Say in a 30 person game with 6 mafia. should the mafia have a 30/6 (~17%) chance of winning? or should there be a 50/50. If it is 50/50 then over time everyone will lose more games than they win, as more people lose when town loses than when mafia loses. Still 17% is low and may make it exhausting for the people who get mafia to know they will often lose. Of course this is theoretical as analysis etc changes the odds, but with everything factored in where would be the best place to split the chances? | ||

Aim closer to 50/50. 17% means they'll almost surely lose. | ||

Mafia is supposed to give both sides an equal chance of winning, not to make the sure majority of players win  | ||

Of course it ultimately depends on the setup though. Well I mean if you factor those things (ie. scum vote together) into your balance, then you can make it 50/50 :D @rasta: how did you do that math? 6/36? | ||

Wow, now that you mention it I have no idea... In my mind I wanted 30/6 but how I got the number you listed I have no idea.... so sad. Nice catch, and it was a even 20% rather than the stupid never ending fraction I got. | ||
