Langton's Doc/Vig

(Doctors empty players and fills them, Vigs filled players and empties them)

Empty

Langton's Vanilla/Cop

(Vanilla Cops empty players and fills them, Cops filled players and empties them)

Filled

Mafia Goon

Filled

Mafia Langton's Vanilla/Doc

(Vanilla Cops empty players and fills them, Docs filled players and empties them)

Filled

Langton's Mafia Color Inverter/Roleblocker

(Double-flips an Empty player it targets, but also causes empty Langton's roles it targets to use the opposite ability. Filled players are roleblocked.)

This is based off the cellular automata "Langton's Ant" in which an ant behaves conditionally based on the tile it stands on, and inverts the color of tiles it stands on.

By them you mean the acting roles themselves?

Sample role PM for Cook (since he's probably referring to how he did it on Grand Idea)

Empty Town Langton's X/Y

Welcome! You are an

Empty Town Langton's X/Y

During the night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will do one of the following:

• If your target is Empty, you will perform ability X.
  
• If your target is Filled, you will perform ability Y.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

I am, in fact, referencing how I did it in GIM.

Anyway, this setup is broken via Follow the cop.
Town emptier + Langton's Doc/Vig on the cop = no

[JacksonVirgo]

N1 it will be way smarter for Emptier/Filler to not perform any actions at all.
Doc/Vig won't shoot a Town but will shoot Mafia.
VCop/Cop will get results and thus will have a Cop result regardless.

I don't fully understand the Inverter. It makes a target use the opposing ability, alright. Chances they'll hit a PR N1 is weak anyway. So that's 4 clears + the filler/emptier. 6 total clears assuming no cross-clear. Making three scum in the remaining 5.
