well

this is pretty scumsided as is, like babysitter is an omega swingy role but even if, say, babysitter kills a mafia there's still not many clears for town but there's also the fact that if babysitter is forced to claim like D1 and watcher doesn't claim that's actually really good for town? and just overall I'm not really enthused about either the balance or how things work mechanically since the game does effectively have only 1 ML a lot of the rime

How open would you be to adding a VT and making it a one shot cop instead because i think that's both healthier design wise in terms of preventing scum from having really bad outcomes when 1 pr outs D1 and it's also better balanced since the trade-off for day 2 mylo is having a cop check in play

if that's not something you're keen on then, like, first step is to add a VT and second step is to give the watcher extra charges, and it's still mildly unhealthy design in my opinion but it's passable

If keeping it at 8p is something you're really keen on then i think it's better to switch the babysitter for a 1-shot vig bc the amount of swing that the babysitter currently produces in 8p is just trolling extremely toxic, like if the babysitter targets a town read and gets shot then town winrate is likely close to zero

Oh and if you go with the watcher babysitter one I'd actually advise that you run it open since scum are going to be livid if they get get baited into a guilty or even a protected watcher

Scum getting the vig to e1 can be a little no-good-deed-unpunished but with the stronger scum partner only eluding a reduced number of lims that should be fine.
eh

spies should always quickhammer that if they know what they're doing
