My Little Pony; This is still a very rough idea

This is a very rough idea for a game. Any help with roles is great!

Ponyville:
Twilight Sparkle: She can use her magic to determine a players side.
Pinkie Pie: She can throw a party for two players every night. This causes any actions on those two players to be swapped. However, night kills can't be swapped.
Applejack: She can protect a player every night.
Rainbow Dash: She is constantly in the air and can see who visits who in the night.
Rarity: If she is to be night killed, her complaining/whining will take the killer with her.
Fluttershy: She can avoid one night kill by being adorable.
Derpy Hooves: She must visit a player every night. However, these visits accomplish nothing, and the player with this role does not know they are Derpy.
Ponyville citizen: You can only vote for who to banish from town during the day phase.

Mafia
Queen Chrysalis: She can appear Ponyville sided if investigated.
Discord: He can make one player appear guilty every night.
Nightmare Moon: She can make the day phase end early and bring on the night phase. She can only do this once during the game.
King Sombra: He can disable a players power every night.
Changelings: They can only vote for the night kill.

Numbers will likely be 12/5. Input would be great!

I can't remember a driver where kills CAN'T be swapped and I'm not sure what the effect of that would be, but I guess balancing might require this?

Applejack: She provides Ponyville with apples every day. If she dies, the town can go two days before everyone dies of starvation and no one wins. (I'm still on the fence on this one. Either that or she can protect a player every night.)
Leeeeeeeet's go with the latter because in the event of AJ getting killed Night 1 Village literally cant win.

Rarity: She can charm a player into aiming their ability at someone else, if it was aimed at her. She can't divert death, and I have to be PM'd if she wants to use her power.
How many times per game can she do this?

I don't have a critique just yes she's adorable.

Um... this is a little less powerful than I expected for countering six PRs, though if Nightmare Moon is unlimited capabilities this should be mentioned and also really too powerful.

I think since you have so many PRs, you're going to need to make them somewhat weaker, perhaps make a few of them even seemingly harmful to the village. Like a miller or sleepwalker or something since you have a tracker. Not sure what would be best to do, but Pinkie or Rarity could totally change for that, since they are sort of similar.

Alright. Nightmare can only bring the night early once during the game. Rarity's power has been changed, and I added King Sombra and Derpy Hooves.

Could Derpy be a third party?
(I didn't read the whole thing again yet I was just wondering.)

Super powerful factions all 'round. It'll really depend on the skill of the players this one.

Certainly worth a shot as is.

Oh gosh. I still remember Sahxyel's version of this as one of my favorite games, if only for the flavor (pre-inactive, of course).

Quick question, is NMM's power activated via pm? If so, when does the phase end, when the pm is sent or when the host returns?

Also, does Derpy choose who she visits, or is it a Sleepwalker role and who she visits is random? Right now, I'm seeing she chooses who.

@Aviana: Derpy is Ponyville sided, she just doesn't accomplish anything with her visits.
@Shadow31: Nightmare's power is sent in via PM, and is activated when I get to read it.
Edit: I'm considering having three ordinary Ponyville citizens and one changeling, which would bring it to 10/5. Thoughts?

My personal formula for balance is Village = 2.5 x Mafia. So I would say either 10-4 or a 13-5 setup.

Man what is even the point of Twilight between these two. It's not really an issue since you have other means of investigation or whatnot, it's just kind of funny.

King Sombra: He can disable a players power every night.
What does disable mean? Is this just a hooker role?

I like it also preemptive sign up also yeah go with twice as many plus one village at least. I might add a villager extra to that since Nightmare Moon's ability gives the mafia an extra kill.

Okay, how about 14/5? And Sombra is a hooker role.

That could be fine but you might be able to cut a villager or two. Big games are hard to get sign ups for.

12/5, then.
Edit: I'll start this up after a few of the current games end.

One question. I've never used the sleepwalker role, so I'm not sure if the player with that role is told that they're the sleepwalker/Derpy. I Just want to know before I start the game up.

They are not. They think they're a vanillager.

Well, first thing to do is clarify whether she chooses who she visits or whether she visits randomly like the Sleepwalker does.

If the former, then they know their identity, if the latter, they don't know their identity.
