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

Need to have a Grinch role to add to the Xmas role list.

Once per game, can steal every item from everyone. After next night, gives every item back.

I dunno, if they should be able to use the items or not though :P

Robin Hood sounds pretty broken if they can't give a stolen item to mafia. Don't they automatically know all the mafia in the game?

Look forward to the seer role. It reminds me of resistance
We should definitely have a Resistance game mode for EM.
i do agree. shouldn't be hard to implement.
Golbolcoalmost 8 years ago
Oh, that's weird.

In that case, I would argue that Comedian shouldn't be able to target the same person two nights in a row.

Testing out Comedian, found 2 bugs in 1 game.

Journalist who goes on Comedian's target does not get the system message.

If the comedian targets the same person 2 nights in a row, the person does not get anything the second night
I think that second bug is intentional, similar to how Caroler works.
However Comedian can target the same person unlike caroller.

hey, i don't like the idea of 'killing cats'. can we think of a better action?
Hibiki
you leave the cat to mind its own business (cats like this) then it reports to the cat lady
you invite the cat in and spend the whole night petting the cat (cats like this) but you don't visit anyone at night
nice! yea i like that
Shwartz99almost 8 years ago
it would be a pretty drastic change but you could make it work like falconer where the person receiving the cat doesn't get to choose at all

Oh and I revised cat lady's icon because the hat looked a bit funny:

https://epicmafia.com/images/roleimg.png?1uybvsvfqd has the old version which imo is really ugly

You simply can't give items to people who are not sided with the village. I don't get what you mean people in gy.

ah yeah, those 2 are straightforward. if you can get icons, i'll build them
Commuter:
Just a thought. Rather than it be commuter does not count towards town total, just have it be that it appears as blue.

e.g.

Commuter:
-Any role that attempts to visit the commuter at night will be role blocked.
-Appears as villager to self.
-Sided with the village.

This would make it so that while it's argueably the highest form of immunity to night actions, it can't be abused as a PR, but rather an unpredictable element when night visisting blues.

e.g. Having Commuter & Hooker. Cop on a blue claim->no report. Are they commuter or did you get hooked?

Robin Hood is good but it should be able to steal from mafia as well, I think I forgot to take that out when we were tweaking the roles.
