Social Psychology vs. Statistics

Kellynover 11 years ago

Many logical-minded people swear that Mafia can be boiled down to probabilities and numbers, whereas others claim that mafia is purely social (social psychology).

I personally think it is a mix. We can use social psychology to make reads on people, and use numbers to guess/support our reads.

Was just wondering what you all thought.

to deny the impact skill has on gameplay is naive

raw probabilities aren't really particularly useful as far as winning games goes

Setups can be boiled down to probability.

Psychology games aren't based off numbers. Hope this helps.
