechanics work

Gmail.

No one uses facebook, yes, but gmail is only used for log in those day.

For the mobile app you really ahoulsnt just make a mobile version of the aite. Make somethong way simpler with a simple interface.


I'd suggest making a new thread specifically for the mobile app and ideas connected with it.
