Also I don't see how this is gamethrowing. Does it make the game more difficult? Yes. But it doesn't encourage people to cause their current group to lose. If you start as doctor, then end up as SK... oh well, you're rooting for SK's now. But that's not gamethrowing because you're not causing yourself to lose just by rooting for yourself. When you switch roles, no matter what role you end up as, you're still going to try and win. Just like any other role, the level of gamethrowing depends on the player not the role.
