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
Poll
What is your favorite role mentioned in this thread?
In all honesty, 200 roles are a lot and that's great. I'd like to present the top 3 most upvoted suggested roles on EM, see if you like any for the big two hundred in honor of the community who's suggested so much :)
Also, here's a Mafia Medium icon I made (I call it Crank):
I don't know if it's entirely clear to see, but he's holding a dollar bill next to the crystal ball. Sort of to make it look like he's into the paranormal just to get cash.
BTW in games w/ graveyard roles - moderators will have to enforce a rule where you can't chat about the game in the chat.
Typically everyone asks "Who's mafia?" after they die, or explain their FOSes further, but we can't do that now, right?
Would it be considered cheating?
I would recommend that dead players in graveyard games should keep playing as if they're on their team, even if their role has been revealed. If they want to explain their FOSes further that seems like fair game to me, but "who's mafia?" and a Mafia member answering honestly should be gamethrow.
What about a town role that after dying always gets resurrected instead of Resurrectionist's (or other brining back to lfie role's) target. Can't think of a name though lol.
Maybe call it Lazarus? Or should that be a town role that starts in the graveyard?
It should start alive and show as blue in the graveyard (In the setups that reveal). Lazarus works.

we also need a new name for the place the dead goes once they are exorcised, like a graveyard graveyard haha
Would just calling it "the Afterlife" work? It's nonspecific and also plays into real-life ghost lore (according to some western cultures, ghosts pass on to the afterlife only if there goals are fulfilled or they are forced there in some way.)
