Ive realised games rely too much on this mech to the point mafia can be exposed by this tool that is just to kick out afk players.
I suggest extending the day time to 10 mins (i think currently it's 8) and making kicks automatic when timer reaches 0 (with 15 seconds as well). I dont believe a counter-argument to this is 'some setups are hard and need more time'; if town has not decided a lynch in 10 minutes means either mafia is doing a great job or town sucks.
An alternative is not making kicks anon since the last to kick and announce it will be revealed anyways as the countdown from 15 begins.
