Nevermind. Incognito is on the ball and awesome and because of this answered immediately. I will not tell you what my concern was until we have everyone contribute to the questions that are out at the moment. Please keep this in mind and comment on this if/when I forget about mentioning it.

A better answer for you. I would do nothing. Pressure is on the town to do something in the event of deadlock. However unless we are fighting that constraint I believe the town's best interest is in waiting. The chosen are untouchable from the scum during night. The scum have to get us townies to lynch them during the day.
What this has done is basically slightly change the day role of the town in my mind:
In a normal mafia game, the town uses day lynches to gather information about player links and whatnot. However in this setup, even though the town still stands to gain from day kills during day lynches, the penalty for failure is much higher. While it will still be necessary for day kills to happen, we should be a little more careful about using them.

My reluctance was due to me not understanding fully game mechanics in chosen. Before I explain that, I will allow others to comment. I will answer your question with 2/7 without explanation at this point.

Even though the town is eventually the one that has to force an action in deadlock, in reality I believe the pressure is still on the scum. They have to work hard to convince town to lynch chosen. They know who the chosen is, and the town do not. The town should be VERY reluctant to buy into talk within the day, if they do not also share the beliefs. I believe the town
might
actually have some of the benefit in this setup. Even though the pressure is on us townies, the scum have to overextend to try and convince us to day kill a chosen. We can use this to the advantage I believe. If you would like me to elaborate, I can, but would rather not say to much yet.
My question still stands to all. That includes you Sajin. Thanks.
