Just so it's super clear, this is definitely not balanced and is very bastard.
Oh yeah! I didn't see this in Queue!

Game Name: Grandest Idea uPick
Game Type: theme (semi-open)
Game Size: 9
Bastard?: [Yes/No - some mechanics that apply to bastard games include "cults, mid-game alignment changes, moderator lies that cannot be reasonably anticipated (for example, Godfather, Tailor, Miller, Ninja, and mechanics like that are generally fine, but telling someone they are a reflexive doctor when they're actually a PGO is not), secret win conditions, un-divulged non-randomness in player role/alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game"] Yes, some of these roles may exist in the greatest idea thread. Mod will explicitly state which possible bastard elements will be in play post setup design
Hydras Allowed?: [Yes/No] yes, max 1
Other Restrictions?: [restrictions on experience, WOTC, etc., or just "None"] WotM in effect, must not be first on-site game.
Description: [link or describe any theme and mechanics pertaining to your game - flavor, deadlines, etc. this is also where you should list any reviewers or a backup/co-mod] upick of roles designed in the first 100 pages of http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=59348 . all players will submit 2 town roles 1 mafia role and 1 third party role, WITH the post number the role is found in. I will design a setup as balanced as I can based off of your submissions. Will post better write up / more detailed description when I'm no longer phoneposting

Why this is considered Bastard - In the Greatest Idea Thread, there are roles that change alignment mid-game, cult-esque roles, godfather/tailor/miller/ninja/sanity-impaired cop variants, secret win conditions, un-divulged non-randomness in role/alignment generation. I will not explicit lie to you, unless the role picked for the game explicit tells me to (insane cops etc. Hidden roles etc). I will not directly influence the game with moderator-designed mechanics. I will only follow the roles as picked out by the players. I will explicitly state what kinds of bastardness are able to be present (based on users' submissions before my attempt to semi-balance) in game's opening posts, so all bastardness can be semi-expected.
It's semi-open because you have a list of all possible roles in the grand idea thread, and nothing is preventing mass claim of role submissions by the players.
theme is based on non-normal roles/mechanics, not due to flavor, will be flavorless. Roles must be in the Greatest Idea thread.

I think you're confusing Greatest Idea and Grand Idea? Might want to clarify that for the game advertisement.
