    I have been inactive for quite a while. The forum became a thread now? XD
    Anyway, I got this idea of a sort of a Detective Conan theme where there is 2 sides:

    CONAN'S SIDE:
    Detective Conan - Vote = 0. Can Inspect someone every night. Cannot be lynched or killed. Gets a boost whenever he inspects a Proof. Boosts increases his chance to have a true inspect. After "gathering" a certain amount of Proofs, he wins.
    Innoncent - Vote = 1. Can /alibi itself once every couple of nights to try converting into a True Innocent. Inspects as a Suspect.
    True Innocent - Vote = 1. Can expose his alibi once during the day, prooving his innoncence to everyone.
    Suspect - Virtual role.

    CRIMINAL'S SIDE:
    Criminal - Vote = 1. Can kill during the night starting from night 2. Can guard a Proof once every 2 nights (Cannot use both guard an kill on the same night). Can daykill (in big games). Inspects as a Suspect.
    Proof - Vote = -1.5. Dies when inspected, giving a boost stack to Detective Conan.
    Important Proof - Vote = -1. Dies when inspected, giving double boost stacks to Detective Conan.

    Actually, this is just a stick thread in this session. Ask for a moderator to split your post (and mine too) into a separated thread so it gets better visibility.

    As for the theme, why do it needs to be Detective Conan-themed? Unless you work the other characters on roles messages, it could very well be simply a "Detective" theme since you only have one character from the series.

    That aside, I think you have an interesting concept. There's an inspector role, but they can't find much unless they collect some proofs. It will probably need some tweaks, but I like the core idea.

    As for what may need to tweaked, I would say that Conan auto-winning with a number of proofs could be removed. In my opinion, it would be better to stick to a "find the criminal" setting than to a "find the proofs". But that's just me.
    Another question is the need for that -1.5 vote. It doesn't seem to add much, only makes things confusing.
    You should explain if Criminals Side know each other or not.
    Finally, depending on the Good/Baddie ratio and the chances of Innocent converting into True Innocent, having True Innocent self-exposing could be too strong. Perhaps you could think about changing /alibi to an action that requires more thought from the player instead of being a simple self-convert.

    Well, proofs are sided with the Criminal, finding the Criminal OR Enough Proofs is the condition for the village to win. ^^
    And yeah, I think I should simply remove Conan as the only role from the anime in the theme XD (I was thinking to rename Criminal into Black Silhouette haha but nah)

    If you want to keep Conan in, you could add some things for more players such as Mouri and Ran?
