I don't think this is a good idea at all.

For one, you said that whoever has the most votes by the end of the day will get lynched, meaning they die. Big no to this. This way of voting basically strips the defense time where the accused has the right for 20 seconds to speak his defense uninterrupted. This also strips off the judgment time from the voters who could possibly change their mind at the defense. Let's say you're a townie, minding your own business, let's even say you're Mayor and you don't want to reveal until necessary. Votes fall on you for whatever reason, you wanna reveal and save yourself in time? nah nah nah nah nah, git rekt nub. Mayor dies, because he didn't have a chance to defend himself.

Why number one is such a big issue is because for two, you should know that people will do last second votes and people will suddenly get killed with no chance of being pardoned, right? Even worse, you make the the most votes = death rather than most votes over 50% of total living players. Lynching is Town's main weapon, and they are usually given the majority to use this weapon. This gamemode lets minorities such as mafia land mislynches very easily. 15 living players, and it is possible for that one player to vote last second and get someone killed with a last second vote. less than 10% of the total voting possible gets someone killed, seems fair to you?

Yet even worse, this kills the whole fun and aspect of staying low profile because people will panic the instant they have votes on them. They can't wait until judgment time for the votes to be turned into innocent and for the voters to hear his defense. The instant someone gets voted, they'll panic and claim their roles, post their wills, scream for people to pull their votes away. Anyone can do this to anyone, and worst of all, you give people way too many votes to use. With the amount of votes everyone gets, even those with just 3, you could reveal everyone's role or claim in just a few days!

Even if you do fix number two, and let people vote by majority where it has to be above 50% of total votes, it would still be unfair to the accused, and people will still panic, panic reveal, panic post will, panic this and panic that. If you add defense time and judgment time, then it becomes a completely useless gamemode, and it doesn't stand out anymore, and it would just be horrible mate.

It's not fun mate, I don't care about balanced at this point cuz All Any exists. but this just won't be fun, simple as that.
