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

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.

Resurrectionist
- Visits a dead player (every night or once per game?) and is able to bring them back to life.
- Sided with Town.
should be Mad Scientist or Dr. Frankenstein or something.

Have it be a 50% chance of them being alive until killed, 50% chance of them only lasting one night + one day after the night they are revived - so if they are a role that has a report, they can report, then they just crumble
I think this overcomplicates a simple idea.
yea agreed, let's stay simple for now until we saturate all the mechanics for graveyard
adminover 7 years ago
we also need a new name for the place the dead goes once they are exorcised, like a graveyard graveyard haha

lucid are you gonna build the Underling

it would take like 2 seconds :(

The reason is, silencer and fiddler have been banned from being played in competitive. This role serves the same function but without the aspects that make silencer and fiddler banned in competitive. Also no recruit is not the same thing

Undertaker
- Visits one person each night, that person is unable to be resurrected that night.
- Sided with Maria.
all great!
now taking icons for all of these! 10 tokens to be awarded for each accepted icon that is in the style of Blave!
Do we really need Undertaker? Can't that be pretty much done by hooker?

Also, I've made a thread compiling the various game changes I've made, so they don't get lost. https://epicmafia.com/topic/91223
yea i'll add those. the reason is mainly because this site used to have only 20 roles or so and everyone knew what they were

How difficult would it be to allow players to leave GY once all dead-related actions are done (unless there's a butterfly present or something)?

"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.
man, mafia sided Medium would be fun too.. too many good ideas, gotta build them all

Speaking of guns, could you fix funnersmith and perhaps trollsmith?
can you link me to the roles, and perhaps describe the original logic? or maybe i can just build them into the game but classify them as 'fun' roles
https://epicmafia.com/role/4827 It's basically a gunsmith, but it also gives a gun to anyone who interacts with it at night also.

Ghost
-If dead, can choose one person to kill during the night once per game.
-Does not meet with the mafia.

Vengeful Spirit
-If killed, the spirit can choose one person every night.
-If that person was their killer, they'll get attacked.
-Wins if they successfully kill their killer.
-Sided with the third party.

Possessor
-If dead, the possessor can force one person to use their actions on someone else once per game.
-Sided with the village.
this is great too, Possessor is a bit difficult, but the other two can build immediately

If we're making graveyard roles, can we update our wills so we can leave people inheritances? Like if we die with a gun we can give it to someone else?
that's a great idea!
