Thinking on the theme, I was wondering if Duncan being alive could have any effect on the game mechanics. As Isaac stated and I speculated later on, we can not rely (completely) on the play to determine Town/Scum, but it could have other influences. Duncan is still alive which must mean something. No idea what, but since it's one of the driving factors in the play, it could have an impact. My first thought was that killing the king would be the first substitute Day Kill for ? to perform if we don't get a vote. This in itself might change the nature of the game. Maybe there is a "If the King is killed, the Town loses" rule (highly unlikely as it would cut the game short), or a "If the King is killed the objective changes from 'Win with the Town/Scum' to 'Get elected a Town/Scum player elected King'" (No, I will not vote for Isaac).

(Also: experienced players, what do you expect as a Town/Scum ratio in a 7 player game? 1/6? 2/5?)
