Town Killer

La Soleil Cafe (Passive) - You are masons to all Catgirls. Your private chat is called La Soleil Cafe.
Nyan Cat says LGBT rights (Passive): - As a seasoned catgirl homosexual, you know who is real and who is a dirty little imposter. If anybody in any masonry is not aligned with the uninformed majority, you will strongman kill them bypassing everything at the end of Day 1. This bypasses all tailors and “traitor” roles.
nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanya (Night): Protect a player. If they are attacked tonight, you will die in their place. May only target members of the La Soleil Cafe, unless you are the only one alive. - Infintie uses

Paranoid Gun Icibalus

Town Killer
Okay, so this role is swingy as fuck. It has a massive effect on the game and has the additional penalty of often making Mafia needleslly WIFOM their kills. I’d say that including a role like this in your game breaks it towards Town’s side most of the time and only adds extra swing to no real extra gameplay benefit (Passive): Anyone who visits you will die, bypassing death immunity. This does not prevent their actions.

Icibaluschemist

Neutral Support
It’s a kingmaker that also lobotomises the fun of whoever is unlucky enough to rand it. Survivor’s unfunness is self-evident at this point; trying to play Survivor in FM is asininely unfun, and the only reason people still include it is because it’s a “ready-made neutral”. Avoid unless you give it some interesting dynamics as well (Night): Become death immune for the night (2 uses)
don’t die

1686

Informed Icibalus

Town Social
Secondly, having an INFORMED miller is against the point of Millers in the first place. There is NOTHING stopping an informed miller from claiming and diverting cops to other people. Even if it’s a possible scum move, scumreading exists for cases of people you can’t reasonably cop check (Passive): You are always aware of your true rolecard. Additionally, you appear as a member of the informed minority whose class type is Killer and who visits all players who die in a night.

Prince Ici

Blue Dragon Killer
At what point did we all suddenly decide it was a good idea to include an infinite shot strongman occupier asceticiser anonymous neighbouriser 2-shot conditional strongman vigilante in our games? At what point did we think: “Yes- This is definitely balanced!”. Prince only functions in ToL due to the fact that BD don’t have enough time to coordinate and so require a crazy busted role, but outside of it jailors are just overpowered as shit and unfun (Passive): Votes for you to become King count for two.
Strongman (Passive): You cannot be occupied or redirected at night by any means.
Occupier asceticiser anonymous neighborizer (Day): Target a player. They will be imprisoned tonight, preventing all visits to them. An imprisoned target cannot act by any means. Additionally, you may each send one 1000 character message to the other (Infinite uses)
2-shot Conditional Strongman Vigilante (Night): Kill the player you have imprisoned, bypassing death immunity, healing, and all other forms of protection. Cannot be used until N3. Lose all uses if you kill a member of the uninformed majority (3 uses)

Icibaluses that are also Trackers

Town Investigative
Watcher is extremely powerful on its own and Tracker is extremely weak on its own. When their powers are combined, you’re left with a gamesolving machine. I’d argue that Watchers are bad to include as infinite-shot anyway, but imo including a Follow-style ability at ALL is a bad idea. If you give Town that ability, they usually get at least 2 clears and get themself cleared. If you give scum that ability, they can PR hunt without consequences and Town will get unfairly picked off. The other problem with this style of ability is it’s hard to tilt the game against it with it in the game; since the more visits there are the STRONGER this ability becomes (Night): Target a player. Learn who they visit and who visits them (infinite uses)

Icibalus

Neutral Social
What a surprise, Ici hates Jesters, time to skip this section… no. Do not skip this section. Jesters have NEVER been a good idea, and I will avoid your games if you show a habit of including them against all the warnings that you’ve been given. You have been warned (Passive): After you are executed, anyone who says anything negative about Jesters will be modkilled for toxicity. (This functions equivalently to a dayvig, and does not affect anything moderation-related).
Get executed for treason

1692

Town Elite Icibalus

Town Killer
This role is an omniscient town doctor vig which comes at the TINY disadvantage of dying when they save somebody. Again, including something like this in your game, even though it’s extremely commonly used, will make your game majorly townsided, and here’s the crucial thing; completely unfun. The Bodygaurd dosen’t have a fun job, because simply predicting who dies and then getting a free kill feels cheap, and no wonder. The scum sweat far too much about their nightkills and have to needlessly fret about every facet of their plan at night, when the scum should be having fun at night (Night): Target a player. If they would die to an attack, you will die in their place and they will die. Additionally, you will attack their killer (Infinite uses)

The Brutal Reality

Mafia Social

I’m sorry, Catgirls aren’t actually a scientifically feasible possibility. I realise you’ve been lured in by promises of the potential of CRISPR, but in truth, the kind of thing you long for simply isn’t possible. Genetic modification is tricky, and it is unlikely that humans will develop the kind of specific genofixing required to produce a catgirl that meets your specifications in your lifetime, if ever. And think about that. Your specifications. Your lust has given you a view of the world that sees what would be (were catgirls possible) real, sentient beings as things which can only exist validly if they meet your standards for sexual satisfaction. What if they don’t love you? What if nobody loves you? I can tell you one thing. Catgirls certainly wouldn’t. Because they don’t fucking exist. (Passive) - This cannot rand simultaneously with catgirls. If there are any catgirls in the rand when this rands, they will be rerolled until they are no longer catgirls, and catgirls cannot rand after this rands.

Catgirls: Why Are They Cute? (And Why Do Lesbians Love Them) - An Essay on the Allure of the Feline Mystique

After finishing Strike Witches, I was stuck on the way that, when performing magic, the girls developed cat ears and tails for no apparent reason. The Strike Witches producers knew what decades of anime has already confirmed: cat ears on women are cute.
For the past two weeks, I have been trying to dig a little deeper. We already know that catgirls (and catboys) are adorable, but why do we feel that way? And why are they so prevalent in anime? So far, I have three theories:

1. Cat ears appeal to our animal instincts. Sure, we’ve come out of our caves and we wear clothes now, but our brains still have their instinctual residues like the fight or flight response. Maybe we think catgirls are the manifestation of a woman who follows her animal brain, her immediate needs and desires. We find the idea of an impulsive woman unbarred by modern rules and morals attractive.
2. Cat ears resonate with ancient human mythologies. There were the cat gods, worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, including the fierce and beautiful Bastet. More closely tied to anime was the Japanese bakeneko, a cat demon who could disguise itself as an alluring woman. According to the Catgirl Research Foundation, there are also more catgirl myths from Britain, Ireland, and South Africa.
3. Catgirls can be guiltlessly objectified. This fits in with the anthropomorphism I discussed in my fan service articles. When we combine women and girls’ bodies with non-human elements, like computer or, in this case, animal parts, they appear less human to us. Therefore, we do not feel the obligation to treat them with the respect we’d offer other humans, and can lust after them without worry.
   However, I haven’t yet been able to find much to support or disprove my claims. I’ve tried the forums of the Catgirl Research Foundation, contacted Kittenplay.org, posted a call for suggestions on the Livejournal kitty_ears community, even reached out to a few anime academics.
   So far, only the fantastic catgirlblogger Trochilidae of Forum of Lies has responded to my call. As a self professed “expert in catgirl appreciation,” she had a lot of insight on the subject. Additionally, Trochilidae’s perspective as a catgirl herself means she had some incredibly unique takes.
   Trochilidae was quick to differentiate the catgirls we see in anime from the Western women who dress up as sexy cats for Halloween. “It’s not about animal lust,” she told me in an email. “It’s far more innocent than that.”
   Instead, she tied it to the attitude of real-life cats toward their masters, in that anime cat girls are both independent and affectionate. Trochilidae said this style, “Selfish and spoiled one minute, and then sweet and affectionate the next,” she noted with a wink, already meshes well with one of the most established female personality types in anime — the tsundere — who extremely appeals to lesbians.
   But in a nutshell, Trochilidae said that she thinks lesbians are fans of catgirls because they are so easy to please. While some female characters, whom she refers to as having dog or puppy personalities, need someone to protect and care for them always, catgirls are more hands off:
   “The catgirl, on the other hand, doesn’t need a someone to run her life for her. She can do just fine all by herself. But when she is ready for some love and attention, she’ll nuzzle up to that girl, sit on her lap, knead her paws all over her, and purr with a satisfied look on her face,” she said.
   And now I open up the debate to readers. Whether or not you’re a fan of cat ears, what do you think is their appeal? And if you’ve heard of an academic study on the subject that you think I’ve missed in my research, please let me know

   Fuck You Catgirls are Real and They Love Me (Passive)- If this class rolls, two other catgirl classes must also roll. Make it happen.
