The G.O.A.T

[Herodotus]

There are games that include non-cult recruitment. They tend to involve trying to outguess the recruiters.

I agree with LLambdadelta.

There are many different skills that a townie/mafia can contribute to their team. Sometimes there are gaps that a single player can fill. Maybe a decent scumfinder is missing from the town, so the one who replaces in is critical; or maybe the mafia need a teammate who can predict the future of the game in order to make the right kills, so the one who replaces in is critical. Other times, a team could use more well-rounded players, because the scumfinder can't push a lynch through, or the goon who knows how the game will go is going to be lynched. Not many skills help both a town and a mafia - the only one that comes to mind is avoiding being lynched. And that's not enough.
