last season his bot's weapon broke so he just had to keep on adapting the bot in each match.

Look at his fight with ice wave, who was one of the favorites to win last year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fKJ1IZtIVg

He pisses people off because he is arrogant and smug, but that is more camera presence than a lot of people on he show.

A lot of the reasons why people seem to hate Ghost Raptor came from their first match with complete control it seems, but they actually didn't want CC disqualified and were the ones asking for a rematch when the judges where considering disqualification.

Also Chuck does look like this when fighting

Basically he is playing a villain character and people really do get pissed off at him lol

There will still be scum and stuff but none of the "Standard Mafia Rules" from the wiki will apply.

Now I just have to find out how to balance a game

Just roll up a C9++ until you get one you like, that's what I do most of the time.

I think you just have to figure out all the ways the game can be broken and fix them

like obviously if the town can just post their PMs in thread, you have to give the scum elaborate fake PMs rather than just a simple fake claim

Call me crazy but I think it has a shot if it can lift Minotaur up, getting in from the side or maybe even sneaking the grabber around the drum. CC is also really well armoured and sometimes big hitters like Minotaur are mosre easily defeated by defense than offense.

Have a pretty good feeling CC isn't going too deep into the tournament though, its fighting style doesn't really make any match safe.
