Right, another issue is that even if you aren't under time pressure (and you are in a uPick), balancing a game where every player is a power role is hard enough in its own right, and in a uPick players would typically be disappointed with being vanilla. I've done uPick reviewing before now and I couldn't be confident that the setup ended up balanced; even in a regular Normal it's easy to miss a relevant interaction and there are quadratically more that you have to potentially deal with in a role madness game.
It'd be easy enough to run a uPick if the roles didn't have to match the flavour, but that'd be missing half the point of the genre. (It'd also be easy to run if the game didn't have to be within reasonable balance/swing/skew/kurtosis bounds, but abandoning that would be problematic in another way.)

AGM had a hard time with CYS: A Monument of Sins, and my trouble with Encore II makes me second guess another take.
As a player and mod I would say I'm interested, but the design work under time pressure is considerable.
Yeah. The whole point is that they're showcases of mod talent. My own attempt at one was... a thing that happened, although the Town was kind enough to mercy-kill itself before the setup could do much IIRC.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

You ran a CYS or an Encore?
Either way I missed it.
Unless you meant Xenologue? Which I was there for. >_>
I can attest to this being true. I complained because of the choice I was given and I am now banned. Moral of the story: don't complain about your lot in life and.....
