For the next game, we should do option 2, but give each player the ability to pause the day once to allow voting. The game would be paused for 24 hrs with people voting someone or voting no lynch. Each person can pause once per day, but doesn't have to vote. This will still be vulnerable to people AFKing. Maybe only being able to direct 1 question per day? With the others able to be answered by everyone?

Sorry, I was not aware the game had started. As soon as I was proded, I came back.
