This has been in the Basement long enough. Time to host it.
The British version of Greater Idea.

For those new to the concept, in this game, there are 100 roles, and every player, before the game starts, receives two. Then they must pick one to be their role, and discard the other. The list of roles discarded by each player will be revealed when the game starts, creating some WIFOM. This setup doesn't guarantee balance at all, but it can be very fun, and is easy to pay multiple times.
There are many versions of Great Idea setups. This one is my favorite. It is a more balanced and streamlined version of GI, which eliminates some more bastard roles like the Black Goo, and some roles that make the game harder to decipher, like Strongmen and normal Roleblockers, making the setup less "opaque", according to the MafiaWiki. It also adds some cool new roles.

This setup has 4 factions. The regular civ faction, as well as the Mafia, Aliens and Goo. Mafia is your regular baddie faction, with the weakest roles, but the ability to make kills every night. Aliens have considerably stronger roles, but a lower number of kills, proportional to the number of players. Finally, Goo has a low number of roles, but some of them have passive recruitment abilities, while others have 1-shot kills. Finally, there are a few third party roles.
Number of players: as many as I can get. But let's go with a minimum of 7.
When: any day, really. But let's try to host it this
Saturday, Feb 23, at 4 PM EST (or 9 PM UTC+0).
