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

I know this isn't a graveyard related role but I like the way the icon turned out so I want to share it
>.<

Rain Dancer

-Sided with mafia
-Can perform a ritual at night, summoning a rainstorm to appear the following day.
-Rainstorm lasts one day and makes town unable to lynch anyone that day.
-Ability can be used once per game.

Morning system msg: "Due to terrible weather today's lynch has been canceled."

So it like makes everyone's vote weight 0 for a day (including mafia's) or just makes nl the only option in the votes.
stop coming up with good ideas!

Could be called Party Ghost lmao

could be done like party host -- instead of voting you can just click "end meeting" on the lynch vote

Most of the new role icons are cops...
You need to clear your cache. I have this problem too. Everytime there's a new role they have cop's icon but then I clear my cache and it's ok.

That's a gorgeous icon, but could you move the left eye closer in by one pixel? It looks slightly off how it is right now.
Oh I didn't even notice that, thanks.

Here:
that color of green for the eyes is too bright. Maybe make it like the dark-green used in camo patterns or like blue-green.
omg too many good suggestions, i need to make this graveyard happen before i get sucked into some other project here in the valley haha

Ok so

After some thinking I thought of this name:

Persephone (from greek mythology - wife of Hades, god of the underworld)

-Sided with the town.
-Once per game can give dead players in the graveyard an option to lynch a living player.
(It's a night action - the following day gives graveyard the votes instead of town)
-The town can't see who's being lynched that day
-Dead players don't know who Persephone is.

I'll throw out one of my own graveyard role ideas:

Spoiler:
-Resurrects one non-village player once a game.
-That player will no longer count towards their team's parity, but retains their role.
-If the Spoiler's target is alive at the end of the game, the Spoiler wins. The Spoiler's target will also receive points.

Concealer

- Hides any message that they receive (carols, jokes, etc) from the Journalist.
- Sided with Mafia.

What about a role with a night meeting that once per game makes the graveyard decide who should be lynched the following day?

So like the next day the town doesn't have votes but the graveyard does.
This could be really cool.

Call it Ferryman?

Lucid, what if ppl want to leave the game? Medium will be useless if people leave
in games with graveyard dependent roles, they will get a system message telling them that leaving the game will count as leaving the game before it ends
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Dislike :(

Would they get a GRS violation if they leave from the graveyard? Or what if they ISP and do not answer the medium?
Think of it as town v.2. rather than dead.
