It also has the interesting dynamic of scum being unable to just kill and silence a townie that they want; by selecting someone for death, they conf!town the slot and give it influence. Of course, it's probably kind of annoying to be the d1 death marked townie, since you know in advance that you're gonna die quickly. I kinda feel like that should be a random generated thing? I guess the ? is if the overall EV is enough to require that scum do get that option, it's just that it'd be annoying for players who want to influence the game to feel like they'd just be the d1 automatic in order to silence their voice longterm.

Conq: you, sir, are great at being town.
BATMAN: Only jugg was the only one we didn’t scum read at least not me
Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.
SR: I want to give him a day
Life is simply unfair, don't you think?

I'd actually say that 6v2 with no d1 mark is probably a bit more fun for everyone. Whether it's balanced or not depends on how much +EV town's scumhunting is; like, 45% theoretical win rate from random lynching is kind of high (probably towns do a little bit worse on 6v2 with no d1 mark vs 7v2 with a d1 mark but I won't swear to it), and I'd suspect that towns would win this a bit more often than not.

And also scum don’t have the option to no kill because that only helps town instead of a 3/1 where scum auto win after a mislynch.
