I made a Mafia game, but it's way too complex... - Reyweld - 03-15-2017
So I made a deck building mafia game, but I think if I try to run it, it will crash and burn. There are a lot of secret things (as usual), but that stacked on top of the deck-building concept could lead to its downfall.
But,,,,,, I really want to run a "mafia"! Please help my decision by voting in the poll above.

I voted for all of them.

I think I am going to choose the first option.
A thread will be up sometime today in hawkspace, so don't miss out!
((Although, sign-ups will probs be at least a couple days))

Let's look at the continuous mafia equation:
d/dt p̃m(t)=-m/(N-2t)p̃m(t)+(m+1)/(N-2t)p̃m+1(t)
Solving this equation, we get
p̃m(t)=MCm(1-√(1-2t/N))M-m√(1-2t/N)m,
which we can convert to 〈m̃〉(t)=M√(1-2t/N), which is always decreasing over time, so a low-quality mafia game is more likely to survive the later in time.
So go on ahead, there should be no problems whatsoever.

Kieros is referring to this paper, by the way. However, after a cursory glance, it looks like those equations only apply to a simple game with only mafia and citizens, which does not seem to be the case with Reyweld's game.
Your move.

There's going to be some mafia and townies, else there would not be a mafia game. However, the setup is going to be complex to a point wherein there is not likely to be a cop, doctor, or other common role which modifies the phase transitions and/or information gathering abilities of the town. Since there are no common roles, we can assume within a margin of error ε>0 that |p̃m(t)-p̂m(t)|<ε for some N>Ṉ.
All this means is that more people need to play Reyweld's game to make it accurate.
