After my first playtest of this script I wanted to drop the script in a forum. Initially the script had a Pukka (replaced with No Dashii), and I added the Choirboy that I forgot to add in the playtest.

Oh we already had that in the first playtest. Evil still won, although it was primarily because evil's game was crumbling fast and early so I needed to use the Mayor's second ability A LOT to account for that.

I could not think of another Outsider,
Minions and Townsfolk? Fine. Outsiders and Demons? That's the hard part.

You might need to throw a Sentinel on this script as there's no Outsider manipulation.
And like Kenobi said I think Lycan is a bit too powerful on this script as there's no way for Evil to mitigate it's power easily without lucky set-ups

What Townsfolk would you replace the Lycan with if you chose to replace it?
I think Gossip actually might not be a bad idea. The reason I went with Lycanthrope was because I wanted at least one character that could obscure kills if a Summoner was in play.

As there isn't any form of direct Evil-sided extra deaths Gossip probably won't work as they'll be pseudo-confirmed (without Ojo missing getting 2 kills). I think another reason for no death nights will help support a Summoner such as Monk/Innkeeper (probably Monk)
Alternatively, Lycanthrope could work if you had roles like Pukka or Poisoner that could shut off the ability but unsure

In that case the Minion I probably like the least on here is the Widow. For the theming I thought Spy or Widow would be cool (and I eventually went with Widow because it can poison). But now I'm not sure if it should be there.
I could see Baloonist in there replacing something (don't know what) and a Godfather. The Godfather gets less info but can kill.

So this is what I have in terms of addition/replacement candidates:
T : Balloonist (replaces High Priestess), Monk (replaces NW honestly, not sure if the NW really does anything), Gossip (replaces Lycan)
O : Honestly this section is pretty good to me.
M : Godfather (replaces Widow). Now I am realizing that I would still need an extra thing that poisons. DA is needed in contingiency with Sailor. I could try going mild Phobos to add a poisoning character because I do not want to give up Mez and Summoner. If I had to, it'd be the Mez.
D : If I wanted to make it 4, maybe Po (pretty high chance). Otherwise I do not see any other Demons working well besides the Yagga (and the Yagga, as much as it would be obscured by stuff like Sailor and Monk, probably won't be chosen by a lot of people).
The Townsfolk section is really just applying Chekov's Gun to the setup.
Balloonist and Godfather would both have to go in together (and I would also use a Sentinel regardless). And while Fang Gu could work, I think it will create the opposite problem to the Yagga where most people would pick it (and in that case I'd need a Spirit of Ivory).

This is what it now looks like (turns out at some point there was more than 13 and there is a limit. I decided to get rid of the Snake Charmer over the Mayor, especially cuz Snake Charmer/Summoner sounds like a nasty pairing). There are 5 Minions, and I am not sure if I want to turn this into a Phobos script or find one to get rid of.
somber helm
just looked and i forgot there's only 12 again.
just realized it's because the 5th minion subtracts a townsfolk.
lusty nimbus
I feel like the execution protection here is somewhat lackluster, I'd maybe add pacifist as the 13th townsfolk
somber helm
In that case, I'd have to get rid of the Mezepheles in order to add that in the first place, OR download the JSON for characters not in the Bloodstar engine and arrange it there.

balloonist poisoner is not great interaction
nor is sailor balloonist
somber helm
you do have a point, there really aren't many minions that poison people though
pliant current
remove balloonist perhaps? it’s unfortunately very hard to put into a lot of scripts well
somber helm
Hm. I guess I can throw Snake Charmer back in then.
Balloonist was also meant to replace the High Priestess so I have 2 choices unless anyone else wants to throw in an option : High Priestess or Snake Charmer.
Yeeeah the High Priestess is back in, cuz again maybe Summoner/Snake Charmer isn't the best idea in the world.

:( HP without much droison and two powerful YSK

It's hard because there are no official minions that can really poison and do the job the way I would want. And there are other mechanics where I need to keep pretty much all of them. Mez, again, is the one I would sacrifice if I had no choice and needed to put a poisoning Minion, but trying to tell if someone is Mez turned or a Politician sounds fun to witness.
pliant current
yeah fair enough
somber helm
i am scrapping this script entirely.
tame girder
Shame, it was a fun script. I was in that Lycan game i think as one of the outsiders. It was solvable, if only half of townsfolk didn't outright believed the Lycan was good and sober. Still, hope you create a new and improved script, even if it is a new script all together with no Trump referances 😄 .
somber helm
alright, had the time to sleep. definitely overreacted last night, probably not going to scrap this.
