2 mafia
either 6 or 8 townies

2 lynches on day 1, players don't find out the result of either day 1 lynch until both take place, and the first person lynched day 1 continues to have a vote for the second lynch of day 1. the rest of the game continues as normal.

I'm pretty sure 2:6 is scum-sided and 2:8 is town-sided, so I'm curious whether others have thoughts about which one seems 1)closer to balanced and 2)more fun.

Both are scumsided so 2:8 is probably better

I actually think this is scumsided at 2:10 (although somewhat more townsided than 2:11 vanilla would be). However, games of this sort tend to be more fun the fewer players there are; a setup in which town is likely to go for some time without catching scum even if they end up winning can be very demoralizing.
