When I say it doesn't translate well I mean something like this:

Player 1 has high charisma stats, but players 2-8 don't. So does the game just grab whoever is the highest to check to see if the bluff is successful? Then doesn't that just make the rest of the players meaningless if its a 1 man show deciding if things are successful or not.

or, if the game takes the average of all the players it makes the efforts of the first man meaningless if everyone else has a 1/10 stat for charisma.

Stats/actions/abilities which don't affect the entire group like that would be preferable - keypad hacking is a 1 person job for instance.
