I decided to bring the power to the players with my game and have everyone vote for both- the number of players and the flavor/universe I will write flavor for. Spectators and replacements will also have the option to vote. I (with the help of Prophy) balanced setups between 14-18 players. The sign-up is first come first served meaning the first 14 to sign-up will have priority in the voting. This trend continues until 16 where I’ll stop and evaluate the votes then and see if we have a consensus. The reason I’m stopping at 16 is because I personally recommend the player total reach at least 16. The 14 and 15 player setups were initially in place to avoid stalling on signups, but if the votes are there- I won’t argue. Concerning flavor, I’m a huge fan of both One Piece and Overwatch and those are the ones I’ve already setup/randomized roles/know what flavor direction I will write and as such are my focus/recommendations. I’ve attached some opening flavor and an intro vid for those two below. If, however, there again is a collective decision on flavor, I won’t argue. Just know- I have to be okay with writing it(I’d prefer ones with many characters/big universe) and it’ll take maybe an extra day to randomize the roles for X characters/think of flavor on the fly. Some offhand I can think of is Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist, Band of Brothers/The Pacific, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead… The list goes on and on but those have many characters.
Here’s a sample voting scheme to make it easier for us all:
Insert status to the game on the first line (/in, /out, /replace, /spectate, /mentor)
Second Line will be Player Total (14-18 Players, can set a minimum preferred/maximum preferred)
Third Line will be Flavor (One Piece, Overwatch, Other)
On to flavor!
One Piece:
The Straw Hat Crew, led by their captain Monkey D. Luffy, has landed on Sabaody Archipelago and has encountered some familiar faces. Luffy made his way to the Auction House and found out Keimi, the Straw Hat’s recent mermaid acquaintance, was being auctioned off as a slave. Luffy attempts to storm the stage, resisting Hachi’s grasp (another Fishman acquaintance through the Straw Hat’s travels), when suddenly…
Overwatch:
Overwatch was quickly formed by the United Nations as an international task force to combat an Omnic(robotic) threat and restore order. Though this program was a success, several allegations of wrongdoing and failures led to public outcry. A UN investigation into the matter was halted when an explosion destroyed Overwatch’s headquarters. As a result, the UN passed the Petras Act to both dismantle Overwatch and forbid them of any Overwatch-type activities. Some years after this Act was passed, without Overwatch present: corporations have started to take over, fighting and terrorism have broken out in parts of the globe, and there are signs of a second Omnic Crisis occurring in Russia. Winston, a former member of Overwatch, has decided to go against the Petras Act and…

I really liked reviewing this setup; I hope you all enjoy it.
As did I. If you'd like to use one of those setups that I don't end up using, feel free to use/tweak it to your liking.
Also, Cythare/Vaimes obviously gets a autolock on any neutral roles, should they exist, and are forced to hydra together. Deal with it.
Can we just share a role and not have to actually use a hydra account? Maybe something like:
"Welcome to Total Recall Mafia, <Cythare/Vaimes>. You are George and Kuato, Two-Headed Serial Killer.
Vaimes is George. He has the following abilities: Unassuming - If you are investigated by a cop result, you will return an innocent result. Long Live the Resistance - At Night, you may choose another player. That player will be killed.
Cythare is Kuato. He has the following abilities: Free Your Mind - At Night, you may choose another player. That player will be able to use an additional action this night. If this is used on George, this ability becomes inactive. Strong of Will - The first killing action used against you will fail (lynching does not count).
Additionally, you have the following ability: Two of Body - If one of you is lynched or killed, the other player dies as well.

Preference for Overwatch, but I also don't know what One Piece is, so I won't fault you for going that direction.

14 or 15 would be optimal
One Piece constitutes my childhood, so One Piece it is.
Overwatch, any size will do!
