Huh. Better early reads than I expected, tbh.
Thanks for modding Lilith, game was a blast. As far as balance goes, I haven’t really looked too hard, but I suspect it was fairly townsided. More importantly, though, it was fun. If a game is sufficiently fun, it doesn’t need to be perfectly balanced.
I might give some advice on general approaches to balancing a game later though. Just remember to take anything I say with salt, as I don’t mod nearly as much as I used to and I’m fairly rusty.

i know my attempts werent as good as they could have been but thats because i didnt have time to spend making a spreadsheet what I did end up setting up at the end was autowin and we didnt even need mechs when 2 of the scum were extremely obvious(lavar and abr)

This was the first game I've ever designed. Like the game it's based on, I think it's very swingy, but the intent was to create a mafia game that was fun/new/cool, and I hope that I achieved that. I apologize if the game didn't feel balanced or felt unfair in design, that was not my intent. Unfortunately I think with a setup like this, with so many variables, true balance may not really be achievable.
I'm definitely open to
constructive
criticism - I'd like to run more of these at some point in the future, and I am woefully inexperienced at setup balance. Some of the things that happened in this game I also didn't foresee, like people being confirmable on whether or not they had destroyed a lab, and that (among other things I didn't foresee) probably led to the game being more townsided than I had intended. Feedback is much appreciated.
Mafia being able to kill every night is an extremely important mechanic that allows them to keep pace with town figuring out conftown.

Scum being able to kill 1 player every night would have fixed balancing imo.

I was sick of playing for a week and was planning on basically prod dodging for the rest of the game so I decided instead to replace out for my own mental health.
It was not a pleasant mafia pt as you will read.

Yeah all good.
I didn't feel the game was fair, wasn't having fun, tried too hard to win and the game was rigged against me, I left before it got more toxic.

u replaced out right as u learned that u were conf scum from my ability lol that was grimy and dont ever play with me again because you wasted all of our time. u coulda just stayed in the game and took the elim but instead u make us wait

When town mislynches 3 times in a row and you have 0% chance to win because of mechanics its upsetting.

I 100% did not expect my slot would die day 4. I thought town would lynch lamar and I'd have to suffer through several more weeks.

I also didn't believe Dkkoba's claim but that's a balance issue. I found it way too powerful to have a role that exposes everyone attacking them. If all 3 scum attack him and he survives (which he most likely will because scum is weak af) the game is over. Which is so weird to me from a setup perspective.

We crunched numbers and it was like 16% chance of lethal if all 3 of us hit lmao. It was so pathetic. Scum couldn't kill anyone or even close to it.

I put up a good fight. Just impossible to win when everyone is confirmed town from destroying labs and scum can't kill for shit.

I was worried about Pine for giving himself +1 knowledge on N0 and at lamar for just announcing in the thread that he has a sword. Me for attacking dk in a suicide attack (but his personality just annoys me so I didn't want to play with him, the fact he was conftown justified my reason for trying to kill him with 12 dice in a kamikaze attack that didn't kill him. He got lucky.). Scum made mechanical mistakes but they weren't fatal mistakes. The day play was poor. Iksf and I did what we could to play a terrible hand.

Understandable. I was considering reporting recently but wanted to know more before doing so
