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

Here is something that should be added to the game:

Once the game fills no one to be able to leave.

It is just common sense really. The 10 seconds cooldown is just so people to be prepared for the start of the game.
This seems like it could inadvertently enable harassment, imo.

-Know user A hates me.
- See user A is in a game that needs one more person.
-Join
Said user is judged acordingly IF he does anything wrong and the game is refunded apropriately. Getting killed/suspected by someone who hates you is not too much of a problem unless it ruins the game.

Many users here use the excuse "User A is harrasing me cos i say so even if he doesnt do anything wrong and i want my extra friend to join"

And there are lot of spammers who join and leave constantly.

If you are not going to play and leave 1 sec before the game starts, why join?

It also stops those guys who leave too late and end up suiciding instead of leaving.

-Jester:
•Sided with mafia.
•Sees self as Fool and appears in reports as third party.
•Doesn't participate on mafia meetings.
•Has a fool meeting that instead of doing nothing, it kills the selected player.
interesting, but only works with an actual fool in the game?

added graverobber and crank! will add resurrectionist, exorcist, and ghostbuster tomorrow (may need a better name for ghostbuster)
Clairvoyant?

Would work in multi-setups or setups with fool, but you'd easily learn if you were maf or not by d2.
I'll let Golbolco decide! Lol

I like it!

I just realized, we're not far off from the 200th role. Maybe we should make it a special one.

I think that post-lynch meetings should only apply to the first lynch, unless it's like a hunter getting lynched on the second or something similar. That way you can't have the governor overturn twice, it just rolls over to night.
yeah, i can build a second picker in the village meeting like cupid and other roles, maybe call it an electrocution chair?
I can see it working.

Hacker seems like hell to code though... you need to make a reverse action for each role in the game.
pretty much! i don't think it's possible

"Apparition (Reverse Medium)
- In Graveyard can select a living player at night, if that player survives to the next day they are able to communicate with them.
- Sided with Mafia."

I don't really like this role, because the living player won't need to respond to the apparition. What does the mafia gain from this role being on their team, really?

I think a mafia-sided Medium that's meant to trick town roles would be better, especially if said role meets with the Mediums at the séance.
Maybe the Apparition can see all system messages once they’ve died - so they can tell the Mafia stuff.

but i'll accept the challenge if you all want it lol

troublemaker is going to be hard to code, especially with post village meetings like hunter or governor
