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)

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)

What is your favorite role mentioned in this thread?
lol ok, i'll think about it, but probably won't be able to get to this :(
Added final two roles (yea I know, but it's the holidays so I consulted Golbolco and thought it was appropriate). Gingerbread man and Polar bear added! Have fun!
How about you make happy hour something that mods/admins can add or remove roles from the pool?
Having every role may make happy hour messy and always be something random, but letting mods be able to edit it would let us have the base roles that are used in a multitude of setups, but also add more niche roles to the pool here and there that are used less to give them more attention.
I've already noticed some new roles are being used a lot more than others, so people hearing something like "Seer will be in the happy hour pool for the next week!" may encourage them to build and play setups with seer more often, for instance, while the normal happy hour formula is not tampered with.
Could even be expanded to how comp is, where 4th place picks the featured setup for the next week, they could also pick a role to add to the happy hour pool. I think this would have positive benefits for the underused roles, and will encourage more setup building if happy hour selection is a tool handed over to the site moderators to enable/disable roles from.
I was always hoping that the happy hour list would someday include all of the roles, although that's kind of unrealistic. Could it just be linked to enabled roles in the main lobby somehow? I think it would promote setup diversity, maybe mods disagree though.
the thing is, playing and earning points doesn't feel rewarding generally. if it wasnt for my friends, i'd have left this website a long time ago and im sure it is the case with alot of people in here.
oh last thing, does anyone care about the happy hour and are there any roles I should add (or remove) from the current list? it's based off a list of the initial 20 or so roles I made years ago, but I can change it to any number of roles
