[SETUP] Red and Blue

This is a very old setup idea of mine, but I don't believe I ever posted it anywhere. Painters and Lies reminded me of it, even though the setups are nothing alike.

1 Mafia Red Godfather
1 Mafia Blue Framer
1 Town Red Cop
1 Town Blue Cop
5 Vanilla Townies

Both cops are full cops, except that the Red Godfather shows up as innocent to the Red Cop, and the Blue Framer can target a player and make them show up as guilty to the Blue Cop.

This is unchanged from my original idea, but in retrospect it feels pretty townsided. I wonder if it could get away with being 5:2 Carbon-14 style?

Could also be interesting, though more frustrating, if the cops didn't know which color they were. (I would still have them flip color on death, probably.)
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

What about the 5:2 version?

It's probably swingy, but it seems like it might be a fun experience anyway. I guess hitting the godfather/framed person is pretty feelsbad.

Yes, they are on the same team. The colors are merely for interaction with the cops.
