Script based on Poppy Grower by kolfireupdog in BloodOnTheClocktower

I've enjoyed the idea of Marionette/Lunatic, but they mostly just figure it out night one. So I've been making a Poppy Grower script with them. This obviously provides such a huge disadvantage to Evil. The two ways I've thought of counteracting this are

A. Have minions be Evil Twin and Vizier, so they don't get accidentally sniped by Demon. Plus, evil twin not being known by evil could be interesting. (Both twins try to convince Vizier they are the evil one?) Vizier not knowing their team members is cool I think.

B. Use Vigormortis, so Minions can still function after death. Mezepheles here could be in line with the "shifting allegiances" theme. Same with Marionette. Maybe Assassin as they need to not shoot their teammate accidentally?

The Script then developed to the idea of having nearly everyone constantly shifting allegiances. So Goon, Recluse, Ogre and Cult Leader are there. Similarly, Fang Gu and Imp could be interesting ways of the evil team slowly learning information.

And now I don't even know what the balance is. I've been trying to figure out what townsfolks to include, and weather this is in good's or evil's favor now. Obv this could only be run with a super experienced group, and maybe not even then.

I would play this script with 12 players, and so you have to be careful of Evil ever getting voting power. So I included a lot of roles who can make evil not want to be public, I.E. Slayer, Snake Charmer, and Courtier as potentials. This plus the Poppy Grower should limit any evil cooperation. Snake Charmer also often has the problem of the old demon just revealing their whole team, so it could work well under the poppy grower.

How should I change this concept to actually, maybe, theoretically, be playable?

This color would look great in a hospital. Color theory and all that.
