I think if you reveal the votes the idea is unworkable because then scum gets votes and it's too hard to actually lynch any of them

But maybe scum is paranoid that if they're one of the wagons they split their votes. I don't know.

I guess the idea has a lot of unpacking to do but I could see it working in any case.

I interpreted as it was like Survivor. You see the vote totals but not who voted for who. That way, you have to figure out who was telling the truth and who wasn't. There would need to be a "vote cop" role that could determine who someone voted for, so someone who had no vote would have to be scum.

But I would think what could work is that scum is not told who town voted out. So if they kill the person with the most votes, they don't get a different kill. They would need to be given a further disadvantage, such as having no powers, to allow town to figure the game out. Because town can't win if scum get two kills every night and town hardly gets any information - it's just blind luck.

Alternatively, there are no night kills, only the vote out, and scum gets one bonus strongman kill but town has almost no powers. This basically amounts to "Survivor with a scum team" and a different win condition.

I don't know. There has to be a way to make it work.
