Collective Roleplaying is a term where every aspect of the RPG is owned by everyone who participates. All characters may be controlled by all players, no matter who brings in the character. If the game is turn-based, then each player may modify the last play by making the character do something different. The last play is still valid, but the next person may change the course of the character's actions. Or the next player may choose to use a different character. If the game is not turn-based, then the first person to get to the character has the right of way, which gives a competitive edge. If you were at a disadvantage on controlling a popular character, go for the least popular characters; this way you have an actual advantage.
In Collective Roleplaying you may make the characters do anything you want, since everyone has the chance to use them.
This type of game can be really ridiculous, due to the nature of the game. But that is the whole point really.

That collective roleplaying game was ridiculous! It caused everyone to get very angry at each other...

The collective-timing bias is a form of cognitive tendency to think in a certain way that consists of not understanding that a specific situation or task requires immediate decision by a single person while decision makers affected by collective-timing bias try, consciously or unconsciously, to waste time by sharing the potential decision with anyone around ignoring the fact that:
most people do not have the power to take that decision;
most people do not have interest in that decision making process;
they are in overdue;
they are paid for taking that decision.
A collective-timing bias is a powerful form of group-think.

B - “What? I do not know. I am a handyman. No collective-timing bias please”
A - “Your opinion is very important. We need an immediate decision. The acquisition of that company is in danger”
B - “I do not know. I am a handyman. I do not have the power or the responsibility to decide on that acquisition. No collective-timing bias please”
A - “Thank you for your opinion. We will go on by following your orders.”
