So many possibilities here
Donāt forget
If this was the Transporter Chiefās first ability instead of his second
and it was a dead alien and an living uninfected crew member
It would now be a dead ship-aligned alien and a living alien-aligned crew member
Transporter chiefās first ability swaps thricely seat location, life / death status, and role.
Transporter chiefās second ability swaps only role.

No. itās like clocktower. No flips, no eliminations after death, you lose your ability, you get 1 dead vote, and you cant nominate anymore.

Thoughts on this setup now that Iāve refined the OP as much as I think I can?
Your timing was somehow amazing.
I hadnāt posted here before or even thought about things until I liked it recently xD
Honestly love this conceptually, sounds like fun ^^

Seems interesting. I assume players go choose to any ability - and ignore ones they donāt ever wish to use, right?
No
Like BotF, the character composition is chosen by the hosts in the pre-game and then each one is distributed to players via rand.
this is mechanical and social deduction, not an adventure misc.
oh
Theyāre choices
Every class must use exactly one of the ability options per phase they are capable of acting in. You donāt pick one at start and discard the others. You can use one in one phase and a different one in another, or just use the same one over and over again (except when restrictions on the usability of an ability are present in bold, also one use only abilities may be saved if desired; that is the exception) ā whatever you prefer.

Clarification here, for the purposes of Transporter Chief clarity (will edit this into the OP here; adding another emoji and distinctifying):
Infection (
) , the conversion condition causable by the Queen, the Biologist, and the Reanimator, is locked into an individual, not a role.
The, letās say Illness condition (
), where certain classes including the Queen, the Hivemind, the Influencer, the Reanimator, and the Informant need to be dead if game progresses to the Secret Destination, or aliens win, applies to the Class, not to the Individual. Sickness is different and refers to occupation btw.
The Sympathizerās Crew class is not locked, but their Alien alignment and GF property is, and the GF property will change to match their new role if they are swapped while their crew-based role will be what will be left behind at that spot instead of sympath.
A note that while I will not be hosting this game, if anyone else wants to host or co-host it, I am down to observe and help with any mechanical questions or clarity, since this game is currently iminent in the misc queue and Iām absolutely the only person on this forum who has ever played it before.
please ping me if thereās ever interest in this setup again.
ERGH
maybe co-hosting is the only thing that might improve my WiM currently
How about this
If I get at least 2 co-hosts, I will do this.
This game is up now up in the misc queue, so if it were to happen, I assume signups should happen shortly
this game probably should move down as it is clogging up the misc queue and preventing VLDR2 from posting signups. Also, even if / when I find the necessary co-hosts, it will probably take time to reach the necessary balance level via conversing. Since the role / alignment composition are not public and can be fluid, unlike clocktower, this game is tricker and will def take longer to ensure balance in setup than clocktower.
if you would be comfortable co-hosting, please ping me. I wonāt consider being a part of it without at least 2 co-hosts that arenāt eevee and iāll invite you to a PM to talk
Please note that since weāll need to discuss things that will not be public to players regarding the setup of the game, if u agree to this, you will not be able to play.
i dont think N is gonna host this anymore considering heās leaving the forum permanently
