    unless the two players voting for each other are both town, in which case the mafia always wins

    so it's still 66% for mafia in this case

    Or the two town can vote first, both for the mafia. Still 50/50.

    Also with 2/7 there is no chance for a nolynch (town should nolynch at 1/3, 2/4, and 3/5, but none occurs.)

    M		T1	T2	T1	T1	T2	T2
    T1		M	M	M	T2	T2	T2
    T2		M	M	T1	T1	M	T1
    mafia wins 4 of 6

    You might be right.

    My thought was that, because the game ends immediately if the first vote is wrong, it really only matters what the first person does. I also made the assumption that the mafia wouldn't want to act first, but that's more of a generalization about mafia play than it is anything truly random.

    I imagine in reality, the number is closer to 50-50, but since this was supposedly based on pure probability, you're right. The numbers should be more like 63% mafia-favored.

    I recently discovered that, yes, mountainous games tend to favour mafia over town by a roughly 40/60% odds. But that's only for random lynches.

    Coqauvin the other piece of that is the smaller the player pool, the more the outcomes represent random votes, even with power roles. The less time the town has to gather information, the more the outcomes skew toward random.

    time is in no way dependant on the number of players in terms of how it impacts the game. The overall length is longer if there are more players because there are more people to sift through, but in terms of actually finding the mafia, time is irrelevant. Days last as long as they need to.

    no one, but in order to model things easily, one sometimes has to simplify things and then keep in mind the simplifications when considering deviations between the model and real life.

    if that's not a good enough answer,

    Time is completely dependent. If you have a threat of losing on day 3, the town is afforded far less room for error. A single wrong assumption can doom the town to effectively random votes.

    Room for error is not related to time.

    look you can take a full week of realtime getting a lynch on day 1. In that time, there will be a host of connections made just from people arguing with each other. If you miss, certain information is solidified and some is rendered null. Regardless, time's only impact on the game is roughly: the less time you spend hunting mafia, the more likely the mafia are to win.
