I don't play mafia anymore.

you should retitle this the "i'm not currently playing thread."

I haven't played in since Adel's hydra experiments but I'm coming back for geezer mafia.

Yeah I've prescreened by playerlist for ages precisely because of this.

If enough of them are good players, it's likely you'll have fun by teaming up/mindstorming with at least a couple of them. 1 bad case of idiotism plus 2-3 milder cases of VI rarely suffices to destroy the game, a couple of VIs often help with creating initial scatterplots of reactions. Form a band of obvtown and have fun steamrolling/PoEing through the rest.
Careful with non-invitational larges (especially themes) - hardest game type to find that isn't dominated by mindless yelling/a too large percentage of VIs starting or replacing in.

Yeah I barely play anymore and the only reason I'll consider a game is a once in a lifetime player list.
