I don't know this would be allowed, or if it's even new, but I was struck with this idea:

Everything would be ordinary (with no individual PR's) except that the players would have a collective healer ability. While voting for their lynch, the players also openly vote someone to be protected that night from a NK. They'd have until the point of lynch to pick. The player would have to be chosen by the same level of majority (i.e. 5/9), or there'd be no save that night.

In post 620, callforjudgement wrote:I'm pretty sure that's allowed. I'm not sure if there are any numbers where it works offhand, though (although if pressed, I'd start it at 2:9 in the understanding that it's likely going to be somewhat scumsided).

What would make it scum-sided?

That's actually another question I've had. It seems like "balanced" games are all a bit town-sided in setup, yet scum appears to win a little more often than town. Is it the long games? Do they make it harder for town to figure things out?
