I was considering a similar suggestion, to let people put preferences for mafia/townspeople or role of lack of one. Then, I'd generate roles randomly, say, 5 times and pick the one that satisfies the most people. So, people are more likely to get roles they want but are far from guaranteed it.
Some people were against it because people would lynch them Day 1 and say "I know you would have wanted to be Mafia", which would be unfair.
How about implementing this only for people saying "I don't want to be Mafia?" I still do worry this might skew the game the same way.
