Beta testing mafia games?

[callforjudgement]

Varsoon's post reminds me of Kill Everyone Mafia. I ran it because it wasn't mathematically broken and I thought it seemed like fun. The game actually worked out, as it happens, although it

should

have broken horribly after the day 1 lynch (I hadn't taken the possibility of town lynching scum into account, I assumed they'd no lynch or lynch a townie). It gave me enough evidence that it's probably not worth running again, but I don't think I regret running it, and if it had been beta-tested (and we found the problems) it probably wouldn't have run at all.
