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

in the case of multiple seers, does mafia have to guess all the seers?
probably the one that knows the mafia. Otherwise the useless seers will act like blues, while still knowing who they are.
but.. "If there are two mafias and multiple Seers, the knowledge of the mafias will be split between them."
but If there are multiple Seers in a game, only one Seer will know the mafia at any given time.

Probably delete the split knowledge, because mafia would have a way higher chance of winning with more seers alive.

Also the seer would make a freakin epic variant to drunken disguise party. Like substitute it for mimic or something.

I added a comment on comedian. It should be worded a different way for better understanding.

what good is a stolen cat tho
You could use it on someone yourself, potentially either confirming a role or roleblocking scum.

I still like the idea about killing cats.

hmm, besides for jack the ripper, all these roles are good. i'll start building them tomorrow!
Please remember to change cat lady's description to something that doesn't involve killing cats, such as
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

Also, Whistleblower shouldn't be able to change someone's vote if that person is voting for a Mafia member.
Genius!

how many cats does the cat lady have?
I figured it was infinite. If we retheme to Cat, then the Cat would just go out every night.

In a setup where roles don't want to be roleblocked and would rather have their role found out, cat lady will know who's a power role and who's not regardless of whether or not they kill the cat. Any power role which chooses not to kill the cat will probably be best to just out themself the following day. Any non-visiting role could also out themself because they killed the cat, which would clear them. This being said, too many cats would likely make cat lady op, so I'd go with one; cat lady gets one forced outage/roleblock if the cat is killed, or more if the cat is left alive.

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

In this respect, because I believe there should only be one cat, we could just retheme to cat.
