That's really bad and no one should do that. If a player did that in my game i'd petition to the mods to get the guy blacklisted.

In general, just don't break rules.

Spoiler: Role A has an alignment of Town Killing
Role B is Mafia Deception
Role C is Town support
Role D is Neutral benign

So a standard-ish role list is built around these four roles, and the respective Alignments are filled in with one of each role, say:

TI
TI
TP
TP
TS
TS
Role C
Role A
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

Mafia Head
Mafioso
Role B
Mafia support

Role D
NB
NE
NK

This would rule out the possibility of a closed game. I think it would be best to give it it's own label, separate from the other five, like EFM (experimental forum mafia)
This would have to be hosted by a mod unless the mods think regular hosts could handle this.
At the end of the game, a result will be given by the mod overseeing, on whether the experimental roles have passed testing, failed and need to be reworked, or need to be tested further.

You can submit this kind of setup for review. Assuming the roles aren't too far out there, or you aren't using too many experimental roles, it should be fine to host in the standard queue.

To host a game you must have played at least one full game. Tfm and nfm don't count for this.

Beyond that, just do what the thread chit linked says and we'll take a look at your setup.

Deliberately breaking the rules to give your team an advantage will result in a blacklist pretty much 100% of the time

You can still do a closed game. Just guarantee the roles you want tested and make everything else closed. That's what I did for 11E when I tested the Werewolf.

I like the rest of your idea.

He obviously did
Jammy wouldn't have been lynched if Andilin hadn't done that
You really think that it was sheer incompotence?

Yes
You seriously overestimate andilin if you believe he's capable of thinking of modkilling himself to "confirm" his result
