At a glance, this probably needs a couple smidges more town power. Motion detector and bodyguard as a matter of course are not powerful roles. 3-shot neap is strong in this setup, but not quite enough. And the neighbors are slightly power-negative here just bc they befuddle the neapolitan a little.

Some ideas off the top of my head could be (not sure which of these if any or all are enough to/best to balance it but I'll let nsg say more):

-Inform the motion detector that scum have no active roles (probably not *too* risky because the existing town roles aren't confirmable anyway, but I think in the dynamic of this setup it could actually be interesting)
-Give the macho neighbor something to use. Even like, a checker could be interesting bc of interaction with the motion detector, but you could slot in a lot of different roles there.

To be clear those suggestions are also not at all a "you must do one of these things or I will hunt down your family" list.

Dah! I somehow failed to add this to the normal thread OP and just put the game after it in signups. I guess it's still ever-so-slightly in review so not the biggest deal.

[implosion]

But yes, bodyguards are definitely not supposed to be able to protect macho players. And this will be next to enter signups assuming there are no other hiccups.
