I'll leave it another 24 hours to see if anyone else joins up. Otherwise, are you happy to proceed with just 8 players? I can juggle the number of spies (1 or 2) depending on the roles in play. If there are 2 guaranteed good roles in play then I think there should definitely be 2 spies.   However, if there is a weighting towards roles that can be turned/opt for joining the spies, then may be only need start with one spy.   

Alternatively, how about it working like the latest Skyhold game, so instead of eliminating people from the game, indoctrination literally causes them to change sides?   This could only happen on Night 2.    Only the original spy can do this.   If the original spy is voted off then the new spy must continue alone but cannot turn people, only eliminate them.   Whoever Liara investigates the first night she will not receive the result of her investigation until after the first day's voting is over.

Okay, so here is a brief summary of the rules and roles included in this game:

There will be only two spies.
Liara is the only role always present - she is always good.   I have increased the number of floating roles because of the reduced number of players.

Floating roles:

Garrus - good or evil (however an evil Garrus may not shoot his own side)
Miranda - good or evil (an evil Miranda will block Garrus, if present, or protect herself from Jack, if present, rather than prevent indoctrination)
Jack -  good
Javik - good or evil
Wrex - good or evil
Tali - good or evil
Legion - good or evil
Kasumi - good or evil (Kasumi who begins the game as evil may use her ability once per game to block Liara).
EDI - always starts as good but can be indoctrinated into changing sides

Dr Chakwas - good or evil

Emily Wong - good or evil (replaces Diana Allers)

Kaidan/Ashley - good or evil
Clone - neutral - must choose which side to support when assuming the role of an eliminated person.

Changes/additions to roles:

Tali'Zorah vas Normandy
The Quarian Engineer. Once per game during a day round, you may protect someone from being voted off. You may not protect yourself. PM the Game Master to use this ability.

Jack
Subject Zero. Once per game, Jack may interrogate another player overnight who she suspects of working for Cerberus. If she is correct, the player is eliminated. If she is wrong, she is eliminated instead.

Karin Chakwas
The Medic. Chakwas will do everything to save a patient, even if she's barely holding on herself. Upon night-time elimination (either indoctrinated, shot by Garrus, or interrogated by Jack) you will be able to bring back one player who had previously been eliminated. If that player had any abilities remaining, they will be allowed to use those abilities as usual.

Emily Wong
The Investigative Reporter. You are willing to do nearly anything to get to the truth, even if it kills you. Should you be eliminated at night, the role and player name of one of your enemies will be publicly revealed. The revealed player will be randomly chosen from the list of players who are on the opposing side.   Due to the complications that will arise should the Clone assume this role, I am going to rule that it is not possible to clone her.

The Clone
The Cerberus Science Project. The Evil Clone begins the game as a neutral character, and is able to help or hurt either side. Once you are ready to take over a character's identity, you must declare your intent to the GM and wait for the character to be eliminated. You may change your mind throughout the game at the beginning of each day/night cycle. If you successfully take over a role, you must declare your support for one side of the game or the other. Only the GM will know your choice, but you must behave in accordance with the side you chose.

I think the Clone should be able to assume a role no matter how they are eliminated.   If a person is voted off or eliminated overnight, their role will have a question mark alongside it.   If the Clone wishes to assume the identity of the person eliminated the first night they must correctly target the role with the GM at the beginning of the Night cycle.  

------

I think that has covered everything but if you have any queries or I have missed anything, please let me know.    There is no reason why the game should not work with only 9 players but people will just have to be more focussed and careful about what they do.  

Yes, of course there is. I'll add you to the list. So that makes 9 players (even better).

I'm still working on my initial narrative and generating roles so there is still time for other people to join if they wish.
