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.
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

But then again i only suggested this role to put more pressure on hammering setups as maf cant do much except either 1) cc pr Or 2) not act scummmy I dont know, whenever i turn pr in voltron doesnt like it scumhunting comes easy to me (only in that one though). I just wanted somethin to help balance maf :p

Ok Whistleblower vote should only work when another mafia partner is alive or when town outnumbers mafia by 2. So like in a solo 5 way, or 2 maf 7 town. Basically not allowing mafia to force a nl in lylo or mylo
I am here for three years and you decide to put a cat related roll when I want to leave? Not cool!!!!!!! You can't make it until I like get unbanned in January!
cat ladies are good people not mafia! no cat killing is tolerated
I think that your time is better spent fixing problems with this site, instead of making new roles!!!! like there was a bug where you can't even activate your accounts...
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
I feel the visiting mafia part is important too since it makes him a threat to the mafia immediately, and depending what roles are in the game it can lead to some interesting plays. This part isn’t as necessary as the 3rd party part, but I feel this will make the role more complete rather than passive.
Imagine a setup with 9 or 10 people including Detective (the only town that can find the seer) and a Seer that can pick their role if they die. It could be a masterpiece.
The seer appearing a role they choose in case they die makes it an AWESOME idea. A 10-player game, slightly townsided in play, but with a seer, and not with many other pr's (at most 2 prs) would be fantastic.
jack the ripper sucks change cat lady because i dont want to kill cats robinhood is like, super niche and wont be played VP is cool but make him townsided and remove the mafia thing instead of gossiper just make invisible man available in main lobby if the seer dies the game should revert to a normal mafia game whistleblower sucks (i dont think you should be allowed to nullify votes) soldier is /shrug PM and PT are cool but it should be permanent after n1
I interpreted it as only being able to choose one role per game so if you're town you'd start or show up as blue and if you're mafia you look like nilla before you choose your power role.
when talkin about the ripper dunno if it should take things like gifted guns and knives into account, maybe only the roles that have innate killing capability. there are plenty of them already.
