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.

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
Poll
What is your favorite role mentioned in this thread?
-Catlady is a fun sandbox role, but as mentioned if it's used in a competitive setup it's a free source of "he made me veg" reports and blitzes in autoloss for mafia
-Jack is....fun, i guess. But it's too hard to win with.
-VP is kinda op for town, but it's a nice change
-Gossiper is cool. Setups with whispers and one clear are very town-sided, this helps with that.
-Whistleblower is totally broken lol
-Soldier is....a reverse bomb? It could be fun....but also broken. I think to balance him, you need to make his vote count for nothing in 3way.
-Seer is cool, good luck lucid with the coding :doge:

this would only work with 1 mafia (since 2 mafia left would mean there's another village alongside the soldier) but yeah realistically if they ended up in threeway (1 maf 1 vil 1 soldier) the villager could offer to lynch themselves for autowin
Without shilling my own role (well...yeah i'm shilling), Robinhood is made to go with one armed pr (bp/sheriff) and give it to someone with info (cop/journo...)
So it's basically "comp-ready". Typically i think a setup 3 blues / cop/bp/robin / nilla/lawyer/stalker could be fun and balanced.
And depending on balance, we can even decide that it can flip around miller suits or the such.
So each night it will be a battle of wits. Each role has a counter from the other side. So it just depends on what you pick. For example if you think the mafia will pick enforcer then you ca pick orc and reveal. It can be combined with other roles in the game. Each night you get to pick any role. The list can be determined when the role is created. Last time a thread was made and we proposed this, lucid said he wasnt interested in building roles. But he would some day.

whistleblower is pretty overpowered imo bc lylo days in general would be brutal with it, it makes it 10x easier to blitz
